Regency England...
Dean Winchester, having inherited his father’s estate upon the latter’s death, has been enjoying the life of a country gentleman, sharing its simple toils and pleasures with his dear friend and confidant Reverend Castiel.
Dean’s younger brother, Sam, who seeks to repair their relationship now that their father is gone, wishes to see his brother happy, which, according to him, equates to finding him a wife. So he urges Dean to come to London in order to look for a suitable match while partaking in its season.
Dean doesn’t really want a wife, but being in love with his dearest male friend is a dangerous occupation and pursuing a relationship that can have them both imprisoned or even executed is out of the question.
Thus the true nature of their feelings for each other remains unspoken – until Dean’s past, in the face of a former lover, shatters their status quo.
