    Summary

    It’s a small town, and Dean has never had to do this before. Still, he’s a cop and that means it’s his job to inform the residents of Sioux Falls that a registered sex offender is moving into the area. Of all the duties of his job, this is his least favorite, so far. These are people he cares about. Families that he’s gladly taken a vow to protect. He hates that he has to put that concerned look on their faces. He’s glad he can reassure them that in their quiet little town, none of Sioux Fall’s finest have anything better to do than make sure Castiel Novak can’t hurt them.

    Summary

    One of the perks of Dean's job as a firefighter is being part of the annual first responders' calendar. It's a bigger perk than ever when he gets to know one of the other calendar models: Castiel, a detective who assists in fire investigations. Castiel has just moved into town in the aftermath of a messy breakup, and all he wants is to find some new friends and settle down in his new community. Despite a few hiccups at the start of the road, they begin to build a friendship that has the potential to grow into more.

    But Castiel's past is about to come back to haunt him, and it’s going to do its best to try and stop Castiel from building the future he wants.

    Summary

    Adele sang that regrets and mistakes are memories made. What she failed to mention in dulcet tones and a smooth British accent is that they're not always bittersweet, sometimes, they're just bitter.

    Dean's only just getting his life back together after his mistakes cost him his husband, his son, and damn near his liver. There's a long road ahead, filled with pain and heartbreak, the difficult navigating of two parents trying to make divorce work for the sake of their son. Of course, Dean's being morose because it's not all bad, he has his sobriety, he has his brother, he has friends and a job he loves...

    And maybe - just maybe - one day he'll have Cas back too.

    Summary

    “I don’t know what I expected,” she continued. “Maybe if it had only been about sex…” she paused, glancing around the room. Dean ducked out of view, just in time. When Daphne spoke again, her voice was lowered, “But even then, I don’t think it would have worked. Between you and me, he’s not as good at it as Castiel was.”

    What. The. Fuck?

    ---

    In which Dean sets out to prove that he's better at sex than Castiel, all the while insisting that he's straight. Really.
