    Summary

    Dean Winchester is a ghost.
    He doesn't like to think about how he became a ghost (in fact, he can't really remember it beyond blood-soaked flashes of horror) but he has his friends to keep his mind off of things. Too bad that all his friends are ghosts, but they live in relative peace in an abandoned mansion in Maine. But their hard-won peace comes to an end when their house is sold and Castiel Novak, along with his niece Claire, move in.
    Dean tries to navigate his attraction to Castiel--attraction made all the worse because he can't even touch Castiel. But further investigation reveals that Castiel is hiding secrets--dangerous secrets. He and Claire are hunted, and danger constantly presses in around them from all sides. Being a ghost is no guarantee of safety in this world, and when Claire and Castiel's past finally catches up with them, it will bring them all face to face with the greatest evil of all--and one that might even be linked to Dean's own past.

    Summary

    The briefing was simple: ‘Stand guard over the Michael Sword until the battle is ready to commence. Await further instructions.’

    Castiel doesn’t mind working security duty; he was briefed shortly after the initial salvation of the Sword from the pit, and again before taking up his position. He knows what to do. However, it’s easy to forget that the green room isn’t real. Time moves differently there, the space ever-changing to make a prison of mountains, cathedrals, salt flats, orchards, and whatever Castiel was led to believe about Heaven’s greatest weapon—Dean Winchester is something entirely unexpected.

    Summary

    Dean drains his bottle of beer, sets it on the table and gets up, heading for the kitchen. Maybe to fetch another, maybe to leave. But Castiel doesn’t want him to go, doesn’t want to leave this conversation unfinished; he remembers his regret of just a few hours ago, that Dean had never known how he loved him.

    “Wait,” he says and gets to his feet as Dean passes by. They’re standing close – close enough that Castiel can feel the heat of Dean’s body, the vibrancy of his soul brushing against his grace. “Dean, I have to tell you something...”

    Set after the S11 finale.
