   Summary

   Welcome, my little hunters! 💚
   
   This is a collection of short, self-contained stories about Dean Winchester in his Omega version — and needless to say, he absolutely HATES being one! 😂
   
   Each chapter will explore a different moment: some set in the present, others in the past. Some will be lighthearted and funny, while others will turn more introspective and bittersweet...
   
   Will Dean and Castiel ever manage to find each other again — not as Heaven’s chosen, but as an Omega and Alpha bound by biology? ✨
