    Summary

    A rival family is stealing the Patricolo Family’s Boston shipments and collecting a neat payday five hours away on the streets of Brooklyn and Manhattan. Their Don, Dean Winchester, is wary about reaching out to a long-time New York ally. The Russian Bratvas do things differently. The young Pakhan, Castiel Krushnic, is hard-nosed and violent and while violence is mainstay in any underworld family, this boss has a special flair for it. It leaves an uncomfortable taste in Don Winchester’s mouth.

    Encouraged by his Consigliere, Bobby Singer, he finally relents. The Pakhan is quite different from what he was expecting. Dean learns the man’s secret by accident and decides to keep it to himself. They have bigger fish to fry as they discover traitors in both of their organizations while their enemy ups the stakes for each of them. After members of each family are kidnapped, the stakes get even higher.

    Betrayed from within leads to exposing long held secrets and when long denied desires are unleashed it puts each of them on a path that will change their lives forever.

    Summary

    At thirty-six, Dean Winchester is the Captain of Lawrence Fire Station 24 — respected, decorated, and trusted with lives when everything is burning down. He runs his crew with precision, authority, and gallows humor, the kind of man you want beside you when the smoke gets thick. He has the house. The career. The scars to prove he earned both.

    What he doesn’t have is anyone waiting for him when the sirens go quiet.

    Dean tries to explain why Castiel doesn’t fit into his life — too quiet, too gentle, too different from anyone he’s ever dated.

    Sam, who’s heard every version of this argument before, gently points out the truth Dean keeps avoiding: maybe the problem isn’t Castiel’s differences — maybe it’s that Dean has spent his whole life choosing what’s safe instead of what he actually needs.

    And maybe what he needs is someone entirely unfamiliar… even if that scares him.

    **

    "You've been dating the same type of person your whole life, and where has it gotten you? Alone in a house that's too quiet. You always go for what's easy, what's familiar. But maybe what you need isn't easy. Maybe what you need is different. Maybe what you need is a nerdy beekeeper who talks about feelings."

    Summary

    Dean Winchester, Alpha, lead Hunter for the Pack, is in need of a mate. His wolf is out of control, he's on edge, and nothing seems to be doing the trick. Dean is convinced that he'll never find a mate, but when the Pack's Council forces him to figure it out before he ends up going rogue, Dean doesn't have much of a choice. Problem is, Dean isn't interested in what the members of his pack have to offer; and that means looking elsewhere.

    Dean knew his mate would have to be different. He just didn't know what "different" would really mean, and how "different" would bring his whole world crashing down on top of him.

    Summary

    Castiel's super-organized life (and even his sleep schedule) is constantly getting messed up by his childhood best friend, Dean Winchester. Dean's got this knack for attracting literally everyone with his ridiculously good looks, dazzling smile, and golden retriever personality. Enough so that he never sleeps in his own bed, and Castiel can never quite get used to it. Especially since, well, he's totally in love with him.

    But just when he's finally accepted his fate of pining from afar, Dean shows up with a massive bite mark on his back, munching on bacon, and claiming he DIED last night.

    Castiel would usually just write it off as a bad trip, but… Dean's been acting seriously weird.

    Like, barking at the mailman, chasing squirrels, and suddenly getting super possessive over Castiel.

    Seriously? What the hell happened last night?

    Maybe if he were a little less fuckable…we wouldn't be in this mess.

    Summary

    "Babe, it's just Dean," said Charlie. "Ignore how good he is at hitting a sphere with a cylinder, and he's essentially an oversized golden retriever with daddy issues - threat level: non-existent."

    "Easy for you to say," said Cas: "You didn't kiss him and upset the natural order."

    (Public drinking and secret pining leads to Cas and Dean locking lips, which leads to Cas freaking out and hiding away for days on end, which leads to Dean putting his foot down.)

    (It's all very dramatic.)
