Summary
Dean Winchester is a top-notch horse trainer. He’s worked on the family horse ranch since he was big enough to sit a horse. The people around town smile fondly at his “ways” like eating the same breakfast at Missouri’s diner, paying cash, having his bestie Charlie do his books and pay the bills. He doesn’t answer text messages: “Just call me, dammit.” Sam criticizes him, but he shrugs and says “if it ain’t broke, don’t break it.”
Cas Novak has a Ph.D. in Speech/Language Pathology, and has spent much of his sabbatical year writing his “publish or perish” book. Still reeling from a nasty divorce that raked up his shameful past, Cas is looking for a peaceful, quiet place to edit his book, and maybe heal old wounds. A student from one of his online seminars, Eileen Leahy-Winchester, offers her brother-in-law Dean’s cabin, because it’s a “really peaceful place, Cas.”
As Dean and Cas grow closer, Cas begins to suspect that Dean’s “ways” may be hiding a painful secret. In turn, Dean suspects that Cas may have a big secret of his own. When a dangerous storm threatens Dean’s most cherished horse, his secret is exposed. But can Cas overcome his own shame to help Dean, and will Dean let him?

Summary
In Edwin’s defence, it had never come up.
Then again, the matter of ghosts’ permanent end was not exactly something you slipped into casual conversation. Most would not know enough to ask in the first place – because surely there was no end more permanent than Death.
Was there?Or: A string of spectral suicides leaves the agency grasping for answers. But there’s something Edwin’s forgot to tell them…

Summary
“Thanks,” Charles said, quietly.
“It’s just a shirt,” Edwin muttered, though it wasn’t really what he meant.
He ducked his head, suddenly unable to stand the sight at all: Charles, with exhaustion written into the cut-glass lines of his features and pain in the stiffness of his back and still he managed to look at Edwin with gratitude for handing over a fucking t-shirt.
Something was burning inside him, deep in the recesses of his chest, something protective and furious, that made him want to wrap Charles up in his arms - and in a t-shirt and his maroon jacket with the red plaid lining and his new black coat with its steadily-growing collection of lapel pins and maybe a blanket on top of that, and bundle him away somewhere that he would never be cold or hurt again. Somewhere Charles could be safe; maybe somewhere they both could.
-devastating domestic au strikes again: the boys are alive together late 90s/early 2000s, they talk in circles around trauma, go to a party, fight off the horrors to protect each other, and Edwin comes up with the plan
