    Summary

    When Hargrove's fist collided with Steve's cheek, he lost his stance, fell back onto his ass, and ended up pulling the fridge door with him. Steve expected another punch, or a kick to the stomach. Everything was quiet—scary quiet. He blinked his eyes open, his head throbbing, as he looked up at Hargrove, who stood before him, his eyes wide and his chest undulating rapidly.

    Then, Steve’s eyes trailed down to the Demodog, wrapped in the blanket that was now lying on the floor between his legs. Its mouth and body were all exposed. Steve’s breath hitched, and when he looked up, Hargrove was staring at him.

    "Harrington," Hargrove said, his eyes darkening and his pupils blown wide in disbelief, "what the fuck is that?"

    ----

    A fight, a dead Demodog, and a story of how everyone's life changes the moment Billy Hargrove comes to the Byers' house on that fateful night.

    Summary

    Dean’s sitting at the kitchen table with Sam when his phone rings. Jody’s name flashes across the screen and he considers not picking up. It’s not like Dean doesn’t want to talk to Jody, it's just that he can’t bear talking to anyone these days.

    “Hi, Jody,” Sam says.

    “Howdy, boys.” She asks them to take over a case. Something about werewolves. Dean doubts they will, Sam hasn’t let him pick up a gun in months, not since their last hunt.

    Jody’s voice cuts through the phone. “Alright, if you boys don’t wanna take the case, I’ll see if Castiel will, but I think he’s helping Claire in Colorado–”

    Dean doesn’t hear a damn thing after that, and by the looks of it, Sam doesn’t either. For the first time in days, Dean opens his mouth and speaks. “Cas is alive?”

    Jody’s voice is quiet on the other end. “He didn’t tell you?”

    Summary

    Just west of the town Porthgwarra, Cornwall, Robert Singer’s farm lies, a mess of ravaged land gaping out onto a fretting sea. Robert's orphaned godson, Dean Winchester, is named sole beneficiary of the farm - and though he hasn't seen his godfather in fifteen years, he travels across the Atlantic with his brother and half brother to care for Singer in his old age and tend to the farm. All of them hope to leave behind the squalor and famine of their old life.

    What Dean meets is the bird-infested home of a widowed eccentric, and a new shepherd whom he can neither stand nor see any use for - stoic, rude and conceited, Dean plans to fire the mysterious and wandering Mr Novak the moment he comes into legal possession of the farm. But upon the shepherd's offer to teach him the trade, in anticipation of Dean replacing the man himself, Dean finds in the wild and roaming man a steadiness and certainty his own life has never yet contained. And one day Dean will have to ask, not tell, the shepherd to stay.

    Summary

    Dean Winchester's life changed forever the night a demon appeared in his brother's nursery and killed his father.

    As a hunter Mary is determined to protect her sons from the evil she has run from her whole life - the same evil that took John. But Dean also trusts his protection to the angel in a trench coat he talks to in his dreams. Through years of tribulation and uncertainty, the Winchesters (plus a corgi that might be magic and an angel that may not be real) must fight monsters, demons, and even fate itself to survive as a family.

    Or: The one where Mary lives, Cas is there, and nothing and everything changes.

    Summary

    Blue Eyes tilts his head. A predatory smile twists his lips.

    Dean squirms beneath his gaze. “What? Does it look like I know your name, demon-priest?”

    “Mm. Names have a lot of power, you know.”

    “God, why did I have to get stuck with the most pretentious demon that’s ever-”

    “Mine is Castiel.”

    And, oh, Dean doesn’t hesitate before wrapping his tongue around it.

    “Castiel.” He likes it. Please, God help him, he likes it.

    “Is there an echo?”

    Jesus Christ.

    ——

    Or, Dean is a hunter and Cas is the unendingly sarcastic sin-eating demon he accidentally binds his everlasting soul to, so now Dean has to deal with things like the passenger deciding what music to listen to (Taylor Swift), unceasing threats of vehicular harm, and a disturbingly high propensity for arson and knives.
