Summary
Castiel Novak is relatively happy living his solitary life as a Starbucks Barista. He lives alone with a cat named Hamburger, and he has one (1) emotional support friend, Gabriel.
Unfortunately, he is plagued by the fact that some guy (see: a random hot dude named 'Dean') is giving out Castiel's phone number as his own. And he's been doing it for months.
So, of course, when Castiel's at work and a hot stranger gives him his own phone number for the Starbucks Rewards Program... well... it doesn't go well.

Summary
Castiel liked quiet. He liked predictable. You could probably call him boring and not be wrong, but Cas didn't care. He was happy that way.
Until one day, his street got torn up as a construction crew moved in, loud and persistent and, as far as Cas was concerned, specifically sent to ruin his life. Especially one construction worker who seemed to take that job personally.
Dean had to be boring. He had to be quiet, predictable, and boring. Because those were the pillars of stability.
With a bipolar diagnosis and the baggage of everything he blew up on the road to getting it, he knew better than to take the little things for granted.Then, a regular job on a regular street brought C. Novak into his life. C. Novak, who was rude, infuriating, and, unfortunately, smoking hot.
Cas and Dean both had to learn to make room for things that mattered, even if they weren't little joys. Even if they could be disruptive. And annoying. And they had to learn to navigate the room that was made for them.
Somehow, between the arguments and minor freak-outs, they both had to learn how to make space for something bigger than routine.

Summary
Dean Winchester is divorced, emotionally constipated, and way behind on the deadline for his next book. Naturally, the solution is to install a hyper-intelligent, slightly smug OS named Castiel to help whip his life into shape.
Cas is efficient. Supportive. And kind of charming, in a weird way.. Also? Unreasonably flirty for someone who lives in a hard drive somewhere.
Dean's not falling for him. He's just.. lonely.
So, why does Castiel feel like the only real thing in Dean's life?

Summary
When Castiel starts school at South Kansas University, he somehow gets it in his head that it’s a good idea to join a fraternity. Okay, so maybe he was slightly motivated by the handsome guy with freckles he’d seen at the sign up table. And maybe he thinks it’s kinda hot when that guy tells him what to do, even if it’s a bit embarrassing.
Where Cas signs up for a fraternity and Dean’s in charge of his hazing for pledge week.

Summary
Anna looks at him sympathetically from her spot beside him. “You guys were just kids,” she murmurs, and the pity in her voice irks Castiel.
“Yes, we were. And look how that turned out. I’m 28 years old and already divorced.” He wishes he didn’t sound so bitter. It would help, maybe, if he felt less like a giant cliché, a walking billboard that said Don’t Marry Your High School Sweetheart!

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.

Summary
Dean's a mer-dude (shut up, Sam, that's totally a word) who lives on the edge of the reef, far away from the mer-colony. He's not lonely: the hunting's better, he doesn't end up confused by anyone else's echolocating song, and he's got the cutest little clutch of clownfish as watch-fish for his ledge.
And he's got Cas. Who might not be a mer, but he's something even better: a cecaelia, with eight clever octopus legs and an obsession with making sure that Dean gets to try all the treats the reef can offer.
(Dean pays him back by teaching him to kiss. Cas never fails to collect.)
Bobby claims that cecaelias don't mate. That they don't bond. That they don't form families. But that old sand dollar can mind his own business: Cas and Dean are just having a good time and clouding up the water together, after all.
Right?
