Summary
This is an attempt to bash weird porny a/b/o dynamics fiction over the head with science. Not that anyone asked for it.
So how the hell does a/b/o sex determination work? And why did a trinary sex determination system evolve in higher vertebrates alongside a binary sex determination system? Why aren't omega males dying in droves from massive uterine infections? Alpha females, what's up with that? Come on in and I shall tell you the very best in fake science and evolutionary history.
Part theorizing, part helpful guide. This one goes out to all you people who just want fictional worlds to make sense. I'm right there with you.

Summary
"Hey," Joe says. "You okay?"
"Sure. Yeah." Nicky nods, his gaze is a little distant at first, but then he focuses on Joe. "Just surprised, that's all. Hell, it wouldn't be a wedding without some drama, right?" His grin is very 'Nicky,' but it doesn't quite reach his eyes. "Sadly, this drama probably won't involve blowjobs in a parking lot. Which isn't to say we can't do that for fun." He looks around the room, seeming to notice for the first time where Joe is sitting. He's trying so hard to sweep this all under the rug. "You know, the last time you were in that chair—"
"Nicky." Joe squeezes his shoulder. By now, he recognizes deflection in Nicky's tone, in his eyes. "Now we ask," he says and watches the false cheer drop from Nicky's face. "So I'm asking. Are you okay?"
For a long time, Nicky stares at the wall just past Joe's shoulder. He's still looking at it when Joe slides onto the bed next to him and takes his hand. There's no rush; he can wait.

Summary
Dean has one job: protect the princess. And he’s very good at it. Until Claire disappears in the middle of the night, along with Jack, the prince of the neighbouring kingdom, who everyone expects she’ll marry someday.
Dean’s next step is clear: find Claire and bring her home. But in order to do so, he’ll have to team up with Castiel, Jack’s bodyguard, the most frustrating (and attractive) man Dean knows. As they bicker their way through a sprawling, slightly magical forest, they also confront their own thorny past, leaving Dean with the uncomfortable feeling that maybe he’s been wrong about Castiel all along.

Summary
Twenty years ago, Dean spent a summer in Porto Azzurro, Italy. He was a scrawny thirteen-year-old and totally bowled over by Cas, the blue-eyed boy who lived just outside town with his eccentric aunt.
Now, many failed relationships later, Dean still thinks about Cas sometimes. When he finds an online service that specializes in tracking down lost loved ones, he signs up, figuring it couldn’t hurt to see where Cas lives and how he’s been.
There’s just one complication: his growing bond with another user of the service, Jimmy0918, who has spent years pining after the one that got away.

Summary
Romance and remodeling collide when Castiel, suddenly finding himself single and jobless, accepts a business proposition from his untrustworthy colleague, Crowley.
He finds himself the new owner of Bellbird Valley Farm, an entirely decrepit husk of a building that he has big plans for: Castiel is going to open his own self-sustaining eco-inn.
There are only a few problems… like the feral pig living on the property, the nosy locals, his total lack of DIY skills, and Dean Winchester—the prickly, sarcastic local handyman that Castiel accidentally assaulted with a dildo the moment he got off the train.
An AU based on the movie "Falling Inn Love".
