    Summary

    Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak used to be inseparable. Not just high school best friends, but the kind of soul-deep, ride-or-die connection fueled through their mutual love for music that felt like it could outlast anything. Near the end of their senior year, though, something happened that irrevocably broke them apart.

    Ten years later, Dean owns a cozy little record store in downtown Lawrence, Kansas, has a dog he'd die for, and hasn't seen or heard from Cas since graduation. He’s made peace with the silence. Or so he thinks, until a familiar figure moves into the long-vacant house across the street.

    Castiel Novak has spent the last ten years flying standby and building a life he can live with. It's not glamorous, but it's stable: quiet nights, early flights, and a cat who doesn’t ask too many questions. When he moves back to his hometown to be closer to family, he’s not expecting the past to be waiting for him at the end of the driveway.

    Especially not in the shape of Dean Winchester.
