When a mysterious blight devastates the kingdom of Celestine’s farms, it allies with its neighbor through a trade treaty: Americana will send food north, and Celestine will send its youngest prince Castiel south to wed the American heir, Dean. It’s not love at first sight, but that turns out to be the least of their worries. From culture shock and misunderstandings to conspiracies and assassination attempts, the two princes have a lot to overcome before they can try for a happily ever after.

Dean’s been in love with his best friend ever since he was a six-year-old kid with a constantly muddy face, and Cas was an eight-year-old fledgling with constantly unruly wings. Nothing much has changed since childhood, except Dean’s finally ready to confess his feelings to Cas.

And then Cas announces that he’s getting married.

Title: Go Down With This Ship Author: PorcupineGirl Artist: HorrorFemme Rating: Explicit Length: 31K Pairings: Dean/Cas Warnings: None Trope list: Epistolary, Internet Romance, Endverse!Cas, Two Person Love Triangle

Summary:

Since he has to stay deep in the closet to protect his job as a children’s librarian in conservative Wichita, Kansas, Dean’s main outlet for sexual frustration is writing and reading slash fiction for his favorite show, Devil Boys. When he starts corresponding with AngelofThursday, another male slash writer in his ship, he really is just looking for friendship… but when it seems like more might be on the table, he’s not going to turn it down. If only he didn’t also have a crush on Cas, the hot volunteer at his library branch…

Castiel is found wandering the desert, his memory completely gone, leaving the Winchesters to try to figure out what they can do to help. But when Dean discovers a way to not only restore, but to alter Castiel’s memories, he’s left with a choice: does he give Cas the truth, or a happier life?
