Summary
Wealthy, handsome, and very single Dean Winchester wanted to be CEO of his family's wine business. But in order to be considered for the position, he signed a contract with a clause that he had to be married wholeheartedly for at least a year by the eighty-fifth anniversary of the company, which was when his grandfather would name the next CEO. Guess who put it off until the last minute? But hey, he already arranged to marry one of his employees, no problem...well, no problem until she didn't show up, anyway.
The random employee he dragged along to witness the wedding had a solution.

Summary
After an explosive fight with his wife, Castiel Novak finds himself divorced and unemployed at thirty-four years old. Reduced to living with his cousin, Gabriel, he runs into the last person he expected to see: his ex-roommate and best friend, Dean Winchester. In a fit of generosity, Dean makes an offer to Castiel: move out of Gabriel’s house and into his. At least until Castiel gets back on his feet.
Living with Dean is easy, and almost immediately, Castiel and Dean fall back into their old friendship. And living with Dean awakens other feelings in Castiel, ones that he once thought impossible (doesn’t everyone appreciate the aesthetic qualities of their roommates?). But the specter of one disastrous night in college hangs over them both, making it impossible for them to truly reflect on their friendship–and maybe making it impossible for them to move forward into anything real.

Summary
Dean's hard work as the sales and marketing director at Sandover is earning him a tidy living and he's on track to become one of the youngest VPs the company has ever had. And if he just keeps working his ass off, he doesn't have time to think about who he's working so hard for, after Lisa broke up with him and Sam got a life of his own and the family in Sioux Falls is doing just fine. It's a charmed life and it only seems empty if he stops moving.
He runs into a recently-fired single dad at a bar who's trying to drink away his worries. Castiel is frumpy, exhausted, and kind of a jerk. But Dean needs someone to take care of, and Castiel needs any help he can get. It's just a mutually-beneficial arrangement, and nobody needs to talk about their feelings.
Or, how an obnoxious workaholic twenty-something Sugar Daddy and his grumpy DILFy forty-something Sugar Baby fall in love.

Summary
Angels are a species of quantum impossibility that can kill a human just by existing, and they have been forced onto a reservation in the Rocky Mountains for the safety of the humans who have slowly taken over the land they used to live on.
Dean got lost in the woods as a boy and swears an angel helped him get home, even though getting that close to one should have killed him. No one believes him and it nearly tears his family apart. Years later, the same angel crash-lands in his fishing pond, wounded and on the run.
Castiel has dangerous information about a political plot to ruin angel-human relations, and he needs help if he’s going to live long enough to expose the truth. Dean is the only person he knows who won’t die helping him, and the only person Castiel might be willing to die to protect.

Summary
The year is 1994: Mortal Kombat II is the best-selling arcade game, All-4-One are at the top of the charts, and grunge dies with Kurt Cobain. It’s also the year that Dean Winchester gets drafted to the biggest and most important professional wrestling organization in American history — the World Wrestling Federation. Rising quickly up the card thanks to his in-ring talent, mic-ability, and charisma, there’s only one thing standing in Dean’s way of becoming number one on the roster: Castiel Krushnic. Technically proficient and universally respected, Krushnic seems to hate Dean from their very first meeting for reasons that Dean can’t fathom, but sets about picking apart through outlandish and attention-seeking behavior.
It works. Pretty soon, Krushnic’s paying way too much attention and their fierce rivalry ends up sparking a passionate, toxic affair that burns bright and hot, and oh-so dangerous. Egos and obsessions get in the way of true happiness though, and combined with Dean’s escalating drug abuse, it sees the two of them struggling to keep themselves together and whole. After an inciting incident, they hit breaking point, resulting in betrayal, broken hearts, and career-ending injuries.

Summary
Between his fraught relationship with his sister and his tenuous place at his band's music label, Cas needs a distraction. He finds it in Dean, who's having his own issues with his brother's recovery from substance abuse and pressure from his dad (and band manager). After a stress-relieving one-night stand, Cas and Dean part on less than friendly terms, happy to never see each other again.
Months later, they find themselves back in close quarters as their rock bands tour together. With their negative first impressions behind them, Dean and Cas bond quickly, and with the allure of a convenient hook up, they fall into a secret friends-with-benefits relationship.
It's the perfect solution, until it's not. After all, Dean has a womanizing reputation to maintain, and Cas has been burned by closeted guys before.

Summary
Once upon a time, when Castiel taught himself how to ice skate, all he wanted was to spin and jump and twirl.
Except now, he's the best goalie in the Crowley's Icehouse amateur hockey league, and he knows he's not the teammate anyone's likely to ask for a favor.
Once upon a time, when Dean taught himself how to ice skate, all he wanted was to belong.
Except now, he's in his thirties, starting a new life in a new city, staring at this squinty, grouchy little dude that Benny says is going to get him up to speed before he starts playing on their hockey team... and, hell, he's pretty sure the ice wasn't this far down when he was a kid...

Summary
Castiel Novak is twenty-six years old when he's killed in the Civil War. The first soul to be laid to rest in the grounds of the new Lawrence Memorial Cemetery, his spirit remains in a liminal space—not in the living world, but not passing on, forever tasked with helping other spirits to go where he cannot.
His vigil over the grounds of his cemetery is a long and lonely one, unable to interact with anyone who still remains in the land of the living.
Until he meets Dean Winchester.

Summary
The game is simple.
Get in an elevator, and follow the rules. If you follow them correctly, the elevator will rise and when the doors open, they will open onto a world that is not your own.When his brother goes missing after investigating the death of a teenage girl in a hotel in St. Louis, Dean Winchester is dismayed to discover it involved an internet legend called “the Elevator Game”.
He’s even more dismayed when Castiel—who walked away weeks ago and hasn’t been returning Dean’s calls—shows up, also looking for Sam.
Dean doesn’t want to work with Castiel, and Castiel doesn’t seem thrilled about working with him, either. Can they put their differences aside when they discover that Sam disappeared after playing the Elevator Game? Will Dean and Castiel play the game and travel to the Other World themselves? Will they find Sam before it's too late?
The choice, dear reader, is yours. You are in control of the story.
But choose wisely, for once you play the Elevator Game, things may never be the same again.

Summary
Being the person heading toward that, going down that road, it’s literally killing Cas. They might not even make it to the end of the road before he gets there. And Dean is fine making that decision for himself, but what kind of person has he become, that he’ll make it for Cas, too?
He thinks, for the first time, What the fuck am I doing here?
He can see it now, that there’s a third option. He isn’t going to save the world. He’s not going to kill the devil, he’s not going to get Sam back, he’s not going to change anything for everyone. But maybe he can change something for someone.

Summary
“It frustrates me,” Cas mutters, “how the same sensation can feel sometimes good, and sometimes not.”
Dean’s hand is still rubbing slowly down the length of his spine, like he’s petting the valley between the wings he can’t see. “Well, that’s just par for the course,” Dean rumbles. “Sometimes a body wants touch and sometimes it wants to be left the fuck alone.”
Cas always wants touch. At least from Dean. He doesn’t say so. “It frustrates me how much good and bad I can feel at the same time.”
“Oh, buddy,” Dean says. “Yeah.”
(After the perfect darkness of the Empty, Cas finds the world a little...overwhelming. Dean tries to help.)
