Dad’s shotgun aims casually at Dean from where it was set on the floor by Dad’s uncautious, desperate, terrified hands. And Sam is alive. And Dean thinks— thank God for that bullet.

Summary
The first time she meets him, he's nothing more than an almost-missed appointment.
~~~
Dean is silent for a long, tense moment, then he gruffly says, "It's not for banishing the angels. It's to summon them. So, it doesn't—it's not to get rid of 'em, but to draw 'em in."
Mitzi can't help but glance up at him at that. His voice is so heavy with so much unexplained pain, and she doesn't understand why, or what angels have to do with it. She knows religion can impact people. She's very aware that it can get complicated, and that it can be a huge source of pain for someone, but Dean sounds grievously wronged, somehow, as if it's a truly personal thing.
She pushes through, focusing back on her job, clearing her throat before murmuring, "Well, I guess we all want angels to visit us sometimes."
"Just the one," Dean mumbles.
"Your guardian angel?" Mitzi asks.
Dean breathes out, "Something like that. As close to one as an angel will ever get."

Summary
“No,” Dean gave up and said, for the fiftieth or fifteenth time that night, that lifetime, “I mean, I can’t,” and then, after a quick bracing breath, he reached out and plunged Cas’ hand onto his dick.
Cas tilted his head and Dean’s entire body seemed to ache with it. He didn’t move his hand.
“Dean?”
“My dick’s broken,” Dean told him.
Or, if Supernatural had let Dean be impotent for longer than the six days in between episodes, he would’ve solved every single one of his personal problems.

Summary
Freedom is just one adjustment after the next.
~~~
Cas hums again. "I think you already have. It's been months since everything settled. All that's left to do is...get used to it, and perhaps—" His voice stalls out, uncharacteristically, and his gaze roams Dean's face with intensity. When he speaks next, his tone is a little raw. "Perhaps what one does with peace is...whatever they want."
"What if I don't even know what that is?" Dean grumbles, arching an eyebrow in challenge. "'Cause I know damn well you don't just mean good food and a good bed and time in Baby, not simple wants like that. You mean—ya know, the big things, the wants we didn't get to have before."
"Yes," Cas agrees. "If you're not sure, figure it out."
"Easier said than done."

"So maybe, just maybe, the corruption doesn't have to invoke shame this time."
Hey-oh! There's my best, good buddy in the whole wide world.
"To tell you the truth, I gotta think about wanting you in broad terms. If I try to think of something too specific, I get kinda weird. Like I need to go lay down for a couple of hours," Dean admits, pursing his lips. "You drive me fucking crazy."

Summary
His hair had been the same since he was eleven, a tight almost-buzz on the sides, a little longer on the top. Brown, unassuming, military-issue. Never long enough to fall in his eyes, not like whatever Sam had going on on that head of his. His face had been changed by thirty-something years of slicing and dicing, aging out of those delicate features. If he dropped dead now on the bathroom floor, the coroner wouldn’t call him pretty. But his hair stayed Ken-Doll-identical all the way through.

Summary
It’s the dawn of the third day and Cas is still passed out on the starched cot, skin weird and pale against the sheets.
It’s the last day. At sunset, Cas will die. Unless he receives true love’s kiss.Luckily, he’s surrounded by a whole lot of people who love him! Unluckily, ‘Frozen’ rules don’t seem to apply— it has to be romantic. Luckily, Dean is there! Unluckily, he’s a goddamn coward.

Summary
How long has it been? Twenty minutes? A hundred years? Castiel isn’t sure. He shifts, closes all one hundred and thirty-two of his eyes. He pokes at the warm thing, but it is like it is part of him. Castiel thinks of Sam--the least painful person to think of--and wonders what he would do if he were in this situation. Perhaps Castiel should pick up his vessel and try to find someone to talk to, or find the Shadow and ask it to put him to sleep, but he’s not sure what the point is. Either someone will find him, or they won’t. He has eternity--what’s a little bit of being awake?

Summary
Castiel, Angel of the Lord, fount of knowledge, can give you the exact date and time down to the millisecond, and if you tell him that it doesn’t match what your clock says, he’ll tell you your clock is wrong. Cas knows the when and where of every major occurrence in human history since there were any humans for there to be history about, and quizzing him about it is one of Dean’s favorite games to play, sometimes to show him off and sometimes just for his own amusement.

looking like a true survivor (feeling like a little kid) by courfeyrac
Fandoms: Supernatural

Summary
"Jack’s a clever kid—has been ever since he was born, maybe even before that—but Dean’s pretty sure he hasn’t figured out where they’re going yet. And Dean’s… Dean’s excited about it. He remembers planning surprises for Sammy when they were little—saving up quarters and sneaking off to the arcade the year he turned seven, or slipping a book Dean had seen Sammy admiring into his jacket before sprinting out of the store the year he turned twelve. There was only so much Dean could give him back then, hindered by lack of finances and transportation and a father who paid attention. Now, though, Dean’s got a wallet full of cash, a tank full of gas, and the freedom to give his kid the kind of birthday he deserves."
Or, it's Jack's fourth birthday, and the kid wants to go to Build-A-Bear.

Summary
Dean sits back in his chair, drinking his coffee and watching Castiel. After a few moments, he realizes that the soft, mellow feeling in his chest is… contentment. He's not happy in the way that a little kid is happy at their birthday party, or even in the way that he is when Cas or Sam has been miraculously brought back to life after one of the long string of disasters in their lives. He's happy in a new and different way. And has been, maybe, for a while now. Nearly as long as Cas has been living here, human, in the bunker.
And then Dean Winchester has a moment of absolute clarity.

Summary
It’s partly to silence his own thoughts, and partly to explain his shell-shocked reaction that Dean says, “I didn’t even think that angels could feel stuff like that.”
Cas’s face goes blank. Neither Dean nor Cas say anything or look at the other for a long moment.
“To be fair, I don’t think angels are supposed to,” Cas finally says, voice rougher than it had been, and somehow distant. “Even as a human, I’ve never had a soul.” There’s a glassy look in Cas’ eye as he stares past a spot on the wall, and his voice dips quiet. “What should it feel like? To be in love?”
*
Dean didn't think that angels could feel love. He's very wrong about that. But he's also determined to make up for his mistake.

"That deep, ancient hunger is bleeding off the edges of Cas’ skin, and Dean feels a spike of adrenaline when he recognizes it. He reminds himself that it’s just part of Castiel, Castiel who loves him, who he understands." lord g-d christ JESUS they are so unhinged and i love every single moment of it
