Summary
'I would like to take in your most abused one,' Castiel says, looking at the rows of doors in the yellow corridor. 'Give him a good home.'
After his accident, Castiel needs someone to help him around the small brick house he lives in and the bookstore he owns. So, he adopts Dean; an omega who barely survived being dumped in a ditch and left for dead. Dean doesn't talk, but that's fine; they learn to live together in the quaint, rainy city surrounded by a green forest. Castiel just wants to give Dean a peaceful life he deserves, and maybe also - become his mate?

Summary
“Sam, you gotta hear about this ghost story I found the other day,” Susanne says over the speakerphone, just as loud as she has been for the last half hour.
For the most part, Castiel ignores her—or tries—and concentrates on the beads dangling from between his fingers, centerpiece pressed to his forehead. Praying doesn’t work, but some mornings, when the coffee doesn’t get him going and the walls feel more like a prison than a home, he sits at the library table and whispers empty words into the crucifix, like Jesus can ease the festering ache in his chest.
He can’t—no one else can either.

Summary
Sam really isn't surprised when, a few days after Dean's death, a hallucination of his brother starts following him around. What else is there for Sam's mind to do but fill the void?
When Dean tracks Sam down after crawling out of his own grave, he expected a big response to his return. He wasn't expecting Sam to look at him without an ounce of surprise and start talking to him about the latest omens he's tracking.

Summary
“You’re kinda nice, Dean,” he says, and Dean’s mouth falls open. Sam giggles and lifts a shaking hand to point at it. “Your teeth are showing.”
Dean huffs out a quiet laugh. “Oh, man, they got you on the good stuff,” he says. Sam responds with another giggle, and Dean shakes his head fondly.

Or, Sam is injured on a hunt and ends up doped on pain meds in the hospital with his big brother at his side; an unwavering comfort.

Summary
“Can I ask why?”
And Dean just laughs. It's short and sharp and bursts out past his lips like it’s cracking through drywall. “Hell if I know, Sam.”
“Seriously, Dean. C’mon.” Another bandaid is placed, and somehow it feels like giving a cancer patient Tylenol.
Dean’s bitter smile dims and he drags a hand over his face to wipe away lingering tears. “Sometimes, I just don’t think I can do it anymore,” he says, and it passes over his tongue like it's the aged and erratic gospel of suffering.
–
OR, Sam finds Dean on the bathroom floor and they're both just a little bit hopeless.
