Summary
I used to write poems whenever someone caught my eye (they were generally more erotic than this). And I would give them away as part of my flirtation (100% success rate, as far as I remember... shoulda kept copies, for... posterity).
Not sure if this poem is a sign I'm getting old, or simply more mature.

Summary
When angels appeared on Earth, the first thing humans did was use them as weapons against each other, causing the Great War and the Pale, a strange, misty substance that fractures the planet into pieces of isolated matter.
A century later, Castiel is an outcast among his fellow angels and humans alike. The only human who will befriend him is Dean, a handyman at the office where they both work. Together, they discover the existence of a Pale Spot that threatens to devour all reality around, and the love they feel for each other just might be the key to stopping it.

Summary
Dean has spent most of his life drifting between one-horse towns, drowning himself in short-lived pleasures and the certainty that no one ever stays.
Until he finds himself with a bullet buried in the gut, deep in a desert that the locals claim is cursed - that once you go in, you don’t come back out.
He’s saved from bleeding out by a handsome stranger, but as they trek through the inhospitable wilderness together, it turns out that the only thing worse than being stuck in the desert alone, might be to be trapped there with someone you can’t trust.

Summary
164 years after the expulsion of the angels from the Seraphim Garden, Dean Winchester has made it his personal mission to destroy every last one of them in any way he can, starting by evacuating the most fragile of their future followers.
The children.
But when a mission goes wrong and Sammy is kidnapped, Dean finds himself at the gates of the legend garden, then inside its walls, once said to kill anyone who comes near enough to know where they are.
As Dean comes to explore his new prison, and gets to know the Angel keeper, he finds that maybe not all angels are quite so wicked.
Will Dean find his way out if this cursed sanctum? Or will it kill him before he gets the chance?
Maybe he'll discover it’s not so cursed at all?

Summary
After the death of his son, there is nothing left for Dean other than his garden market. His days are tough, the nights are tougher, but at least there's a reason to get up in the morning. And with the new boom on do-it-yourself garden magic, his business is going okay.
Amidst the passing of time, there is only one thing that distracts him from functioning like a normal human being: Diagonally across the street, in the display window of that traditional Herb and Potion shop, plants are dying in masses.
Storming in to confront the owner goes differently than he imagined, though. Castiel Novak may be the kind of guy who wears old-fashioned mage robes and keeps his shop in sweltering heat, but he's also a talented herbalist, the kindest soul Dean has ever met, and utterly beautiful.
Not that Dean is ready for anything other than friendship.
(Not that Cas doesn’t get sick a bit too often.)

Summary
Castiel is a shapeshifter, haunted by his mother’s murder and terrified of becoming a monster himself. Survival means pretending, and he’s learned to be anyone but himself until the night he meets Dean Winchester.
Dean is a hunter, raised to follow his father’s orders and become whatever the job demands. He doesn’t know who he is when he’s not performing, until he meets someone he calls “Blue”.
What begins as a quest for revenge turns into something else: the collision of two men hiding from the world, each desperate and terrified to be seen beneath their disguises.
