    Summary

    After a hunt that goes very wrong, Cas discovers two things: First, the closer he is to Dean - the more of their skin that touches - the quicker Dean heals, with the added benefit of less diminishment of his grace.

    Second - it seems Dean has realized this as well, and might be putting himself into increasing danger in order to warrant this physical contact from Castiel.

    Castiel means to approach him about this - but he knows Dean, and assumes he'd meet with a brick wall. But the choice is taken from him when Dean is badly injured during a hunt and forces the issue.

    Summary

    Dean lasts three months.

    Dean does what Sam tells him, keeps his distance, lets Cas pass him again and again, but Dean’s never been good at being patient, because after weeks and weeks of Dean’s longing growing and growing, all it takes is for Cas to meet his eyes one time and Dean snaps.

    Cas is too slow to escape him.

    Dean pins him up against the door of his bedroom before Cas can even turn the knob.

    For a long time, Dean can’t get his tongue to work. For a long time, they sway against the door, and when Dean knows that he’ll never be able to get a word out, at least not without turning into a blubbering mess, he just closes his eyes and leans his forehead against Cas’ and Cas inhales then, sharp and surprised.

    “Dean,” Cas says, softly, gently, and Dean can feel the tears sliding down his cheeks.

    a coda to 15.18, 15.19 and 15.20 where Dean and Cas reunite and there's a very happy ending because I'm a sappy person and because happiness is what they deserve

    Summary

    Dean’s your typical half-orphaned, monster-killing 22-year-old until a trenchcoated stranger crashes into his back windshield one September night, claiming he’s an angel that knows him from the future and that he’s on the run.

    Frigging fantastic.

    (Or, in which Castiel gets stuck in Dean’s timeline preseries and Dean kind of hates it—until he doesn’t.)

    Summary

    He feels Dean’s eyes on him when he thinks he won’t notice, and Castiel, feeling inexplicably tired, ignores it.

    "There's no safer place for you than here," Dean assures him, as the impala climbs upwards, the road turning narrower and bendier. "It's a hunter's guesthouse, kind of. Really quiet area. No one will ask questions."

    "I see," Castiel says, hands tightly folded in his lap.

    *

    As Cas is ordered to leave the bunker, he doesn’t end up at the Gas n’ Sip. Instead, he becomes a worker at a hunter’s guesthouse, situated in the middle of nowhere - where time appears to stand still, and he is left with an aching human body, relentless human chores, and recurring nightmares that feel distinctly like memories. So, he copes with his new form of existence the obvious way: by learning to shoot guns, ride a motorcycle, and to entertain the incessant flirtations from the other resident James.

    Summary

    “You know what Jimmy Novak looked like. You think he was beautiful—gorgeous, hot, all of it. It’s him. Not me. This isn’t my face.”

    “But,” Dean says. He doesn’t know where he’s going with it. Just that Cas’ face is right there, brows drawn together and cheekbones gleaming in the lamplight. It’s a face that’s made his heart skip probably a couple hundred beats collectively since they met.

    And it used to belong to someone else.
