    Summary

    In the spring of 1944, the 104th Medical Battalion of the United States Army is disbanded, and its men reassigned to various infantry companies in preparation for their invasion of occupied France. For First Lieutenant Novak, this is less than helpful, as he has so far met his platoon’s designated medic a grand total of twice, and has both times found Sergeant Winchester to be the optimum combination of reckless, arrogant, and downright insufferable so as to make cohesive platoon function near impossible. When the time comes to move out, however, Castiel has to reconcile himself to the fact that men are going to go down and trust that Dean Winchester may well be the only person who can put them back together again. WW2 ETO infantry AU.

    Summary

    After a decade-and-a-half of living in each other’s pockets, touring in cramped vans, and writing songs in cheap motel rooms, bandmates Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak have mastered the art of Not Talking About It while letting the music say what they can’t. They’ve spent years blurring the lines between best friends and soulmates, pouring their tangled emotions into tracks that fans scream back at them.

    But their latest tour is a different beast. With sold-out venues, media scrutiny, and the suffocating proximity of life on the road, the tension is at a breaking point. As the tour rolls on, resisting the pull becomes impossible. One late night, one too-close-to-the-bone song, and one reckless touch will force them to confront their feelings, risking the band they built for the love they’ve always suppressed.

    Summary

    As a grease monkey turned college freshman, Dean's constantly three seconds away from being stressed out of his mind. It hardly helps that he's finally figuring out his sexuality in his thirties.

    What might help with that stress is a little phone number (and a big credit card bill). If he can't figure out how to be bisexual in person, he can at least give it a go over the phone, right?

    (It's probably a bad idea, but he really can't help himself.)
