    Summary

    *clap*clap*clap*clap*

    Dean's perpetually single and lonely in a crappy apartment in his hometown, with no end in sight to the physical and emotional issues that prevent him from moving forward or fully participating in a life and world that's passing him by. His new roommate's turning out to be a bro. A bro who has a shit-ton of loud gay sex in the bedroom across their hall, but life seems to be progressing and Dean discovers he doesn't have to be alone as he'd thought.

    Complete, posting every day or so, all due to be posted by Christmas.

    Summary

    When Dean’s brother can’t go on their planned trip to New York City, Dean goes alone. He meets Cas, a man who’s there to “do things differently” and invites Dean to do the same. Through their adventures, Dean expands not only his palate, but his idea of who he is, who he can be…and who he can be with.

    Summary

    When Dean finds Castiel standing on the wrong side of the bridge railing in the pouring rain, he takes him home. He finds himself caring for the man as a replacement for his younger brother, but when Cas gradually reveals what led him to contemplate suicide Dean realises that they can't ignore his past, and takes steps to help Cas heal and move on. As Dean becomes more aware of how our pasts can affect us, and as his old trauma resurfaces, he – albeit reluctantly - starts to open up to Cas about his own past. What starts out as a friendship born of loneliness and desperation grows into something more as they are drawn closer to each other over time, and slowly help each other to mend.

    (The tags probably make this sound more depressing than it's going to be.)
