Summary
From the moment he left Kansas to enlist until the day he left the Navy, Dean wrote Cas letters. From the shores of Lake Michigan to the waves of California, sitting outside his shed in Afghanistan or on the bench of a C-17 flying home from a mission in the Middle East, Dean put pen to paper and wrote about loss and grief and how to make it through a decade without knowing if the man you still love so deeply is doing okay.
These are the letters that didn't make it into Patient Love with the 17 others, but that are still inherently important to Dean’s journey as a character pre and during Patient Love.

Summary
Philadelphia, 2020.
Dean Winchester has been working as a detective for years, and he’s tired. Bone-tired, burnt out and carrying the weight of an alcohol issue he refuses to acknowledge. He’s also a husband and a father to 3 kids, even though lately he’s been forgetting that part.
Castiel Novak has been an attorney for the better part of the last decade, and Dean’s husband for 15 years. And he’s tired—tired of carrying the weight of his family on his own; tired of fighting so his marriage doesn’t crumble.
It all comes to a head when Marla Ashford’s case explodes: she's a candidate for the next mayoral campaign, and when her deputy fundraiser is killed, she asks Cas to defend her. Unfortunately, Dean is the lead detective on the case… And neither of them plans on letting go.
Between arguments, kids being way too perceptive, and Dean’s issues with alcohol, what could go wrong?
This is a story about a family fighting to stay whole while the world explodes around them; a high-stakes domestic drama and legal thriller rolled into one. One where Dean’s fight with alcohol becomes the center of everything, and they could lose it all.
Can they make it to the end of the line together?

Summary
Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak used to be inseparable. Not just high school best friends, but the kind of soul-deep, ride-or-die connection fueled through their mutual love for music that felt like it could outlast anything. Near the end of their senior year, though, something happened that irrevocably broke them apart.
Ten years later, Dean owns a cozy little record store in downtown Lawrence, Kansas, has a dog he'd die for, and hasn't seen or heard from Cas since graduation. He’s made peace with the silence. Or so he thinks, until a familiar figure moves into the long-vacant house across the street.
Castiel Novak has spent the last ten years flying standby and building a life he can live with. It's not glamorous, but it's stable: quiet nights, early flights, and a cat who doesn’t ask too many questions. When he moves back to his hometown to be closer to family, he’s not expecting the past to be waiting for him at the end of the driveway.
Especially not in the shape of Dean Winchester.

Summary
Castiel Novak is 27 when he suddenly loses his twin brother Jimmy, and his whole world turns to ashes. How do you deal with losing half of yourself when your whole life always revolved around the two of you, like yin and yang and black and white? How do you deal with a broken soul and old demons looming over you with no one to hold you back anymore?
After 10 years as a Navy Special Warfare Operator and more than a dozen deployments in both Afghanistan and Iraq, a battlefield injury forces 28-year-old Chief Petty Officer Dean Winchester to choose between being stuck behind a desk for the rest of his career or going back to civil life. When he learns about his friend Jimmy’s death, Dean makes his way back to Kansas with his heart in his throat and broken pieces at his feet.
Things are already complicated and painful enough as it is, but when former lovers Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak meet again after 10 years of radio silence and a galaxy of wounds and scars solidly standing between them, it feels like both a curse and a blessing has been placed on them both. Is there any hope in putting back their broken pieces together after a decade, and how do you deal with grief and broken dreams?

Summary
As a child, Castiel used to fall asleep with his mother telling him bedtime stories of the prophecy she had foreseen for him — how the Strawberry Moon would one day reveal the familiar he was destined to be with.
However, it’s been twelve years since the heart-wrenching day Castiel last saw the one he hoped was meant for him, and at twenty-eight, with his magic quickly dwindling, he knows better than to keep believing in such foolish dreams.
Castiel's resolve falters with the return of his long-ago teenage crush, Dean. The familiar’s evergreen eyes and rainbow aura are still as captivating, but his past is shrouded in mystery, one that could hold the answer to what drove them apart all those years ago.
Maybe the peculiar tabby cat who seems to have taken a liking to Castiel is what it takes to make Castiel believe in the moon with shades of pink again.
