Summary
Finally, Dean can see himself with brutal clarity, and he hates it.
When Jody lets slip that Cas has returned from the Empty without telling him, Dean hits a wall—literally. Confronted with his own toxic patterns, he decides to undertake the painstaking, painful work of recovering from a lifetime of trauma, abandonment, and repression. As expected, it friggin' sucks.
Unfortunately, Dean's Journey of Personal Transformation™ is about to be derailed, because a new evil is rising and it's eating away at the foundations of the world. Bigger than Jack, bigger than Amara, it threatens the fundamental bond between all things. Sam, Dean, and their allies are summoned once more to the fight—only to find, there are no coincidences when dealing with the supernatural.
What's wrong with the Cupid arrows? Why are the demon deals getting annulled? How did Cas escape the afterlife version of Azkaban? Will Sam be able to choose between the two most amazing women he's ever met? Who will Dean find when he braves the darkness inside?
Can he bring himself to forgive Cas one more time?
And what's love got to do with it?

Summary
In which we follow Jack’s crash course in godhood, complete with rebuilding Heaven, filing celestial paperwork, and saving Castiel from the Empty (no big deal). With the skies fixed and souls finally at peace, everything should have been perfect. But Castiel’s silences spoke louder than his smiles, and Jack began to realize that something essential was still missing.
When a desperate prayer cuts through Heaven and Dean’s life hangs by a thread, Jack is forced to decide: keep his promise never to meddle, or give Castiel the one thing he’s always longed for...even if it means watching his father fall, not as an angel, but as a man.

Summary
“Why the hell didn’t you tell me about your deal?!” Dean’s voice booms, even louder than he meant to.
Between ragged breaths, Cas finally makes eye contact with Dean. His eyes are piercing, stark in contrast against the sludge lining his cheeks and dripping from his hair. Something deep in Dean’s chest aches at the stare — a shade of blue once gone for so long, and now a gaze so familiar. He drowns in it.
A small smile forms at the edges of the angel’s lips, like Cas knows something he doesn’t. “Hello, Dean.”
-
Dean's a grieving asshole and won't take Cas being dead permanently for an answer, so he pulls him out of the Empty himself.

Summary
Castiel's death hits Dean with a finality that leaves him drowning. Drowning in grief, in regret, in self-loathing, in heartbreak, in liquor. So when he stumbles across Lilly Sunder's notes on angels and, subsequently, a passage mentioning a gate to opening the Empty, he is determined to get Cas back.
No matter the cost.
Three weeks after Cas' return from the Empty, he is slowly healing from what the spell to retrieve him took. Three weeks after Cas' return, omens of angels and demons are scattered around the country. Three weeks after Cas' return, the Empty is bleeding.
Dean swore he would get Cas back no matter the cost. And he has, at the cost of endangering the balance of life and the afterlives. Dean has learned from dying and being the one left behind that it is easy to die for someone, but it is much harder to face the costs of surviving alongside them.
Even so, this time, Dean will not watch Cas die. And Cas has not and will not ever allow the same.

Summary
“Damn, it’s so good to have you back.”
Cas doesn’t respond, not with words. He just watches Dean, patient and still, like he’s waiting for something. Like he always did before. A quiet happiness in his expression.
Dean looks at him, for a long moment he really looks, and then his voice drops, low and rough and a little shaky. But with a very clear intention. “And are you going to watch me from there, or are you going to come closer?”
