Summary
CASTIEL, the Complex Artificial Symbolic and Tactile Intelligence capable of Emotional Learning, is a personal AI under development at The Sandover Corporation. In hopes of impressing the company’s leadership, Sam’s tech team spends the summer of 2032 installing CASTIELs in the homes of executives. Dean, a Senior Vice President of Marketing who happens to be Sam’s workaholic older brother, is one of those executives.
Though Dean starts out skeptical of personal AIs, he and CASTIEL soon become fast friends, and Dean begins developing a new marketing strategy for CASTIEL that emphasizes the bonds between machines and humans. But when the board of directors finally makes good on a threat to shutter the CASTIEL program permanently, Dean has to rely on all his skills as a marketer to get them to change course and save CASTIEL.

Summary
Castiel Shurley, pen name Castiel Novak, was once a confessional poetry wunderkind. Now, though, he’s 34 and hasn’t published a new collection in almost seven years. He can bemoan the vagaries of writer’s block and the challenges of parenting a teenage son while teaching full-time all he wants, but excuses aren’t going to impress his agent, his publisher, or his tenure committee. He’s in serious danger of becoming a washed-up literary fluke before even seeing middle age.
At the end of his rope, Castiel repairs to his sister Anna’s vacation home on Lake Pend Oreille, hoping a change of scenery will ungum his creative works. On one of their first trips into town, Jack strikes up a conversation in the parking lot of the local grocery store with the most beautiful man Castiel has ever seen, and that’s when Castiel feels it: his muse coming back after a half-decade of dormancy.
No matter what, he has to see this man again somehow. Too bad he has no idea who he is.

Summary
The Winchesters are hunters who subsist on the animals around their forest home. For as long as Dean can remember, they’ve been favored by Castiel, the God of the Hunt. They aren’t wealthy, but they’ve never gone hungry, and there’s even enough money for John to send Sam to school.
Lately, though, that’s been changing. They’re bringing in less and less game, and John says it’s because Castiel is displeased with them. His hunch is seemingly confirmed when Sam is abducted one day.
When Dean journeys to the Virgin Grove to plead for his brother’s life, however, Castiel informs him that Sam has in fact been taken by Lucifer, the God of the Dead, as part of an ancient settlement that maintains peace among the pantheon. A desperate Dean pledges his soul to Castiel if the Wild God helps him rescue Sam from his fate. Castiel accepts, and the two set out on an adventure that will change them both.

Summary
“Oh, for—” Sam ripped away the binoculars and tossed them to the floor of the Impala. “Look, do you like my brother?”
Castiel blinked. “Do I…like him?”
“Apparently, you told him you love him? The only reason I know is because he got drunk our first week back and let it slip.” Sam knotted his brows. “Do you like him?”
“If I love him, then it seems self-evident that I like him as well.” Castiel tilted his head. “What does this have to do with the vampire nest?”
“No, I’m asking if you, you know, like him. He thinks you love him in a ‘heavenly’ way. Not romantically.”
“Oh.”
Post-confession, Castiel has come to accept that Dean only thinks of him as a friend.Meanwhile, Dean's just been assuming that an angel could never love someone as fucked up as him in a romantic way.
The story of them finally using their words and getting together, told over three types of tea.

Summary
“Hello, Dean.”
Dean spun around. Amara had arrived right behind him, toting a dizzying polychromatic array of bags in both hands. She was wearing a cape—a literal cape—in shocking white. An ushanka in the same white was wearing her.
“Hey, there you are.” Dean snorted. “Why’re you dressed like Ivana Humpalot?”
“Who?”
“Uh, don’t worry about it. Just a friend of mine.”
