Summary
Dean Winchester lives a quiet, rough-edged life in South LA—just him, his truck, and a job that keeps his hands busy. But when a new neighbor moves in next door, everything shifts. Castiel is quiet. Skittish. Carrying something he won’t say. Dean’s not looking to get involved, but some things are too loud to ignore.
What starts with a knock on a door becomes something neither of them expected: a slow, sharp, deeply human story about what it means to survive—and what it means to be seen.

Summary
Castiel Novak—known to the world as Dmitri Krushnic, son of the Russian Prime Minister—has lived his life under glass. Cameras, guards, expectations—every moment watched. When threats rise against his father’s political reign, he becomes a target, and the solution is simple: hire protection.
Enter Dean Winchester—quiet, composed, and far too observant. A man with military precision and secrets buried deep beneath his calm exterior. Because Dean isn’t there to protect Castiel. He’s there to destroy him.
But somewhere between bulletproof cars and midnight escapes, between whispered confessions and the press of hands that should never touch, the lines blur.
There’s only one problem—Castiel doesn’t speak English, Dean doesn’t speak Russian, and somehow they still manage to fall in love. Afterall, how do you kill the one person who makes you feel alive?

Summary
Cages or wings — which do you prefer?
Ask the birds.
Fear or love?
Baby, don’t say the answer...
actions speak louder than wordsCastiel 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
Castiel Novak is convinced he’s the last unwillingly single person in Lupine Cove. Even Gabriel, his perpetual bachelor brother, has found love. It’s probably because Cas leads the most boring life in existence. He’s a gay man living in a rented, one-room cottage in the same small coastal town he grew up in, just getting by as the owner of the same convenience store he was practically raised in. The most excitement he gets is chatting with the locals or maybe, if he’s unlucky, oversleeping and rushing to work. So when a baby is left at the Safe Haven drop-off at the local fire station, he takes the opportunity to step in for the child temporarily, at least until suitable parents, plural, can be found.
Life certainly gets more interesting.
And it gets even more interesting when a handsome man comes crashing—literally—into his life.
