Summary
It has been eleven days since Castiel has died, and Dean discovers the love letters addressed to him.
---
"The coat is on the back of the chair where he put it. It will be there when he wakes, if he sleeps, and it will be there when he finally folds the letter and places it back in the pocket where he found it, and it will be there the morning after that and the morning after that, which is the thing about objects, the thing the watching had perhaps not fully understood when it put them in the story.
They stay.
The angel is gone from every universe the watching has the heart to look at.
But the coat is here.
And the man keeps reaching for it, and stopping, and reaching, which is, the watching thinks, with something it has no good name for, something that lives in the narrow country between guilt and grief,
the most human thing I ever made him do. -

Summary
Continuation of the fic ‘Acclaimed’. As an Alpha, Castiel is supposed to have his truemate’s name appear as a tattoo on his chest on his birthday, the year they are going to meet. Fate was going to bring them together, for a whole year, so that the alpha could woo his omega. It was all going to be very magical and romantic, except for Castiel it (a) doesn’t happen until he’s freaking 40, (b) happens with a strangely behaving jogger in Central Park and (c) he ends up with the name of Dean Winchester, movie action hero, on his chest. Dean only ever plays alphas, he lives in Hollywood, he has no interest in dating small town cops right? So Castiel should just give up his claim right?

Summary
Dean Winchester is a respected literature teacher at Lawrence's best private school, yet he feels like he's still a complete and utter travesty of a human being. Months after his father's death, he's yet to come to terms with the negative impact John Winchester had on his life. Though he's determined never to admit it, the only thing Dean's ever wanted was an Apple Pie Life: it's something that's been dangled in front of his face, though he's certain he could never deserve it.
While Dean struggles to come to terms with the isolated, lonely life he's made for himself, a disruption comes in the form of Castiel Novak, Lawrence Private's newest faculty member. Those blue eyes and raspy voice are things Dean can't ignore for long, and when he's forced to stop fighting his affections, Dean finds his lonely life turned upside down.
Is it possible he could deserve an Apple Pie Life after all?

Summary
Castiel doesn’t know where the runaway in Dean has gone, but he’s not sure that man exists anymore. The omega in his backseat has been badly broken. He hasn’t said a word to Castiel; hasn’t protested aside from flinching, hasn’t even pleaded to be spared. He’s just… empty. Tired. Castiel can smell layers of fear, sour and old on the omega’s skin, an emotion so often felt that it’s now a permanent stain on his scent. He can only begin to imagine what Dean has been through to put him in this state of apathy.
At sixteen years old, Dean Winchester signed away his life in order to protect what he loves most. He's spent the last eleven years as the property of various alphas, each crueler than the last. Purchased by a new master that promises him nothing but safety, his life is about to dramatically change - and with any luck, it will be for the better.Series

Summary
Suddenly, there was a small set of arms wrapped like a vice around the base of his leg.
Oh dear—
“Those are your screams?” the little lady asked, her singular, wide eye fixed on him now in wonder. The rag abandoned a few paced behind her.
“Why not precisely my screams, dear. More the screams of the wayward souls who dare to cross me… And i’d desire you to unhand me if you value your—”
The grip on him tightened.
The tiny woman clinging to his leg was now beaming. “You’re the bad boy!”
“The what now—?”
