Dean's sixteen when he meets John's well-to-do boss, Castiel Novak, and he's quick to develop a crush during a time where he's only begun to discover his preferences. He dates the beautiful Lisa and practically raises his younger brother Sam, because it's what John expects. But Castiel appears to see Dean in a way no one else does, and despite him knowing there's no way anything can happen between them, he relishes in the idea that Castiel cares at all for his well-being. Between mounting pressures from a teenage Sam that no longer wants a caretaker, John's nudging for Dean to follow a career path he doesn't want, and a mysterious check for the exact amount of one semester at the school Dean had been eyeing, Dean finds himself reconnecting with Castiel. And Castiel has a very interesting proposition for him.

Nothing is worse than having a squabble with an absentee Father; except of course, when he tells you that a long lost family member has entrapped a few loved ones of yours in a dangerous, haunted forest on the island nation of Japan. For Gabriel, this means heading to Aokigahara Forest, the ‘Suicide Forest’ as termed by the people who know it best, and working with one Winchester in order to find and rescue another! But can he work together with them after everything has happened? And exactly what do they mean to him in the first place? And who, or what, exactly, placed them into this situation to begin with?
