    Summary

    Grace squeezes out a wet chuckle, thick with emotion, before suddenly falling silent. Its mouth does that strange up-down up-down movement, like it’s trying to figure out if it’s perplexed or amused. “Wait a minute—“ The human flops on its side to face them.

    “Rock, that almost sounds like I’m your kids’ \.\\.”

    “New word.”

    “Uh… companion animal.”

    —————

    Or

    Grace and Rocky talk about evolution, family dynamics, and dogs.

    Summary

    // "Go— Get him back, Benry,” Tommy said, voice hushed and worried. “Please.”
    As if Benry could think of doing anything else.//
    //+ Benry and Gordon get separated from the rest of the science team. Low on energy and out of his depth, Benry has to do his best to keep the (literally) unarmed man alive as they try to regroup and make their escape. Unfortunately, things at Black Mesa are rarely ever that straightforward.//
    [No Betrayal AU, and also Gordon and Benry are friends-ish, they just fight a lot. Starts at the "ITS JUST BUGS BRO" scene and then everything else is rewritten.]

    Summary

    “If you’re talking about the time you ate all those souls…you had to be stopped, Cas.”

    “I agree,” Castiel shrugged, “But would you have tried to kill me if I was human and had caused such chaos?”

    A muscle in Dean’s jaw rippled, “We don’t deal with humans, that’s what the cops are for!”

    “Dean…” Sam admonished softly, looking stricken.

    Dean blinked, stunned by his own words. “I mean…I didn’t mean –“

    Castiel swallowed, closing his eyes against a lance of pain in his chest that had nothing to do with the binding or the sigil. “Yes, you did. And its true, in any case.” Castiel gave him an out, but the words stung. He wasn’t human. Which meant he was – in a hunter’s mind – a creature.

    An animal.

    Something inside him felt like it was icing over...

    _________

    Castiel is a seraph and a soldier. He doesn’t know how to be anything else. But knowing Sam and Dean Winchester has changed him in ways no angel has been changed before.

    Not a human, not an angel. All he knows is what he’s not. When an ancient spell threatens to strip him of the free will he worked so hard for, Castiel has to re-learn what it means to be an angel, not just a Warrior of God.

    Summary

    Cas had one hand curled over his stomach, one grinding against his forehead, and his eyes were darting everywhere. Dean couldn’t catch his gaze. “I n-need to find—I need to get—safe.”

    “Let me help. It’s me, Cas. It’s me.”

    Something in Cas’s expression calmed, for a moment, but then he looked like he was on the verge of tears. “It’s me, we’re family,” he said, eyes finally looking at Dean straight-on, intense.

    --------------------------------

    When Dean nearly runs over an injured Castiel on the way back from meeting Metratron at the end of 08x21, it doesn't take long to realize something is seriously wrong with his friend. More than he'd realized, more than Cas can hide. He can't speak, can't stand, can't remember things. Dean will have to swallow the bitter feelings he's been harboring since the crypt and help him, or Cas might not make it through the night. But if he does pull through, maybe Dean will get another chance to make Cas understand what he's been trying to say.
