When Jared meets Jensen Ackles, owner of The Open Road Casino, he is prepared to hate the man who took his father’s offer and now essentially owns him for the next six months. Jensen is rumored to be one of the most cold-hearted men in the gambling business. But Jared soon learns that appearances can be deceiving.

Summary
This is your typical rom-com. Jared is a cowboy through and through - a Fort Worth, Texas native who owns a saloon at the Stockyards alongside his friend Chad. Jared leads a quiet life between managing the bar and his physical issues, which he downplays more often than not. One of Jared’s passions is to play piano, and he spends his evenings at the apartment that he shares with no one, trying to get past his limitations so he can keep creating music. Eventually, a new neighbor moves to the apartment next door, and he’s the opposite of Jared: from the big city on the other side of the airport, polished, with a serious, nine-to-five job.
Jensen is wine where Jared is water, and yet Jensen feels enchanted at first sight. Both by the beautiful melody filtering through his window and the charming cowboy responsible for it. It seems easy as breathing for them to fall in love and create a story together, like a nice, old “opposites attract” trope. Isn’t it?

Summary
Comments locked for the moment. Someone commented that this story was ‘icky’ and I am feeling just too damn vulnerable to be dealing with that shit.
_____
His family pack has asked for very little out of Castiel over the years, but now Pack Alpha Michael is requiring Castiel to make an arranged marriage with Dean Winchester, to advance a business deal between the Eden Overpack and the suddenly wealthy Winchester Pack. Castiel obeys but not in good faith.
Castiel thinks he manages Dean’s expectations very well- he explains that other than conceiving a son together, they will lead separate lives. He might take a lover, he thinks he encourages Dean to do the same. Dean, on the other hand, enters the union in good faith and finds himself ignored, humiliated and neglected at every turn. Then one horrible heat he comes seeking Castiel out for relief, only to see Castiel in bed with his co-worker Hannah.
Warning- Castiel starts out as a pretty terrible person. I believe he redeems himself by the end.
