Summary
Dean knows he's distracted. He's the street boss of the Chicago Outfit, and he really can't afford to not have his head in the game. He's here to meet the damned Bratva who's been running around his city for the past week, and if he fucks this up Bobby will kill him. Well, if this job doesn't do it first.
If only he could keep his mind off the hot accountant from last night.

Summary
Dean’s already having a crappy day. The North Side Gang is acting up, Arthur Ketch is being a passive-aggressive priss, Sammy won’t stop teasing him, and he has to get his head in shape for Bobby’s first meeting with the Brighton Beach Avoritet tomorrow.
Finding out that a Russian mobster has broken into his bedroom is just the cherry on top.

Summary
Dean doesn’t think that recovering from being shot is fun in the first place. He’s a little stir crazy, he feels like he’s losing track of what’s going on around his city, and the fact that he got shot in the first place means that there’s some bad shit going down. Bobby wanting him to escort some Mafia princess around Chicago to demonstrate ‘goodwill’ to her family is just the last straw.
Dean’s bad mood has nothing to do with the fact that a certain Bratva didn't show last night.

Summary
Dean's never been good at dealing with crap when something happens to one of his people. He knows this is how it is, this is the life, and sometimes it's pretty shitty. But that doesn't make it better, with the stink of the hospital in his nose and the short December days in Chicago closing hard and frigid around him.
So if a certain Bratva thinks he's up to fuck right now, he's got another thing coming.

Summary
Dean knows this dive bar is a little outside of the Outfit's territory, but he's here to drink, not compare dicks with the North Side Gang. It's in the thirties and not sleeting, so that practically counts as summer here in Chicagoland. The Bratva are in town for more negotiations, but Dean's grudgingly decided that most of them are alright. Some of them are a little more alright than others.
It was supposed to be a quiet night.

Summary
It’s been pretty busy on the South Side. Sammy’s got a new girlfriend, Ketch got his trap manually shut for him, and Alastair’s dead in an alleyway, good fucking riddance. Dean doesn’t know why Cas held on so hard to that expensive little shithole apartment in the South Loop, but at least that Bratva’s finally out of the goddamned downtown and staying where he should be: with Dean.
Dean’s still going to break the legs of the next asshole who asks when they’re getting married.

Summary
Summer in Chicago is a rough time to be a street boss for the Outfit: it's hot, it's sticky, and it's Dean's job to keep his people from becoming the assholes who start shooting their way down I-55... or take care of the people who do.
But not everything about summertime is bad. Some things are worth making a habit of. A tradition, even.
Even if it means explaining to the Bratva living with him why Dean's shirtless and putting on makeup.
