Summary
Dean Winchester may have a reputation for being a skilled craftsman and blacksmith, but his life is just like anyone else’s. He’s over-worked and under-slept, and it’s all because of the niggling feeling in the back of his mind that tells him he’s… forgetting something. Still, he can’t let his weird dreams or errant thoughts get in the way of his work and his love for his craft. The strange feeling goes ignored.
That is, until he meets a man with jewel-blue eyes and an aura of intrigue. Castiel slots into his life in a way that Dean had never thought possible, and Dean grows accustomed to the mysterious man’s visits and brilliant smiles and tales of far-away places.
He’d never known he was missing a piece of himself until he met Castiel, and he thinks that Cas might feel the same way.
Until Castiel disappears from Dean’s life completely.

Summary
When Dean opened up shop as Mr. Fix It, he never expected his biggest, slowest, and possibly most important project would be the quietly beguiling owner of the bar at the other end of the strip mall. Getting Steve to open up to him would prove tougher than hacking into the NSA.
Five years after fleeing his corrupt family and starting life over as an unassuming bartender named Steve, Cas still regretfully maintained his policy of keeping everyone at arm's length-- most regretfully of all, Dean. It seems like a sound strategy for survival until his old life comes crashing through his front door.
Are there any problems too big for Mr. Fix It to solve?

Dean felt like he died that day in the dungeon. Even after Cas came back, he still felt like a ghost haunting the bunker. So Dean drives and he drives.
And then one day, he happens upon a run-down house for sale, and it just feels like a place he could belong. The air is fresh here, and there’s a back porch, like his parents’ old house had. He puts in an offer right then and there.
The most important part is that Cas likes it, too, and suddenly there’s a garden and a beehive out back, and ugly linen curtains that Cas picked out. Dean isn’t saying anything, but it’s obvious.
The house is too big for just one person.

Summary
Dean’s been struggling for weeks to find a way to save Cas from the Empty. He’d hoped Jack would spare just a smidge of his new-found God power to do him that one last favor. In an act of desperation, he turns to Rowena for help. Rowena knows a brilliant opportunity when she sees one, but neither of them could’ve expected the cascade of side effects that threaten to undermine the natural order just when they thought they might finally have freed themselves from cosmic problems once and for all.
All signs point to Chuck’s power screwing over the universe, and very specifically the Winchesters, all over again. With nothing left to fight back with, they put all their hope in the power of love. Maybe this time it will work…
