Summary
Ardeth and Jonathan meet at a conference, one of them gets their heart broken in the process.
-----
Ardeth felt like he was being sick. Like, physically sick. Ugly vomiting included. He could already feel the bile rising und tried to gulp it down. Sweat was breaking out of every pore on his body, one droplet running down his neck and another one settling in the hollow between his clavicles. Desperately trying to overcome the beginning dizziness, he sucked in a deep, stuttering breath. And a second one, more steady this time. The momentarily panic he felt at the sight of this man, the man he thought, - prayed actually, to every deity he knew and some more for good measure-, he would never see again, subsided slowly.

Summary
After his father suffers a stroke, Dean moves back to Lawrence to take care of him. Cas stays behind in Boston to continue his PhD. Neither of them is all too happy about it but it’s just for a few months.
Except then it’s suddenly not and their relationship starts to suffer under the distance. Finding time for each other, and not fighting gets more and more difficult. But at least there's Christmas, where Cas visits and Dean becomes very aware of how much he wants to marry him.
Who would have thought that it would only go downhill from there?

Summary
At eighteen, Castiel Novak thinks he’s an adult. The X’s on his hands at the music venue say otherwise. So does the bartender who shuts him down with, “I don’t think so, kid,” when Castiel asks for his number.

Summary
At forty-one, Dr. Castiel Novak is the proud recipient of a generous grant to fund his project on sustainability and urban farming from the Campbell Foundation, a small investing firm based out of Chicago. The night before he meets the award committee, lonely and pushed by his friend Balthazar, Castiel has the best sex of his life during a casual Grindr hook-up with “just-visiting” forty-seven-year-old Dean. Castiel’s life appears to be coming together, until he discovers that Dean is the head of the grant award committee. For the sake of professionalism, Castiel is willing to ignore the intense attraction between the two of them, but Dean turns out to be too tempting to resist.

Summary
Dean's doing fine. He's always late for work, he's not taking care of himself, and he isn't planning on changing that - but seriously, he's fine. Except for one thing: someone's brought back the chili pepper rating system for all of the professors on campus, and Dean isn't rated the hottest. It's Castiel Novak, the guy who's always walking around in terrible sweater vests, who's got the full ten chilis - and that's something Dean does plan to change.
