    Summary

    Castiel Novak is a wealthy heir to a thriving fishing company. Money, fine clothes, carriages, and parties—he has everything he could possibly want—except the noble title his demanding father, Charles Novak, craves and the freedom to love whomever he desires within the rigid confines of London's high society.

    One foggy night, Castiel throws himself into the Thames, hoping never to return.

    One foggy night, a mysterious man with golden eyes brings him back to life, and Castiel becomes so obsessed that he doesn't care about dying at the hands of thieves and monsters as long as he finds his savior: Dean Winchester, a handsome sailor with green eyes instead of gold, the only detail that seems to be wrong.

    Summary

    Castiel is a lighthouse keeper in the middle of the ocean, a solitary life he has chosen. What he didn't expect was to find a man washed up on the beach at the foot of the lighthouse, wounded and unconscious. That man, a sailor named Dean, not accustomed to life on land but rather to freedom of a life on the sea, will have to stay and live with that strange lighthouse keeper used to loneliness until the supply boat comes.
    They'll have to live together, with all their differences and similarities. A daily challenge that will become less and less difficult as the days go by, but other difficulties and questions will surface.

    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.

    Summary

    "You've got to be kidding me. " Younger Dean explodes, getting up. "You two can stand here and braid each other's hair, I'm not gonna be a part of this Back to the Future bullshit.”

    And takes off like a hurricane towards the kitchen.

    Dean sighs, rubbing his eyes. Sam and Bobby indeed had the patience of saints.

    "Sorry, man. This whole 'leaving the business and marrying a guy' thing is too much for him." His frown deepens at what Sammy says. How would he- "What? Ya thought I wouldn't notice? You look at that guy like he's the salvation of mankind.”

    -----x-----

    Where they are living their white picket fence life, hunting has been left behind a while ago.

    Until, of course, a 26 year old Dean and a 22 year old Sammy show up at the farmhouse' living room.

    Summary

    At thirty-six, Dean Winchester is the Captain of Lawrence Fire Station 24 — respected, decorated, and trusted with lives when everything is burning down. He runs his crew with precision, authority, and gallows humor, the kind of man you want beside you when the smoke gets thick. He has the house. The career. The scars to prove he earned both.

    What he doesn’t have is anyone waiting for him when the sirens go quiet.

    Dean tries to explain why Castiel doesn’t fit into his life — too quiet, too gentle, too different from anyone he’s ever dated.

    Sam, who’s heard every version of this argument before, gently points out the truth Dean keeps avoiding: maybe the problem isn’t Castiel’s differences — maybe it’s that Dean has spent his whole life choosing what’s safe instead of what he actually needs.

    And maybe what he needs is someone entirely unfamiliar… even if that scares him.

    **

    "You've been dating the same type of person your whole life, and where has it gotten you? Alone in a house that's too quiet. You always go for what's easy, what's familiar. But maybe what you need isn't easy. Maybe what you need is different. Maybe what you need is a nerdy beekeeper who talks about feelings."
