    Summary

    Faith, not merely of different creeds, but arrived at by different convictions, had brought them each to meet on this battlefield. Faith, mingling into something mutually carved, would carry them forward from it.

    In searching for an answer to the question of what their purpose is meant to be, Yusuf and Nicolo entwine their souls.

    Summary

    "Tell me, why did you come? Why did you join these invaders? To kill? You don't seem so…" Yusuf considered his next words. "Empty inside," he finished.

    "I was called. By God. I was a priest, but I knew I could do more with a sword than with words and blessings. I came to protect pilgrims. That's why I'm here."

    "Are you?"

    Nicolo glared and crossed his arms.

    "A priest. What sin are you repenting that you had to devote your whole life to God?"

    "What?" Nicolo snapped, suddenly hating Yusuf very much.

    "What is so dark and terrible," Yusuf said, leaning close--much too close--to Nico, "that you had to run so far?"

    Summary

    Here is what remains of Dean Winchester’s life: one brother (still living), one hundred fifty-seven thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight empty beer bottles, an unappreciated collection of cassette tapes, a pile of flannels that would very nearly outlive the existence of the species God called humanity, forty-two cents, seventy-three dollars, a car that will remain unused until after the passing of Sam Winchester where it will be then melted down into scrap metal, a weathered headstone, an already fading reputation, and a many-times folded square of a menu for the only restaurant in Lebanon that Dean had never attended but thought frequently of visiting with someone he loved very deeply.

    There are, of course, other items, tangible and intangible, that Dean Winchester has left behind, but these are the ten items on which his Heaven is built.

    Here is the sum total of Dean Winchester’s Heaven: nine perfectly happy moments and one fantasy, spread across thirty-nine miserable years. The fantasy is something Naomi lets Castiel give Dean. She knows Castiel thinks it will let Dean escape. Castiel is wrong.

    Summary

    Death, as any salesman will tell you, is the process by which the existential dust that all people and animals and plants and some lakes are made out of finally ceases the energetic process of expending itself. Death is when the machinery of being gives up the ghost, so to speak. Death is not the primal dumpster of slavery (to quote Patricia Williams) nor the spectral something-ness of the disappeared (to paraphrase Avery Gordon).

    Death is a yielding love letter to the stars. Put another way: Death is un-American.

    or: Sam drives out to Seattle. It takes him a year to get back.

    Summary

    He used to feel a sense of loyalty and obligation towards this vessel, a desire to do better that flared up each time he saw the mirrored reflection of Jimmy Novak’s face. But now, he thinks with a stab of clarity, those feelings are unnecessary. There’s nothing to be loyal to anymore; there’s just him.

    “This is good,” Cas whispers to his hands, testing the words against the cold ache in his chest. “This is good."

    * * *

    Cas tries using positive affirmations to trick himself into feeling happy and comfortable as a human. And, well—maybe he throws a little bit of praise Dean’s way, too.

    DCBB 2015. The sea; it swallows me. It comes up to my knees and it swallows me. The boys owe Jody a few dozen favours, and so when her niece goes missing near an old fishing village on the coast of Maine, Dean, Sam, and a newly human Castiel agree to take the case on. They settle into an old abandoned lighthouse-keepers' cottage, and slowly the tide comes in. (post-s8)

    Summary

    “Nonsense.” Jane turned to Dean. “You are a boy, yes?” Dean nodded. “You want to dance?” Dean looked at Mary, who froze then looked down. Dean shook his head. “Listen,” Jane said. “Dancing will be good for you. You will get all the ladies. You will get big and strong. Like a man.” Dean’s eyes were getting wider and wider, but he didn’t move. Waiting for Mary.

    “Jane,” Mary said, stepping in to rescue Dean. “He’s a little shy. Maybe you can convince him tomorrow.”

    Or, the 1980s is the peak of the Jazzercise craze. When Dean is four, Mary starts taking him with her.
