    Summary

    Three months after the Winchesters defeat Chuck, Jack rescues Cas from the Empty.

    Jack uses his powers to save Cas from The Empty, and shows him how the brothers are adjusting to the changes in their lives. Seeing that Dean is happy, considering retiring from hunting and making new connections with people, and Sam attempting to expand the Hunters Network with Eileen, Cas decides to take Jack up on his offer of a full human resurrection. However, Cas decides to step back from the Winchesters so he can create his own future and they can live out their own lives.

    This is a story where Cas learns that while happiness isn't necessarily in the 'having', it's okay for him to have a slice of the 'having' too, as he lives a full human lifetime of love, loss, sadness and happiness before entering Jack's Heaven

    Summary

    What if Castiel stayed gone after his argument with Dean in 15x03?

    Sam and Dean come to town and are shocked to find Castiel still alive. The brothers are adamant that the case is supernatural in nature, whereas Castiel insists it's the work of a serial killer.

    Summary

    THIS STORY IS COMPLETE

    Castiel Krushnic is the weirdest guy in the 11th grade. Hell, he’s the weirdest guy in the whole damn school. His stark good looks against the all black clothes, his thick-soled stomping boots, and the fact that he almost never speaks to anyone except his girlfriend Meg makes him an enigma. It seems like every time Dean turns around, the guy is there—looking at him or doing something bizarre. Dean shouldn’t care, but he can’t get Castiel out of his head.

    As spring comes to Sioux Falls and the days get longer, 17-year-old Dean Winchester has more time to spend with his semi-girlfriend Lisa and collection of delinquent friends. Between working at his Uncle Bobby’s garage and shuttling his little brother around in his prized possession, his father’s Impala, time alone is a rare luxury. When he treks out to an abandoned trainyard alone and ends up seriously injured, it shouldn’t be a surprise that Castiel is there to save him.

    Now, Dean has one more weird thing about Castiel Krushnic he can’t explain and a gnawing need to know more.

    Summary

    Their final moments are upon them. They’ve played their final card and Chuck is announcing curtain call. But Dean still has a few seconds left. A few seconds to right the only wrong he’s ever truly regretted.

    So Dean will do the only thing he can do. His one final move in the famous final scene of Chuck’s shitty story. Something that Chuck believed completely unfathomable. Something, that, throughout all the universes, he’d never seen – not once.

    Dean is about to answer a question that Cass should have never even needed to ask.

    And maybe – maybe – one last ditch effort in a world gone mad is enough to turn the tides just enough so they might hear what ‘the exultant sound of a canon booming in the night’ really means.

    OR

    Instead of sending them to Purgatory, Michael traverses all the universes with Dean and Castiel in the hopes of finding one where good prevailed and Chuck was defeated. Along the way Dean and Castiel's relationship is put under strain.

    Will Michael play mediator?

    Will the alternate versions of Dean, Sam and Castiel force them to face their decisions and mend their relationship?

    What ‘the exultant sound of a canon booming in the night’ really mean?

    Summary

    “You know, you fight, and you fight for this family. But the truth is they don’t need you. Not like you need them.” All Dean ever did was want people. It’s just sometimes they didn’t want him…

    Or 4 times people left Dean and one time they stayed. Spans from pre-series up to Season 14. A little bit of Canon Divergence in some parts.

    Summary

    “I think it’s time for me to move on.” Everyone leaves.

    A calliope of sound bombards him.

    So much for ‘we are real.’ So much for them.

    Maybe they could have fixed things. He knew they’d both done things and said things. There hadn’t been time to think about what he feels… to separate emotion from adrenaline. But the angel had decided it was too late. He’d decided it was too late just like he’d decided not to tell them about Jack… when he decided to change the plan.

    Maybe this is for the best. But…

    Every receding footstep thuds like a nail.

    Clang.

    Clang.

    Against the metal stair case that leads to the door.

    ‘Welcome to the end.’

    Nailing him to his coffin.

    -

    He can move on.

    But his feet remain rooted to the dirt outside the bunker door; the home that was never really his.

    After thousands of years he can tell when something is broken... and yet, he’d stood in the glass, bleeding out for far too long.

    The moon shone brightly, the insects chirped and the world carried on once more… utterly oblivious to how close it had been to ending.

    Castiel walks away numbly yet all too raw. The earth may be fine but his world had just imploded.

    Summary

    “You told me in tongues.” Dean snaps “Can you try it again in English?”

    At his side, Cass bristles. “My deal is when I’m happy he will take me.”

    “Dean.” He begins. “The things that can make me happy are numbered. When the Shadow peered inside my mind, it saw everything. My feelings of inadequacy and uselessness, my greatest fears, my enemies… the people I love.”

    “I’m not saying you made the wrong call Cass.” He says gently. “Just - why didn’t you tell us?”

    “What would that have done?”

    “Something.” Dean insists. “We'd have gone face to face with that monster!”

    “There it is.” Cass says softly. “What good would that have done? The thing that could make me happy… facing off against the being who wishes to take it all away?”

    That gives Dean pause. “Me and Sam… we make you happy?”

    “Yes.” Cass says carefully. “Being with you and Sam brings me great joy.”

    “Dean.” Cass says sternly, catching his attention. “Once I thought that you knew. You are a connoisseur in matters such as this. Now, that we're in a place that is all our own, I think you’re ready to hear this.”

    Dean’s been ready for the past hour, but okay.

    “You make me unbelievably happy Dean.”

    Summary

    Alone and in an unfamiliar place, Castiel is held hostage by both the passage of time (something which has never bothered him before) and his own tangled emotions—until something plays its part in unpicking them, helping him to see things a little clearer.

    But still, it hurts. Like hell.

    Summary

    He watched helplessly as his body hit the dirt, his wings etched into the mud… the final touch. A stroke of death, that, in his eyes, could never be revoked. Dean doesn’t regret many things in life. He can’t afford to. But he always regretted letting Sam drag him back. It’s stupid to go in now, he knows it. He rips Cass’ arms back, trying to wrench him away from the portal… to get him to wait. Stay.

    “Twelve hours is nothing.” He hisses, holding onto Cass with all his might.

    “That’s why we have to act quickly. Before it closes.”

    “And if it closes with us in it… then what?” he demands, “We find the blossom and play ring around the roses for the rest of the time?”

    “When a human enters Purgatory, a portal opens.”

    “Yea. A human portal. For me. We still don’t know if it works for you.” he yells, “We can’t risk it. You stay here and wait for Sam. He’ll… know how to keep the portal open.”

    Cass shoves him back. “We don’t have time for this. You can stay here.” He says mirroring Dean’s words from earlier. The portal flashes as Cass steps through. Dean curses. Common sense grabs him by the neck and rattles him around. Dean ignores it. Sam wouldn’t want him to go. But Sam isn’t here this time.

    Summary

    “Now do the hand thing and make up.”

    Castiel blushes fiercely. “Uh, Rowena, do you really think that will help us?”

    Dean is the one who sticks his hand out first, biting his lip nervously and giving Castiel doe eyes. “Uh.” He reaches forward and grabs hold of Dean’s hand.

    They remain there, hand in hand – holding hands like long lost lovers – and staring into each other’s eyes until Rowena clears her throat. “Boys? Part two?”

    This time it’s Dean who's squeamish. “Isn’t that going a bit far?”

    “What the bloody hell are you talking about?!” she shrieks.

    Still holding hands. Dean moves in closer and Rowena sighs in relief. They’re going to hug it out… .

    Rowena has to hide her startled gasp as Dean leans down and presses a chaste kiss to Castiel’s lips. Of the three of them, she doesn’t know who is more astounded.

    “Should I use tongue?”

    Rowena makes a noise of shock and Dean seems to take it as agreement as he leans in once more, giving a much deeper kiss.

    “Right.” Dean says brusquely. “We did the hand thing and we made out. Is that good enough for Auntie Rowena.”

    “Oh.” She taps her chin, “I thought you’d just shake hands and give each other a pack on the back.”

    Summary

    The way Sam complains about the weird nature documentaries on his Netflix profile, the slight creaking of the chair next to him at dinner. The way there’s always a Cass sized shape at the end of his bed.

    It’s like he’s Scrooge and the ghost of Angel Past is haunting him

    “Oh my God, Dean!” Sam shouts, jarring him from his thoughts, “Don’t move! The painkillers are floating! Grab some iron, I’ll get the salt!”

    Sam screams at him, but Dean just sits there in a trance.

    “You can see that?” he asks softly.

    Sam hauls him away and Dean just stares as the pack falls flat.

    “I don’t understand how a ghost got in here.” Sam sounds exasperated, “I thought they all got sucked into hell. Dean? Say something!”

    “Huh.”

    “There’s a ghost.” Sam huffs, “That’s why my Netflix account is acting up and why our things are going missing.”

    Dean clears his throat, trying to force the words out. He thought he had been hallucinating for days, but if Sam can see it too… “It’s not a ghost.” He says slowly.

    Dean can barely speak, but he only needs one word: “Cass.”

    In a split second Cass appears before them... he hadn’t left.

    He remains paralysed, dumbstruck. “You stayed.”

    Cas is gone and left Dean to drown in his numbness. Dean wanders through the bunker until he breaks down completely. Sam finds him in Cas' room. (Another coda for 15x03, because we all can't get enough of the pain, right?)

    Summary

    Everyone has intangible walls inside their minds. Walls that restrict actions, that divide subjects, that seal memories, that hide thoughts, that imprison desires, that block words, that confine feelings…

    Dean and Castiel are no exception. In fact, they're probably the biggest examples of how people live by holding back and ignoring the truth and the desires inside their heads.

    But eventually everything crumbles.

    Eventually, the walls crack.

    Summary

    Every now and again, loving Superman feels like giving the world an ultimatum. Keep turning, just this once, and give me this, or learn what it means to be still. Dean's been still for far too long. He wants a turn now.

     

    He moves, circling closer to Cas, like the sure rotation of the earth. Dean knows he's a pillar to what keeps it turning, a fortified bolt in the cogs that makes it run. Save the world once, and it gives you an ultimatum. Keep saving forever, and forget to live, or learn what it means to die. Being in love with Superman while trying to be Superman feels like fraudulent activity.

    Summary

    Even after admitting their feelings and consummating their relationship, Cas still bails on Dean for Heaven because he wants to protect the Winchesters. It really pisses Dean off because Cas had promised to stay the night before. Morning after their first time included. A bit angsty throughout, but underneath it all there is just love and shared concern for each other.
