Summary
Chuck was gone. The Empty, Death, the Devil and Doomsday. None of them would ever come knocking at Dean’s door again.
His life was one endless road, and he was driving down it at night in Baby with the headlights out, unable to see even a fraction of the way ahead of him. All his focus was on the rearview mirror, where Cas stood getting smaller and smaller, aglow in the setting sun that crowned him in a broken halo. Looking like a smear of golden blood against his jaw.
And Dean thought that feeling would last forever. That he’d drive til he hit concrete hard enough to crush him back to unholy dust.
Because Dean had forgotten the number one law of this fucked up universe, which was, that Dean Winchester was a luckier bastard than he deserved.
-
Cas comes back. Dean gets his shit together. We all cheer.

Beautiful prose. Some of the loveliest internal monologue. Beautiful metaphors and just way of understanding the world tbh. It talks of deans whole life all of his experiences in this moment yet focused on healing. On the after. On letting there be an after. “I’m littered with scars not wounds so I’m healing?” Gorgeous.

Summary
He looks over at Dean, who is not looking over at him. He’s checking his blind spots before pulling back onto the road. He even turns the blinker on as they leave the shoulder. It’s absurd. Sam thinks that he could reach out right now and his hand might go straight through Dean. He’s some kind of illusion of the moonlight hitting the windshield just right, and if Sam tilted his head the whole mirage of their brotherhood would disappear. Sam had momentarily seen past the mask Dean wears, and he hadn’t even realized he’d been wearing one.

Summary
“Wanna bet on it?”
“What?” Cas said.
“Wanna bet? Let me show you all of my favorite things and then if none of them even comes close to flying, you win, and you can sulk in the library all day. But until then, let me show you the perks of being human.”
or
Cas is human now. Dean had thought that Cas was coping fine until he found him crying in the library in the middle of the night. Out of an act of "friendship," Dean offers to show Cas all the things that make ‘being human’ worth it. It turns out, Dean really likes showing Cas things, and suddenly, these weird (not so platonic) fantasies start popping into his head.

Summary
A Curse of Obedience is cast on Dean. Dean finds himself forced to obey every “order” given to him (very literally). Worse, the witch made sure that he can’t even tip off Sam or Cas with what’s going on. Will either of them figure it out? Or will Dean be stuck doing what they say (even if it isn’t what they mean)?

Summary
“Maybe I know some things about myself,” he says. “And maybe you know them too. From– from rebuilding me or being in my head or just– from knowing me. From–”
“From loving you,” Cas supplies.
Dean looks at him and nods.
“Knowing and saying are not the same thing, Cas. Does that make sense?”Or: Dean Winchester comes to terms with some gender stuff.

Summary
“Of course I’ll come.” Cas said plainly, like meeting John Winchester was the most undemanding thing Dean could ask of him.
Only then, he was able to bring himself to meet Castiel’s gaze, calm in a way that untethered him from whatever humanity he harbored within him.
“You won’t like him much.”
Cas chuckled, no longer staring at Dean with unsettling intensity, but still close enough for Dean to feel his breath against the crook of his neck.
“A chance to practice the human art of lying,” he said, as a crooked smile bloomed from his lips and his humanity came flooding back.-

Summary
Huntersville, North Carolina. The place where, for nearly five months, Dean and Sam had pretended to be normal. The place where, for nearly five months, it had kind of worked.
Jed was Dean's first friend. He’d just needed a friend. He’d really needed a friend.
Jed was a friend. Jed was that friend. A good friend. Just a friend.
Jed was just a friend.
-
Carrying the Mark of Cain and losing more of himself every day, Dean returns to Huntersville, a town his dad left him and Sam in for months when he was only fourteen. The town where he made his first friend. More than friend. Returning to it decades later, Dean doesn't know what he's expecting. And he can't bring himself to admit what it is he wants, out loud.
He knows he's never gonna get it, anyway.

Summary
[ An Exploration of SPN Season 1 Through Dean's Eyes]
“Dad’s on a hunting trip,” Dean says, the words heavy and solemn, “and he hasn’t been home in a few days.”
In front of him, here and now, Dean watches Sam’s face shift. Watches the understanding creep into those families but distant eyes, watches as Sam straightens and digs deep for the training that John carved into his very bones.
“Jess,” Sam says, “excuse us.”
OR
“I was just going to college,” Sam says, and sounds like he means it. “It was Dad who said if I was gonna go, I should stay gone. And that’s what I’m doing.”
Dad didn’t mean it, Dean thinks. Dad never means it. He just gets angry sometimes, and you were always such a hot-head, and-
It doesn’t matter now.
OR
Saving people. Hunting things.
The family business.

Summary
Dean finds his mind wandering to a different patron at the bar– one of the construction workers.
They'd had a run-in by the toilet at one point; he'd been entering as Dean was leaving. Huge guy, taller than Dean but not as tall as Sam, yet easily bigger than both of them. He was ripped. Broad shoulders, massive arms, a decent gut. His sleeves were rolled up to reveal muscular forearms, the hairs coated in dirt. Dean hadn't taken much notice of his face, but as he'd squeezed past him to get to the bathroom, the man gave him a firm slap on the shoulder, just a casual touch, rough but friendly.
It probably wouldn't have taken much more force to knock him to his knees.
dean can't handle thinking about having sex with men normally so he fantasizes about them forcing themselves onto him instead like a fucking weirdooo.
not canon-compliant. set at a completely random point around s4-5, and don't pay any attention to the bullshit cases they're working i just cbf. mostly pwp/dean study. cas has wings and all that good stuff. -

Summary
"Most times when somebody sees their husband in a fucking thong shop they assume he’s cheating on them.”
Castiel blinks. “But… You’re not cheating on me…”
“I know I’m not cheating on you.”
“Which is why I assumed you were buying clothes for Eileen.”
Dean swears under his breath and pinches the bridge of his nose. “Look- Let’s just- Let’s forget this even happened, okay?” Even though it’s phrased as a question, Castiel understands it as closer to the command that it actually is.
But Castiel doesn’t want to forget this happened. Something is awkward and lingering in the air between them, in the way that Dean shifts from foot to foot and won’t meet Castiel’s eyes. And if Dean wasn’t shopping for Eileen, and he wasn’t shopping for another woman… The options for who was being shopped for are dwindling by the second.
Dean’s face is still pink. Castiel’s heart squeezes tight and forces itself up into his sternum.
“You were… shopping for yourself,” he says lowly.

Summary
Dean is always on the wrong side of the door, but he’s used to it by now. Not fitting the places life shoves him in.
The problem is when Sam’s on the other side.
(A character study inspired by Hozier's It Will Come Back .)

Summary
ON THE ROAD is just black asphalt and sky and never the same landscape twice. Guns and fake IDs locked safe inside the glove compartment, you drive ten-twenty-thirty hours between one hunt and the next, one phone call and the next.

Bookmark Notes:
"YOU WATCH SPELLBOUND as Dad eases the steaming gun from your too-young fingers with unfamiliar care, almost like you’re glass and he’s afraid to break you. He pats your back with the other hand one two three four times, one more than usual, and says hey buddy you did great. Look at me. Hey. You did great. Let’s go find your brother, let’s go find Sammy. The lifeless body of the shifter lies on the ground and there’s blood and juice and brain-matter blossoming in flowers around its head. The air stenches of gunpowder and death and tansies. You take one good look and then turn to follow Dad.
