    Summary

    Dean Winchester never expected much from life. His mother abandoned her sons to be raised by their drunk, abusive father. Dean dropped out of school to take care of the family, but they were barely getting by, so when a handsome stranger came along, offering him a way out... Well, even if things weren’t perfect, he wasn’t going to risk losing a good thing.

    So what if Lee was a mean drunk — it wasn’t anything Dean hadn’t seen from his father his whole life. So what if sometimes he was a bit too rough — Dean’s tough, he can take it. And so what, if sometimes things got a bit out of hand when Lee’s friends came around — Lee doesn’t seem to mind. In fact, sometimes he asks Dean to ‘take care of them’. (It was fine. It was all fine.)

    Enter grad student Castiel, who is instantly intrigued by the kind, quiet mechanic with the sad eyes. The more he gets to know Dean, the more he learns about his heartbreaking past and even more heartbreaking present, the more he feels like he’s fallen into something he can’t walk away from.

    Dean doesn’t believe he deserves to be saved, because he never thought to ask. Can Castiel be the one to pull him out of hell?

    Title inspired by: Fast Car by Tracy Chapman

    Summary

    'I would like to take in your most abused one,' Castiel says, looking at the rows of doors in the yellow corridor. 'Give him a good home.'

    After his accident, Castiel needs someone to help him around the small brick house he lives in and the bookstore he owns. So, he adopts Dean; an omega who barely survived being dumped in a ditch and left for dead. Dean doesn't talk, but that's fine; they learn to live together in the quaint, rainy city surrounded by a green forest. Castiel just wants to give Dean a peaceful life he deserves, and maybe also - become his mate?

    Summary

    Dean's life is finally changing. After years of enduring Alastair's abuse, the alpha dies and Dean's married off to the next alpha the system pairs him with - Castiel. The man is strange and distant, but not exactly bad, and Dean's determined to be on his best behavior and not mess up the chance he was given. Soon enough, though, he fucks up anyway and has to call the alpha for help.

    Castiel's lived his entire life without an omega by his side, and he was fine with that. He doesn't know how to proceed once he's suddenly married to a beautiful man who's obviously been through a lot. Omegas were always a confusing subject to him, so he tries not to interfere much - neither of them is there by their choice. But when Dean calls for help, he understands he's going to have to set some things straight and engage more.

    Summary

    In his final year of college, Dean Winchester’s got a lot of decisions to make: what he’s going to do with his life, where he’s going to do it, and most importantly, which girl he’s going to do... right now. And later tonight. And the next night. And the next—

    When new transfer student Castiel Novak shows up first in his class, and then his friend group, Dean can’t help but see it as an infiltration. Something is up with Castiel, and he’s going to find out what. More accurately, he’s going to enlist his best and longest suffering hacker friend, Charlie Bradbury, to do it for him.

    Not a single one of Dean’s suspicions has anything to do with the fact that upon their first meeting, Castiel insults his shoes, his general existence, and his masculinity by— looking at him like that.
