    Summary

    After Castiel catches Dean lustfully looking at him, he decides not to spare him from it.

    What follows is not a confession arc but a campaign: strategic withdrawal, practical touch, ordinary bunker life turned obscene, and a series of increasingly devastating reminders that Dean has been seen too exactly to go back. Across hunts, hallways, motel rooms, and the daily rhythm of home, Castiel makes Dean live inside want until wanting finally becomes something Dean has to choose out loud.

    The thing is, he knows. He’s known.

    Summary

    “I think,” Cas grits out, “that the spell requires me to say the truth. I’ve been trying to suppress it with my grace, but it’s… not working.”
    “Got it,” Dean says, nodding, because he can work with this. “Yeah. Sure. So give me some truths. Some stupid little ones.”
    Cas narrows his eyes. “Such as?”
    “Like, I dunno, what’s your favorite color?”
    Cas’s face somehow goes stonier. “Green,” he ekes out.
    Dean clears his throat. Blinks a few times. “Oh.”
    ________

    Or: when Dean and Cas investigate a group of high school students getting mysteriously ill, Cas gets hit with a truth spell.

    Summary

    Dean doesn’t know what to do. Dean wants to say stay with me, stay with me and never leave. Dean wants to apologize. Dean wants to set his mouth at the hollow of Cas’s throat as gently as he’s ever done anything, feel the beat of Cas’s heart beneath his lips. Dean is so lonely, and he’s missed him so much.

    *

    A year and a half after Cas is saved from the Empty, Dean is living out his days alone on a piece of farmland in rural Kansas. One day, Cas shows up on his porch.

    Summary

    Castiel slips from his chair to kneel at Dean’s feet. He takes Dean’s hands in his, and there on the floor holding something with devotion, he understands Communion. He understands Eucharist. He understands believing in someone so deeply that to shelter a piece of them within yourself is an act of untempered faith, love and prayer and deep-wide trust.

    *

    Cas comes back. Dean can’t stop touching him.

    Summary

    Dean and Castiel go undercover as a couple going through therapy, in order to catch a monster that specifically targets couples dealing with issues, feeding on their distress, anger, and pain.

    They end up going through a lot more than a case, unfolding feelings left untold for so long, discovering parts of each other they never intended to uncover.

    But will the feelings raging inside them be enough to bring their walls down?

    This work is titled after lyrics from the song "Graveyard" by Halsey [x]

    Summary

    It’s been several months since the events of 15x19, and the world is at ease. Dean Winchester isn’t, though.

    It takes a drunken night and a conversation with Sam for the Winchesters and a newly depowered Jack to start working on a way to get to the Empty to bring back Castiel, their angel best friend. After several weeks, the team enlist the assistance of the new Queen of Hell and find a spell. With Rowena’s help, Cas is finally back, alive, and for a moment everything looks brighter. Jack and Sam are ecstatic, and Dean’s had enough time to figure out what he wants to tell Cas. He’s ready to speak his truth.

    Except, Cas doesn’t seem to recognize Jack, and the first thing he does is ask Dean how he’s managed to get rid of the mark. He doesn’t remember that Chuck, the flimsy prophet he met years ago, was God and that they just beat his ass. Actually, there’s a lot he doesn’t remember… Including telling Dean he loved him before getting taken by the Empty.

    Now starts a different quest- figuring out what’s keeping a newly human Cas from remembering the past 5 years by their side, and helping him regain the memories he’s lost.

    Of course, as is custom for Winchesters, nothing goes as planned.

    Summary

    As a grease monkey turned college freshman, Dean's constantly three seconds away from being stressed out of his mind. It hardly helps that he's finally figuring out his sexuality in his thirties.

    What might help with that stress is a little phone number (and a big credit card bill). If he can't figure out how to be bisexual in person, he can at least give it a go over the phone, right?

    (It's probably a bad idea, but he really can't help himself.)

    Summary

    Dean dies with the Mark of Cain on his arm, waking up with black eyes and hellfire licking at his heels.

    Cas, sick on the stolen grace that's rotting inside him, gives chase.

    As his pursuit and Dean's evasion ebbs and flows, they begin to figure out the difference between marks given and marks received, and what it means when one such mark is faded but not forgotten.

    Summary

    "Fine, whatever. Love you too, asshole. I hope you enjoy your walk home with your stupid, grainy bread. Taking Nature's Own a little too much to heart, but sure," Dean tells him, flashing him a sarcastic smile and swiveling around in the aisle to march away. He throws out something over his shoulder, careless and barbed. "I'm not paying for that shitty cardboard." 

    Dean's three aisles over when he realizes what, precisely, he said. Thankfully, when he comes to this conclusion, he's holding a box of poptarts, so when he fumbles and drops them to the floor, it's not a huge mess. He stares down at the slightly dented box of Brown Sugar Poptarts, and he has a very swift and very unshakeable crisis right there and then. 

    Love you too, asshole. 

    No, no, no. Why would he say that? Why would he do that? In the middle of the goddamn grocery store while arguing about bread? That's not—that can't be how it happens. That can't be.

    The fact is, their meet-cute’s right out of a fucking storybook. Tale as old as time, or some shit.

    Except Dean doesn’t get a hard-on for libraries or randomly burst into song. And Cas? Cas is way too nerdy and harmless for anyone to call him a beast.

    Even if he does drink human blood.

    (In which Castiel is a hereditary vampire, Dean just wants to introduce him to movies and rock music, and their friends-with-benefits situation is either the worst idea they’ve ever had… or the best.)

    Summary

    When Jack pulled Castiel from the Empty he was covered in black goo, kneeling on all fours and immediately torn between wanting to wrap his kid in a hug and go back to the shadows. He had not expected to come back this time. Not many deathbed confessions are given a response and Castiel didn’t want to know.

    It took nearly a year to get Heaven in order. Father and son worked side by side to make Heaven the way it should have been from the beginning. But when it was done, Jack didn’t want to interfere anymore. He wanted to be hands off. He wanted to be a kid.

    When Dean was walking through a small coastal side town, killing time while his Baby was being repaired, he hadn’t expect to run into a small child with familiar blue eyes, nor did he expect to hear the voice of supposedly dead best friend.

    Summary

    In the state of Washington, under a near-constant cover of clouds and rain, there's a small town named Forks. Apparently, it’s Dean’s home for the next six months. Great. Just when they’re close to finding Mary’s killer, John benches Dean to bumfuck nowhere, giving him one rule: look after Sammy.

    When Dean enrolls Sam in the local high school, he has a strange encounter with one of Sam’s teachers, Mr. Castiel Novak. The man’s erratic behavior makes Dean wonder if maybe this is a hunt and there are, in fact, supernatural monsters in Forks. But as Dean gets closer to Cas, he finds himself unnaturally drawn to him. When Cas saves his life from a runaway van, leaving behind a large imprint that looks oddly like wings, Dean’s defenses start to crumble, and before he knows it, he’s falling hard and fast for the creature he should be hunting.
