    Summary

    "A... deer hit it." Castiel stared at the damage. The car looked worse than he recalled. Like it had been hit with hammers, the front of it bent and broken.

    "I keep telling people it's only a matter of time before they pick up semi-automatics," Dean muttered, circling the car, eyes panning over it intently.

    Castiel couldn't tell if the mechanic had gotten the message to keep this to himself. He narrowed his eyes, trailing after the mechanic, inhaling more. "Deer can't shoot."

    Or

    Ruthless mob enforcer Castiel meets a shady omega mechanic and loses the plot.

    Summary

    It seemed like it was going to be just another crappy night for Dean Winchester, stuck working the front desk at his father's garage thanks to antiquated ideas of Omegas lacking mechanic skills. That was until a gorgeous car driven by an even more gorgeous Alpha pulls up needing a new battery.

    Before he knows it Dean's whole life starts to change and Castiel Novak (or at least that's the name he's given) is much more than meets the eye.

    Summary

    I was gonna die young. Now I gotta wait for you.

    - + -

    Sometime between finishing his master's degree and starting his new teaching job in upstate New York, Castiel had given up on pursuing any type of committed relationship. He may have grasped how humans interacted and formed social bonds in a theoretical or academic sense, but that was a far cry from actually understanding how to put that knowledge into practice. Dean, thankfully, seemed to be on the same page. For the first time in a long time, he had a good thing going for him. He was living somewhere other than his car, had enough side hustles to put a bit of extra money in his pocket, and had sworn he wouldn't let himself catch feelings for a hook-up ever again.

    That goes about as well as expected.

    On the very first time that Castiel manifests in front of Father Dean Winchester, he gets as far as "Rejoice, for you are blessed-" before Dean shoots him with a salt-loaded shotgun.
