    Summary

    -

    From the outside Castiel Novak looks like a regular guy: a good job, two teenage kids, a nice house and a crappy car he’s way too attached to.

    But there’s one thing no one knows about him: that, over twenty years ago, he used to live next to none other than Dean Winchester – back then a brash and loud-mouthed boy and nowadays a huge movie star and Hollywood’s sweetheart.

    Castiel never bothered to tell anyone about his childhood friend because frankly, who would believe him? Probably even Dean himself already forgot about his former awkward and weird neighbor, so Castiel seriously doesn’t see any point in mentioning the whole thing ever.

    But then an interview on national TV happens where Dean reveals way more about his past than ever before … and Castiel - as well as the rest of the world - suddenly realizes that he left a much bigger impact on Dean’s life than he originally thought.

    Summary

    As Crowley shifted gears, the Bentley slid to a stop so smooth it felt unreal. He turned to grin at the brothers over his shoulder.

    “See? Wasn’t so bad,” Crowley said, all smug satisfaction as he killed the engine.

    Sam was gripping the door handle like it was a lifeline. His hair was sticking up in three different directions, and his eyes were the wide, hollow kind of haunted. Dean didn’t look much better — he blinked a few times, checked that he still had all his limbs, then let out a shaky breath.

    “Not so bad?” Dean’s voice cracked halfway through. “You call that a drive?? I’ve fought ghosts that were less terrifying!”

    Crowley stretched lazily, looking immensely pleased with himself. “You survived. Bit of excitement never killed anyone.”

    Sam groaned. “You nearly proved that wrong.”

     

    --

     

    Sam and Dean try to summon Crowley... but get the wrong demon. Instead, they get an English Dracula knock-off, who apparently know Castiel a lot more than any regular demon should.
