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...

Team Free Will is hot on the trail of a body-dropping coven of witches, but when they finally locate their den, all that's left is an abandoned building.

Summary
Dean wakes up one day to find himself living a happy, apple-pie life with Cas, with no clue of how he got there, and no idea how to get back to his own reality. Just when he finally accepts that he might be stuck there, and that maybe being stuck doing life with Cas is what he might actually want, Dean is dragged back to real life only to discover it was all just a djinn-induced dream.
Having gotten a taste of what life with Cas could really be like, Dean can't cope with their 'just friends' status anymore, but he doesn't know how to approach Cas about it, especially since the former-angel has been unusually standoffish and reserved these last few months.
Will Dean find a way to confess his feelings and go after the one thing he really wants?

Summary
For the last decade or so, Dean had existed with a secondary presence in his mind. A connection. It lived at the base of his skull, just a little glowing pulse. He knew though, before he really even understood, exactly what the presence was; it was Cas. It was his imprint on Dean’s soul. It was their more profound bond. It was everything between them he couldn’t allow himself to think about.
