Summary
Dean walks out of state prison with nothing but the clothes on his back and the weight of every mistake he’s ever made. Living under his brother’s roof comes with rules, restrictions, and a constant watchful eye—all meant to keep him from slipping. But Dean’s restless mind and gnawing loneliness push him toward the one place he never thought he’d end up: church.
That’s where he meets Castiel. Quiet. Widowed. Closed off from the world. Castiel has built walls so high no one dares climb them—but Dean has never been good at keeping boundaries. What starts as awkward small talk turns into late-night conversations and stolen glances across pews. Dean isn’t sure if Castiel is salvation, temptation, or something far more dangerous… all he knows is that being near him feels like breathing for the first time.
No one expects the ex-con and the grieving widower to find each other. No one expects friendship to slip into touches that linger, words that burn, love that tastes like both ruin and redemption. But against all odds, Dean and Castiel discover that sometimes the most unexpected places—like a quiet church, or the arms of someone you swore you’d never need—can feel like home.

Summary
When Claire left for college, Castiel was left alone in a house that felt more like a mausoleum than a home. At thirty-eight, the silence wasn’t comforting—it gnawed at him. Then Dean Winchester moved in next door: loud, young, and reckless, with his roaring engine, shameless smirks, and oil-slicked jeans slung low on his hips. Castiel told himself he was too old, too sensible to care—but he looked. Dean noticed. And teased. He smoked just to provoke, worked shirtless just to be watched. They were opposites in every way, circling each other with heat and hesitation, both painfully aware of the tension crackling between them—but neither brave enough to touch the spark.
**
“I don’t think this is a good idea,” Castiel said, and even as the words left his mouth, his gaze dropped—first to Dean’s lips, then lower, to the hard press of Dean’s body against his own.
Dean didn’t falter.
“Give me one good reason why not,” he said, voice husky but steady. “And I’ll stop.”

Summary
“Here we go, Claire-bear,” Castiel said, trying to hide his exhaustion from his daughter. “Ice cream, just like you were asking for.”
“Chocolate, Daddy?” The blonde-haired toddler asked, her face glowing with an innocence that her omega father knew could disappear at any moment if she wasn’t happy. Whoever came up with the term ‘terrible twos’ had greatly underestimated Claire Novak.
“Of course, sweetie,” he gave in. They’d been running errands all day, and the hot July sun had been making things twenty times more miserable for the omega.
