    Summary

    It's 1995, and Castiel's high school years are destined to be difficult: home-schooled until eighth grade, he is awkward, shy, and socially inept. The weird kid with the funny name would rather isolate himself and draw in his sketchbook than deal with the constant bullying he faces every day. Things only get worse in his junior year when he excels in home economics class, leading the captain of the baseball team, Alastair, to start taunting him for being gay.

    Then new student Dean Winchester arrives at Flour Bluff High School, sharing many of Castiel's classes. Castiel has seen his type before -- handsome, athletic, arrogant, and sure to be the most popular kid in school. But Castiel eventually learns that he and Dean have more in common than he thought, and they form an unlikely friendship.

    Summary

    Jack pulls Cas out of the Empty, just in time to save Dean. With Dean unable to live without him, ready to die on that rebar, neither of them expected to live to speak about Cas’s confession. But he’s back.

    After six months of pure hell without Cas, Team Free Will deserves a vacation. Along the road, with the confession looming and Cas unabashedly in love, Dean is forced to confront his own feelings and the trauma that made him the man he is. He’s tried for years to show Cas the worst of him, to warn him. To prove that he is not worthy. And yet, Cas always came back. He didn’t want the perfect, clean, Righteous Man. In his final moments, from the very first meeting, he saw straight through to the core of Dean.

    And he loved it anyway.

    This is the story of how Dean Winchester learns to be free.

    This is how Dean learns to be loved.

    Summary

    Brittle and battle-worn, Cas looks at him over coffee one morning and says, "I need to go," and Dean instantly knows that he's not coming back. 

    He's not really sure how he knows it, but he does. It settles into the pit of his stomach, curling hot and tight like something he instinctively wants to tear out with his bare hands. He takes a breath, and it gets stuck in his throat, hitching there. It hurts, hurts, hurts when he finally exhales. 

    "Yeah," Dean says, "of course you do," and he nods jerkily as he looks down at his phone. He doesn't say goodbye. He doesn't look up from the screen when Cas gets up and leaves the room. He doesn't finish his coffee, or move for a long time. 

    By nightfall, Cas is gone.

    Summary

    So, the first thing that happens is Castiel comes back.

    ~~~

    "Right," Dean says eventually, gruffly. He looks down at his shoes. "I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life, man. It's—you know, yours. Do your thing, love who you love, whatever. I can't really stop you from loving me, if that's what you've decided to do, but I don't—I can't—"

    "I know," Castiel murmurs, still just smiling a little, not looking heartbroken at all. "Don't worry about it, Dean, that's all I ask."

    "So we're—" Dean risks a glance up, swallowing thickly. "We're good?"

    Castiel hums. "We're good."

    Summary

    Anthony is reluctantly dragged to Dickens Fair—a festive world of Victorian reenactment and holiday cheer—by his exuberant friend, Ana. A confirmed Christmas cynic with no love for anything merry and bright, he never expects to meet someone who could change his mind. But when he meets Ezra, a captivating bartender with a knack for serving up warm drinks and smiles, Anthony finds himself irresistibly drawn back to the enchanting hustle and bustle of Fair.

    Ezra has all but given up on love, disillusioned by past disappointments. Yet something about Anthony's charm (and wickedly handsome good looks) makes him reconsider.

    As their paths intertwine amidst carolers, can-can dancers, and Dickensian theater, both men are challenged to find the courage to risk their hearts and embrace the magic of the season together.
