Summary
Cas looks even more tired than Dean feels. His eyes are red and the bags under them are more prominent than ever. His hair is a hot mess, reminding Dean of the time when Cas was still able to take off any second with just a flick of his wings. The cut on his neck is covered with a white bandage now and he wears different clothes, a gray sweatpants and a black shirt with a hole on the collar, that Dean recognizes as one of his. It makes him look different. It makes him look soft.
Dean likes it a lot.
---
Cas is back and that is great. Except that it worries Dean how much Cas struggles to adjust to humanity, haunted by nightmares and memories every night. So it's just a gesture of their friendship, despite Castiel's feelings for him, when Dean offers Cas to stay with him at night.

Summary
Men are always leading me places, she thought, and almost laughed at the sheer inappropriateness. But it was true. Mundok with his dumb compassion and flimsy hope, Father with his rules and stubborn refusals, Suwon with his… his fairytale… his smiles.
And Hak had tried to lead her, too, for a time. Through forest and canyon, wind and rain, through the kingdom she’d never known—forcing her forward when she no longer had feet. She’d followed him like a fool, never asking where they were going, taking for granted that he would always be there to drag her along.
Perhaps he’d had enough of her slowing him down.

Summary
-
In order to collect enough evidence against his criminal family and see them all put to jail, Castiel has been a confidential informant of FBI Agent Dean Winchester for years. As the youngest sibling of the Novak clan and the darling child he is able to get particularly close like nobody has ever been to before.
But then one night he shows up at Dean's apartment, completely unannounced, voicing his fear of having been found out by his family.
Are his concerns justified?
And why the hell can't Dean bring himself to be professional about any of this without his stupid feelings getting involved?

Summary
Getting used to Heaven is something of a marvel. It ain't perfect, and Dean thinks he'd hate it if it was, which is probably why it isn't.
~~~
"You don't understand," Dean whispers, exhaling shakily. "I know you don't, because even I don't. The instant you were gone, I wanted you back. Cas, I wanted you back. I wanted—I wanted—"
Cas stares at him, searching his face. After a moment, his own face falls slack, eyes widening just so. "Oh," he breathes out.
Dean wants to be furious that Cas has figured it out before he has—whatever it is—but he's not even that surprised. Cas knows him too well, always has, even more than Dean knows himself. He's been kicking Dean in the goddamn teeth with how deeply he understands him, even about the things Dean doesn't, ever since they first met. You don't think you deserve to be saved, that's what Cas had said. All bundled up in impossibilities and power, this being that looked at Dean Winchester and knew every single inch of him, as if he had a right to each part.
"What?" Dean grits out.
"I love you, too."
