...and not a second rate version of someone else. When Dean finds Castiel standing on the wrong side of the bridge railing in the pouring rain, he takes him home. What starts out as a friendship born of loneliness and desperation grows into something more as they are drawn closer to each other over time, and slowly help each other to mend.

Childhood best friends Dean and Castiel dreamed of growing up and leaving their small, rural West Virginia town. Dean wanted to change the world; Cas just wanted desperately to escape. When an selfless but impulsive decision comes at the expense of Castiel's dreams, long-kept secrets threaten to pull them apart for good.

Castiel's ex-lover, Michael, had destroyed everything. But after a four year campaign of stalking, Michael is finally in prison and Castiel Novak is free to rebuild his life again. For the first time in a long time, Castiel is not living under a pseudonym. And then Dean Winchester happened. (Destiel).

Reconciling and coming to terms with each other was a long process, but finally Dean and Castiel have restored their mutual trust and are ready to scene again - just in time to meet up in Dallas for the trial. (uhh...I have no idea how to summarize this) (See Chapter 1 Author's note for warnings, etc.) (Last story of SextersAnon verse)

The morning after his scene with Dean, Castiel wakes up to the realization that he has made a massive mistake. A sequel to SextersAnondotcom.

The one thing he wants and doesn't have is the one thing he cannot allow himself: a relationship. He can't trust himself with other people, he gets too involved, puts the relationship before *anything*. Rather than risk it, he turns to SextersAnondotcom.
