    Summary

    Prison psychologist Castiel Novak was brought to the Bay for one reason and one reason only: to crack and dismantle the ruling mob cabal that's making life Hell behind bars for both inmates and staff alike. Prison politics, handshake deals, blackmail, and manipulation are only the beginning, although everything seems to circle back to one man—an innocuous sex worker named Dean Winchester. In the midst of doing his job, Castiel himself finds sucked into a world he wasn't prepared for and falling hard for the prisoner at the very center of all the chaos. Is Dean a pawn or a player or something else altogether? And what will Castiel risk giving up to find out?

    At the end of the day, Castiel's not the one behind bars, but he can't bring himself to leave—at least, not without Dean by his side. Whatever it takes to keep him there.

    Summary

    At thirty-five years old, Shy, bookish Castiel Novak always plays by the rules. And the rule is that shy, awkward men like him don’t get guys like confident, intelligent Mick, heir to Castiel’s heart since their College years. But Mick’s been in London for three years, and Cas has been reinventing himself so that when he returns, he’ll fall head over heels in love with the new him. So he’s not that interested in other men. Until his best friend Meg points out that if Cas wants Mick to think he’s an experienced love-god and not the awkward, skinny guy he left behind, then he’d better get some experience. What Cas needs is someone to show him the ropes, someone like Meg’s boss Dean Winchester. Cocky, and at the age of thirty-eight an eternal bachelor. And since he’s a self-proclaimed Equal opportunity lover and so not Castiel’s type, he certainly won’t fall for him. Because Dean just isn’t for him….right?

    Summary

    Briefly, Dean wants to scream because he knows the difference between a moat and a levy, he knows why he wants the rice, and he knows that Sammy will never understand because that’s why he did everything he did, dammit, so that Sammy wouldn’t want to hoard rice. But it’s easier, safer to let Sammy think that there’s nothing serious or weak about him. He's worked too long and too hard at molding this rendition of himself to give it up now. To reabsorb the girlish tendencies he’s been purging out of the shell he occupies.

    Hunger is one of the first parenting skills Dean learns for Sam. For Jack, he learns nourishment.
