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
Cas Milton is a normal college student. About to start his senior year at the University of Kansas, he’s spending his summer days working at a local coffee shop, playing with his cat, and reading. He’s also crushing on his coworker, Dean, who drives a big black pickup truck and has a big friendly personality to go with it.
Castiel Novak is a runaway. One of the heirs to the notorious Novak family crime dynasty that has wreaked havoc and made riches on the Las Vegas strip, at seventeen he disappeared into the night, never to be seen again. Rumor has it he changed his name and went to college instead of working a casino floor like his father, but those rumors have never been proven.
Until this summer, when one of Castiel’s brothers shows up at Cas’s door.

Summary
The night John Winchester dies, Dean drives aimlessly through the city until he finds himself stopping at a bookstore he’s never noticed before. He doesn’t know why he stops. He doesn’t know why he goes inside.
The place is warm and inviting, even if the shopkeeper is a little robotic. While browsing the shelves, Dean finds surreal books like histories where the Titanic never sank and JFK was never assassinated.
And then he finds his shelf: rows of books bearing his name. Some are pasts he never lived. Others are futures he never could have dreamed. All of them are impossible lives. The shopkeeper tells him the only way to leave is to choose one. When Dean refuses, the bookstore turns against him, plunging him into a nightmare with only one way out: choose.
What does free will mean in a place like this? And what happens to those who refuse to choose?

Summary
A humdrum hunt gets a helluva lot more interesting when Cas and Dean pose as husbands at a country club. It's awesome, Dean finally has a safe way to find out if Cas might be interested in, y'know, more than friendship. Hey, what could happen if Dean gets honest and actually shoots his shot? Phew, man.... A lot. A lot can happen.

Summary
Life in the Roman Empire can be hard, especially for two men living together, neither daring to reach for more - or even aware that more is possible. Dean and Cas may not have much, but they have enough to get by: odd jobs, herbs from the garden, a filling meal, and a warm bed most nights.
But when two strangers arrive in search of shelter, the cost and the power of true hospitality may prove greater than they ever imagined.
(A reimagining of Ovid’s Baucis and Philemon.)
