Summary
“What? It’s a reasonable question! You’re acting like that’s impossible or something.”
“Because it kind of is, Mike.” Will scoffs, only half-humorous now. He pauses for a moment, then sighs, his smile wavering. “Lenora Hills is a big school, and I’m not exactly the most memorable person. There wasn’t anyone, like, lining up to date me.”
Mike blurts, “Well, that’s—that’s stupid.”
or
On the way to Nevada, Mike and Will share a motel room. Things spiral from there.

Summary
There are sunbeams from the kitchen window splashing over Mike’s face and tinting his features gold. The freckles that dust the bridge of his sloping nose and the sharp planes of his cheeks are more visible like this, and despite the dark circles that Will now notices resting beneath his eyes, his expression is bright.
or
It’s the middle of autumn, and Will believes that with each passing day he becomes impossibly more in love than the last.

Summary
Dean starts keeping track of their route on the Rand McNally, logging each leg with a pen he finds in the glovebox. He doesn’t know why other than they’ve never moved like this in his life and he wants some record of the places they stop, even if it’s only for three hours to sleep. East on 90, south on 75, then 65, west on 30, south on 45 all the way to the gulf. Dean reads the frenzy in John’s white-knuckled grip on the steering wheel and it frightens him but he says nothing, just lets his father volley them across the country, away from one ghost and toward every other.
(after sam leaves for stanford, dean and john try to find their way.)

Summary
Castiel intends not to tell Dean anything about his struggles in Heaven, but when Dean learns Castiel has been watching over him, he hopes Dean can help convince the other angels of the value of free will. Dean is convinced Castiel needs to learn more about it himself. As they set out to search for Sam, who remains soulless and doesn’t want to be found, Dean tries to show Castiel that the important choices are the small ones — like which song to listen to, what clothes to wear, and what to order from the drinks menu at a Chicago bar.
Castiel gradually realizes that as much as he’s using their lessons in free will as an escape from his power struggle with Raphael, Dean is using them to escape his family life in Indiana with Lisa. Once that distraction evolves into something more like an affair, Castiel knows there’s no way it can last, but remains preoccupied with this most human thing as he tries to step up as Heaven’s leader, negotiates with the King of Hell, and grows more frustrated with angels’ inability to think for themselves.

Summary
Castiel has spent years suppressing his instincts, fighting his family, denying himself, and convincing his inner alpha to stay quiet. Moving to Boston with his brother is supposed to be a fresh start, a chance to pour everything into his bookstore and forget his troubles. But when he meets the enigmatic flower shop owner whose scent he can’t quite place, something primal erupts. The question isn’t whether Castiel feels it, it’s whether his instincts will frighten Dean away… or finally allow Castiel the comfort he's always been denied.

Summary
Sam's getting married. Which is great. Genuinely, really great. Dean is happy for him.
Dean is also, as a direct consequence of this engagement, standing in a church parking lot for the first time since he was four years old, which is less great.
But it's just his luck that he meets a man with dark hair and blue eyes who owns a '68 Fairlane 500 with a 428 Cobra Jet under the hood that nobody's looked after properly in eighteen months.
It's also just his luck that the man is a Catholic priest.
Dean is thirty years old and should know better. However, he does not, apparently, know better.
Dean offers to fix the car.
