Summary
At thirty-six, Dean Winchester is the Captain of Lawrence Fire Station 24 — respected, decorated, and trusted with lives when everything is burning down. He runs his crew with precision, authority, and gallows humor, the kind of man you want beside you when the smoke gets thick. He has the house. The career. The scars to prove he earned both.
What he doesn’t have is anyone waiting for him when the sirens go quiet.
Dean tries to explain why Castiel doesn’t fit into his life — too quiet, too gentle, too different from anyone he’s ever dated.
Sam, who’s heard every version of this argument before, gently points out the truth Dean keeps avoiding: maybe the problem isn’t Castiel’s differences — maybe it’s that Dean has spent his whole life choosing what’s safe instead of what he actually needs.
And maybe what he needs is someone entirely unfamiliar… even if that scares him.
**
"You've been dating the same type of person your whole life, and where has it gotten you? Alone in a house that's too quiet. You always go for what's easy, what's familiar. But maybe what you need isn't easy. Maybe what you need is different. Maybe what you need is a nerdy beekeeper who talks about feelings."

Summary
Dean Winchester has spent his life hiding, his wants, his hunger, his name. Tonight, he walks into a nameless glory hole club with a fake identity and one rule: no one can ever know.
Castiel Collins has been coming here for eight months, looking for five minutes of relief from being invisible. Tonight, he’s put in a different booth, and finds someone on the other side of the wall who’s shaking like he’s about to fall apart.
What starts as cautious touches and whispered concern turns into the most honest thing either of them has ever known. By the time Dean sobs his real name into the dark, the wall between them feels paper thin.
They never see each other’s faces.
They never break the rules.
They still leave wrecked, claimed, and changed.A raw, explicit, painfully tender glory hole fic about two men finding exactly what they didn’t know they were starving for.

Summary
Dean Winchester walks out of state prison with nothing but the clothes on his back and the ghosts of every mistake he’s ever made. Living under his brother’s roof means rules, curfews, and constant supervision—measures meant to keep him steady, to keep him clean. But loneliness is a dangerous thing, and Dean’s restlessness eventually leads him to the last place he ever thought he’d go: a church.
That’s where he meets Castiel—quiet, widowed, and hiding behind walls no one dares to climb. Dean’s never been good at boundaries, and something in Castiel’s sadness calls to him like a prayer. What begins as hesitant conversation turns into lingering glances, then late-night confessions whispered in the dark.
Dean doesn’t know if Castiel is salvation or sin—only that being near him feels like breathing for the first time. And when friendship starts to blur into something far more dangerous, both men are forced to decide whether love born in brokenness can still be holy.
**
Loneliness brought him to the church. Desire made him stay. Love might just save him.

Summary
Cas is in town to deal with the fledgling unionization that's taking place at the factory. It should be a cut-and-dried case. There shouldn't be any need to return. Definitely not to a dingy diner for a man who's married.
But Dean's husband is awful and Dean is the first person in a long, long time that Cas has wanted to let in.
So once Dean expresses interest, Cas finds his sense of decency crumbling. Even more so when Dean's carefree facade starts cracking whenever the two of them are alone.

Summary
The mirror lies is a raw, intimate contemporary novel about love, recovery, and the silent wars waged inside the body. Set in 2025, it follows Castiel Novak — a quiet, high-achieving teen haunted by an eating disorder he can’t name and feelings he’s never been allowed to voice. Between valedictorian speeches, hospital beds, and hiding behind bathroom doors, Cas is doing everything he can to stay afloat.
Then comes Dean Winchester — rough around the edges, soft where it counts, and the only person who makes Cas feel like he’s allowed to exist. As their relationship deepens, Cas begins the painful work of healing, even as his illness fights for control. But recovery is never linear. Between college stress, toxic comparisons, support group confessions, and late-night relapses, Cas must learn what it means to choose life — over and over again.
Told in first-person and sometimes 3rd with brutal honesty, sharp humor, and deep tenderness, The mirror lies is a story about the scars we carry, the people who stay, and the voice inside you that whispers: you’re still here.

"We don't feel safe with him here, Sam." Charlie murmured, picking at her nails. "He tortured me, he killed -"
"That wasn't Castiel!" Argued Jack.

Summary
Dean didn't regret the choices he made in the past, though that’s not to say he wasn't ashamed of them. The list was endless; an ongoing echo of his conscience bounding right back at him. They all weighed heavily, but there was only a handful that brought about a burning ache to his chest.
Ezekiel, or Sam, was one of them.
Castiel was the other.

Summary
Dean's hard work as the sales and marketing director at Sandover is earning him a tidy living and he's on track to become one of the youngest VPs the company has ever had. And if he just keeps working his ass off, he doesn't have time to think about who he's working so hard for, after Lisa broke up with him and Sam got a life of his own and the family in Sioux Falls is doing just fine. It's a charmed life and it only seems empty if he stops moving.
He runs into a recently-fired single dad at a bar who's trying to drink away his worries. Castiel is frumpy, exhausted, and kind of a jerk. But Dean needs someone to take care of, and Castiel needs any help he can get. It's just a mutually-beneficial arrangement, and nobody needs to talk about their feelings.
Or, how an obnoxious workaholic twenty-something Sugar Daddy and his grumpy DILFy forty-something Sugar Baby fall in love.

Summary
Dean's a lumberjack, so he chops down a lot of trees. Really, he probably should've expected he'd accidentally chop down a tree with a beehive in it at some point, but nothing could've prepared him for a little fairy dude who demands he build a new hive, and even if by chance he was ready for that, he never would've expected to actually start kind of liking the company. Yeah, definitely just the company, not the fairy himself or anything…
