    Summary

    Sam notices the moving truck first.
    It’s oppressively hot despite it being early in the day. August in Alabama is not something Dean has been able to get used to, he doesn’t know if he’ll ever get used to it. The air is thick, stagnant. Cicadas are humming somewhere hidden. Their song serves as the soundtrack for long days and flirting with heat exhaustion. Dean wipes the sweat threatening to drip into his eyes with the back of his hand before extracting himself from under the Impala’s hood. He fishes his phone out of his back pocket to pause the music coming from the Bluetooth speaker near his feet. His eyes slide to the long unoccupied house next door. There’s a U-Haul parked out front, its arrival concealed by the Creedence Clearwater Revival that had been playing moments before.

    or;

    Not everything can be left behind.

    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, looking 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

    Six months.

    Six months on the day, and Dean couldn't do it anymore.

    He hadn't told anyone. Not even Sam.

    Dean wished it didn't have to be this way, wished he didn't have to do this.

    He wished this would be enough. His family surrounding him, peaceful and happy. He wished they were enough.

    Forgive me.

    With a last deep breath, Dean straightened, blinked the tears from his eyes.

    And went.
