    Summary

    It’s 1973, and it’s the middle of spring, and each passing day is warmer than the one before it. The troops are returning from Vietnam in droves, and the American shores they stumble upon are just a little more accepting of homosexuality than the ones they left all those years ago. But Father Castiel Novak has never even stepped foot out of Salvation, let alone out of the Midwest, and as the only priest in this very small town, he’s determined to remain in the closet until his very last breath.

    Things take a turn when Salvation’s newest resident confesses to having urges for other men. Dean Winchester wastes no time in asserting himself as both intolerably arrogant and an ungodly temptation, and Castiel’s only defense is to keep his distance. Despite his best efforts, a friendship still ensues, and it’s a very slippery slope then, with things going from bad to worse when Dean offers his self-proclaimed good hands to help bring Castiel’s family home back to life.

    Summary

    Dean’s voice is all low and husky and “you didn’t do so hot on your exam, Cas,” he says.

    And Oh god, Sam thinks, and brings his hands up, runs them over his face in his nervousness, through his hair, and what’s it going to be like, he thinks, when he shatters Dean’s world—now, a life so simple where the only worry is Cas failing his laundry test, and then, The After, when Sam’s told Dean that Cas is...

    Dean and Cas have a very public deathbed confession and officially become an item. And this would totally be thrilling—except Sam gets knocked out during the fight and misses the whole damn thing.

    Or the one where everybody except Sam knows and Sam thinks Dean’s sudden newfound celibacy is a witch’s curse.

    Summary

    Prompt: You broke up with your ex and the love of your life…200 years ago. Neither of you realized the other was immortal until you meet again while grocery shopping.

    The Greek God of War, known to his friends (if he had any) more simply as Dean, reluctantly leaves behind the man of his dreams after a hot summer fling in Paris of 1820, and he's never stopped wishing things could have been different. Two hundred years later, he's a very different man—teaching Kindergarten and living like a regular mortal instead of building weapons and turning neighboring countries into bloody enemies, but one thing hasn't changed, that's how much he misses Castiel.

    Oh well, at least he can eat his feelings—time for a grocery run!

    Summary

    Growing up, Dean had constantly heard the story of The Lost Prince: the exotic beauty whose intelligence and kindness surpassed all others. He'd heard how the prince was kidnapped from his home by a great and terrible beast and hidden away in the dark forest, waiting for a brave knight to come and save him. He begged for his dad to tell him this story every night before he went to bed, so he was quite familiar with the fairytale.

    And yet, he was still unprepared when he actually met the Lost Prince himself.

    Immediately, Dean had taken upon himself the seemingly impossible task of saving the Lost Prince from the beast that caged him in. No matter what the cost.

    After all, how hard could it be?
