Summary
The kingdom of Lawrence has been without a crowned ruler since old King Fergus died heirless more than six months ago. Today, after a long wait and exhausting search, the heir apparent is finally arriving—Prince Castiel of Elysia will be crowned the next King of Lawrence, and Sir Dean Winchester, as Knight-Captain of the Kingsguard, will be his right-hand man and a member of his personal guard just as he was to the old king before him.
Only thing is, Dean didn't anticipate how easy it would be to get along with the prince, despite the language barrier between them, nor does he understand exactly why his new sovereign gets under his skin in a way no one else has ever seemed to...

Summary
Dean didn’t expect much when a tattoo shop opened across the street. He definitely didn't expect the heavily tattooed, ridiculously handsome, and sort of awkward owner to become one of his most loyal customers. Between coffee orders and lingering conversations, Dean starts to wonder if maybe they could be more.

Summary
Dean Winchester is Single with a capital S, or Bachelor with a capital B, depending on who you ask.
He likes his style, which is love 'em and leave 'em, but if you catch him at a bad time, he will admit that he misses something more real.
And what's more real than a reality show?

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
It's not been Dean's month. A breakup and a subsequent move across town. A dating app disaster. A phone call from his father he should've known not to answer.
He hides out in a coffee shop with his laptop, hoping to outrun the loneliness, just for a few hours. Instead, he runs into Castiel. Castiel, the quiet guy from high school who isn't supposed to recognize him.
Dean braces himself for awkward questions.
But Cas has something else entirely to say.
