When Ms. Lavender closed Echo Lodge for the last time – never to return – the small, out-of-the-way cottage fell into the capable hands of James and Castiel Novak.
It was a well-known fact all over the county that the Novak twins had suffered a great tragedy in their youth, losing nearly all their family, so their preference for solitude was never questioned. It was, in fact, thought of with sympathetic understanding.
And so Mr. and Mr. Novak were left in peace, their lifestyle choices unquestioned.
But when Mr. Winchester arrived on Prince Edward Island from the states and took up residence in Echo Lodge with the Novak twins, tongues, naturally, started wagging.
Summary: Dean is content with his place as a foot soldier but one fateful day he finds himself fighting side by side with one of the Empire’s twin emperors and suddenly his life takes an unexpected turn…

When Ms. Lavender closed Echo Lodge for the last time – never to return – the small, out-of-the-way cottage fell into the capable hands of James and Castiel Novak.
It was a well-known fact all over the county that the Novak twins had suffered a great tragedy in their youth, losing nearly all their family, so their preference for solitude was never questioned. It was, in fact, thought of with sympathetic understanding.
And so Mr. and Mr. Novak were left in peace, their lifestyle choices unquestioned.
But when Mr. Winchester arrived on Prince Edward Island from the states and took up residence in Echo Lodge with the Novak twins, tongues, naturally, started wagging.
“Mr. Novak – I’m sorry, Jimmy,” Rachel called from her seat at the table, her strong voice carrying easily in the small confines of the cottage. She found it hard to believe that three grown men could live here comfortably, conveniently forgetting that it had once housed a small family. “I’m sorry to call on you so unexpectedly. I’m afraid I was tasked with helping the church raise funds to help that poor family over in Carmody that lost their home to a fire. I’m sure you heard about it?”
“No, I was unaware,” Jimmy said, returning with a tray carefully balanced in his hands. He set it down and with quick movements, set everything in their places on the table. “You must know my brother and I don’t get out much,” he replied. “That’s tragic. Of course we would like to help in whatever way we could.
“Speaking of your brother, will Castiel be joining us?” she asked innocently, hoping to find the perfect opening to ask about the third houseguest.
“Oh, no I don’t think so. He’s taking care of Dean.” Jimmy passed a slice of pie over to her, a fork already resting on the plate.
“Thank you,” she murmured, picking up the fork. “Dean - that’s Mr. Winchester, right? I’m sorry to hear he is not well.” She took a small bite of the pie and her eyes widened at how good it was. It might even rival her own.
“He has his good days and his bad ones, as we all do.” Jimmy cast his eyes down to his plate and played with his fork. He, himself, looked somewhat unwell, she thought.
“If I may inquire, is Mr. Winchester sick? Is that why he came to live here? I’m sure you’re aware that rumors abound about Mr. Winchester’s sudden appearance.” Rachel couldn’t believe that this opportunity to blatantly ask about Dean Winchester without being rude had been practically gifted up to her on a silver platter. In fact, at the mention of Dean, it would have been ruder not to ask after him and his health.
“You understand, of course, that it is not my place to tell you what happened but my brother and I knew Dean from our Richmond days. We lost track of him after we finished, but he was one of our closest friends there. Tragedy struck at home and…well, Mrs. Lynde, my brother and I know at least some of what is said of us behind closed doors, and I’m sure you would agree that of all our mutual friends, my brother and I were probably the only ones who truly knew what Dean was going through.”
“Oh, that poor man!” Mrs. Lynde covered her mouth daintily with a white gloved hand. When she lowered her hand, she looked at Jimmy approvingly. “I have always heard that you and your brother were good people. To take that young man in…I hope Mr. Winchester knows how lucky he is!” she exclaimed.
“Oh, I think he does. He tells us how grateful he is nearly every day.”

Pairings: Jimmy/Castiel; Dean/Castiel/Jimmy
Summary: The death of Jimmy and Castiel Shurley’s parents grants them a modest inheritance and, more importantly, freedom to make their own choices. After hunting for the perfect house, they find what they’re looking for in an old farmhouse in the mountains of upstate New York: nice neighbors not too close, the beauty of nature surrounding them, and solitude, save for each other. The isolation is both a blessing and a curse; Castiel has pined for his brother since puberty, but incest is forbidden and homosexuality is taboo, and he knows if he speaks about his feelings he’ll lose his brother as a best friend and destroy their careers as children’s book authors as well. Fortunately, Castiel finds a new friend in Dean, the strange man who hangs around their property. Sure, it’s a weird, especially since Dean refuses to enter the house or even meet Jimmy, but Dean is gregarious, beautiful, kind, and brilliantly knowledgeable about the natural wonders surrounding them. Castiel isn’t the best at assessing people but he’s absolutely sure there’s no harm in Dean…

“Willows are junk trees,” the inspector explained. “Their root systems are shallow and spread wide. They grow damn fast, too. One this old? There are roots all over your yard. It’s only a matter of time before they get into your well water – if they haven’t already – and they can even burst a septic tank depending on how they grow. They’re short lived, too. You’re thinking that ‘cause this one is so big, it must be old, but I’d be surprised if it’s stood here more than 20 years. As if that weren’t enough, the branches are weak. In a bad storm, if you’re lucky you’ll only lose some of them; if you’re unlucky the whole thing will go down right into your pond. Then you’ll have a right mess. I’m sure that’s why this other one was cut down,” she added, gesturing at the stump that Castiel had noted previously.
The corpse of the tree that once stood side by side with the existing willow was nearly as large around as the bole of the remaining tree. Thick moss, dark green, each sprig resembling a tiny tree, spread over the old, dead bark, covered the exposed roots, and forced its way through the lichen growing on the wood. What Castiel had thought from a distance was some kind of decoration proved to be, on closer inspection, a shrine. A sculpture of an angel carved from a pale wood rested on the stump, so intricate that every feather was articulated and Castiel thought he’d recognize the face if it was someone he knew. A plaid scarf was wrapped around the angel’s neck and a small hat was tugged over its head. Sunlight struck the finish and it gleamed, the wood polished to a lustrous shine. Something metal twinkled, a pendant, Castiel realized, shaped like a horned face. Other items, clearly deliberately selected though Castiel didn’t see a pattern to them, were arranged neatly about the base of the sculpture, nestled in the moss: an antler, a blue feather, a small carven box, a wind-scoured bone, and more.
“She’s wrong, you know,” said a gruff, unfamiliar voice. Startled, Castiel jerked around. There was a man standing beneath the boughs of the willow tree, tall, a smattering of freckles scattered over his tanned cheeks. His hair was the same shade of brown as the angel sculpture, and the gel that swept it back from his forehead gave it a similar burnished gleam.
His eyes were green.
Castiel wasn’t one for eye contact. Jimmy’s eyes were blue, brilliantly blue, but Castiel couldn’t think of another person he’d ever met whose eye color he’d taken note of.

Pairings: Dean/Jimmy, Dean/Castiel, Castiel/Jimmy, Dean/Castiel/Jimmy, Prior Dean/Others (Lisa, Aaron, Lydia, Benny, Cassie), Minor Anna/Jo, Minor Dorothy/Charlie, Minor Chuck/Becky, Prior Cas/Others (Balthazar, Crowley, Meg, April), Prior Jimmy/Others (Amelia, Daphne, Nora, April)
Summary: It only affects maybe twenty percent of the population, but when you first kiss your soulmate, sparks fly. Not literally, but the feeling is real enough for those who experience it. There are two catches: it only works after you turn sixteen and it has to be a kiss on the lips.
Teaser:
Dean’s had his fair share of disappointment in his life. The whole soulmate thing has really screwed him over. Every time he thinks he’s found someone, there’s the inescapable proof that they’re not the one. If the one even exists out there for him. Things get a whole lot more complicated when he meets twins Castiel and Jimmy, and finds himself attracted to both of them…
Teaser: Jimmy’s barely gone when Castiel reappears. “Jimmy behaving himself?”
“Yeah.” Now that Dean’s gotten used to Jimmy’s voice, hearing Cas’ deep timbre throws him off for a split second. “Tells me you two plan on going into business together. How come you didn’t tell me that?”
Castiel shrugs. “I mentioned wanting to start a business, I’m sure. I suppose I forgot to mention the specifics of it. Besides, Jimmy has more fun telling people about it. It’s his baby, I’m just there to support him.”
“I thought you’d be doing the flowers.”
This makes Castiel’s eyes go wide and his ears go red. Did he manage to actually embarrass Castiel? Unflappable, always composed Cas? Dean wants to interrogate him more on the flower thing, but Cas cuts him off by pointing toward the bar.
“I know he probably showed you some examples, but he only shows off the obvious things like Valentine’s Day and Birthdays. You should ask him about his ‘unique occasion’ cards.”
“Okay, I’ll bite. What the hell are ‘unique occasions’?”
Jimmy steps up to the table with a manic smile on his face. “Did someone say ‘unique occasions’?” He hands off his beer and shakes out his arms a little and turns around. When he turns back, Jimmy starts talking in this cheesy, showman voice. “Tired of not having a card to mark the important—and not so important—occasions in your life? Birthday cards are a dime a dozen, but where are you going to turn to when you need something more specific? The answer is simple: Greetings and Carnations, a store designed just for your apology, celebratory, and other gift-related needs. Any time a situation arises that calls for something more than a text message, don’t worry, we’ve got a card for that.”
“Is he for real about that?” Dean asks Cas.
Cas is deadly seriously as he answers, “Yes. Tell him, Jimmy.”
Jimmy’s smile is so bright, so big and open, that it shouldn’t fit on a face that looks like Cas’. But somehow, it does. “Accidentally forget to take out the trash like your spouse asked? We’ve got a card for that. Get caught by your boss at an amusement park on a sick day? We’ve got a card for that. Lose your neighbor’s pet while they were on vacation? We’ve got a card for that. Your boyfriend run out on you because he met his soulmate and you want to tell him to suck it? Hell, we’ve got a card for that too!”
Any enjoyment Dean had in the situation dissolves right then and there. His face freezes in this mix between amusement and pain.
The twins share an alarmed look before Jimmy blurts out, “Oh fuck, did that happen to you?”
