Summary
Deciding he has nothing left to lose, worn-out New York attorney Castiel Novak takes his dying father’s 1971 Dodge Challenger for a joyride only to end up wrapped around a tree with a severe concussion and memory loss, saved by an unknown hero on a dark road.
With the help of his colleague and friend, Sam Winchester, Castiel restores his father’s car to like-new. And now, with the help of Sam’s brother, Dean, an EMT who plays mechanic as a hobby, Castiel tries to overcome his newfound anxiety about driving through drag racing with Dean and his friends.
But Castiel finds himself irresistibly drawn to Dean, who offers himself as a distraction from Castiel’s problems and reveals to Castiel that the Winchesters have a dark past that Sam has never spoken about.
And, just like they drive, Castiel and Dean are fast and reckless, using each other to run from their own lives, which are connected more than Castiel realizes.

Summary
“If you had chosen—differently, I was considering going back to New York.” He half expects Dean to jump out of bed in shock but he's pleasantly surprised when all he does is lace their fingers together and kiss Castiel’s knuckles one by one, leaving a long, lingering kiss on the finger wearing his ring.
“You're not freaking out.”
“No. I am, a little.” Dean grips his hand harder. “But I'm also reminding myself that you're here, that we're home. You're not going anywhere.”
Picking up right at the end of Closing Time, Dean and Cas are in for a surprise, and they have Balthazar to thank. Jokes on everyone else because these two have a surprise of their own to share.

Summary
Years ago, Dean spent a few months in the small town of Burkitt Bay. His memories of the place will forever be tied up with Cas, and with a relationship that ended far too abruptly.
When Dean receives a troubling letter from Cas one day, he decides to head back to Burkitt Bay. What he finds there only deepens his concern: Cas is missing, the townspeople are lying to him, and the eerie fog that's enveloped the town doesn't seem entirely natural...

Summary
Miracle Zeppelin Winchester was a goddamn stalker!
It was bad enough when his dog was trying to get the attention of every passer-by that walked under Dean’s apartment balcony, but now he had developed this weird obsession with the man who lived in the building opposite.
His best friend Charlie was no help. She got a kick out of the whole thing and even went as far as filming his dogs “pining” for TikTok. Now the entire internet knows about his canine peeping-tom, including the man who holds Miracles' affections. Dean just wanted the earth to swallow him whole.
Thankfully, his neighbour didn’t seem to be mad about the whole thing; in fact, Castiel took it all in his stride. And after the chance run-in at the beach (pun very much intended!) Dean was starting to think that maybe posting that TikTok wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

Summary
When Castiel’s plans for the summer get cancelled and he’s left with nowhere else to go, Dean invites him to go home with him. It seems an easy solution to cure Castiel’s summer blues, but when they arrive at the Winchester household, Dean realizes due to a slight miscommunication with his mom he and Castiel will have to spend the summer sharing a bed and holding hands because the entire Winchester family thinks they’re dating.
And really it shouldn’t be that big of a deal because Dean Winchester isn’t actually in love with his best friend; except for that he is.

Summary
After Dean averted another Apocalypse with Amara, things have gotten back to normal at the bunker. Or, almost normal, if not for the fact that Cas is fully human again, now. Apparently, it’s permanent. What strikes Dean as odd, though, is the fact that Cas spends his days locked up in his room, and, somehow he manages to make money out of… something. Dean makes it his mission to find out what it is. What if it’s illegal? He can’t let Cas get into trouble for money. He sure as hell isn’t expecting the truth to be so crude, and Cas to be so casual about it.

Summary
Castiel Milton is tense, ticked off, tipsy, and trolling. Or he thinks that’s what it’s called. The divorced man has never had a one-night stand, but he believes it’s just what he needs to get out of his funk and get to feeling something like himself again. He meets Dean Winchester, a selfless, kindhearted man who’s down and drunk after yet another betrayal, the relationship one in a line of failed relationships in which he’s ended up on the losing end. They get along well, and they agree to a one-night stand... no commitments, no complications. But through a series of events, their one-night stand gets delayed... and delayed... and delayed. And while they’re waiting for their inevitable hookup, Cas finds himself falling for the man he’s only meant to have for one night, a man who said he was swearing off relationships. Can he convince himself that the agreement they made is all he really wants?

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
When Dean Winchester’s friend and neighbor, Garth, moves out of their duplex, he is not expecting him to be replaced with a cranky, weed-smoking recluse with zero taste in music, but that’s what he gets. But Dean soon realizes there is more behind Castiel’s brooding stare and prickly personality. There is someone worth getting to know. Someone who needs a little TLC, even if he is too stubborn to admit it.
Castiel Novak is a survivor. He has survived his parents' tragic death, He has survived being kidnapped and tortured by his own brother, and he has survived living with the constant flow of nightmares that have followed. So Castiel can certainly survive having to live next to an annoyingly cheerful (beautiful) man, with kind green eyes and an unhealthy affinity to classic rock, who is determined to be his new friend.
Or, the one where Castiel starts a friends with benefits relationship with his new neighbor, and finally starts to heal his heart.

Summary
"Liar" might be Dean Winchester's middle name, but when a case has him going undercover as Castiel's fake husband at a resort offering romantic getaways for couples, and even hyphenating their surnames, it becomes clear to Dean that he's in over his head this time. The problem isn't that Dean doesn't know how to play the part of the angel's besotted spouse, or what pet names suit Cas best. It's that Dean has no clue how he's going to make it look like it's all an act when he harbours very real feelings towards Cas.
Meanwhile, the angel Castiel finds himself at a loss. Neglecting Dean Winchester's safety at all, let alone in the vicinity of one of Hell's most powerful demons, would be an unforgivable mistake. Danger is close enough that Cas can taste it, and the stench of sulfur permeates every inch of the small town. So why can't he stop getting distracted by Dean's warmth?
Evil is closing in on the small town of Northglenn, Colorado, but it feels like the least of Dean and Cas's concerns. How is Dean supposed to focus on saving the world when he's meant to share a bed, and his own clothes, with the angel best friend he's in love with?

Summary
When Dean wakes up, clad in just a pair of boxers, in a bed that is definitely not his, in a room that is definitely not in the bunker, he wrongly assumes that he ended up going home with a stranger. That is, until he realizes Cas is beside him, equally undressed and fast asleep.
What the hell is going on?
