Summary
The constant moving around and general lack of real connections were never great. But being stranded in Lawrence, forced to stay in place until his dad comes for him, is worse. Especially once someone starts hunting him.
Going to the police is in every conceivable way a terrible plan. Accepting personal help from a severely overinvolved cop is quite possibly an even worse one. Above all because Dean is up to his neck in illicit activities and police-related trauma. But maybe, just once, it would be nice to have someone look out for him.

Summary
After months of fruitless searching for John Winchester, Dean and Sam give it up. Sam returns to Stanford, and Dean… Well, Dean is always going to be a hunter. And thankfully, after getting his ass saved by another lifer (a dorky guy in a trenchcoat), he gets to be a hunter for a little bit longer.

Summary
Love stories don’t exist in a bubble, floating high and away from reality, able to grow and mature without the outside world’s influences. It’s simply naive. The strongest, the purest of true love stories survive the worst and thrive in life’s bullshit. Dean Winchester learned the hard way. He would never have guessed the awkward blue-eyed stranger on a bus would brighten his darkest days and define his happily ever after. Battling through his own terrifying diagnosis and his brother Sam’s demons, Dean might drown under the pummeling waves of his harsh reality. Instead he uncovers the strength to break the surface and inhale with a solid hand in his, always.
The light at the end of the tunnel is worth the fight to be reborn.

Summary
Dean Winchester was always destined for the Olympics. Granted, his dad had hoped for a traditionally masculine sport, but as figure skating goes, Dean lifting and twirling a (female) partner across the ice is as close as it gets.
It’s also as close as Dean is gonna get to the things he privately hungers for. He gets to skate. He gets to compete on an international level. He even gets to be out as bisexual. So what if he doesn’t get to be the one soaring over the ice from a partner’s hands? It’s like a compromise. Or like having a brownie that’s made from black beans. It’s better than nothing, even if it doesn’t exactly get you all the way there.
But then rules change and all that’s missing is a certain Olympic champion with dreams of his own.

Summary
When Dean Winchester had to stop hunting with his brother for a while to be treated in Waverly Hills tuberculosis sanatorium, he wasn't expecting to meet someone who fought the same creatures as him. It turned out his doctor, Castiel Novak, was also a Man of Letters. And he was also going to become so much more for Dean...
