Summary
“I don’t know if you’ve ever noticed, but there are some people that just seem to suck the joy out of the world around them.” Dean chuckles darkly in understanding. “My parents were like that.”
Dean Winchester doesn’t suspect his new friend Castiel’s sincerity. Castiel Novak is a Pranat. One wrong touch, and anyone from his species can digest the joy from the world around them. Unwilling to doom any one town to that fate, Castiel overcomes his ‘disability’ by driving an eighteen wheeler between the hubs of a large shipping company and living on the joy from the packages in his care. A few smiles here, a hearty laugh there, but at least he can believe no one is too deeply affected.
When a terrible snowstorm forces him to pull into an empty parking lot, a kindhearted cook brings him inside the empty diner for some coffee and company. Over several visits together, they begin to share friendship, and maybe something more. But as much as he craves it, Castiel can never allow himself to touch Dean Winchester. Not if he wants his new friend to lead a happy life.

Summary
Dean Winchester is a student at the Chuckworts School of Wizarding Arts and Long-Haul Trucking. And he has a problem. Actually, he has a few problems: he's failing several classes, and this might put his and Sammy's scholarship in jeopardy. But his biggest problem is his rather obvious crush on a fellow student named Castiel. Cas is a brilliant wizard with big blue eyes, but his brothers (who all go to the school) are pretty obnoxious, and every time Dean runs into Cas, he ends up doing something ridiculously un-cool. Imagine Dean's discomfit when he is entered in the Tri-Wizard Trucking Tournament and finds out his co-driver will be none other than Castiel … who can't even drive, we should note! It will take everything Dean's got to go up against Lucifer and his nasty friends, save their scholarship, save the school, and maybe – just maybe – actually look awesome in front of Cas.

Summary
Castiel is the perfusionist on call when a young college kid, Sam Winchester, is brought in with Acute Respiratory Distress and needs to be put on an emergent life support machine called ECMO. His brother Dean is there with him every day, and along the way he forms a surprising bond with Castiel.
Afraid of hospital rules and his own self doubts, Castiel keeps their relationship strictly in the friendship area, wary of losing his job as he falls hard for a patient’s family member, that he is pretty sure isn’t into men anyway. Either way, it’s against the rules and he’s not about to break them.
