    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.

    Summary

    Castiel is gone. And Dean is grieving.

    “He should be right there, next to me, when I’m driving my car, when I’m walking along a street, when I’m sitting at a table, in a diner, at home. He should be next to me when I’m watching TV. He should be there when I’m cooking a meal. He should be there when… he should be there in my bed.

    “But he isn’t. He isn’t there. He isn’t anywhere. He never will be. Never again. Never. And all that Not There… that’s the worst thing. That’s the worst thing. That’s the thing that’s tearing me apart. It’s just tearing me apart.”

    Summary

    Cas comes back. It's not exactly the reunion that Dean is expecting.

    ~~~

    Dean stares at him, flummoxed. Cas quite literally poured his heart out to Dean, gave a truly sappy and distressingly romantic speech and everything, then proceeded to give his life so that Dean could live his. And he wants to act like he doesn't want to see Dean, be around him, touch him?

    Actually, Dean's ninety-nine percent sure that Cas probably wants to fuck him, and while he has no clue how he feels about that, he's pretty goddamn sure that means Cas doesn't get to act like this and make it authentic.

    It feels strangely real, though, as if Cas wants nothing more than to get as far away from him as possible. This is a blatant contradiction. Even someone as weird as Cas doesn't want to get away from the person they have the desire to fuck five ways to Sunday, that they're in love with. That's not how these things work, so Dean isn't buying it.

    Summary

    "Fine, whatever. Love you too, asshole. I hope you enjoy your walk home with your stupid, grainy bread. Taking Nature's Own a little too much to heart, but sure," Dean tells him, flashing him a sarcastic smile and swiveling around in the aisle to march away. He throws out something over his shoulder, careless and barbed. "I'm not paying for that shitty cardboard." 

    Dean's three aisles over when he realizes what, precisely, he said. Thankfully, when he comes to this conclusion, he's holding a box of poptarts, so when he fumbles and drops them to the floor, it's not a huge mess. He stares down at the slightly dented box of Brown Sugar Poptarts, and he has a very swift and very unshakeable crisis right there and then. 

    Love you too, asshole. 

    No, no, no. Why would he say that? Why would he do that? In the middle of the goddamn grocery store while arguing about bread? That's not—that can't be how it happens. That can't be.

    Summary

    His outstretched glove hangs there, frozen, as the noise of the arena mutates into a ringing buzz. Then he’s moving, pushed away by Marlow, and then Boston’s goalie. There’s a flurry of movement, a trainer with a towel, more blood dripping onto the ice, and he just. Stands there. Staring.

    Ilya is helped off the ice. Shane doesn’t even tap his stick.

    Remember when Sidney Crosby caught a puck with his jaw? That doesn't happen to Shane. That happens to Ilya.
