    Summary

    It’s like the bunker gathers secrets. It holds them close. It watches, and listens, and discerns. And when an earthquake ripples across the Kansas flatlands, it knows how to protect itself.

    It doesn’t lament the loss when something vital cracks deep in the heart of it.

    After all, it’s been waiting for this.

    ..........

    The boys are locked in the bunker. And they're not alone.

    Summary

    "It's not safe outside these walls, Cas!"
    "Dean, if the world has already ended, then all that matters is the truth. And I want mine."

    What do you get when you mix a touch-starved, neurodivergent, career academic on a journey of self-discovery, a recently-disabled former soldier doing his best to save every last soul he meets (who refuses to admit that his injury has changed his life in the slightest), a dystopian road trip, coping skills that require safe words, and the persistent hold of a society that was irretrievably broken long before it finally collapsed?

    The apocalypse hasn't seen anything, yet.

    Summary

    Castiel made dying for Dean Winchester look easy.

    Dean knows how to die for someone. Dean knows how to lay down his life for those he cares about, to say yes in their place, to sacrifice himself in the moment to save the day. To save someone. To save Sam, Mary, John, Jack.

    Cas.

    And for all his knowledge about how to die, he has. While memories of the Pit remain locked in a distant corner of his mind, he’ll never forget the sacrifice he made for Sam, for the good of the world. Willingly. Happily. Dean remembers every death. How each one he welcomed if it made the difference, saved family, people. Dean Winchester would sacrifice himself ten times over for family, or the world, if it meant they would make it through in his stead. Dying for someone was easy to Dean.

    But Dean Winchester didn’t know how to be saved. Not when Sam offered up his life, not when anyone else did. Dean didn’t know how to keep on living so that sacrifice wasn’t all for nothing. How in the hell is he supposed to do that? To accept that?

    He doesn't.

    Summary

    There's only one person he could think of that would use that spell. If a "person" was the word for them. He could resist. He could say the Enochian counterspell that would render the summoning useless. Castiel did not have to answer the call. He was still trying to decide when he felt a tug, this time more insistent, bordering on painful.

    "Castiel, show yourself."

    His blood ran cold, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood up.

    "No," he whispered.

    It didn't matter. The magic was done, and Castiel found himself in a circle of holy fire, and a sigil, his sigil, drawn in blood.
