   Summary

   Former child star Castiel Novak has played one role his entire life: actor. He grew up in front of the camera and continues to act now that he’s an adult. He doesn’t love it, but it’s the only life he knows.

   His co-star, Dean Winchester, is new to the industry and clearly has no idea what he’s doing or what it means to be famous.

   Cas just hopes Dean doesn’t screw everything up.

   Celebrity AU.
