Summary
Castiel comes back, human, and suddenly the world feels different. Dean calls him Castiel at first for fun, to mask the weight of everything, but it doesn’t stay a joke. With every repetition, it becomes something else—tender, binding.
OR
A story about finding each other, quiet mornings, stumbling into domesticity, farmer’s markets, paint stains and coffee rings, maybe one last case, and the raw intimacy of learning each other without walls. In small rituals, they discover what it means to live without blood and fear, and to love without it.Or
A quiet love story about humanity, healing, and the way a name can mean everything.or
they get together, kiss, and have filthy sex, too.--
"The first time Dean says his full name, it startles him, deep, hits him like a thunderbolt. His eyes widen before he can stop it, and the word strokes something ancient in him, as old as the last wisps of his grace holding his skin together, and yet, embarrassingly human. It lands somewhere deep in his chest, somewhere to the top of his lungs, igniting him like a dropped match in dry grass. And something—heat or want maybe—flickers to life.
Dean doesn't look away. Then he says it again, slower." -

Summary
After Chuck falls and Jack becomes the new God, Jack makes a deal with the Empty to open Heaven’s gates and free all of the fallen angels, including Castiel. Castiel then faces a difficult decision: stay in Heaven as a restored angel with his wings, or return to Earth as a human man with a soul.
After making his choice, Castiel steps into his new life with real purpose. He chooses Dean and returns to Earth as a man, his Grace replaced by a human soul. Together, they face the everyday ups and downs of mortal life. This is a look at the world after Chuck - a glimpse into what life might have been like for Castiel and the Winchesters after gaining true free will.

Summary
The word slips out because he’s half asleep and they’re arguing over the last dregs of coffee in the pot.
“Make your own, honeybun,” Dean mutters into his mug, hand clamped around the plastic handle of the carafe that he holds above his head.
Cas asks, in a voice like a man who’s discovered a new breed of skittish animal, “Did you just call me a ‘honeybun?’”
Uh. Roll back the footage and double-check—yeah, he did.

Summary
Dean saves Castiel from the Empty, but that fixes nothing.
You do not walk into the void with a human soul and emerge unaltered.
You do not walk into the void with a human soul, period.
But Dean did. Worse, Dean did it for Castiel. To rescue him. Out of friendship, fraternity. Out of love. Just—not the right kind.
Perhaps it's wrong of him, perhaps it's unfair and petty and all-too-human, but.
Castiel resents him for it.

Summary
After Jack has absorbed Chuck's powers, Dean asks him for help. Dean risks his neck to get into the Empty and rescue Castiel. Dean's been haunted by Cas's death and unable to move on. He's able to get Cas back, the trouble is that there's a lot that's still unsaid between them. On the other hand, there's a lot that has been said between them that they are also having trouble processing. It's causing friction between them as they navigate their new circumstances together. The two are struggling to get on the same page and to understand one another. To make matters worse, Sam keeps sticking his nose where it doesn't belong and it's really starting to grate on Dean's nerves. What does he have to do to make Sam understand this is serious, and seriously personal too!? He's going to get that moose to take him seriously one way or another.
"I wanna hold you in my arms, yeah
I'm never gonna let you go, 'cause I like your charm
Communication breakdown, it's always the same
Havin' a nervous breakdown, drive me insane"

Summary
This isn’t the first time he’s been in the bunker with just Sam and Dean, but last time there was room for improvement. It hadn’t at all seemed likely at first that he’d be able to show Dean he could be worthwhile, but there was at least scope for it, and in the end it had come true, at least temporarily. Now, he’s already pulled out all the stops within his ability – nearly died over and over – he has nothing more to give Dean.
And for all the unfathomability of his powers now, they don’t reach the one place that matters.
After he gets Chuck's powers, Jack decides to go back to the bunker rather than trying to rule heaven alone. He's not having a good time. -

Summary
Chuck has been defeated, and Dean and Sam are finally free. Freedom is all Dean wanted, or so he thought, but life has felt like a chore lately. Might have something to do with the fact that Cas is up in Heaven and hasn’t so much as stopped by to say hello since Jack busted him out of the Empty.
Everything changes when sinkholes begin to appear all over the globe and the air is awash with whispers of a strange, powerful entity. It turns out that in rearranging the afterlife, Jack and Cas have woken something that should never have been woken. And, according to a book of prophecy in the Men of Letters library, it’s up to Dean and Cas to sort it out… together.
Should be fine, right?

Metatron's and Zachariah's Fix-It by silver stake through the heart (Dusk_Sky)

Summary
Now God is defeated and Heaven has a new guideline, Castiel is working dutifully among the other angels. Too dutifully for Metatron's opinion. Castiel isn’t any angel! He can't fall into line like this, fading from Earth, from Dean’s existence, as if he never existed. It's not an admissible end for his story. He needs to come back to his senses.
Fortunately, Metatron has the perfect idea to make him realize he can’t give up his life on Earth so easily...
POVs: Metatron, Cas

Summary
“Hello Dean.”
It’s too normal. Too inconsequential. He says it the way he always says it. But greeting Dean is always relief. It’s coming home, and it is peppered through their lives far too sporadically for his liking. It is the distilled rejection of Heaven, his own worship for man, for a man, before God. He says it with everything he was denied. Everything Dean taught him.

Summary
"He takes the momentum from the push & lets himself stalk down the hallways of the bunker until he gets to the door. It's been closed for weeks, a physical barrier between Dean & the horrors inside. He takes a look around, attempting to make sure Sam isn't there. He's been asking about the dungeon, about moving forward & cleaning things up. He hasn't pushed about the details, but he's starting to get frustrated, Dean can sense it. But, he can't get himself to even say his name let alone think about what happened in that room. He takes a deep breath & steels himself before turning the handle."
