    Summary

    Folklore professor Castiel Novak and his niece Claire have found the “stairs in the woods”, an urban legend that Novak wants to include in his forthcoming book about urban myths. A simple exploration turns tragic when Claire disappears. In a race against time and the unknown, Novak needs expert help and he needs it fast.

    Dean Winchester may be retired from hunting monsters, but he’s still saving people. He and his team–IT wizards Charlie Bradbury, Dorothy Baum, Frank Devereaux, and lawyer Sam Winchester–work to find people who have disappeared and return them to their families. The pay’s decent, and it’s less risky than hunting a nest of vamps (usually).

    Chance, or perhaps fate, leads Dean to Castiel Novak and his missing niece. Dean knows he should avoid getting emotionally involved with the handsome professor, but there’s just something special about him. The closer he gets to Castiel Novak, the more he’s pulled into the web of urban legend that might lead to secrets he’d rather not tell…

    Summary

    All Dean ever wanted was to help his baby brother get out of the shitty life their father raised them in. It was too late for him to escape a life of petty crime, but he'd be damned if he let it be too late for Sam.

    He thought he'd gotten him out for good too. Sam was finally a lawyer, just like he always wanted. He was free - but in the blink of an eye, everything came crashing down around them. After Jessica, Sam slipped further and further through the cracks, and one bad deal later had him kneeling at the boot of one Castiel Fucking Novak.

    Like hell Dean was going to let his brother become another cog in Novak's fucked up crime syndicate!

    Summary

    Dean Winchester fixes things. Keeps his head down. Follows orders, mostly. Doesn’t ask questions. He can’t afford to, not with a father watching his every move, a brother he’s desperate to protect, and a past sealed behind a NDA.

    So when a repair job sends him to a brothel on the edge of town, he tells himself it’s just work. Just another job.

    But the android he’s sent to fix doesn’t behave like the others. It looks at him too long. Hesitates before it speaks. And when it touches him, Dean forgets—for a moment—that machines aren’t supposed to feel.

    He knows better than to get involved. He does it anyway.

    Now he’s tangled in something bigger. Secrets, loyalties, and everything Dean thought he understood about free will and humanity.

    He’ll have to decide if being human is about what you’re made of or the choices you make.

    Updates every Friday with smaller bonus chapters now and then mid-week!

    Summary

    Dean Winchester has everything he was supposed to want: a peaceful home in a small town close to his little brother, and his own veterinary practice, just like his mom hoped. But life in Angel’s Rest isn’t quite what Dean imagined. He’s lonely, and he has no way to relieve the pressures of day-to-day life.

    A chance meeting with a rude sheep named Meg leads Dean to Castiel, the owner of Blazing Needles, the town’s independent yarn and craft store. The connection between them is instant, and it seems like Castiel could be everything that Dean needs. He’s just got to work out how to make that leap...

    A safe, sane, and consensual tale of comedic animal encounters, little white lies, and waiting for the right (wrong) moment.
