Summary
He's about to ask who the hell she is, what the hell she thinks she's playing at— but then she squints, like she's trying to look past Dean's eyes to see right into him, and her head cocks birdlike, just so, and it tugs at something under his ribs, blooming into an ache that feels as good as it hurts, because somehow, it's him. It's Cas.
The Empty sends Castiel back different.

Summary
Blood—All Dean remembers of the incident is blood, and all he feels is the pain of wounds he can't see unless Sam holds a mirror up to his back. Banishing Castiel away from Billie and the Entity worked, maybe a little too well. Meanwhile halfway across the country, a mysterious man washes up in the middle of a freak storm off the Florida coast, paralyzed and mute, but with the ability to tell his nurse just who he is.
Almost half a world away, Castiel crashlands, and Dean believes in his heart that he killed him. But the world is small, and maybe, just maybe, for once, Dean is wrong.

Summary
It's a year out from rescuing Cas from the Empty (again), a year since Dean and Cas could finally have what they both wanted — but for Cas, it still doesn't feel like a happy ending. His grace is never going to be what it was once, and he is struggling to come to terms with it. He finds an interesting coping mechanism, tries to hide it, and finds out that Dean is no longer willing to accept any secrets between them.

Summary
[ This fic is written to coincide with the events of episode 9.06, Heaven Can't Wait, and occasionally retreads scenes and borrows dialogue directly from the show. The rest... let's call it canon conjecture. ]
When he picked up the phone, Dean hadn’t been banking on Idaho, or a case, or Cas. Now, he’s gotta contend with all three and it’s giving him a lot to think about. He’s living somewhere between memory and moment, locking horns with big nasty guilt every which way he turns. But it’s a case. And more importantly? It’s Cas.

This is not a haunting.
Something has simply been here for far too long.
(And Dean doesn't remember why he's here- but he knows in his gut that he's not leaving until he does.)

Summary
Another “Cas comes back” fic. Because I believe in happy endings (even if you have to wade through pools of angst to get there).
“We wouldn’t trade you for the world, Cas. And I know you’re into all the self-sacrificing bullshit, but maybe it’s time to just settle down and let people—” he almost says love “—care about you.”
New chapter every Friday!

Summary
This is where Dean spread his ashes after Lucifer killed him. This is where Castiel first came back, this place with the windmill and the flowers and the sun. This place that, Dean told him once, drunk enough that his eyes got soft and his cheeks got dark and his mouth trembled, he picked out especially for Cas.
*
Castiel comes back, and he goes home.

Summary
Dean did a lot of thinking about when and how he would get Cas back. Months of it, actually, stretching into a year, because while Sam and Eileen were settling into their new lives, Dean was stuck. He was stuck in a faraway corner of the bunker, dark and empty and hollow, ringing with the sound of a vibrating phone.
So when he falls to his knees in that same room, exhausted, hurting, breathless, and he feels a hand on his shoulder and looks up to see Cas, he realizes that he doesn't have a single clue about what to do now. Getting Cas out had been easy--actually, it'd been the opposite of that--but the planning of it, the methodical desperation of one attempt after the other had been a familiar rhythm. It'd been soothing almost, solid, something to focus on that wasn't Cas's eyes, watery and jubilant in a way Dean hadn't ever seen that up close on anyone, let alone Cas.
And now Cas is pulling him to his feet, and Dean's stumbling, and he instinctually grabs Cas's arm, and his hand lights up with a fire that he isn't prepared for.
"Hello, Dean."

Summary
Cas’s fingertips held in his own, Dean brings the angel’s hand to his mouth, and presses his lips to Cas’s weathered knuckles.
It’s just a thank you. It’s just a way of saying thank you.
Of saying 'thanks, I know that having to do this shit all the time must annoy you, and I know that for some reason you’ve chosen to worry about me and I’m sorry that you have to, and also, I appreciate it.'
It took Dean years not to resent the help of Cas healing him. But slowly the resentment melts into tolerance, and again into thankfulness. And every time Cas touches Dean to heal him, he starts saying his thanks by repaying in touch. It starts with grazing his lips against Cas's knuckles, squeezing his hands, kissing the soft skin of his wrist.
It’s a way of saying thanks. And, he guesses, sorry.
Of saying, 'Sorry for scaring you. I don’t know how me being hurt could scare you like it always seems to. But it always seems to. And that scares me.'

Summary
Twenty-three years of head-over-heels, devastating devotion and love, love, love for the man with bright eyes and dark hair. Fourteen years of friends, best friends, of always together. One moment of rejection.
Nine years of apart. Nine years of heartbreak, nine years of continents away, of not speaking, of no acknowledgement, no interaction, no closure, no peace. No happiness. Nine years of Dean’s life entering motions, going through them, constant, cold and mechanic, like clockwork. Nine years of alone.
God. Nine years. A lot has changed. And yet Dean still loves Cas just the same. Even if his heart hurts all kinds of different.
On the day of Jimmy Novak's funeral, Dean sees Cas for the first time in nine years. He adored Castiel the moment he met him, at only four years old. But after fourteen years of friendship destroyed by one moment of heartbreak, and after nine years of silence, Dean is convinced Cas will want nothing to do with him. And it's killing him.

“What?” Belphegor drawls. “You don’t like me, too?”
When Dean doesn’t answer, Belphegor smiles, a toothy grin that brings back memories of Jack in waves.
“Or maybe, Dean, you like somebody else.”

Summary
In the hay loft of an old barn, two lost boys find each other.
The first time, they’re children, with their fathers’ bruises on their bodies and a connection that wasn’t meant to be.
A decade later, the bruises have solidified, sunk into their bones. Dean carries it like a thin veneer of devil-may-care attitude, using it as a shield from anything too real spilling out. In Cas it swirls as a smoky darkness under the white shirt and silver cross of being the pastor’s son.
Their connection still isn’t meant to be, but Dean can’t stay away, even if the friendship threatens to destroy both of them.

Summary
Dean eases Baby down the frontage road, trying not to look in the rearview mirror as his home gets smaller and smaller behind him.
He’s done this a hundred times. He’s driven down this road in the soft morning light, heading out to some little town in some distant corner of the country. This is a job like any other.
“It’s not like we’re never coming back,” Cas says from the passenger seat.

Dean and Cas and the open road, to the tune of Led Zeppelin.

Summary
“As for your current predicament… there may be something I can do to help.” Cas looks hesitant even as he says it, casting his eyes sidelong at Dean.
Dean turns to him. “What d’you mean?”
Castiel’s lips press into a thin line, all of the jovial glint gone from his eyes. “PTSD and trauma can alter pathways and connections in your brain, in a very physical way. Because these changes are physical… it may be possible to… heal them, in a sense.”
“Heal my brain?” Dean shoots back incredulously.
or the one where they finally talk about what cas said before the empty took him

Summary
He has little to do this morning — he has little to do most mornings, these days — and so the indulgences. The eggs, and the peaches, and the newspapers he doesn't read. He presses his palm flat against his stomach. Too many indulgences, if he is to be honest. Still, he does not quite have the mind to stop. The world has taken its fair share from him, and then some. He does not have the strength to fight the want in him anymore, what little of it there is left.
From somewhere beyond the kitchen, a song. It is soft, and jazzy, and unlike the music that Dean used to think of as his. He thinks of this music as his, now. Things are different from how they used to be. It is all so very sad. Or so very good, depending.
Or;
Dean has a home. Dean has been waiting. And grief comes knocking.

Summary
“Come, now,” he heard Cas rasp. It wasn’t coming from the phone anymore, but from right outside the door.
Dean lowered the phone and took a hesitant step forward, his bare foot sinking into the damp, rotting carpet. “Cas, what’s wrong? I don’t … You’re not making any sense.”
“I have something for you,” Cas said, and this time it came as a whisper in a language Dean didn’t know, yet somehow understood.
Dean froze in his tracks, his hand hovering just over the doorknob. He wanted so desperately for it to be Cas on the other side of this door, but he knew deep down that something was horribly, horrifically wrong.
The rise of a new, hands-off God has unintended consequences, and the promise of free will reaches further than anyone intended. In the absence of the one who'd locked them away, and beneath the cracked and abused surface of the Midwest, an Old God stirs. Here, death is not the peace you're looking for, and there's one person left to save.
Or: family don't end in blood, and neither does Dean Winchester.
