Warnings: brief mentions of attempted rape, violence, conversations about forcing someone into prostitution, non pairing character death, wing!fic, sexual content, angst, fluff.
Notes: Written for the Dean/CastielBigBang 2012. I had a lot of fun writing for this again and hope that I can do it every year to be honest. I'd like to thank my BFF Becky for being my cheerleader, Beta and everything in between! And my artist Ruby for her lovely banners! Anyway I hope you enjoy my story and thank you for reading! :)
Summary: Dean Winchester hadn’t lead an exciting life or a particularly good one but he’d always tried to do what was right, especially when it came to his little brother, even going so far as to take the blame for a crime he didn’t commit. Now with his brother a big shot at college and no prospects of his own, he takes a job from an eccentric man named Gabriel until he can get himself together. He meets and becomes fast friends with Castiel, a mysterious man with a dark troubling past.
But Dean and Castiel’s budding relationship is soon threatened by Dean’s commitments in California, and the arrival of a known gangster named Crowley, who’s determined to have Castiel as his own....as well as his wings.
