Dean Winchester started his day in seven easy steps.

Step one: Survive attack from a giant drool monster Step two: Shower and shave Step three: Suck down a cup of coffee while walking the drool monster to her favorite tree Step four: Feed and water the drool monster Step five: Have a balanced breakfast of microwaved egos, six medications, and two more cups of coffee Step six: Check his email and schedule for the day Step seven: Pack the pup and himself a hearty lunch and leave for work

In none of these steps did it say: meet your soul mate, hate them on sight and cause bodily harm…. and yet.

I know this is a reverse verse, but it works really well, I love it! Sassy librarian Dean meets grumpy mechanic Castiel... Enjoy 🖤

All the Substance of His House (ao3)

Aerlalaith (18,206; NC17)

Summary:  When Don't Ask Don't Tell is repealed, U.S. army veterans Dean and Castiel must each come to terms with it.

Comments: Not very long but still very rich. Dean and Cas are happy and domesticated when the news hits and they both have very different reactions to the news. I just love seeing them as a healthy couple dealing with issues stemming from outside their relationship.

Also get a glimpse of a big happy adopted family celebrating the holiday season together.
