Summary
After 15 years, a wedding in Vegas 12 years ago, and half a dozen impulsive decisions (including a matching tattoo they still see daily), Dean and Castiel are getting a divorce.
It's been six months since they've separated, and Dean is still in denial, back in his childhood bedroom at Bobby and Ellen's. On the other side of town, Cas is playing the dangerous games of how-many-shifts-in-the-ED-can-I-pick-up-before-collapsing and will-my-liver-survive-to-see-another-day.
Then Dean gets called in the middle of the night by Sioux Falls General Hospital, telling him his husband’s life is hanging by a thread after getting hit by a car on his way back home.
A coma, serious injuries and several surgeries later, Cas is back home with mandatory presence required to help him with reeducation and monitoring his progress. And against all odds, Dean is the one staying around to help.
Dean and Cas’ respective worlds get thrown for another ride, shifting perspectives again.
What if things between them were salvageable? What if everything wasn’t the way they thought it was in the first place? Is it worth trying to glue the pieces back together?
An exercise in healing and second chances.

Summary
On Christmas Eve, freshly-uncloseted Dean is dumped before his first-ever date with another dude. There to lift his spirits is Castiel, a talented mall-kiosk makeup artist with blue hair and a shy smile. But Cas is all that and more: he also happens to do seasonal work for actual, literal Santa.
Contrary to all plans ever made, Dean is swept away for one spectacular night with Cas and his sleigh-pulling moose, chasing storms, delivering gifts, and talking about Dean’s ideal first time with a guy.
Okay, cool.
New plan?

Summary
Pre-series AU: Dean is young and hunting on his own – with Sam off at Stanford and his father still chasing after Mary’s killer, it’s his job to take on the smaller cases. Ghosts, haunted woods, missing kids. He ends up in a small town on a case exactly like that, except he doesn’t find a ghost this time. Entering the supposedly haunted forest, Dean trips and falls by the river; meets Castiel and falls again, helplessly.
