Summary
Jonathan's kind of relieved when his mom orders him and Nancy into separate rooms for the night.
It's not that he doesn't love her. Really. He's just way too fucking exhausted and in way too much pain to think about their relationship right now, much less talk about it, and he's got a feeling that the next time he and Nancy are alone together, they'll be talking for a while. Sleeping next to Steve Harrington is worth it to push that conversation just a little bit further into the future.

Summary
A year after Dean kicked Cas out of the bunker, two bodies in Black Falls River, Wisconsin turn up charred and smoking, flash-cooked by powerful and supernatural lightning strikes. When Sam and Dean find glittering black feathers, stormy weather, and unusual electrical activity they call in backup to help them take out their target: A thunderbird.
---
Castiel is just trying to get by in a human world as best he can. His grace is recovering from what Metatron did to him, but the process has been slow, painful, and, most recently, violent. After he accidentally kills a human, he struggles to leave this tentative new life and start over yet again. Unfortunately, he's forced to when hunters come sniffing around for the creature responsible for the supernatural death.

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
But that’s the whole reason he’s here, isn’t it? He’s not out here hunting Humans. He’s not even hunting deer, or bears, or anything else that featured in Bambi. He’s out here, freezing his nuts off every night, because he’s hunting Angels.
Sometimes Dean wishes that Angels were like how they’re described in the Bible. How people from time too old for him to care much about thought Angels were messengers and warriors of God, protectors of Humans. He knows that how they’re really described in the Bible is actually pretty terrifying, but at least they were told by God that they’re supposed to love Humans, right?
That’s a thousand times better than what Angels really turned out to be.
