Can you do a sneek peak for wells always have new orleans? The last chapter ended in a really good moment, Im so excited!!

Ok, this isn’t the beginning of the next chapter because that will take some rewriting before I can update, so I have a little bit sort of in the middle. It has no Klaus, it’s just Caroline struggling with being back in the real world. I hope you like it!

_____________

We’ll Always Have New Orleans Chapter 12 Sneak-Peek

Planning a prom she was certain she'd missed is both heartwarming and bittersweet. She's glad she'll get a second chance at this, it's an important milestone she'd been preparing for since her first day of high school. There will be a hundred other people there, but it's her prom more than anyone else's, it doesn't matter what anyone says. And yet... Nothing erases from her mind that she's already had a prom, and it was faultless. It's impossible not to compare. What had seemed to be absolutely perfect before is now just so... Bland. Outdated and dull.

The other people on the prom committee thought she was dead when she didn't show up for the meeting - the day before or a week ago, depending on the point of view. They ask her a thousand times if she's ok, want to know why she's suddenly so indifferent when she had been so full of energy and ideas two days before. How can she explain to these poor mortal souls that her life has so drastically changed in the space of a single day? The world has spun out of its axis, ripped itself into pieces and stitched itself back together, spinning a little different than before, right under their noses, and they have no idea. They don't know shit. No one does. Not even her friends. The only person who'd be able to look at her and understand is the one person she cannot come anywhere near to because He is not our friend.

After a whole day of this at school, of having people looking at her like she's being a bitch for no reason, Caroline decides that she's had enough of it. So she does the one thing she's guaranteed to succeed at: she takes the helm of the ship again and starts planning a prom for the ages.

Her thoughts are screaming in her head and she's far from being ok, but this is the kind of thing she can do braindead, so that's a relief. Her colleagues look at her like she's completely lost it when she shows up at their next meeting with a huge binder filled with ideas. "I think we need a theme," she says.

"Why?" Dana asks, arms crossed over her chest. "Our theme is thank God we're out of this goddamn town."

Caroline rolls her eyes at her. "You're so narrow-minded sometimes, Dana. Don't you want to leave a mark? Even if you never set foot in Mystic Falls again - which, by the way, I doubt it - don't you want to know that you'll be remembered? We should have a prom that will set the bar for every class that comes after ours. Not just your regular dance at the gymnasium. I want big. I want epic." Her eyes sparkle with excitement as she paces around and explains her vision. In her mind, all she sees is the courtyard of a certain compound in New Orleans, filled with flowers and fairy lights. That's what she has to beat. Her real prom has to be greater than the fake one, otherwise she'll never get over that warm, inconvenient feeling in her chest every time she remembers New Orleans. "Pictures of You."

"What?" Alice Fell asks, frowning.

"Pictures of You," Caroline echoes in a clipped tone, like she's talking to an audience of hearing-impaired people. "It's the theme. We'll have photographs of everyone in our class. It can be social media photos or from the school archives, from our previous dances and charities and the football matches and cheerleading competitions. I'll talk to Mrs. Anders and ask for her help with that. And we can have them all displayed on the outside, like forming a path to the prom, you know? Reminding us of everything that we went through to get there."

"You mean like in the hallway outside the gym?" Alice asks.

"Oh, no. Forget the gym. We're moving this party elsewhere. I think I have just the place. Right by the woods. The city council used to hold some meetings there, I remember going on a lot of events with my mom. I think I can get them to let us use it for free. It'll be gorgeous."

"Ok," Dana drawls. "And who's going to get all that done? Gather the photographs, have them printed -"

"Not printed. Are you kidding me? This is the 21st century, Dana. We need screens. Big ones."

Dana scoffs, exchanges a weird glance with Alice. "Are you drunk, Caroline? Prom is this Friday. How the hell are we supposed to have all this done in just a few days?"

"Yeah, and we've pretty much butchered our entire budget on the prom you don't wanna have anymore. How are we going to afford screens?" Alice adds.

Caroline sighs and very calmly puts down her binder. She looks at her colleagues, the ones seeming too shocked to produce an opinion, and Dana and Alice, who are frankly testing her patience and begging her to break her no compelling colleagues unless it's a life or death situation rule. She puts on her best I know you're struggling, but I'm going to say this in a way you can understand smile and says, "Have you met me, Dana?"

Everybody Says Mark Was the First Gospel, But Was It? (With Dr. David Alan Black

COMMENTARY:

Well, for reasons that you will have to come to grok in fullness, Dr. Black has all the pieces, but he's jammed them into his premise because he is old enough to have been elgible for the draft his first year of college in 1971, the year I got back from Vietnam, The consequene is he has a blind spot about all things military because he was scared shitless of going to Vietnam.

And he's pretty typcial of Pro-Life Evangelical Spiritual Warriors. It's like Donald John Trump* calling himself a "War President"; or smarter about pandemics than the White House pandemic reponse team he disbanded in 2018 for the same reason the Republicans in Florida sabotaged the mechanisms for receiving unemployment: dumb ass Joe McCarthy Conservative politics.

I went to Vietnam because I was a Christian Soldier and my commission was the Liberation Gospel of the Gospel According to Mark. I went. locked and loaded, to Vietnam and I earned my spurs. I have a Combat Infantryman's Badge and a couple or three scaples. I went to Vietnam to kill a Kong for Christas and I stand here and declare "Mission Accomplished".

Then I came back to the World and have spent the last 49 years dealing with white, male Spiritual Warriors like you and Dr. Clark and Donald John Trump*. Which is why the suicide rate among combat veterans is 22 vets a day. You know how you like to poo-poo numerology and numerics in the Bible? Well, could make the case that the Holy Spirit has somehow suppressed the suicide rate in veterns like me to JUST 22 a day just so I can point it out to you at this very instant for the very first time anywhere on the internet of Christendom.

Those who have eyes, see.

The axis between Q and the Letter to the Hebrews is a case study in a generic intellince assessment process being employed in Langley, today. It's the way the etimoloigists that Donald John Trump* fired from the White House in 2018 would have gone about making a risk assesssment for the Coronavirius long before China would have permitted the word of the pandemic from getting out. You can see why the godless commie cocksuckers in Beijing would have wanted to keep the pandemic secret from the world given that America just pulled an aircraft carrier off the line to protect the crew: during the battle of Stalingrad, a little pandemic would have just added a subject to sing about to the festivities.

The Gospel According to Mark is not the first intelligence report to be sent to Rome about the resurrection of Jesus. Here's where Dr. Black and I are joined at the hip: my intent is to establish the historicity of the Gospel of Mark in such a way that any rational, intellectually honest and morally anchore human being can drop kick asshole anti-theists like Richard Carrier and Richard Dawkins in their ideologically puffed up balls and through the goal posts of their own asshole pretzel logic.

Dr. Black has all the same peices I do, but, because he was scared shitless of going to Vietnam and then the military gunned down the 4 students at Kent State scared all the white anti-war draft dodgers shitless after the celebration of the end of was at Woodstock which turned into rage, hie has a blind spot about the Romans because,. One, they've always been the bad guys lurking behind the scene and, two, the Romans in the first century until the Milvian Bridge in the 4rh century went to a great deal of trouble keep their existence in the Praetorian Guard and the Legions a secret, or hiding it in plain sight with the Cult of Murtha and the associated Caesar Worship, with it's baptism in blood.

The Roman military had absolutely no expectation of anything like the Resurrection. None. I mean, there were all sorts of stories floating around in their mythos about “the gods” in pretty much the same way the stories about Batman and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, but a story about a god who is born of woman, creates the structures of an army composed of Gideons poise to crush the Romans in Galilee, like they did the 12th Legion of Cestius Gallus in 68, but has the more important mission of being truly crucified, USDA Caesar Tiberius Guaranteed, stuck a fork into Him to make sure he was dead, and buried behind a stone requiring 17 men, a centurion and a corporal's guard of 2 squads of 16 men to roll into place.

And up from the grave He arose! This just wasn't in the Roman field manuals, anywhere, so they began to study it.

It so happens, they had already collected a great deal of data about Jesus as a routine surveillance detail when He popped up over the Roman military horizon as a potential insurgent aligned with John the Baptist. Sometime around 27, before John is arrested and they continued this surveillance with decreasing interest until He is remanded to Pilate by a Jewish lynch mob composed of all the A-List citizens of Jerusalem demanding his execution. All that spy product is the initial material contained in Q and Cornelius, the centurion in Acts 10, is Pilate's administrative chief of staff and the curator for Q from it's implementation as a subject of force protection by the Roman intelligence services in Palestine.

Go back the 19 minute time stamp when Dr. Black is describing the stenographic nature of the prose style of the Gospel: the presence of the historic present is the transcribed report of a spy from the field, the raw intelligence of intelligence spy craft arranged along a meticulous and rigorous timeline exactly like the log of a ship or the book of a police desk sergeant. This is scientifically based observation for evaluation somewhere up the chain of command to squeeze out the military/political implications of all things under their purview. As Luke observes in Acts 24:22, Felix knew all about The Way long before Paul washed up from Jerusalem at his feet.

And it began with Cornelius and Q. Theophilus is the spy master in the Praetorian Guard both Pilate and Cornelius report to regarding military intelligence. Theophilus has the same organizational role in the Praetorian Guard that George Smiley has in MI6: he's not M, but he M is his first report, and M speaks to the Emperor. In particular, Tiberius. Until 31, Sejanus is M in the Praetorian Guard, so it's not clear if Sejanus would have choked off the initial intelligence report that compelled Tiberius to propose to the Senate that Jesus be elevated to the status of a legal deity or not, but the timing is such that, if Jesus had died on the Passover in 31, the news of His Resurrection could have moved, unfettered, to Tiberius as early as that year.

For numerological reasons, I like 33 better but only by a hair over 31 CE as the year it all got started.

But the important thing is, Tiberius made his Jesus proposal after, or during, the purge of Sejanus and, as a consequence, the Senate was forever after hostile to all things Tiberius, especially Christians, which is why they went underground. If you notice, the only connection Cornelius makes with Jesus is by naming Jairus, who was president of the Capernaum synagogue. Cornelius knew Jesus, personally, and was justified by faith in Matthew 8:10. And Cornelius was in the room with Pilate during the interrogation of Jesus.

Why didn't Cornelius intercede, then, you may ask. It has to do with Romans 13:1 – 7 and the spirit that fulfills the letter of the law. It has to do with the dramatic tension of “A Man for All Seasons”. It has to do with why Mitt Romney voted to convict and Socrates took the cup and Jesus died on the cross. It's why I went to Vietnam and why I left the army. The rule of law, duty and the sworn oath. That's the basis of the absolution of Luke 23:34.

The letter to the Hebrews is an intelligence finding, to return to the theme of a case study in generic intelligence risk assessment. Q stayed in Caesarea and was possibly destroyed during the Jewish Wars, but Theophilus assembled a mirror, and complimentary, portfolio in Rome to study just what it all meant. Paul's role was to defend the ethic of Jesus in Rome to Theophilus and his committee/church, which he, Paul, does successfully. Unlike Athens, where he was preaching to philosophers. Paul is preaching to students of philosophy in the Roman equestrian class: their whole success was as early adopters and they already believed in Romans 13: 1 – 7, but the missing link was Melchizedek and the offering of bread and wine and that closes the loop of Moses with Socrates, Plato and Aristotle.

Everything in the Gospels begins moving to Rome when Jesus is remanded to Pilate. Dr. Black is almost right about the relationship between Mark and the Gospel of John. John Mark is the publisher, editor, character and probable translator of the original Latin of the autograph to the coine Greek of the final version and John Mark is also the author of the Gospel of John. John Mark is the “beloved disciple” of the Gospel of John is probably 14 years old when he is witness to the Roman coup-de-grace on the cross. He is something of a mascot, a Junior Disciple, who first meets Jesus at the wedding in Cana something after Jesus is baptized, and travels around with Jesus and his crew from about that time until after the feeding of the 5000, which occurs just before the Passover the year before Easter and sometime just after John the Baptist is beheaded in 29. John Mark's chronology is not entirely reliable, but the narratives of Mark and John converge in both Gospels in Chapter 6 and diverge until they converge in Chapter 11. The Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem happens in the morning of Palm Sunday and Lazarus is raised from the dead in the late afternoon in Bethany. John Mark was in Bethany for both the Triumphal Entry and the Scourging of the Temple.

The Gospel of John is a complimentary reader to Mark and originates from the perspective of someone for whom Passover was like Christmas while the Synoptic Gospels treat Passover as an annual issue of crowd control. The anointing of Jesus is a coronation in Mark but a particularly erotic celebration in John of the Bridegroom that is an allusion to Ruth at the feet of Boaz, her redeemer. This is the best case to be made that Jesus had a wife, but He died a virgin.

Matthew is undoubtedly written by Matthew Levi and is the outlier to the other Gospels in that, as Dr. Black observes, is a polemic for the Judaizers who opposed Paul's missionary to the Gentiles. Luke is making an obvious reference to Matthew's Gospel in the preamble to Luke where the transliteration is that he. Luke, is correcting what Matthew fucked up.

Luke probably started Acts as an amicus brief for Paul's defense of Romans, but Theophilus commissioned him to expand his study after he, Luke, is introduced to Cornelius and given access to Q. It is obvious that both Mark and Matthew are available to Luke when he follows Paul to Caesarea and, based on an observation in David Sloan's “What if the Gospel according to Hebrews is Q”, Luke had Mark to begin with (he notices that Luke 3:1 introduces John the Baptist like the beginning of Mark after introducing him as the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth in Luke 1).

That's not all, but here's a little more numerology for you to consider: the 13 Epistles of Paul being with the longest and narrows to the shortest like an arrow pointing at Hebrews, which has 13 chapters, which were added in the 16th century, as you have pointed out in another video.

Dr. Black has all the pieces and, if you add Richard Bauchman's eyewitness in the Gospels to the mix, and rearrange the pieces around his fear of going to Vietnam, it all leads to the nature of the canon and removes most of the mystery to fully reveal the historicity of the Mystery of the Resurrection in the eyes of the Romans back in the day.

Realistic AU

The Definition of Perpetual Motion by elsewhere-kels

http://elsewhere-kels.livejournal.com/44887.html#cutid1

Doctor!Cas

Summary: Dean Winchester was doing all right. He had a good job, a few friends, and all the people he loved were safe. He got by. Then he got a call from Sam in the middle of the night. Sam wasn’t all right, and it turned out he hadn’t been for a long time. Dean’s little brother had no memory of the last four years of his life and only pieces of years before that, and all Dean could think of was how he’d smiled as he waved Sam-who-wasn’t-Sam off to college. Sam didn’t want to take over Dean’s life, but he didn’t know where else to turn. Dr. Castiel Novak was “a bleeding heart” and he was beginning to realize that neither of the brothers had gotten through their experiences unscathed.

12 Steps by gedry http://gedry.livejournal.com/70245.html Summary: The 12 Steps tell you to keep it simple, but Dean Winchester has never been good at keeping anything simple. So, with the help and support of the core people in his life he’s giving sobriety his best shot, which even on a good day is a struggle. But as he works at it he makes progress and starts to rediscover himself, and maybe find love with the new guy next door.

Precious by clueless_psycho http://clueless-psycho.livejournal.com/771975.html#cutid1

Soldier!Dean

Summary: Dean, Kubrick, Jake and Ash were US Special Force members stationed in Afghanistan. An attack got them separated from the basecamp and lost in the mountainous area. They came across a house, kept by Castiel who fed them, let them stay the night and tended Jake’s wound. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary until Kubrick was found dead upon leaving the house.

It's Only Love We're Falling In by zeppx **** http://zeppx.livejournal.com/32465.html

Nurse!Cas, enemies to lovers

Summary: Human AU. Castiel is a nurse. Dean isn’t a very pleasant person. Castiel and Dean don’t get along at first, then, naturally, like in most romantic comedies, things happen. Like unwillingly falling in love.

Close to Broken by darkforetold https://darkforetold.livejournal.com/6655.html

Hitman!Cas

Summary: It is 1932. Castiel, the adopted son, serves as the Sant’Angelo crime family’s hitman, a ruthless soldier who kills indiscriminately without questions. It is only when Castiel is contracted to kill Dean Winchester, his childhood obsession, that his world is torn asunder. Suddenly, in the face of the man he once loved, Castiel begins to doubt himself and nothing can prepare him for how quickly everything seems to fall apart.

Always with you by DeanaWinchester http://archiveofourown.org/works/261950/chapters/410182

Stableman!Dean, Horse trainer!Dean, Lawyer!Cas

Summary: A fairytale for adults about people, horses and the important things in life. When Dean, a stableman and horse trainer and Castiel, the top-notch lawyer with issues meet, sparks fly. Castiel comes to the estate to take a pause from his everyday life, and possibly turn it into a different direction. Meeting Dean and falling in love with him turns it completely upside down, but Castiel doesn’t mind it one bit.

A Better Method of Pretending by ricketyhands http://ricketyhands.livejournal.com/5067.html

Journalist!Cas, Dean Smith

Summary: Dean is young and a hard worker living in shitty place near Cleveland, with one plan - to get his boss's job. When the possibility is complicated by a journalist by the name of Castiel, Dean has to learn to work with the writer and make nice. Of course things get complicated and Dean isn't sure to balance how he feels about work, this relationship, his best friend Sam, and how Castiel is kind of an enigma, though every time they get closer his barriers seem to weaken. But where does Cas draw the line, and how does Dean figure out what the hell he wants?

Convictions by gedry http://gedry.livejournal.com/224287.html

Thief!Dean

Summary: Dean makes a living in high class home invasion. Dean's careful, he never wanted anyone to get hurt. But when he discovers Castiel still at home while he and his team are robbing the house everything changes. Dean pays the price for his misdeeds but somehow, along the way, he manages to make a friend out of Castiel. A man still struggling with his own kind of incarceration. Their relationship offers Dean some comfort, but once he's done serving his time questions still remain. Are they friends, or something more? Can they make a life together out of the ashes of their old ones, or are they both still serving their sentences?

A Drop in the Ocean, a Change in the Weather by 9_of_clubs http://9-of-clubs.livejournal.com/35243.html

Titanic fusion

Summary: Titanic AU/fusion - For Dean Winchester, the Titanic is nothing more than a way to get to his brother in America. For Castiel, it's the ship that's taking him away from his childhood home, and everything he's ever known, to start a new life across the ocean. Neither of them ever expected to fall in love on this trip, but sometimes fate is stronger than expectation. Still it's no easy journey, not while they're separated by class, not while Cas is in love with someone else, and certainly not while the floor is sinking underneath their feet.

Things I should have known by wolfrider89 http://wolfrider89.livejournal.com/74031.html

Mr. & Mrs. Smith fusion

Summary: Castiel Novak has managed to keep his personal life with Dean Smith separate from his professional life as a secret agent for three years. He expected to continue living a series of detestable but necessary lies cloaked in precarious alibis for the rest of his life, and then his new assignment threatened to throw all of that out the window: Kill Dean Winchester.

Mon Mercenaire by knut_the_kitten http://knut-the-kitten.livejournal.com/2435.html#cutid1

Summary: Mercenaries AU. Dean drifts through life, changing job and country every few months, on the run from his past as a mercenary leader. When war, blood and betrayal catch up, old obligations compel him to get back to hell; in his shadow walks Castiel, the man sent to bring him back. After serving half his life in the Foreign Legion, Castiel knows nothing but obedience; yet as his loyalties falter he offers Dean a chance at redemption.

Mr. Know-It-All by baba_o_reily http://baba-writes.livejournal.com/8003.html

Journalist!Cas, Photographer!Dean

Summary: 1964. Castiel thinks he's got a good enough life--he's married to the greatest girl in the world and he's got a great job writing for the San Francisco Chronicle. Everything is exactly as it should be and he's pretty sure he's happy. Which is, of course, when a new photographer named Dean comes along throw a great big wrench in the cogs.

Trying to Describe the Kingdom by miscellanium http://writingidk.livejournal.com/8592.html#cutid1

Summary: In the year 1944, after their father dies, Dean and Sam are left with the remains of his infantry team deep among the forests and rivers of France where it can be hard to find a way out. Supplies are running low, Axis forces are pressing in all around, and there's a plane following them. The question of whether the pilot is friend or foe is answered when he crashes, saving Dean from an ambush, and now Dean has a choice to make. He can help Castiel and his brother get back to Switzerland, or he can press on with his father's covert mission, worries about Sam's loyalty aside—or he can go home.

We Became the Gravel Beaneath the Tires by noellabear http://noellabear.livejournal.com/13744.html

Summary: College!AU in which Dean hasn't seen Sam in months- or heard from him in weeks. It's hard staying in touch when Dean lives across the country and his brother's a genius studying law, but he'd be lying if he said he didn't miss the stupid Sasquatch. Cas, who's tired of his cookie-cutter lifestyle and is Dean's best friend/roommate, sees it as a perfect opportunity for a road trip. Despite Dean thinking Castiel has gone absolutely insane, they embark on a journey across the United States- the road a catalyst for finding things in themselves and each other. Crappy motel rooms, roadside diners, and cigarettes, become the perfect mix for falling in love, but roads aren't complete with twists and turns, and cheap wine on a warm, spring night might not have been such a great idea.

Drop Your Expectations (And Your Pants) by trickylady http://archiveofourown.org/works/543095

Summary: This is the story of how Dean fell in love with his brother's boyfriend, and how Sam let Dean have this one thing he wouldn't ask for.

Cheeseburgers and Pie by kenzigoss http://kenzigoss.livejournal.com/1594.html

Summary: Not only does Dean Winchester have to finally man up and go to college, but he has to deal with a strange roommate, Castiel Novak. Things get easier for Dean as he befriends Castiel and realizes that maybe he's cut out of this college life afterall. When tragedy rips the two apart, and fate brings them together agian after ten years, it's up to Castiel to see if time heals all wounds.

Between Want and Need by Padapuppy http://archiveofourown.org/works/551610/chapters/982758

Summary: Castiel's life is in shambles, but he's got control over it. The sex, the drugs, it's all he's got, all he knows. Everything is about control for him, getting what he needs, putting wants aside. It's not until he meets Dean that he realizes that control might be overrated. He's going to have to suffer a loss to finally get where he needs to be, and he'll get out better than okay. Things don't go easy from there. He's faced with a decision and he'll have to figure out if what he wants is more important than what he needs.

Adolescence at an All-Male Boarding School by signe_chan http://signe-chan.livejournal.com/39413.html

Summary: Dean doesn't want to go to a stupid boarding school. Sam loves the stupid boarding school.

Show Me How To Love (And I'll Show You How To Live) by slutpunk http://archiveofourown.org/works/542024/chapters/963484

Summary: Dean's broken and he's 95% sure he's always been broken. He's a Fed because he used to believe it would do some good and now? He's not so sure. Castiel knows he's broken and he can't be fixed. He does as he's told, kills who his uncle tells him to kill, and pretends that the nightmares don't wake him up anymore. But they find some solace, some peace in each other, until the day it all comes crashing down.

Hymns of Angels Sound Like This by bodiesnotourown and azimmermann http://bodiesnotourown.livejournal.com/2519.html

Summary: Dean is a new student, Castiel Milton and family have a band. Castiel is in a relationship he hides from his family, but starts to fall for Dean when they meet at a concert. Angst ensues, interrupted by the antics of the Milton kids who can’t mind their own business and trouble that seeks to destroy what they have before it can get off the ground.

Humble Pie by The Homeless Poet (orphan_account) http://archiveofourown.org/works/528214/chapters/935480

Summary: Sam and Dean Winchester are professional lawbreakers and criminals. That being said, they're awfully good at minding their own business and staying out of trouble. That is, until they're landed with an escaped slave and what might just be the story of their lives. On the run and with enemies on every side, all Dean can think about is finding a way to keep his brother safe and get the cops off his tail. But things are never that easy, and this particular complication is one of the heart, and comes ready-packaged with a pair of very blue eyes...

As The Sparrow by hubrisandwax http://archiveofourown.org/works/1035865?view_adult=true

Summary: It’s 1947. Dean is an ex-marine fighting crime and a very different sort of war to the one he faced in the Pacific as a detective on the streets of LA. This city isn’t all the glitz and glamor it’s made out to be, however, and Dean finds himself tugged in to a world of life-threatening unknowns when Daphne Novak’s body is discovered. Castiel Novak, her husband, was one of Dean’s battalion mates in the war, and he's just as deadly and dangerous as he was two years ago when he saved Dean’s life during the Battle of Okinawa. Except now he’s wanted for his wife’s murder, and Dean just doesn’t believe Cas is capable of that. Is Cas really who he says he is, though? And what will Dean have to sacrifice in order to repay the debt he feels he owes?

Big Machine by anubis-s-j http://anubis-s-j.livejournal.com/22846.html

Summary: Dean Smith is an intelligent, successful businessman who is perfectly content with his life the way it is. That is, until he meets Castiel Novak. Castiel is strange and unlike anyone Dean has ever met before, but he can't help but be drawn to him.

Death doesn't have to be a lonely business. by ladyrocketdale (Maiucha) http://archiveofourown.org/works/1036502

Summary: Dean Winchester's life went downhill in a year, or, actually, more than ten years ago when his family was taken away from him. He's ready to continue living hiding on the streets, faceless and forgotten as many others; but Castiel Novak finds him, contacts him and offers him a way back to life and, maybe, to himself.

Or Something by ScarletPhoenix http://archiveofourown.org/works/997876

Summary: The past year of Castiel Novak's life is definitely the worst. His brother dies, leaving him with custody of his young niece, Claire, prompting his long term boyfriend to leave him. But everything starts looking up when he moves in next door to single father, Dean Winchester.

A Song For Coming Home by ourdivineashes http://archiveofourown.org/works/1044572

Summary: Ten years ago, Dean was left devastated by the sudden departure of his best friend, after he confessed that he felt something more than friendship for Cas. Now, with a decade of bitterness and anger built up inside of him, Dean is surprised to find his old friend returned to their small farming town. Cas says that he is here to make amends, but Dean is unsure. With storms rolling in, Dean struggles with holding onto his anger, or letting go and letting Cas back into his life.
