Summary
The year is 1994: Mortal Kombat II is the best-selling arcade game, All-4-One are at the top of the charts, and grunge dies with Kurt Cobain. It’s also the year that Dean Winchester gets drafted to the biggest and most important professional wrestling organization in American history — the World Wrestling Federation. Rising quickly up the card thanks to his in-ring talent, mic-ability, and charisma, there’s only one thing standing in Dean’s way of becoming number one on the roster: Castiel Krushnic. Technically proficient and universally respected, Krushnic seems to hate Dean from their very first meeting for reasons that Dean can’t fathom, but sets about picking apart through outlandish and attention-seeking behavior.
It works. Pretty soon, Krushnic’s paying way too much attention and their fierce rivalry ends up sparking a passionate, toxic affair that burns bright and hot, and oh-so dangerous. Egos and obsessions get in the way of true happiness though, and combined with Dean’s escalating drug abuse, it sees the two of them struggling to keep themselves together and whole. After an inciting incident, they hit breaking point, resulting in betrayal, broken hearts, and career-ending injuries.

Summary
Dean Winchester was always destined for the Olympics. Granted, his dad had hoped for a traditionally masculine sport, but as figure skating goes, Dean lifting and twirling a (female) partner across the ice is as close as it gets.
It’s also as close as Dean is gonna get to the things he privately hungers for. He gets to skate. He gets to compete on an international level. He even gets to be out as bisexual. So what if he doesn’t get to be the one soaring over the ice from a partner’s hands? It’s like a compromise. Or like having a brownie that’s made from black beans. It’s better than nothing, even if it doesn’t exactly get you all the way there.
But then rules change and all that’s missing is a certain Olympic champion with dreams of his own.

Summary
The constant moving around and general lack of real connections were never great. But being stranded in Lawrence, forced to stay in place until his dad comes for him, is worse. Especially once someone starts hunting him.
Going to the police is in every conceivable way a terrible plan. Accepting personal help from a severely overinvolved cop is quite possibly an even worse one. Above all because Dean is up to his neck in illicit activities and police-related trauma. But maybe, just once, it would be nice to have someone look out for him.

Summary
Dean and Castiel have been together for nearly two years at this point, and for that entire time, things have been… interesting, but Castiel bringing Dean with him on a business trip and using it as a frame for doing a whole elaborate role-playing scenario is new.
They have already dabbled in it a little. Along with the gifts and flowers, Castiel is the one paying for his clothes, his car and his general upkeep. They don’t usually lean into it, but it does add an edge to their predilection for power play; adding a dynamic of Castiel paying for Dean’s lifestyle, and Dean in turn providing Castiel with a good time.
Tonight they’re leaning all the way in.
