    Summary

    Castiel Armstrong is a hospice nurse struggling to stay afloat (financially and emotionally) after a disastrous divorce. Dean Winchester is a successful mechanic, trying to build a secure foundation after a lifetime of instability. When his strong, indomitable father announces his intention to stop cancer treatments, Dean's world is rocked, but that's nothing compared to his shock when he meets John's new nurse. Dean changed schools more often than he changed shoe sizes growing up, but he remembered Castiel. Was it too much to hope that Castiel remembered HIM?

    Summary

    Between his fraught relationship with his sister and his tenuous place at his band's music label, Cas needs a distraction. He finds it in Dean, who's having his own issues with his brother's recovery from substance abuse and pressure from his dad (and band manager). After a stress-relieving one-night stand, Cas and Dean part on less than friendly terms, happy to never see each other again.

    Months later, they find themselves back in close quarters as their rock bands tour together. With their negative first impressions behind them, Dean and Cas bond quickly, and with the allure of a convenient hook up, they fall into a secret friends-with-benefits relationship.

    It's the perfect solution, until it's not. After all, Dean has a womanizing reputation to maintain, and Cas has been burned by closeted guys before.

    Summary

    Dean’s lip wobbles at the sound of his own young voice. This has never happened before. He never gets out of the house. So he watches with rapt attention as his child-self walks with the dog across the wood of the porch without any sort of acknowledgment of Dean’s grown presence. “Thank you for saving me, pup. You’re funny. Funny-looking pup.”

    It’s strange because although the dog has a certain aura about it, it just looks like a stray. The mystery of what his younger self is referring to is answered quickly when the dog raises its head as the two of them walk past the grown Dean in order to get to the stairs that lead down from the porch to the front yard. It stares right at Dean for that pinpoint second. Its eyes are blue down the straight line of its muzzle.

    “...Cas?”

    or the one where dean has a nightmare about his dad and cas loves a rescue mission

    Summary

    “Don’t come any closer."

    The man stops his approach. “Or you’ll… throw a book at me?”

    The stranger’s eyes follow the chain from Dean’s ankle to the wall and then centers back to him and the book. He can practically hear the guy thinking something like, ‘what good is a book gonna do you when you’re chained up like an animal?’

    “Are you gonna kill me?” Dean hesitantly looks up. It’s a little disorienting to be met with the biggest kicked-puppy-eyes he’s ever seen before. He didn’t expect that sort of expression on the face of someone who was choking a guy to death a few minutes ago.

    ---

    After getting kicked out from home, Dean lives on the streets selling himself to survive, only to get kidnapped and imprisoned. His savior comes in the form of a man murdering his kidnapper. Not wanting to go back to his lonely, homeless life, he seeks out this mysterious stranger to try and find somewhere he can belong.

    Or: Dean is saved by Cas. Cas doesn't want anyone to find out he's a serial killer, so he tries his best to stay hidden. Dean follows him anyway.
