Summary
Sent out to hunt on his own after his brother left for Stanford, Dean is visited by a strange, bloodied man in a suit and trench coat. The man calls himself Castiel and he claims to be an angel. Yeah, right. But after waking up back in his motel room with no other memory of the night, he can't seem to get that stranger out of his head. Why does that name remain on the tip of his tongue? And why does he have the urge to speak to the man out loud?
Meanwhile, Castiel is at his post in Heaven when a prayer suddenly vibrates through him. Castiel becomes enraptured by the human calling upon him, but his fascination quickly becomes irritation when the prayer turns angry, the man accusing Castiel of things he hasn't done.
Will these two strangers be able to work together to find out why Dean was visited by Castiel's future self? Will they be able to overcome their clashing personalities? Or will the Host and their mysterious plans keep them from each other?
-
Or: How, after seeing no other option, Castiel travels back in time to play matchmaker with the past versions of himself and Dean.

Summary
Dean has to do an inspection at Sagittarius Bath House, which to his surprise, isn’t so much a bathhouse as it is a venue for gay men to go to hook up anonymously. Throughout the day he keeps running into an unwitting stranger who seems to have expected an actual bathhouse, if his flip-flops and bathrobe are anything to go by. After their encounters, Dean can't get the strange blue-eyed man out of his head. Of course nothing will come from indulging in his fantasies after their meeting, it's not like he'll ever see the handsome stranger ever again. Right?

Summary
Castiel gets himself turned into a worm and he can only be cured by true love's kiss. Now, Dean has a lot to think about. At least he would if he didn't stubbornly refuse to think of anything as complicated as his own feelings.

Summary
It was a nameless planet, third from its sun. Landless; windswept azure oceans roiled across its surface. But beneath the waters murky currents churned, combining and recombining acids, aminos, lipids, and all other gifts bestowed by the Creator. Until finally the fated reaction occurred: a self replicating chain. In the eyes of the Creator the change was instant, and the once lonely oceans now teemed with life.
One such thing, multilegged and compound-eyed, chitinous and pearlescent, crawled across the sandy ocean bottom and, as it had always done, filtered the ever-present currents and brought the tiny specks of life it had caught to its mouth with its pincers.
Was it the hand of the creator that intervened or had the thing reached a level of complexity, is uncertain. But there was a spark within a spark, and suddenly the thing knew itself. Dean, it knew, is what it was.

Summary
Castiel’s life is pretty well on-track for someone who’s just turned thirty, if he does say so himself — he’s got a great job at the university, he’s just finished his master’s degree, and he has it on good authority that he’s going to be accepted for his PhD next year. Things go slightly awry when he wakes up one morning with a neck so sore and so stiff that he can’t move his head. He’s not sure how he obtained a musculoskeletal injury while writing his thesis, but he is sure that the physiotherapist who will be treating the injury is quite literally the most attractive man he’s ever seen in his life. It only gets worse when Dean turns up as a tutor at the university, which, incidentally, he does at the same time that Castiel receives an unsolicited nude from an unknown number.

Summary
In his final year of college, Dean Winchester’s got a lot of decisions to make: what he’s going to do with his life, where he’s going to do it, and most importantly, which girl he’s going to do... right now. And later tonight. And the next night. And the next—
When new transfer student Castiel Novak shows up first in his class, and then his friend group, Dean can’t help but see it as an infiltration. Something is up with Castiel, and he’s going to find out what. More accurately, he’s going to enlist his best and longest suffering hacker friend, Charlie Bradbury, to do it for him.
Not a single one of Dean’s suspicions has anything to do with the fact that upon their first meeting, Castiel insults his shoes, his general existence, and his masculinity by— looking at him like that.

Summary
Dean Winchester moved to Pontiac, Illinois six months ago when his girlfriend Carmen got a new job. Unfortunately for Dean, Carmen then left him for her boss, so he needs to find a roommate ASAP. Castiel Novak needs to move out of his brother’s house before his niece is born, and when he finds Dean’s ad on Craigslist, it seems like the perfect solution for both of them. So what if Dean is ridiculously gorgeous? Castiel can keep his crush under control. So what if Castiel is gay? Totally straight Dean isn’t at all affected by seeing him hook up with dudes. They’re just a couple of completely platonic roommates.
Well… that’s what they think, anyway…

Summary
”Bet you pick up a lot of girls with that,” Dean nods his head at the sleek bike outside.
”I think that would be an unwise goal, statistically speaking. In my experience it primarily attracts other men,” comes the reply from behind the helmet.
Dean’s eyebrows go up. He waits for a flustered no-homo clarification that doesn’t come.
Instead the guy continues, ”And most of them are straight, so that doesn’t really help me pick up anyone.”
Alrighty then.
