Summary
It started with a dream. A confusing dream that's made Mike look at his best friend of a decade completely differently. Mike has certainly had worse dreams, usually ones involving Will still stuck in the upside down or being dragged out of that lake. This one was a very different kind of dream, but one that was equally terrifying to Mike wheeler. He had no clue what to do about it and it certainly doesn't help that the star of said dream was just two floors down.

Summary
What begins as a transforming love between Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak in the summer of 1965 quickly derails into something far more tumultuous when Dean is drafted in the Vietnam War. Though the two both voice their relationship is one where saying goodbye is never a real truth, their story becomes fraught with the tragedy of circumstance. In an era where homosexuality was especially vulnerable, Twist and Shout is the story of the love transcending time, returning over and over in its many forms, as faithful as the sea.
