Summary
There is no such thing as a guarantee when it comes to war.
The outcome's known. Why try?
Return your rusty sword to battered sheath,
bow your head and bend your stubborn knee. Why
take the field when you cannot win the war?
But Harry -- he went down to Agincourt.

Summary
“Mr. Winchester, Mr. Winchester!” Jay called, waving her hands in the air. The kid was certainly a shit disturber.
“Jay? Hey, kiddo!” the man said, Castiel looking away as the man approached, hoping to God he wouldn’t be who Castiel thought he was.
“Ben? Who’s this?” he asked.
“New teacher,” Ben grumbled.
“His name is Mr. Novak!” Jay shouted excitedly. There was a beat of dead silence, neither of the men speaking a single word.
“Mr. Novak?” he asked. Castiel didn’t turn his head. He knew that voice. He had tried desperately to block it out, but it was there. Deeper, but there. Castiel swallowed loudly, finally looking over, blue eyes meeting green for the first time in over a decade. He was there. Older, but there. Gruffer, but there. More tired, but most definitely there.
It was undoubtedly Dean Winchester, standing before him with as shocked a look as Castiel’s.

Summary
What begins as a transforming love between Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak in the summer of 1965 quickly derails into something far more tumultuous when Dean is drafted in the Vietnam War. Though the two both voice their relationship is one where saying goodbye is never a real truth, their story becomes fraught with the tragedy of circumstance. In an era where homosexuality was especially vulnerable, Twist and Shout is the story of the love transcending time, returning over and over in its many forms, as faithful as the sea.

Summary
Castiel Novak is used to change. He's used to being the new kid in school. So when he moves with his family to the small town of Rail Pass, he doesn't expect things to be much different than the last three towns.
But then he meets Dean Winchester, an aggressive fellow student who sees Castiel as the shiny new toy he and his friends get to mess with. Castiel has had his fair share of bullies in the past, but nothing like this. He's never felt this way about a bully, or anyone for that matter, before. Maybe something's wrong with him, that he could feel so attracted to someone who makes his everyday life hell.
But then again, he sees the way Dean looks at him sometimes. And there's a lot more to Dean Winchester than meets the eye.- Language:
