    Summary

    [podfic version]
    Only a very few people in the world know that the celebrated and reclusive poet Jack Allen is just Kansas mechanic Dean Winchester, a high school dropout with a few bucks to his name. Not that it matters anymore; life has left him so wrung out he never wants to pick up another pen.

    Until, that is, a string of coincidences leads Dean to auditing a poetry course with one Dr. Castiel Novak. The professor is wildly intelligent, devastatingly handsome...and just so happens to be academia's foremost expert on the poetry of Jack Allen.

    Summary

    As a kid, Dean’s dreams were pretty straightforward: food, a roof over his head, and maybe – if he really let himself dream big – a family that wouldn’t kick him out the second he became more trouble than he was worth. College? Not on his radar. Suddenly he’s here, though – on a football scholarship and faced with the possibility that this time he might get to stay.

    For someone more well-adjusted it would be a dream come true. For Dean it’s a nightmare of desperately keeping up appearances while he’s drowning in other people’s expectations.

    At least until a game of Truth or Dare sends him face-first into the arms of Castiel Novak. Senior. Resident (ex-)drug dealer. Obnoxious literature major. Heavily tattooed and everything Dean is trying to leave behind.

    Dean needs a favor and Castiel is all too willing to deliver. Unfortunately the offer comes with strings attached that go well beyond the fake relationship that Castiel asks for in return.

    Summary

    Cas gasped, "Please-," and tightened his grip on Dean's hands. He immediately silenced his thought and released his grip on the hunter.

    "Sorry," he muttered.

    "Nah. Don't be sorry. I get it," Dean whispered as he looked down at their hands and licked his lips. A strange weight lifted off Castiel's shoulders when Dean grabbed his hands more firmly and held them tight. They let their hands rest on the mattress between them. "I get it. Contact - touching - it's important for humans. Sounds dumb. But it's true. People need… like a herd or clan or whatever. We're not meant to be alone."

    Cas looked blankly at him. "That seems like interesting advice for you of all people to give me."

    Dean chuckled, nodding. "Yeah. But I do have some friends and I have Sammy. Still, you have a point. I mean, how do you think I know? Why do you think I am the way I am? Like I said. I get it."
