After defeating Chuck, the Winchesters decide to take a vacation with all their friends... and what better destination than a lakeside cabin owned by the Men of Letters?
Or; the one where Dean, Claire, and Jack all take an unwitting dip in the fountain of youth.

A new town with a new identity every week, or if they were lucky, a month. That had been Dean and John’s life ever since Alastair forced the omega into a mating. In the eyes of the law, Dean was Alastair’s, and the only thing that could get him out of it was if Dean found his soulmate. However, he didn’t need another abusive alpha chasing after him. Luckily, Dean hadn’t run into his soulmate and he and his dad have been doing just fine for a life on the run. Until they got a little too comfortable and Alastair’s employees surprised them. Separated from his dad with very little money and barely any blockers left, Dean was screwed. Things couldn’t get worse, oh wait, they could when he runs into his soulmate.
Finding your soulmate was like finding a needle in a haystack. It was possible, it happened, but Castiel knew of people who went their whole lives never finding their soulmate. So why bother putting much thought into it? That was how the alpha felt until he went to stop a group of alphas from attacking an omega and woke up with a soul mark on his bicep. With his soulmate nowhere in sight, Castiel knew it was a race against the clock to find the omega before it was too late.

Summary
Set four months after the tumultuous start to their relationship, Cas finds himself settled comfortably next to his boyfriend Dean in the Impala on the way to the hunting trip. The crisp mountain air and frost-lined trees offer a stark contrast to the warmth of their shared affection — not to mention the easily-stoked fires of their passion. Despite their closeness, or perhaps because of it, Cas can’t help but feel that Dean isn’t telling him the whole truth about what lies at the end of their journey.

Artist Statement
Castiel came off the belt with a crack in his chassis. But when he came to earth, he learned that not all things broken are devoid of beauty. And when he turned away from heaven, he started his journey anew. Broken cogs spoke to him on a deeper level and from that one time on earth where his vessel wore a pretty dress, he's loved hats and waistcoats. So he made himself both and adorned them with all the broken pieces he could find.
In college, the word around the campus was that Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak were inseparable.
You wouldn't find one without the other's shadow hovering over them.
Everything either of them did, every little thought one of them thought of was known to the other... well, almost everything anyway.
It's fifteen Years later, gives or take, and you can't even breathe the name of one of them in the presence of the other.
It's too painful, too much. It's a history of a complicated web of feelings and misunderstands that were left unaddressed for so long with neither of them daring to poke at it.
It takes one video long since been recorded, a mischievous eight-year-old, his cunning older cousin, and a host of family and friends who had exhausted themselves trying to get these two best friends back into each other's lives for Dean and Castiel to even get into the same space at the same time again.
A summer camp, a basketball court, and a beloved early 00s teen show may be involved.

“Would you like me to stay, bud?” Uncle Jimmy asks, quiet and soft.
Besides him, Claire doesn't move a muscle.
Jack worries his lips and gives the question a minute, thinking it over.
It’s not like he didn’t expect the question. He was even waiting for it.
It’s been the same every year since forever. Uncle Jimmy was the one his mom assigned to the very important task, Uncle Jimmy’s words not Jack’s, of delivering the videos to Jack each year on his birthday for the last eight years of his life.
Last year Jack mastered enough bravery to begin the video alone but he soon cried out for his uncle who came tripping over his feet and Jack stayed cuddled to his side, the video frozen on the unmoving screen until Jack felt brave again.
Right now Jack doesn’t know if he’s sure.
Still, Jack looks up into his uncle’s patient eyes and nods once.
“Alright, kiddos. I’ll be in the garden out back finishing up a few things on the phone before Amelia comes back with half the store.” Uncle Jimmy says as he stands up, “If you need anything just give me a shout, ‘kay?”
After seeing their twin nods Uncle Jimmy ruffles their hair and drops a kiss on each of their heads before his out of the closed pinto door opening it before working outside and sliding the door back shut They both stare at his tail until they hear the lock clicking before either of them speaks.
“Want me to leave?” Claire offers.Without permission, Jack’s hand shoots out to grab her. “No stay. please.”
“Sure thing, jackie bean.” Claire says, smiling reassuringly at him.
Then she untangles his hand off of her wrist and just… holds on to it. Steady and strong.
Jack takes a deep breath and then releases it slowly, the way his dad taught him.
“‘Kay.” he says into the air.
Claire squeezes his hand once.
“Yeah?”
He nods.
She nudges him gently, “Okay, let’s do this.”
**
On the screen, his mama’s eyes glint with mischief.
“So, I know that I can tell you what I'm about to tell you and be sure that you’ll get it.” she stops in what Jack knows must be to add a dramatic edge to what she would say next. He knows her like that. It’s only for a breath but it’s effective because when she continues it gets her captive audience at the edge of their seats. She says, “I'm going to tell you a story. A love story. Your daddy’s love story.” For two different reasons both Jack and Claire gasp.
Wide-eyed, their eyes lock with each other, then back at the screen before they lock eyes once again. Identical twin smiles grow, taking over their faces as they eagerly wait for what tale Kelly Kline will spine.
Whatever it is, they know it’s going to be good.
“But before that,” his mommy chuckles, shoulder-length hair flying around her face as she shakes her head. “I first need to tell you all about his very best friend in the whole wild world. I’m going to tell you about Dean Winchester.”

Summary
In a world where you are impervious to harm until you find your soulmate, being alone sucks. Cas should know, because he's been around for 5000 years. He doesn't even need the connection to his soulmate to be something romantic. Just having that deep soulmate connection with a friend would be enough.He doesn't expect to find a stranger in a barn to make him suddenly vulnerable in more ways than one.
When Anna decided to fall, she did it because she saw the corruption of her own kind.
When she decided to retake her grace, it was because she wanted to help the humans.
One thing she never expected was to find a demon fighting on the side of humans as well.
The first time they kissed, Anna felt her entire body light up. She had never experienced anything like it, and all she wanted was more. Turned out, Meg had so much more to show her.
