Summary
Dean's life is finally changing. After years of enduring Alastair's abuse, the alpha dies and Dean's married off to the next alpha the system pairs him with - Castiel. The man is strange and distant, but not exactly bad, and Dean's determined to be on his best behavior and not mess up the chance he was given. Soon enough, though, he fucks up anyway and has to call the alpha for help.
Castiel's lived his entire life without an omega by his side, and he was fine with that. He doesn't know how to proceed once he's suddenly married to a beautiful man who's obviously been through a lot. Omegas were always a confusing subject to him, so he tries not to interfere much - neither of them is there by their choice. But when Dean calls for help, he understands he's going to have to set some things straight and engage more.

Summary
Cas is pissed, he's pissed at Dean, and it's all Dean's fault.
This is the first time he made Cas this mad, and the first time he can't sense any guilt or remorse in the alpha's scent. He's just angry, angry at him, and he doesn't try to hold it back.
They're in the middle of Yellowstone National Park, surrounded by trees taller than mountains. There's no service, no way to contact anyone, and Dean can't walk. And it's all his fault.Series

Summary
It takes Dean a while to recover, but he leans into Castiel's side all the same. As he calms, so does Castiel's heart, confused and slamming against his ribcage, undecided whether he should be aroused or scared or handling an emergency.
It will be okay, Castiel tells himself, firmly. It will be okay.
He doesn’t know. He doesn’t know if he believes it.

Summary
It's clear what's going on; Dean's going into heat.
The thing is, he's almost forty. This shouldn't happen anymore and anyway, back when it did - it was far from a good experience, far from a mediocre experience, even. Yeah, Dean admits with sorrow. It was bad. But - and ain't that a gentle, tentative thought - maybe... maybe this won't be a bad thing, after all. Not with Cas, and all the creative ideas he has to help him through this.Series

Summary
Dean has a new alpha now. He's nothing like Alastair, which is... great? Terrifying? Both? He's yet to decide. They've been married for a little over a week, when Dean tries to help out with the alpha's car, even if offering alone makes him shake in fear.
