What begins as a transforming love between Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak in the summer of 1965 quickly derails into something far more tumultuous when Dean is drafted in the Vietnam War. Though the two both voice their relationship is one where saying goodbye is never a real truth, their story becomes fraught with the tragedy of circumstance. In an era where homosexuality was especially vulnerable, Twist and Shout is the story of the love transcending time, returning over and over in its many forms, as faithful as the sea. REMINDER_ Credit goes to the authors. Also, yes. THIS Is the ORIGINAL Twist and shout story .

Castiel Novak would have never thought that he would end up being with Dean Winchester, the guy he's been obsessing over since middle school but his dream came true. With all the troubles in the world surrounding them, they hold on to each other.

Castiel Novak, (because I'm mainstream, that's why) is and always has been the school loser. Never the most popular, never the funniest, definitely not the most attractive, and with his own home-life troubles already. Some unlikely family issues ends him in Lawrence, Kansas, where he has no hope of starting afresh. Rumors carry fast, and by the end of the day, he has zero new friends and a few new bruises. Dean Winchester, the school gossip topic, the sex god, the jock, and because I'm really cliché, probably the most popular dude at Southwood High, has always lived in Lawrence, Kansas. As far as he is concerned, life is good, and he is intent in keeping it so. Okay guys this is gonna be a lot like every other Destiel fanfic you've ever read, so...
