    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

    When Dean swipes right on Castiel, he expects the usual—some playful banter, maybe a date, nothing serious. But from the first message, Castiel is different. He’s sharp, confident, and knows exactly what to say to leave Dean restless and wanting. Their chemistry crackles through the screen, teasing turning into something charged, something neither of them can ignore. But when they meet in person, Dean realizes he’s not just flirting with trouble—he’s walking straight into it.

    **

    Dean: So, do you just come with the warning label, or should I start drafting one myself? Something like: “Caution—may cause shortness of breath, excessive blushing, and uncontrollable moaning.”

    Castiel: I bet the sounds you make are as pretty as you are.

    **

    Yeah, he's definitely in trouble.

    Under Construction!! Going through the first few chapters because the format is all in italics.

    Summary

    And then Dean had shivered - actually fucking shivered, like he was some love-struck teenager - and Castiel had noticed. Something had changed in his expression, in the way he was holding his body, and his tongue had darted out to wet his chapped, dry lips and it was fucking on.

    Since then, they’d fooled around in every apartment that Dean had shown Cas and Cas had subsequently rejected. And it’s not like Dean was doing it on purpose: picking places he knew Cas wouldn’t like so they could keep seeing each other and keep having sex like bunnies at every viewing.

    Except, of course, he totally fucking was.

    Summary

    In the Kansas Smoky Hills in 1911, bachelors Dean and Castiel have fallen into an easy rhythm: Dean helps Cas on his farm, Cas helps Dean on his, and if they help each other in more intimate ways… Well, no one else has to know.

    They might not speak about what their arrangement means, but Cas is content—until Dean announces that he has a mail-order bride coming on the next train, and everything Cas has taken for granted is thrown to the wind.

    With the arrival of Lisa comes a swirl of jealousy and confusion. Neither Dean nor Cas can keep their hands off each other, but their once quiet relationship is now volatile and tense, and Cas is left to wonder—can their bond weather the storm?
