When the possibility is complicated by a journalist by the name of Castiel, Dean has to learn to work with the writer and make nice. Of course things get complicated and Dean isn't sure to balance how he feels about work, this relationship, his best friend Sam, and how Castiel is kind of an enigma, though every time they get closer his barriers seem to weaken. But where does Cas draw the line, and how does Dean figure out what the hell he wants?

Beware: The fanmix/art includes spoilers for the fic!
I just want someone to say to me
I'll always be there when you wake
Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today,
so stay with me and I'll have it made.
(Blind Melon)
You are too beautiful to fuck,
you're too beautiful.
Slice my eyes,
took me through another night that goes all night through.
(Kevin Drew)
Can you pretend I'm amazing?
I can pretend I'm amazing...
Instead of what we both know
(Blue October)
Remember us.
Skin across my skin.
Do you feel it now?
Darling, do you know me now?
In this remembering.
(Aqualung)
Woe is me,
faithless you and selfish me,
I will leave a key for you outside my doorway.
