Summary
When Dean Winchester and Claire Novak are forced to have weekly meetings, neither of them are in the slightest bit enthusiastic.
However, after the initial disinterest, Dean and Claire begin to discover that they both have a lot of similarities. Not only do they both know sign language but they have both suffered loss. They’re both running from their problems and most importantly, they both love stories.
As Dean delves into anecdotes of his past, Claire begins to notice that there is one central figure in all of them. The more Dean goes into his memories; the more Claire has questions. Soon, she discovers that there is an underlying secret within Dean’s stories, a hidden truth as to why Dean ran all those years ago.
The more Claire discovers about Dean and the more she pieces together, the more desperate she is to figure out a way to help Dean find his way back home.

Summary
Since he has to stay deep in the closet to protect his job as a children’s librarian in conservative Wichita, Kansas, Dean’s main outlet for sexual frustration is writing and reading slash fiction for his favorite show, Devil Boys. When he starts corresponding with AngelofThursday, another male slash writer in his ship, he really is just looking for friendship… but when it seems like more might be on the table, he’s not going to turn it down. If only he didn’t also have a crush on Cas, the hot volunteer at his library branch…

Summary
It had started out as something innocuous; a slip of the tongue that had Dean’s heart leaping in his chest. They'd just watched a rom-com together for movie date night, and as the credits started to roll, Dean tried to ask Cas an innocent question.
“Will you-”
“Marry you? Yes, of course,” Cas replied.
It was just teasing; playful and affectionate as Cas quoted the rom-com movie.
But now the thought was in Dean's head. Words straight off of Cas’ lips. Maybe he did want to call Cas his husband. But the playful teasing didn't stop there. At least once or twice a week, anytime Dean said the words ‘will you’, Cas replied with either ‘marry you’ or ‘marry me.’
How could those two simple words be both Dean's healing and his undoing?- Language:

Summary
"Cas couldn’t help but sigh in contentment, knowing that there was no better way to wake up than this. He looked down to see his boyfriend cocooned into his side, eyes shut closed, still soundly asleep. He had his neck buried in the crevice of Cas’ neck and shoulder, just above his collarbone. His hair lightly tickled against Cas’ jaw, as he slowly breathed in and out. Cas turned his head slightly so that he could place a kiss atop Dean’s head, before moving his hand so that he could rub circle’s into Dean’s bare back to wake him up..."
One year on from their first meeting as neighbours, Dean and Cas are hosting a New Year's Eve party for their closest friends and family. With a day full of shopping, cleaning, spending time together, and meeting more of the family for the first time planned, Castiel reflects back on how far they've already come, and how grateful he is to have someone like Dean in his life.

Summary
Unable to keep the grin off his face, Dean held up his finger again. “Remember: absolute secrecy. You saw nothing, and you don’t know anything about what you’re about to not see, okay?”
The corner of Castiel’s mouth ticked up, eyes bright with mischief and a shared secret. “We wandered a grey wood in the other direction before coming back. It was very boring. I don’t understand the point.”
Sweeping out an arm for Castiel to go first, Dean’s grin was nearly giddy. “That’s what I like to hear!"

Summary
Pretty has never led to anything he ever wanted. Pretty came with weak, came with desperate, came with hurt... And those were the words he could repeat in mixed company. Pretty was the boy in the bad part of town, trying to stop shivering long enough to do what needed to be done to feed his brother. He swore once, once he was grown, and hard, and strong, that he would never be pretty again.
Cas calls Dean ‘pretty’ in a way he’s never known before.

Summary
"This was a mistake, Castiel thinks, almost laughably. Lightning does strike twice."
Six years after their plane crashed, stranding Castiel and Dean injured and alone in the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness, life is pretty damn good. Married and more in love than ever, they've settled into their shared life together with few bumps along the way and no intention of ever ending up in a situation like that again. That is, until Sam shows up for a visit and turns everything they thought they knew about where they're going and where they've been upside down. Somehow, Sam manages to suck Dean and Castiel into flying to Hawaii to help him untangle a twisted, murderous web where tourists are disappearing and hacking for evidence just won't cut it. What will happen when a would-be heroic Team Free Will gets in over their heads, stranding Dean and Castiel in a brand-new kind of wilderness and leaving Sam to once again follow a breadcrumb trail to ensure they survive?Series

Summary
Dean Winchester never expected to see the gorgeous, intriguing man from his unforgettable one-night-stand again. He's even more shocked and embarrassed when the guy turns out to be the newest Professor at the same College for which he coaches a winning Division 1 football team. Half of his starting players are failing this guy's class, and in exchange for Castiel letting them play, Dean's promised to attend extra tutoring sessions along with them. That means he's going to be working side-by-side with the only man on campus who knows that he's bisexual and has firsthand proof. Not to mention the fact that Dean is definitely still crushing on him, hard. It's a good thing Castiel is a Professor because Dean has a lot to learn, starting with the fact that people can surprise you, if you'll just give them a chance. A coming out story full of fluff and sports and rocks and love.

Summary
Castiel Novak has a dull, predictable life. He's single, lonely, and lives with his cat. He's also had the same job at Sandover International for eight long years.
Dean Winchester doesn't seem to be going anywhere. His job sucks, and his previous bad experiences have put him firmly back in the closet. He's spent so long looking after his brother, he doesn't remember how to have anything for himself.
Everything changes for them both when Castiel's brother talks him into partnering on a new business venture - Casa2, an LGBT-friendly venue in their small, conservative town.
Working in the bar at night, Castiel begins receiving phone calls from a cautious-but-charming mystery man 'Armando'. His new acquaintance is trying to get up the courage to come out to more people than just his brother, and Castiel finds himself invested in helping. An odd phone-friendship blooms, as they both turn out to be just what the other needs.
Trying not to either risk his job or let down his brother, Castiel finds himself torn. Would Armando ever want more than friendship from him? Or should he beg the sexy new maintenance man at his office to come and fix all his problems...

Summary
Dean wasn’t the type of person who did this kind of thing. He just wasn’t. GISH?? Ugh. The whole thing was just further proof that Dean would do anything his brother wanted him to do. Why else would he be in a Stormtrooper costume, calling up his ex-girlfriend for a private yoga class? Had he been stuck in a rut that long? Given that he’d been pining for the same freakin’ guy, his professor and coworker no less, for three long years… maybe.
Cas was definitely the type of person who did this kind of thing, not that many people knew that. He was one of the most well-respected professors at KSU. His students and coworkers didn’t need to know that he was captain of a GISH team, or that he knitted kinky accessories and made art with his online friends. His TA certainly didn’t need to know either. Just professionalism, of course. Nothing at all to do with the failed attempt at a relationship, three years of pining, and frequent inappropriate daydreams.
A two-person love triangle with online friendships, costumes, and a lot of glitter.

Summary
Castiel and Dean meet for the first time on a plane ride out of Nowhere, Alaska. Castiel’s headed home after an impulsive solo vacation and Dean, a hardened Alaskan native, is just trying to get out of the impossibly small town he grew up in that’s got nothing left to offer him. They forge an instant connection over Dean’s flying anxiety and whiskey, a meet-cute that has all the makings of a rom-com with a sickeningly sweet happy ending. That is, until their plane explodes in mid-air, crashing headlong into the Alaskan wilderness and killing everyone on board save for Dean and Castiel. When no rescue shows up to save them, the two men are forced to make some tough decisions. To make it home alive they’ll have to trust each other and find faith neither of them has ever really wanted. Will they survive or succumb to the unforgiving mountain wilderness? And will their journey tear them apart... or bring them closer together?

Summary
Eternally single professor Castiel is quiet, nerdy, and keeps to his research. The one indulgence that he allows himself is spending hours on YouTube bingeing the vlogs of a handsome, reckless archaeologist. Hunter styles himself as a bit of an Indiana Jones type, and he reminds Castiel of the adventurous, free person he longs to be. Plus, he’s super hot.
Imagine Castiel’s surprise when he meets the new archaeology professor at the Humanities potluck.
This is his chance—he is finally in the same room as Dean “Hunter” Winchester!
Unfortunately, the best interaction shy, awkward Castiel can manage is to steal his new colleague’s Tupperware.

Summary
Dean Winchester has everything he was supposed to want: a peaceful home in a small town close to his little brother, and his own veterinary practice, just like his mom hoped. But life in Angel’s Rest isn’t quite what Dean imagined. He’s lonely, and he has no way to relieve the pressures of day-to-day life.
A chance meeting with a rude sheep named Meg leads Dean to Castiel, the owner of Blazing Needles, the town’s independent yarn and craft store. The connection between them is instant, and it seems like Castiel could be everything that Dean needs. He’s just got to work out how to make that leap...
A safe, sane, and consensual tale of comedic animal encounters, little white lies, and waiting for the right (wrong) moment.
