Dresden Files AU: Dean is a warlock who tries to make ends meet in whatever way he can, whether it's through his magic shop or through consulting jobs with his brother Sam, a detective in the Paranormal Investigations Unit of the Chicago PD. After a sharp rise in the crime rate and a series of strange robberies, the PIU gets a new member, Castiel Novak, and there's more to this wei

Their apartment was a one-bedroom walk up, true, but that wasn't the point.
