Sam has it all figured out: a physical therapy degree, a steady job at the hospital, a compact rental apartment, and potted plants. He jogs every morning, prefers organic orange juice, and never drinks. Yeah, he has his life sorted out. So what if his brother calls him OCD? Sam has contingency plans, unlike Dean. Then he meets a weird guy in ridiculous clothes and a red clown nose, and he realizes that perhaps there is more in life than carefully crafted plans after all.

Dean is an omega who got fired from his last job for turning his fists against alphas that would not accept “no” for an answer. His younger brother Sam gets him an interview for the company he works at, Invisi-tech. Although he has no interest in settling down with an alpha, Dean finds himself intrigued by the Invisi-tech president, Michael Novak.

It started off as a series of erotic fantasies, but it wasn’t like Sam could exactly control his subconscious, or anything. Apparently, if the dreams were vivid enough - they could be read as prayers. Sam had no idea his mind was actually reaching out to Gabriel until the angel appeared one unexpected night and whisked them away into an empty motel room. He gave Sam a series of ultimatums to toy with him, choices that loosened his morals, coupled with the option of silence to let his body speak for him. Even when Sam could no longer justify it as a dream, and even when Gabriel’s inner alpha bloomed into something much more possessive, the visits continued and the stakes became higher. Sam already knew with his addictive personality he would always give in, no matter the risk...because he was just that. Addicted.

The war had been devastating; killing generations, history and the future. Alphas and Omegas fighting against Betas over equality. When the dust settled and the reapers came to count their dues, the Alphas and Omegas were vastly out numbered by the Betas. Someone at a desk did the math and realized that if science didn’t step in, Alphas and Omegas could be wiped out as a species in as little as 125 years. While that didn’t bother most Betas, it terrified the Alphas and Omegas. Until an idea was created, one that help preserves the culture and continue the blood lines of Alpha and Omegas alike and kept them controlled, like the Betas wanted them….The Mating Games.

Balthazar runs a matchmaking business that has a perfect record of zero matches. This is because the matchmaking is really just a front for doing background checks for people who want to do business with the Shurley family - usually illegal business. He gets drunk with his bookie cousin Gabriel and they make a bet, that Balthazar can’t actually make 5 perfect matches. Balthazar has always been viewed as less than by his family since he is the only beta. He is determined to prove them wrong and win the bet. His long suffering assistant Castiel mostly just hopes they don’t end up on the evening news as bodies found in the river.

When five friends meet up at Salute to Supernatural Vancouver, they expect to have the time of their lives. True to their nature, it’s difficult for some to stay out of trouble. The group finds themselves being dragged through a portal and into the world of their favorite show. Only, this isn’t the Supernatural they all know. They discover that reading about something, and living it are two vastly different things. The physical changes and the shift in group dynamic are one thing. It’s the mental and emotional challenges that come with such an alpha-geared society that makes everything difficult. Everyone else seems to be adjusting just fine, which is great considering there’s no hope of ever going home, but Aria can’t seem to figure herself out. She’s omega, but she’s not going to just lay down and let the world walk all over her. She’s got a brain, and she’s not afraid to tell a knothead alpha exactly what she thinks, Dean Winchester included. Still, she’s an omega, and there’s something about alpha archangel Michael that makes her want to bow in submission and do anything he asks of her. Aria thought she knew who she was, what she wanted, and where she was going in life. Now she’s not so sure.

Matt and Rob are looking for their alpha. As a mated omega/beta pair, they don’t have to have one, but they do want one. On a date with another alpha, Rob catches the scent of an alpha that he can’t let go of, because the alpha smells like everything he has ever wanted. Meeting Richard only serves to further confirm that and they fall fast and hard, hoping that Richard is falling with them. (Spoiler Alert: He is.)

At only 33, Castiel Novak had everything he had ever wanted. A restaurant chain of his own, two Michelin stars and a reality TV show he stars in with his best friend. The only thing that seems to be missing is someone to share all of it with, a mate to spend the rest of his life with. However, perhaps that will change with the filming of the newest episode for his show Diner Disasters, which will take him to Kansas to help out a struggling diner called Mary’s… Or: The Kitchen Nightmares AU, where Cas is pseudo-Gordon Ramsay and Dean is the son of the owner of a failing restaurant.

How To Pick A Pack

Dean Winchester’s brother is acting off. Twitchy and almost shy. Needy in a way the kid hasn’t been since he was a damn teenager. And it’s setting off every single alpha overprotective instinct Dean has. Castiel can't get the scent of Sam Winchester out of his head. He smells-almost-like mate. But Sam is ignoring him, and Cas can't figure out why, so he starts following him, quietly courting the alpha. Sam has no idea why he’s being stalked, why his stalker is so damn nice and why his boss won’t look at him. Sure, Gabriel Novak is miles out of his league, but it doesn’t keep him from pining, just a little. Gabriel wants a lot of things in life, and isn’t used to denying himself. But Sam? Sam is one thing he’s spent years denying. The kid is gorgeous and sassy and everything Gabe wants and there’s no fucking way he’s going to screw up his life. The thing is that you can pick your pack, and you can plan for shit, but sometimes life happens, and for these four? It just did.

It’s not easy being a late bloomer – and at 18 and still unpresented Dean is definitely that. Life is made more complicated when his father dies, and his younger half-brother comes to the funeral. Driven by a need to keep his family together, Dean opens his arms to his younger brother. But life isn't always smooth sailing. Still, Dean does what he's always done: he keeps his family together.

The park in Abilene is where it all began. For almost a decade, they affected each other’s lives in little yet significant ways. And then they were pulled apart, without the chance to even say a proper goodbye. Twenty years later and they meet again, but Dean isn’t sure whether the boy who gave him so much as a child will even remember who he is, or forgive him for their disastrous last meeting if he does. Will the park that brought them together, be the place that keeps them together forever?
