    Summary

    Cas swallows again, selfishly holding a bit tighter around the hunter as he mumbles, “I’m just worried about Jack,”.

    Lie, Dean detects immediately. He can tell that it’s a lie. He just came in and found Cas crying with the page about himself—that Dean earnestly wrote—in the Bestiary open on the table; what the hell would Jack have to do with that?

    Dean next speaks with a gentle suspicion in his voice, sounding not like he’s accusing the angel but instead like he’s opening the floor for him to tell the truth without judgment. “That’s all?” he says softly, voice comforting and familiar by Cas’s ear.

    “...Yeah,” Cas says, lying again.

     

    (TLDR: Cas dealing with his secret of the Empty deal, until he can't anymore. Lots of angsty hurt/comfort, tears, feels, and softness.)

    Summary

    Dean Winchester has been leasing out his extra cabin up by Moose Head Lake in Maine for many years now. He has grown accustom to the rhythm and predictability of life in the quiet forests of Northern Maine. Something always felt missing though, and heart ache from lost love had pushed Dean to lock himself away. When he suddenly meets the blue eyed writer who is the first tenant of the season, things in Dean's life get turned upside down, and maybe he is willing to take a chance again, even if it might mean getting hurt.

    Summary

    At the breakfast table, Jack enthuses about the special limited edition Christmas version of that cookie cereal he always eats—which, as far as Dean can tell, is the exact same as the regular version, only with red and green sprinkles substituting the usual brown specks that represent chocolate chips, and it costs a few cents extra.

    Jack’s head pops up as he looks Dean right in the eye and says, blithely, mouth full of cereal, “It’s Christmas Eve.”

    Dean frowns. “No it ain’t.”

    Sam shoots Dean a look of pure pity. “Yeah, Dean, it is.”

    Cas just squints.
