The angel Castiel was stationed on Earth to observe, not interact. When he takes it upon himself to intervene in an accident that would have claimed the life of Kindergarten teacher, Dean Winchester, there were consequences. Stripped of most of his powers, Castiel is forced to live as a mortal for one year. But after getting to know the man who led to his fall from grace, the angel soon discovers that he has a choice to make. Return to his post when his punishment is over and never see Dean again, or give up his near immortality to take a chance at a life on Earth with the human he has come to love.

A 3x06 coda
“Did you really think I wanted you to go?” The words were heavy and a little bit wounded and he could feel Alec breathe in sharply at the unexpected question.
A gentle conversation in the afterglow, set at the end of 3x01.
When photographer Dean Winchester is not capturing momentous occasions like weddings and graduations with his Nikon, he is moonlighting as the cameraman for the South Shore Paranormal; a ghost hunting series on YouTube, headed by his brother Sam, and Sam's best friend Gabriel.
Despite his brother's adamance, Dean Winchester does not believe in ghosts. And no one is going to change his mind. Certainly not a scam artist like Castiel Novak. Castiel is a self-proclaimed medium... and Gabriel's brother. When a member of the SSP team has to leave the crew, Castiel is the replacement, much to Dean's dismay. But the more they work together, the more Dean is drawn to Castiel, the man stirring up protective instincts usually only reserved for family.
What happens when Dean realizes that Castiel is not the fake he always thought he was, but instead, a generous soul that Dean is rapidly falling in love with?
“I’ll make you a deal,” Castiel said in lieu of answering his question and laughed when Dean’s brows shot up in surprise. Clearly, his change in attitude was unexpected.
“Oh yeah?” Dean's bright green eyes held amused interest. “What kind of deal?”
“We continue on as we have been the last few months; hanging out, getting to know each other and after six months if you still feel about me the way I know I'll still feel about you, you agree to date me.”
Thirty-five-year-old Castiel Novak may be newly divorced, and newly out of the closet, but he still knows what he wants and what he wants is Dean Winchester. Now Cas just has to convince the man to take a chance on him. Shouldn't be too hard, right?
Dean would be lying if he said that the newest transplant to Angel’s Bend wasn't totally his type, not to mention insanely hot. Unfortunately, Dean has been somebody's big gay experiment before and doesn’t want to put himself through that again. But something about Castiel Novak makes him wonder if it's not worth the gamble.
