Summary
Once upon a time, there was a green-eyed prince, locked away in a tower of monsters for the sin of refusing his angelic betrothed.
Once upon a time, there was a blue-eyed wizard who had erred, and in doing so had lost, and lost, and lost, until he had little left to lose.
Once upon a time, there was a Princess of Mondoor, cursed to live as a red dragon. Or perhaps she was a red dragon who had been born in the shape of a Princess of Mondoor. Hard to say.
These were all separate stories.
Until they weren’t.

Summary
A desperate prayer from another plane of existence manages to break through to Castiel while on a hunt. A feat that takes an inordinate amount of spellwork, compounded by the fact that his husband had awoken, a few days earlier, from a disturbing dream about the realm, leaves Castiel on edge and concerned for the friends they left behind over a year ago.
This is the story of the angel Castiel, and two brothers, Dean and Sam Winchester, finding themselves back in Limbo a year after, what Sam likes to call, the “Destiel” bonding ceremony.

Summary
The bunker is full of dusty old artifacts. Only now that Chuck is out of the picture once and for all, and Cas is fully restored from the empty and in his first days of adjusting to humanity in Dean’s debatable care, does Sam really have a chance to start sorting through it all. The ornate little box he finds feels like the perfect gift for Eileen, but he both wants Cas to feel included and needed, and really wants a strong second opinion on anything in the bunker being safe to give anyone as a gift.
Cas declares it a perfectly normal box, until Dean reaches out to give it his own inspection, triggering a spell that will pull them through their own history and open a door to allow them the time and space to settle all the open questions between them.
Meanwhile back in the bunker, once the explosion of light resolves, Sam is left with a slightly radioactive looking box and the sinking terror that Dean and Cas had been cursed all because of him.
A little trip down memory lane, Supernatural style, ensues.

Summary
Castiel has been Dean's college roommate since freshman year and his best friend for just as long—not that Dean is going to admit that out loud. When Castiel tells Dean that his parents set him up on a blind date over spring break, Dean suggests finding someone else to pretend to be his date to get his parents off his back. Dean didn't mean to volunteer, but seriously what could go wrong?
He had nothing better to do anyway with his kid brother too busy making goo-goo eyes at his new girlfriend and his unofficial uncle/adoptive dad off on a long haul. Besides, it's a free vacation to Martha's Vineyard... wherever the hell that is.
The closer together they're pushed by their fake relationship, the more confusing Dean's feelings become. There are secrets Castiel kept from him and after a bombshell gets dropped on Dean, he realizes, maybe there were secrets he was keeping from himself.

Summary
Dean Winchester always swore that the only way he’d willingly go for a run was if zombies were chasing him. Now, over a year after the dead stopped staying dead and started chowing down on the living, those words are biting him in the ass. Well, better his words do it than an actual zombie, he figures.
It’s no life of leisure, but it’s certainly better than it could be. New Lebanon has decent zombie-proof security, military protection, and plenty of food and other necessities, along with even a few luxuries. The settlement’s Runners, of which group Dean and his brother Sam are reliable members, are to thank for that: heading out every day into the undead-infested countryside and abandoned towns in search of whatever the town needs. Sprinting from death on a regular basis might not fit the definition of “boring,” but Dean’s adjusted enough to appreciate the smaller sense of routine and predictability. That is, until one day when his radio headset, rather than picking up the voice of his handler, suddenly starts receiving an aberrant transmission from a mysterious, gravel-voiced stranger. Dean can’t resist his growing fixation on the unknown man, and he’s determined to track him down and rescue him, no matter what.

Summary
Twenty-three years of head-over-heels, devastating devotion and love, love, love for the man with bright eyes and dark hair. Fourteen years of friends, best friends, of always together. One moment of rejection.
Nine years of apart. Nine years of heartbreak, nine years of continents away, of not speaking, of no acknowledgement, no interaction, no closure, no peace. No happiness. Nine years of Dean’s life entering motions, going through them, constant, cold and mechanic, like clockwork. Nine years of alone.
God. Nine years. A lot has changed. And yet Dean still loves Cas just the same. Even if his heart hurts all kinds of different.
On the day of Jimmy Novak's funeral, Dean sees Cas for the first time in nine years. He adored Castiel the moment he met him, at only four years old. But after fourteen years of friendship destroyed by one moment of heartbreak, and after nine years of silence, Dean is convinced Cas will want nothing to do with him. And it's killing him.

Summary
“Sam also suggested we might find some assistance nearby,” Cas said, now that he seemed sure that Dean was at least considering the mission. “A couple of retired hunters you helped once?”
“Jesse and Cesar?” Dean asked, and Cas nodded. “Yeah, they got out of hunting a few years back, started a horse ranch. I wouldn’t drag them back for an actual hunt, but exploring a cave doesn’t sound too bad.”
“Their ranch isn’t far from the capitulum’s coordinates, and since there’s no road to our destination, Sam thought rather than hike through the desert it would be easier to tackle the journey on horseback. Especially if we find anything that needs to be brought out again.”
Dean wondered for a second if his entire body was glowing, because even the thought of seeing Cas on horseback— especially if he could convince Cas to get himself a decent pair of boots and a better hat than the one he picked up at that motel gift shop that one time— well... Dean had to beat those thoughts down enough to be able to speak again. He cleared his throat and tried to sound normal, and probably failed.
“Yeah, well, I guess I should give the guys a call and see if they’re open to a visit.”

Summary
Castiel is fine with his life. Really, he is. He’s content with the locals and his prying, if well-meaning, business partner and brother. Everything is just... fine. That’s how he likes it—plain and uneventful.
Until Gabriel hires Dean Winchester to work at the cafe and, suddenly, Castiel's carefully crafted isolation is broken apart like the waves that stole his mother from him, and Castiel hates him for it.
He hates Dean’s attitude—hates his car and his stupidly pretty face with that permanent smirk. He just... hates Dean Winchester.
Until he doesn’t.
Until, somehow, Dean manages to weasel his way into Castiel’s heart and take up permanent residence there. Then Castiel isn’t fine—he’s far from it, actually. He’s great—wonderful and perfect and happy.
But things change—nothing is ever-present—and this loss might kill him. It might just tear Castiel apart. After all, how do you lose something you’ve been searching for your whole life, and survive it? How do you do that?
Castiel doesn’t think he can.
This is a story about coming home. About love, loss, and what it truly means to find shelter in a storm.

Summary
For Dean Winchester, it’s hard being stuck in the closet. Especially when he didn’t even know he was there in the first place. It gets a lot harder when his new neighbor seems determined to be in there with him. Literally.
Castiel is scared of the tornadoes that torment their town. Due to his newfound fear— and his top floor apartment— it isn't long before he ends up making his way to the ground floor to ask for refuge from the storm. It doesn't seem to matter to him how embarrassing the whole thing is to his brother, Gabriel, or how weird it might be for their downstairs neighbors, Dean and Sam.

Summary
Dean's never seen himself as a particularly optimistic person.
But even if he had. He thinks he'd have had trouble feeling overly positive about his new owner. A thirty-year old weirdo, some lonely alpha shut inside a malfunctioning lighthouse like it's his own personal fortress. Plus, the kindhearted captain, reluctant to bring him up. The people in town, who don't see much of him.
Dean, about to be thrown to the wolves.

Summary
There's no place like home. This was a line Castiel used to know by heart when he was a kid, watching The Wizard of Oz and believing fairytales were real.
At thirty-one years old, he isn't a kid anymore, and it has been twelve years since he has known what home feels like. Twelve years. That's when his world had come crashing down and he had left his hometown, Holly Springs, with the broken pieces of what he once was to build a new life in San Francisco.
But as circumstances force him to come back to the only place he swore he would never return to, Castiel is finally forced to face everything he once knew and loved. Especially when said everything is made of spring-green eyes and a stardust of freckles, wrapped in all the memories Castiel was not able to erase from his heart.
After twelve years, Dean is as mesmerizing as Castiel remembers, but the scars of what was broken still run as deeply as the marrow of his bones, and Castiel will do everything he can to protect himself. After all, his favorite movie also taught him that 'until hearts can be made unbreakable,' he can’t listen to his own.
