    Summary

    It’s 1973, and it’s the middle of spring, and each passing day is warmer than the one before it. The troops are returning from Vietnam in droves, and the American shores they stumble upon are just a little more accepting of homosexuality than the ones they left all those years ago. But Father Castiel Novak has never even stepped foot out of Salvation, let alone out of the Midwest, and as the only priest in this very small town, he’s determined to remain in the closet until his very last breath.

    Things take a turn when Salvation’s newest resident confesses to having urges for other men. Dean Winchester wastes no time in asserting himself as both intolerably arrogant and an ungodly temptation, and Castiel’s only defense is to keep his distance. Despite his best efforts, a friendship still ensues, and it’s a very slippery slope then, with things going from bad to worse when Dean offers his self-proclaimed good hands to help bring Castiel’s family home back to life.

    Summary

    Castiel’s life is pretty well on-track for someone who’s just turned thirty, if he does say so himself — he’s got a great job at the university, he’s just finished his master’s degree, and he has it on good authority that he’s going to be accepted for his PhD next year. Things go slightly awry when he wakes up one morning with a neck so sore and so stiff that he can’t move his head. He’s not sure how he obtained a musculoskeletal injury while writing his thesis, but he is sure that the physiotherapist who will be treating the injury is quite literally the most attractive man he’s ever seen in his life. It only gets worse when Dean turns up as a tutor at the university, which, incidentally, he does at the same time that Castiel receives an unsolicited nude from an unknown number.

    Summary

    Dean used to love being a nurse, used to feel like he was doing something good every time he stepped foot in the ICU. These days, more often than not, he’d rather be just about anywhere else. It’s for this reason that he’s once again found himself in bed with some super hot, super buff, super stranger from Grindr. Just something he does to take the edge off. Unfortunately, like everything Dean does, he probably should have thought about it a bit more carefully — Cas is a doctor, apparently, and there’s only one hospital in town, and when some cocky new resident starts giving him attitude in the notes at work, well, he just should have thought about it a bit more carefully. Just when he thought floating to a different ward couldn’t get any worse. Fuck.

    Summary

    Dean and Cas are close. Inseparable, even. Anyone who knows them would tell you that much. They met in freshman year, been roommates and teammates and everything in between since then, and Dean’s thinking it’s just that — the not living together anymore thing — but it’s been a little weird between them since they made the move off campus and back home to Sioux Falls. Cas must be feeling it too because it’s not three days later that he’s signing them both up for the local rugby team, which, given how messy their last season turned out, is probably a bad idea. Cas needs it, though, and Dean needs Cas, and so even though it is a really bad idea, he’s gonna do it anyway. Game on.

    Summary

    Dean Winchester is a twenty-five-year-old travel nurse with nothing but a car to his name and wild oats to be sown. Suffice it to say, but he’s not looking for anything serious when he meets Cas Novak, a travel doctor with big blue eyes and a stupid-hot face, and the two of them spend the next few years bumping around different emergency rooms and bumping uglies any chance they get. It’s the perfect no-strings arrangement until Dean catches full-on feelings for the guy, which, given that Cas is even more committed to the no-commitment lifestyle than Dean is, is a pretty stupid thing to do.

    Castiel Novak has never been one for casual relationships, but after working so hard during his residency, he deserves to have a little fun. And Dean Winchester, with his green eyes and his crooked smile and his perfectly freckled skin, is fun. And yes, perhaps Castiel should have known better than to hope for their no-strings arrangement to one day lead to something serious, but he comes to his senses eventually. He knows now that Dean is never going to feel the same way.

    Or

    Long-term fuck buddies fall for each other but are both too stupid to realize it.
