Summary
Castiel hasn't done much preparation for the trip, too focused on ensuring Jack will be safe and well taken care of while he's away. Gabriel, he assumes, did even less to prepare for a week in the wilderness judging by the way his brother lounges in his canoe, paddle nowhere in sight. Sam looks a bit peeved, but is professional enough to keep his mouth shut.
Castiel had expected that Maine would be green, he's seen the brochures and heard it touted as ‘vacationland’ by coworkers who summered with the wealthy on the coast, but he hadn't thought that the Allagash Wilderness Waterway would be any different than Central Park, albeit a version that went on for miles.
He feels like he's just woken up, that every day before this one in gray, sterile offices and penthouses was just a dream.
The woods go on for miles in every direction, the water is cool and clear, there's grime under his nails, sweat beading down his spine, and when he turns around from his seat in the front of their canoe to see Dean's sparkling smile he feels a pull he cannot deny.
He's really not prepared for any of this at all.

Summary
Dean's dreamed of a beach vacation for years, though he pictured something more tropical than frigid New England waters. That's just the start of his problems: Sam's bailed before the trip even began, the only reason they're going to the beach in the first place is because two grocery store lobsters are pissed at him, and Cas - who's pulling some sort of deranged Disney princess thing - has decided that's his problem, and on top of all that Dean's starting to think maybe Provincetown is just a little more colorful than your typical beach town.

Summary
When Claire and Kaia decide that maybe they're not quite ready to tie the knot at a tacky Vegas chapel they feel trapped by the venues contract and cancellation fees. No problem, another couple can step in and get hitched in their stead. Except Cas self sacrifices himself all the way up to that altar, and what? Dean is going to force Donna or Eileen or Sam to marry Cas when he can be a good friend and take care of that himself? No, if someone has to marry Cas he'll be the one to do that.
Cas has some stipulations for marrying Dean. Demands too.
Viva Las Vegas! The Gambling Hearts Wedding Chapel is open for business! If you're looking for a reason to say 'I Do', this is the neon sign you've been looking for!
Quick weddings offered - NO REFUNDS, cancellation fees apply

Summary
It's been a month since Castiel was retrieved from the Empty, and Sam's enjoying the peace, though everyone has been relaxing into retirement in their own ways. Castiel and Dean have chosen to hot box the Impala and interrupt Sam and Eileen's movie night. Luckily none of them are going to have any weird reactions to the documentary on bird courtship dances.
Right?

Summary
As a straight man, Ilya Rozanov has never had a gay roommate before, but it’s going pretty well. Shane Hollander is kind, silly, and an even bigger hockey nut than Ilya.
So when Shane starts bringing men over, and Ilya begins to want to bash their fucking heads in, Ilya comes to a startling conclusion: He must be homophobic.
(He’s jealous.)

Summary
As soon as Ilya realizes that he has to kill himself, his brain immediately latches onto one indisputable fact: someone is going to have to find his body. There is no way around that, but not even the premature guilt for whoever has the unpleasant task is enough to talk him out of it, anymore.
If he hadn’t ghosted Galina, she’d probably tell him that he cares so much about it because of his own experience finding his mother. She’d also probably tell him that the fact that losing Shane Hollander is enough to make him kill himself means that he’s got a long, nonoptional date with a padded room clogging up his calendar for the foreseeable future. She already has a lot of fucking opinions about Shane and their fucked up situation, and Ilya really is fucking sick of hearing about it because he will not let her ruin the one good fucking thing he has.
Had.

Shane Hollander is a (checks leaked texts) freak by Riekawrites

Summary
Shane no longer hides that he's texting with a guy. It is a badly kept secret that he is gay, and all the important people know already (his family, friends, and his team). So he doesn't delete all the evidence anymore, just the messages that make it clear he is dating Ilya Rozanov.
And now everyone can read his sexts with his boyfriend.
Set somewhere between Shane coming out to his team, before Hayden knows Lily=Ilya, this is a (twitter) reaction fic! (no need to read the first two installments).
OR: Shane Hollander's sexts and sappy texts with Lily get leaked, twitter reacts.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov has been drafted by Boston, the number one pick overall, but his father doesn't want him moving to America and so takes steps to block his visa. He's going to have to go back to Russia and stay there forever and that, thinks Shane Hollander, is wrong.
It's so wrong that Shane can't stop himself from doing something about it. Even though that something is the most reckless, the only reckless thing he's ever done in his life. He marries Rozanov in secret, to keep him out of Russia and put him on a path to Canadian citizenship.
Shane's got a five-year plan to get him there and when you have a plan nothing can go wrong. Right? Right. When you have a solid plan and a marriage that's on paper only there's no risk of feelings getting involved. Not on Rozanov's part and certainly not on Shane's.
Right???
(or, the story of how Shane Hollander fell in love with his own husband)
