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
The job was straightforward, as much as a hunt ever is:
Go in, find the people who were kidnapped by the fae, and bring them back. Simple.
The job was immediately screwed, as much as a hunt ever could be:
It wasn't faeries.

Summary
Dean Winchester is a man who used to believe in foolish things: Wishes. Signs. True mates. He’s over all that now. Personal pain and messed-up biology cured him of those.
And then in walks Castiel Novak, alpha extraordinaire, who smells like heaven and throws him into hell.
Cas has always believed in true mates. He knows they exist—his family is full of them. He had his doubts about whether he’d have one himself, due to his biological “gift,” but when he meets Dean Winchester, his omega, it seems that destiny has finally smiled down on him.
Too bad his true mate hates him.
Forced by Dean’s medical complications to be together, Dean and Castiel must learn how to reconcile the past and the present, fate and choice, protection and sacrifice…before it’s too late.

Summary
“Hey, Cas,” prompted Dean from the other end of the couch.
“Hmm?”
“You horny?”
“W-what?”
“Y’heard me.”
“Dean,” said Cas flatly, “I’m a twenty year old gay man. I’m always horny.”
He’d been trying to make a joke, but Dean didn’t laugh. Instead, he lifted one leg and pushed on Cas’s thigh with his socked foot.
“I’m horny,” he said with a conspiratorial smirk.
“So?” chuckled Cas. “Join the club.”
“Well, let’s do somethin’ about it,” replied Dean in a matter-of-fact tone.
Cas wasn’t sure he’d heard right. He looked over at his friend and saw that the guy’s eyes were resting on him heavily. Dean’s foot shoved at him again. “C’mon, Cas,” he said shamelessly, “you like dick. I have a dick. Whaddaya say?”
“I say,” answered Cas, turning back to the television and praying for strength, “that you’re drunk.”
“M’not that drunk.”
“You’re drunk enough to hit on a dude,” chuckled Cas.
“I ain’t hittin’ on you,” corrected Dean, “I’m just sayin’ we could, ya know, help each other out. It don’t gotta be a big deal.”- Language:
