    Summary

    Steve didn’t talk much, or at all sometimes.

    He never knew it wasn’t normal.

    The only people he ever saw were his parents, and they never spoke to him unless it was to scold him.

    As more people come into Steve's life, he finds it hard to find the words he needs, and sometimes silence is all he can offer them.

    When he gets close to Eddie Munson, an unlikely bond begins. Eddie is full of life and words, and Steve worries he won't be interesting enough to keep him around.

    Little does Steve know, Eddie is perfectly fine with sitting in silence with him.

    OR

    Steve has selective mutism and often can't talk in front of people. Here are five people who expect Steve to speak to them and one person who never does, Eddie Munson.

    Summary

    And finally, Dean thought about Cas.

    What it would all mean to have Cas in his entirety, in every way imaginable. To have him sleep caressed and sun-kissed beneath early morning sheets, the weight of his fingers tracing Dean’s palm down peaceful corridors, his scent cloaked in Dean’s very bones. To have his warmth as comfort and his hands as a guide that slid over Dean’s skin with familiarity. No more tentativeness, no more skimming the edges and tracing the seams of their story.

    Peace. He wanted peace. But with Cas back from the Empty with his memories shredded, and Jack nowhere to be seen, what would peace even look like? And, after everything, was it something Dean deserved?

    Summary

    He watches Sam’s finger point to the written words, “Dean still hardly talks,”.

    A few beats of silence pass—nothing out of the ordinary, at this point.

    “...Is this what’s happening?” Sam asks gently, implementing that tone of voice that always seems to remind Dean with a heart clenched in nostalgia that his brother is not a little boy anymore, but rather is now a grown man with an impressive emotional maturity.

     

    (TLDR: Dean Winchester and selective mutism: told throughout different stages of his life now that it has come back in full-force yet again after losing Cas to the Empty. Angst, hurt/comfort, and most importantly: happy ending.)
