Summary
“He’s not me,” is all Castiel hears himself say. He doesn’t know why he feels the need for the justification. No one even really hears it amid the roar of the truck starting up and Sam calling for everyone to jump in the back.
But he hears it. The Other Castiel. Not-Him. He looks over his shoulder as Dean drags him away, lips lifting into a crooked sneer. As if to say if you really knew you weren’t me, you wouldn’t need to say it.

Summary
Dean's life is finally changing. After years of enduring Alastair's abuse, the alpha dies and Dean's married off to the next alpha the system pairs him with - Castiel. The man is strange and distant, but not exactly bad, and Dean's determined to be on his best behavior and not mess up the chance he was given. Soon enough, though, he fucks up anyway and has to call the alpha for help.
Castiel's lived his entire life without an omega by his side, and he was fine with that. He doesn't know how to proceed once he's suddenly married to a beautiful man who's obviously been through a lot. Omegas were always a confusing subject to him, so he tries not to interfere much - neither of them is there by their choice. But when Dean calls for help, he understands he's going to have to set some things straight and engage more.

Summary
They'd done it, actually defeated and banished Chuck. Dean's adrenaline-fueled pulse hadn't even had a chance to fully stop thundering in his ears when, to his horror, Castiel's brilliant smile slipped from his face and he dropped, lifeless, to the ground.
No way was that going to be the end of this story, though. If he could literally face down and beat God, then no ridiculous bargain with some kind of shadow monster (all-powerful Entity, his ass) was going to stop Dean from finally having what he'd wanted for so long. A little spellwork, a little help from Billie, and a lot of pointless protesting from the rest of the gang, and then Dean was off and hurtling into the Empty in hot pursuit.
But when were things ever as simple as he'd hoped they'd be? Getting into the Empty and finding Castiel would be the easy part; the road home would be another sort of journey entirely.

Summary
“It's Cas. Well, Bobby. Cas called Bobby,” Sam corrected himself. “He asked Bobby to evacuate the town, said there was a bomb or something.”
Dean tightened his grip, the rubber rim of the steering wheel digging into his palm. “A bomb threat? What’s he playing FBI for?”
Sam shot him a look. “It’s Cas, Dean. It’s not going to be a normal bomb, it must be something to do with demons. Or angels. Or both.”

Summary
It seemed like a normal case. It always does... Dean has never seen Castiel, the real Castiel. But he’s never really thought about it until the truth of it is thrown in his face, abruptly, and violently. A case out in the deserts of Arizona and old Native American lands uncover a long dormant evil that reemerges when the brothers and the angel stumble upon it. The evil is hungry for power and what powerful being is more tempting than an angel. With Cas suddenly ripped from the brothers, stranded in the middle of the desolate wilderness, they must find a way to save their friend. With the clock ticking and their resources dwindling, Sam and Dean must find a way to defeat the evil and save Cas — before Cas becomes twisted beyond recognition, and before the hunters become the hunted.

Summary
Dean had plans for Valentine's Day, and they didn't include a headache, sore joints, and his aggression running so high that if he saw another alpha he'd probably try and tear their throat out.
Goddamn, but he hated being in rut.

Until.

Summary
Dean is a Prince, and even in the 21st century he’s expected to make a good match (unfortunately for Castiel, marrying your local librarian and best friend apparently doesn’t count). The announcement of Dean’s upcoming arranged marriage to someone he doesn’t even know hits Castiel hard.
But late in the night during his bachelor party in Las Vegas, Dean leans over to Castiel and asks him a question. Castiel knows he should say no. But the next morning, Dean and Castiel wake up with matching rings on their fingers.
With an international incident only one mistake away, Dean and Castiel begin trying to get an annulment in secret - but slowly realise that neither of them wants to spend the rest of their lives apart.

Summary
Dean can’t help it. Castiel’s laugh is infectious, washing over him and sweeping him up in its tide. His throat and stomach ache with the feel of it, unfamiliar muscles worked past their endurance. He hasn’t laughed like this in weeks, maybe years.
Cas doesn’t stop laughing, and Dean relishes it. It’s such a good sound, deep and throaty. It rumbles over him the same way that Baby’s engine purrs, to where he can almost feel it in his gut. Dean’s giddy, the kind of happy that hunters don’t get to feel, and if it weren’t for the ceiling, he thinks he might float away. Cas’ eyes crinkle when he laughs, and his smile goes wide and gummy. He’s so brilliant, so alive—
But you’re dead, Dean thinks helplessly. But you’re dead.

Castiel Novak is one of the best hunters Dean Winchester has ever worked with. He's witty, whip-smart, and has enough knowledge about the supernatural to rival an encyclopedia. He's got humor dry enough to put the Sahara to shame and he's pretty easy on the eyes as well. All in all, he's the best partner Dean could have hoped for.
Too bad he's dead.

Summary
Castiel comes home from a business trip to learn that Dick, his boyfriend of five years, has been entertaining paid company while he's been out of town, and it's not the first time. They break up, but keep living together while Cas looks for a new apartment.
At a business dinner soon after, Cas runs into someone he’d never expected to see again: Dean Winchester, his unrequited high school crush. He’s surprised when Dean gives him an enthusiastic greeting, and annoyed when their talk is interrupted by Dick, who acts a little possessive. Despite that he and Dean reconnect, and quickly become close friends.
Each of them harbors a secret about the other that prevents them from voicing their desire for more, and the awkward living situation Cas is still in doesn’t help matters. With a little prodding from mutual friends, maybe these two can finally find their way back to a path they missed the first time.- Language:

Summary
Leading his regiment across the continent against Napoleon was all Dean Winchester cared about, for years. Until his father died, and the Earl of Winchester was needed at home.
A letter out of the blue saves Dean from having to face the ghosts that await him at Winchester Hall. Castiel Shurley, who has fallen from the heights of society, makes an exceptional Estate Steward, enabling Dean to keep his position in France for at least a while longer.
“A while” becomes a year, and then more, as the war trudges on.
But one day, Dean must return home. And there waits the man whose letters have kept him whole while the war took a piece more of him every day.
Now, away from his men and his guns, Dean needs a different kind of courage. How does Dean tell Castiel that he didn't return for his title—he returned for him?

Summary
Though they both move in the highest circles of London society, the Duke of Milton and Viscount Winchester have never met-- until the day of their best friends’ wedding. The spark of attraction between them is undeniable, but both are determined bachelors. When a second encounter leads to unexpected consequences, there is only one solution: they must pretend to be betrothed in order to avoid scandal, then quietly break the engagement once some new piece of gossip arises.
In the meantime, they’ll have to play the part convincingly enough to fool all of London into believing in their romance. But somewhere along the way, the line between act and actuality becomes blurred, leaving them both wondering if this was the worst idea they’ve ever had-- or the best.

Summary
It had begun as such a good plan; one that benefitted them both. And masquerading as Castiel Krushnic's boyfriend during the weeks of balls, galas, and charity events certainly was no hardship. With the impending end of their arrangement, though, Dean Winchester must admit that behind the mask of an aloof CEO lies a man he could fall in love with. Or maybe, he already has…

Summary
Dr. Dean Winchester, professor of Mechanical Engineering, was full of confidence in his own abilities when he decided to purchase a fixer-upper house to rehab and remodel on his own. Now, standing in the middle of his new house and praying the floors won’t cave in, he’s realizing that determination and academic brilliance might only take him so far this time. The bigger problem: his overconfidence in the face of other people’s doubts (ahem, Sam) means that asking for help now will mean swallowing a whole lot of pride…and he’d rather not.
Hiring a secret contractor to do the work without telling anyone seems like the perfect solution.
Accidentally hiring an amazingly hot secret contractor wasn’t part of the plan.
And when Sam overhears a conversation and starts connecting dots, a snap decision and another lie on top the first leads to a ridiculous balancing act of fake stories, pretend relationships, and one hell of a renovation tale.

Summary
Dean was tired of dating. It was expensive and fake, and with a landscaping business to keep him busy, he just didn't have time or desire. The mysterious guy at the bar seemed to feel the same way, and when he came up with some outlandish ideas for unconventional dates he called un-dates, Dean couldn't help but be intrigued. Dean found himself volunteering for the tasks, and soon he was wrapped up in a situation he never expected -- while playing bingo, grocery shopping, and eating cheap burgers in a parking lot, he fell completely in love with a beautiful man who kept most people just out of reach of his true self. Would Dean be able to convince him that falling in love was worth facing his deepest fears?

Dean Winchester was happy to leave the pain of high school behind and move to California to be with his best friend, Cas Novak. Ten years later, the past is dredged up again when he receives an invitation to his high school reunion. He's reluctant to attend because, while he's been successful in many areas of his life, he's yet to settle down with a romantic partner. Cas offers to attend with him, and after they are mistaken for a couple multiple times, suggests that they could pretend to be a couple for the reunion. Dean is only too happy to agree. During their week in their hometown, a series of events pushes both Dean and Cas to closely examine the feelings they've pushed aside for years.

Summary
Caught between the lesser of two evils, omega Dean Winchester is thrown into the orbit of Castiel Novak—a gorgeous, older, and incredibly wealthy businessman…and perhaps the only alpha who wants him for his brains, not his body. Castiel has no interest in bending Dean over the nearest surface and fucking his brains out, which is a first. Not that Dean cares about the alpha’s lack of interest. Nope. Uh-uh. He couldn’t care less.
