    Summary

    Cages or wings — which do you prefer?
    Ask the birds.
    Fear or love?
    Baby, don’t say the answer...
    actions speak louder than words


    Castiel was entrusted with the most sacred mission: protect the Michael Sword, the Righteous Man, until he comes of age to be of use to Heaven in the war against Lucifer. He willingly fell to earth, with the knowledge that he would be captured and enslaved, and eventually fall into the possession of the Righteous Man’s father. He was not prepared for what that would entail, and the horror he would be forced to face at his master’s hands.

    Dean was seven when Dad came back from a hunting trip with a bound, beaten man in a tan coat that suddenly went everywhere with them. His job, Dad explained, was going to be protecting Dean and Sam while Dad was away hunting.

    At first, Dean doesn’t understand why the man stays around just to basically babysit them... Until one terrible day he does: it’s not that Castiel won’t leave, it’s that he can’t — and after that, nothing will ever be the same.

    (Please note: Dean/Cas is the endgame, but does not happen while Dean is below the age of consent.)

    Summary

    After a whirlwind romance and a year that quickly passes, Castiel has no choice but to leave his alpha and newborn pup behind. It’s the only way he can protect the family he was never allowed to have. Dean doesn’t know Castiel’s real name, or the fact that he is a prince, and already betrothed to someone else. As far as he’s concerned, he and Jack have been deserted.

    Five years later, Castiel is free and only wants to be reunited with his family. He learns that people who promised to look after his alpha and pup had lied, and Dean and Jack have completely disappeared. When the prince finally does get a lead, the information is worse than he could have imagined.

    Summary

    Dean is a Prince, and even in the 21st century he’s expected to make a good match (unfortunately for Castiel, marrying your local librarian and best friend apparently doesn’t count). The announcement of Dean’s upcoming arranged marriage to someone he doesn’t even know hits Castiel hard.

    But late in the night during his bachelor party in Las Vegas, Dean leans over to Castiel and asks him a question. Castiel knows he should say no. But the next morning, Dean and Castiel wake up with matching rings on their fingers.

    With an international incident only one mistake away, Dean and Castiel begin trying to get an annulment in secret - but slowly realise that neither of them wants to spend the rest of their lives apart.

    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?
