Summary
A figure was tucked into the corner, murmuring incoherent things. Dean could have sworn he heard his own name amongst the nonsensical ramblings. He shone his flashlight on the moving silhouette, tense and trembling. Dean's shoulders dropped immediately. There was his trenchcoated friend, knelt against the wall, staring at his hands, darkened by..by something. His face was slick with blood, fingers bent in all the wrong angles. Simply breathing audibly rustled his ribs. Dean could tell something terrible happened.
OR
Dean finds Cas after months of absence—brainwashed, mind controlled, and injured.

Summary
Angels weren’t supposed to present in vessels. Their grace kept them stable, contained, obedient. Betas by design.
But Castiel was always too close to the fire. And every time he brushed against humanity, something inside him burnt. His body remembered what Heaven tried to forget.

Summary
Buck knew without a doubt that if any one of his friends or family could be in his mind for even a second they’d go mad. The constant screaming, the repeated phrases of his greatest hits—they’d never survive it. He doesn’t even know if he can survive it.
When he got like this in the past, it was always easily cured with a quick text to Bobby or plopping onto the Diaz couch with a beer and a sigh. Except neither of those things were possible anymore.
Bobby was gone
Chris was gone
Eddie was gone
Bobby is gone.Everyone left, everyone had someone, but Buck’s someone is gone and even when he was here, Buck was terrified of being too much, doing too much, until even Bobby gave up on him. It had happened before and not just with Bobby.
(Or: Buck is struggling more than anyone knows, and the 8x17 fight and Buck’s need to take back control over his life manifests physically)

Summary
“Sorry i’m sad that Bobby is dead”
And that's all it took to Eddie’s angry to come out. He grabs Buck by the shoulder and points his finger to his face.
“You’re not the only one that lost him”
The words came out of his mouth like sharp knives, his eyes watering. He wasn't there, he couldn’t do anything to change what happened. Maybe if Eddie had been in the lab, things would have been different. Fuck, he would give his life for Bobby’s. Bobby saved his, and has always been by his side in the worst moments, always giving him advice and trying to show him the right path. Now that he's gone, who’s gonna help him?
