Summary
“If you’re talking about the time you ate all those souls…you had to be stopped, Cas.”
“I agree,” Castiel shrugged, “But would you have tried to kill me if I was human and had caused such chaos?”
A muscle in Dean’s jaw rippled, “We don’t deal with humans, that’s what the cops are for!”
“Dean…” Sam admonished softly, stricken.
Dean blinked, stunned by his own words. “I mean…I didn’t mean –“
Castiel swallowed, closing his eyes against a lance of pain in his chest that had nothing to do with the binding or the sigil. “Yes, you did. And its true, in any case.” Castiel gave him an out, but the words stung. He wasn’t human. Which meant he was – in a hunter’s mind – a creature.
An animal.
Something inside him felt like it was icing over...
_________
Castiel is a seraph and a soldier. He doesn’t know how to be anything else. But knowing Sam and Dean Winchester has changed him in ways no angel has been changed before.
Not a human, not an angel. All he knows is what he’s not. When an ancient spell threatens to strip him of the free will he worked so hard for, Castiel has to re-learn what it means to be an angel, not just a Warrior of God.

Summary
Dean refused to look up his soulmate. His parents ran into each other by chance. Karen stopped by Bobby’s garage after her car unexpectedly broke down. Sam got seated next to Eileen on a plane, and he spent two hours miming conversation before she admitted she read lips.
Was it stupid for Dean to hold out for a story like that? Probably.
But he doesn’t regret his decision - not until Castiel Novak wanders into his tattoo parlor, asking about a cover up for his soulmark.

Summary
Castiel slips from his chair to kneel at Dean’s feet. He takes Dean’s hands in his, and there on the floor holding something with devotion, he understands Communion. He understands Eucharist. He understands believing in someone so deeply that to shelter a piece of them within yourself is an act of untempered faith, love and prayer and deep-wide trust.
*
Cas comes back. Dean can’t stop touching him.

Summary
You wish you loved him differently, loved him for another time or another place, but you love him the only way you know how, with your hands tied behind your back, gasping for breath into the hollow spaces he leaves.

Summary
While looking for a solution to defeat Chuck and bring everyone back, Sam, Dean, and Jack encounter the original Death, who tells them they need an archangel. So Sam and Jack will search the earth for Michael, while Dean enters the Empty to find Gabriel… and he’s not leaving without Cas.
Because Dean has a soul, the Empty isn’t nothingness. He crosses vast, punishing landscapes, grappling with his feelings for Castiel while memories of the two of them haunt him—and memories of his rescue from Hell resurface. As Dean travels deeper into the Empty he discovers that its residents are awake, and they want revenge. Dean’s got to reach Castiel before they do, but he’s racing toward a secret in the heart of the Empty that will change everything.

Summary
Red Strings of Fate touched everyone in one way or another, but only Dean Winchester could see them. Every day of his life, everyone he'd ever met. His own solitary thread trailed after him on every hunt, every research expedition to his grandfather's libraries. His premonitions of danger had saved him time and again, but he refused to follow a thread he knew held no guarantee of lasting love.
Skipping out on the Men of Letters' latest intrigue, however, led him to a church haunted by something much holier than ghosts, and an enigmatic priest who would push him to confront fate once and for all.

Summary
Dean dies with the Mark of Cain on his arm, waking up with black eyes and hellfire licking at his heels.
Cas, sick on the stolen grace that's rotting inside him, gives chase.
As his pursuit and Dean's evasion ebbs and flows, they begin to figure out the difference between marks given and marks received, and what it means when one such mark is faded but not forgotten.
Written for the 2015 DCBB.

Summary
“Come, now,” he heard Cas rasp. It wasn’t coming from the phone anymore, but from right outside the door.
Dean lowered the phone and took a hesitant step forward, his bare foot sinking into the damp, rotting carpet. “Cas, what’s wrong? I don’t … You’re not making any sense.”
“I have something for you,” Cas said, and this time it came as a whisper in a language Dean didn’t know, yet somehow understood.
Dean froze in his tracks, his hand hovering just over the doorknob. He wanted so desperately for it to be Cas on the other side of this door, but he knew deep down that something was horribly, horrifically wrong.
The rise of a new, hands-off God has unintended consequences, and the promise of free will reaches further than anyone intended. In the absence of the one who'd locked them away, and beneath the cracked and abused surface of the Midwest, an Old God stirs. Here, death is not the peace you're looking for, and there's one person left to save.
Or: family don't end in blood, and neither does Dean Winchester.

Summary
Abaddon is back from the dead, and she’s managed to get her exquisitely manicured mitts on powerful magic. She’s kicked Crowley out of Hell and is setting about raising Cain. Literally. Dean only beheaded the bastard one hot minute ago, now he might be back too? Death just isn’t what it used to be...
So now Crowley and a reluctant Castiel have to break into Hell to deep six Abaddon. Even though they don’t have the Mark or the set of donkey dentures that goes with it, which is the only thing that can reliably kill the bitch (as Dean is keen to remind them).
Dean is not going to let his better half toddle off into Hell all on his feathery lonesome - or with Crowley, which is even worse. Nope, not going to happen. Time for a plan.
It’s a typical Winchester plan, aka, ridiculously dangerous, technically suicidal, and Cas and Sam are going to hate it like poison. But it’s a plan.
Time to bite the bullet and get the show on the road.

Summary
After his crimes committed in Heaven and on Earth, Castiel expected a swift execution. Naomi could have just left him in Purgatory to die, but she was the kind to tidy up loose ends rather than let monsters eat them. A clean death in Heaven was preferable to evisceration in Purgatory, but Castiel feared the Winchesters might also be two loose ends Naomi would try to ‘tidy up’.
Instead of the Heavenly firing squad, however, Naomi decreed that Castiel would return to earth to protect his friends from harm. He would be their assigned guardian angel and Heaven would leave the three of them alone from now on.
Oh, but make no mistake. This was a punishment, not a reward. Because Naomi set a condition.
(Divergent from somewhere in Season 8/9, though not necessarily where it appears to be at first. Timelines may seem screwed up initially but this is entirely deliberate - well most of it is deliberate, though errare humanum est and all that)

Summary
Sam's missing his soul, Castiel has a pissy archangelic nemesis, and Dean wonders if he'll be spending the rest of his life making sure the Apocalypse doesn't go ahead as scheduled. Still, though. He's happy to see Cas. Indiana wasn't really working out.
Alternate season 6, in a universe where Castiel made a different choice, and things snowball from that point forward.

But a few things nag at him: Where is Cas, and everybody else Dean had been hoping to see in Heaven? Why does he feel like he’s stuck in a loop, reliving the same memories over and over again?

Summary
A newly mortal Castiel wants to understand humanity, and a little Shakespeare is just the thing to help him. Of course, it takes a little bit of prodding, but soon the Winchesters (along with Kevin and Charlie) are all part of the world's weirdest reading club. Of course, the poetry starts having an effect on everyone...

Summary
Dean keeps going back.
When he arrives, it's always to blooming flowers and a windmill in the background, not too far from a brook, the sun painting the plains.
He likes it there. He likes to stand in front of the makeshift urn and check that it's still where he put it, switching out the flowers when they wilt. He likes to listen to the sound of birds chirping, insects singing, the faint sound of water trickling in the distance. He likes to turn his face up and feel the sun on his skin, wondering if Cas would do the same if he were here, somehow knowing that he would.
He likes to talk.
There's never a response, but Dean feels the breeze rustle through his hair and watches the flowers bob when bees come to them and stares as the windmill keeps turning, turning, turning. And he imagines that Cas is replying—the windmill is the tilted head, the bobbing flowers are a gentle smile, the breeze is whatever words Dean wants to hear at the time.
Sometimes, it's almost like he's there.

Summary
Freedom is just one adjustment after the next.
~~~
Cas hums again. "I think you already have. It's been months since everything settled. All that's left to do is...get used to it, and perhaps—" His voice stalls out, uncharacteristically, and his gaze roams Dean's face with intensity. When he speaks next, his tone is a little raw. "Perhaps what one does with peace is...whatever they want."
"What if I don't even know what that is?" Dean grumbles, arching an eyebrow in challenge. "'Cause I know damn well you don't just mean good food and a good bed and time in Baby, not simple wants like that. You mean—ya know, the big things, the wants we didn't get to have before."
"Yes," Cas agrees. "If you're not sure, figure it out."
"Easier said than done."

Summary
Dean takes a really, really long drive to kick fear in the ass. It might just be the best thing he ever decides to do.
~~~
The seat squeaks, and Dean follows the sound, his gaze trailing down. There—where Jack sat moments ago—is a much tinier version of him. He looks mostly the same, just...smaller and more dimply and cuter, if that's possible. His clothes have shrunk to fit him, so he's casually sitting in a t-shirt, jeans, and scuffed tennis shoes. He swings his feet from side-to-side over the edge of Baby's seat the same way Sam used to in the back, and he stares up at Dean with clear eyes.
"Oh," Dean blurts out, eyes bulging, "Cas is going to fucking kill me."
