    “It's subjunctive history. You know, the subjunctive? The mood used when something may or may not have happened. When it is imagined.”

    Summary

    It’s a question of biology. Vulcan biology.

    The problem with falling in love with a member of an insanely private species is that it just might take you the best part of a five year mission to work out that the feelings are requited. And then you might discover that he’s already decided that the two of you can never be together.

    And what are you supposed to do if he won’t tell you why?

    Summary

    Castiel is fine with his life. Really, he is. He’s content with the locals and his prying, if well-meaning, business partner and brother. Everything is just... fine. That’s how he likes it—plain and uneventful.

    Until Gabriel hires Dean Winchester to work at the cafe and, suddenly, Castiel's carefully crafted isolation is broken apart like the waves that stole his mother from him, and Castiel hates him for it.

    He hates Dean’s attitude—hates his car and his stupidly pretty face with that permanent smirk. He just... hates Dean Winchester.

    Until he doesn’t.

    Until, somehow, Dean manages to weasel his way into Castiel’s heart and take up permanent residence there. Then Castiel isn’t fine—he’s far from it, actually. He’s great—wonderful and perfect and happy.

    But things change—nothing is ever-present—and this loss might kill him. It might just tear Castiel apart. After all, how do you lose something you’ve been searching for your whole life, and survive it? How do you do that?

    Castiel doesn’t think he can.

     

    This is a story about coming home. About love, loss, and what it truly means to find shelter in a storm.
