    Summary

    Castiel is heading home from his shop after a bad day, and to top it all off, it's raining. He's hungry and tired, and doesn't notice the dog that races out in front of him until it's too late. Castiel trips and falls to the ground, getting up just as the dog gets hit by a car. When checking on the dog, Castiel realizes, this isn't a dog; it's a familiar. And, Castiel just so happens to be a witch with a soft heart, so he takes him in to help heal him. Over time, he starts to gain the familiar--Dean's-- trust. But what was Dean running from in the first place? What dark past is he hiding? Is Castiel enough to keep Dean safe from the horrors creeping up on him?

    Summary

    In mid-December of 1985, Castiel takes a vacation to his hometown in hopes of having a civil Christmas dinner with his dysfunctional Catholic family. However, things take a dangerous turn when he meets someone new to the neighborhood and gets into a strong relationship that he can't handle.

    I'm no good at summaries.

    Probably slow updates! I try to write when I can.

    Summary

    As a kid, Dean’s dreams were pretty straightforward: food, a roof over his head, and maybe – if he really let himself dream big – a family that wouldn’t kick him out the second he became more trouble than he was worth. College? Not on his radar. Suddenly he’s here, though – on a football scholarship and faced with the possibility that this time he might get to stay.

    For someone more well-adjusted it would be a dream come true. For Dean it’s a nightmare of desperately keeping up appearances while he’s drowning in other people’s expectations.

    At least until a game of Truth or Dare sends him face-first into the arms of Castiel Novak. Senior. Resident (ex-)drug dealer. Obnoxious literature major. Heavily tattooed and everything Dean is trying to leave behind.

    Dean needs a favor and Castiel is all too willing to deliver. Unfortunately the offer comes with strings attached that go well beyond the fake relationship that Castiel asks for in return.

    Summary

    Dean Winchester never wanted this. For seventeen years, he was raised to be an alpha lord, his father's heir. Even when he didn't present at twelve or thirteen like most young alphas, he wasn't really worried. He was well bred, descended from two noble alpha families. Of course he would be an alpha.

    But he wasn't.

    Castiel Milton never wanted a wife. Or a title for that matter, but he wasn't going to leave his family's lands and his sisters' futures in the hands of his vile Uncle Zachariah. When he learned of a clause in his late father's will stipulating that he must marry a noble omega within the year or forfeit his inheritance, Castiel reluctantly embarked upon a search for a woman willing to enter into a loveless, sexless marriage with him.

    Instead he found Dean.
