    Summary

    Though they both move in the highest circles of London society, the Duke of Milton and Viscount Winchester have never met-- until the day of their best friends’ wedding. The spark of attraction between them is undeniable, but both are determined bachelors. When a second encounter leads to unexpected consequences, there is only one solution: they must pretend to be betrothed in order to avoid scandal, then quietly break the engagement once some new piece of gossip arises.

    In the meantime, they’ll have to play the part convincingly enough to fool all of London into believing in their romance. But somewhere along the way, the line between act and actuality becomes blurred, leaving them both wondering if this was the worst idea they’ve ever had-- or the best.

    Summary

    Dean can’t help it. Castiel’s laugh is infectious, washing over him and sweeping him up in its tide. His throat and stomach ache with the feel of it, unfamiliar muscles worked past their endurance. He hasn’t laughed like this in weeks, maybe years.

    Cas doesn’t stop laughing, and Dean relishes it. It’s such a good sound, deep and throaty. It rumbles over him the same way that Baby’s engine purrs, to where he can almost feel it in his gut. Dean’s giddy, the kind of happy that hunters don’t get to feel, and if it weren’t for the ceiling, he thinks he might float away. Cas’ eyes crinkle when he laughs, and his smile goes wide and gummy. He’s so brilliant, so alive—

    But you’re dead, Dean thinks helplessly. But you’re dead.

     

    ---

    Castiel Novak is one of the best hunters Dean Winchester has ever worked with. He's witty, whip-smart, and has enough knowledge about the supernatural to rival an encyclopedia. He's got humor dry enough to put the Sahara to shame and he's pretty easy on the eyes as well. All in all, he's the best partner Dean could have hoped for.

    Too bad he's dead.

    Summary

    “I think we should have a garden,” Cas says.

    Dean looks up from his beer. He hasn’t had that much to drink, but Cas still has a vague look of unreality about him, a splash of living color that doesn’t fit in the bunker’s echoing stillness. Dean didn’t hear him coming. A lot of the time, Cas is so unobtrusive it feels like Dean has the bunker to himself, with Sam away.

    Dean shakes his head to clear it. “A — garden?” he repeats.

    Summary

    Dean Winchester has his whole life planned out. Becoming a warrior is all he’s ever dreamed about, since he was tiny - saving people, hunting monsters; quests and deeds and swords and glory. He’s done his training and he’s ready to become a Savaşçı, a knight of the realm. All that stands in his way is the Vigil, a night-long contemplation of his past and future in the chapel just outside the city walls. The only rules: no eating, no speaking, and no opening the door.

    Easy, right?

    Very easy. Until there’s a knocking, and a voice from outside that pleads for his help…

    So begins Dean’s journey, and his path will take him far - across the desert, through the forests, over the mountains and beyond. But his mysterious blue-eyed companion is keeping secrets, and Dean has a few of his own. Will he be able to let go of his fear before they come to the Castle on a Cloud?
