Summary
Set after The Trap (15x8)
There are a lot of things Dean thought he'd never get to have: a home, a loving relationship, a happy ending. With the bunker serving as home and stability with Sam (Dean might even be willing to call it a loving relationship out loud), it looks like two out of three is going to have to be good enough. Chuck and the end of the world are bearing down on them yet again, so Dean places hashing things out with Cas as another thing on the list of "never haves." But then, they end up back in Purgatory and things come full circle for Dean and his angel.
Note: Although this is set in the same canon divergent universe as the rest of the Arcana series, you won't miss anything by not reading this part if you're only here for the wincest. It can be read as standalone, so you also don't need to read the rest of the series if you're only interested in the wincestiel.
