    Summary

    Dean Winchester was an idiot. It was a fact he had to accept. He had hurt Castiel, bad. Another fact. And he had to make things right. He missed his best friend, couldn't take not having him in his life. Especially not once Dean realized he was in fact in love with Cas, no matter how in denial he had been. But Cas seemed to have moved on from him, and that stung hard. Was he too late?

    Summary

    Castiel sees his a coworker on a dating app and swipes left to avoid humiliation. Months later, a stray comment outs him to the same coworker, Dean Winchester.

    As misunderstandings pile up and avoidance becomes its own kind of harm, Castiel is left asking: how much of the life he’s built is peace and how much of it is just practice at staying unseen?

    Summary

    When Dean and his parents moved back to Lawrence Kansas, he didn't expect to fall in love with the quiet boy hidden in the art class, painting pictures only in shades of blue and gray, fingertips perpetually stained with blue paint and nicotine, his black hair speckled with gray ink from the skies he captured on canvas.

    Castiel was drowning in his father's expectations and his own self-destruction. Drowning on pills to silence the thoughts, cigarettes to steady his hands and on his art while trying to make sense of a world that told him he was a sin.

    And Dean was running from his own self, hiding behind leather jackets and easy smiles, behind girls and popularity, playing a safer role of being what everyone expected of him.

    When their worlds crashed in that smoke-filled art room, they had to choose: keep hiding in shades of gray and blue, or fight their way toward color together.

    A story about acceptance, internalized homophobia, addiction, and the path you have to take to be yourself in a world that keeps tearing you down.
