Summary
Dean is not a cat person.
Dean is not, never has been, and never will be a cat person.
But he is an awesome big brother. So when Sam falls head over heels for whatsherface at the underfunded animal shelter, Dean heaves a sigh, cracks open his wallet, and forks over the cash.

Summary
Castiel says, budging over to make room for Dean on the couch, “I thought we should have a serious talk about our relationship.”
Reflexively, Dean laughs.
Castiel does not.
“Uh, Cas... you know we’re not dating, right?”

Summary
“Dream summoning?” Sam repeats as Dean floors it. “Cas, most of the stolen stuff works for dreamwalking. What do you mean, summoning?”
Over the phone, Cas answers, “With the proper enclosed space and spell ingredients, he’ll be able to manifest the contents of his last dream. They won’t last long, an hour at the most, but the manifested ingredients only need to be real for enough time to carry out the second spell. And I’d be very surprised if the contents of that dream didn’t include back-up. He could manifest an entire army. Whatever you do, don't let him bleed on the offering.”
“Got it,” Dean confirms, taking a turn far more quickly than his baby wants. “I’ll just tackle the guy. He doesn’t bleed, we’re good.”
-
Naturally, Dean bleeds instead.

Summary
When pressed upon to mate for a political alliance, Commander Castiel dares to refuse his king. As “I do not wish to mate at all” is clearly the wrong thing to say, Castiel takes the other path and lies. “You must know my affections lie elsewhere, my king.”
King Michael studies Castiel’s face long and hard. Then, with a nod, he snaps his fingers, pointing to Castiel. “The Winchester omega.”
“Yes,” Castiel says with no real recollection of who that is.
The ruse of an unavailable omega works well enough, right up until that omega is no longer unavailable. Then, with what seems to be his entire nation cheering him on toward victory, Castiel must enter the melee to win his mate. Backed by allies, training, and his own natural talents, the only question is how well he can contrive to fail.

Summary
“I bet you... that I can get laid tonight before you can get a single kiss. We pick each other’s targets.”
Dean bites his lip in the vain attempt to not burst out laughing. “Uh-huh,” he says. “Sure, Sammy. Someone single and actually attractive, sure.”
“Deal?” Sam says. “A kiss on the mouth, no cheating.”
Still pushing down a laugh, Dean offers his hand across the table. They shake. “Deal. Okay, who am I going for?”
Sam smiles wider than the devil that once possessed him, and answers: “Cas.”

Summary
In Cas' arms, he bounces the human loudspeaker that is his godson. “He won’t stop,” Cas says, his expression—and his sanity—visibly on the verge of crumbling.
Dean knows the feeling.

Summary
It's just a walk in the rain for a supply run. Nothing special.
So there's absolutely no reason Dean should be going crazy inside over Cas insisting they share an umbrella. Nope.
No reason at all.

“You are a very difficult man to shop for,” Ferdinand tells him. “Still, the challenge will hardly deter me.”
Arms crossed, Hubert nods, faux-knowingly. “I see. Bribery.”

Summary
Dedue mentally relives every meal he’s ever shared with the prince in the entire time he’s known him. Not a wince when Dedue spices to his heart’s content. Not a grimace at marching rations. Not a moment of hesitation in personally demonstrating to Dedue which weeds are edible.
Never, not once in nine years, not one single smile at anything Dedue has poured his heart and soul into preparing.
“...He has no sense of taste,” Dedue realizes.

Summary
Dean follows in the family business: namely, making hard candy the old fashioned way. He and Sam like to draw in the crowds by making it in the shop with an audience, and for the past couple months, their audience has always contained one guy in particular.
This time, though, the guy's brought a friend.

Summary
Another raid on a hub of demonic activity, another case of Dean finding every last one of the bastards already dead with their eyes burnt out. The new and unnerving trend is royally pissing him off, but at least he's always able to blow off some steam these days too.
Hooking up with that traveling business guy was an awesome move.

Summary
They hand him a phone, and he knows to press play on the video without fully knowing how he knows.
“...a bad dude I made a deal with in order to take down an even worse guy,” the Dean on the small screen explains. “If he gets out, it’ll be bad news, but Cas can seal him, at least for a little longer than I can on my own.” The recorded Dean rolls his eyes. “And, yeah, my solution was kinda stupid, so we’re trying this first.”
“We’re not using your idea,” a recorded Castiel says from off-screen.
“I said we’re trying this first,” the filmed Dean insists.

Summary
“He hurt you,” Castiel says. Calmly. Reasonably.
Dean presses back against the wall as if there’s still a threat in the room.
“It’s all right,” Castiel continues, stepping over a cooling body. He holds up both hands, freshly clean. When Dean turns pale—paler—Castiel spares a thought for his own appearance but quickly confirms that he’s vanished the blood and gore away. Besides, it’s hardly as if Dean hasn’t seen worse before. “He’s dead.”

Summary
“This is exactly what we need,” Gabriel insists, steadfastly steering Castiel by the shoulder. “Nowhere else like it.”
“I’ve changed my mind,” Castiel decides for the both of them.
“Too late!” Gabriel answers, taking himself—and the car keys—up to the front doors of the establishment. In the last remains of the sunset, the lights aimed at the building’s sign have begun to shine: against a deep red background, the black outline of a hunter blows the smoke off the barrel of a very suggestive gun. Beside that silhouette, a curling cursive reads “The Hunting Lodge.”

Summary
When the clouds come, it’s almost a relief from the endlessly reflecting sunlight across the ocean.
When the rain comes, it’s a little less cool.
When the storm comes, it’s time to get scared.
And then the waves come.

Summary
“I’ll do it,” Sam volunteers, shouting over the horse’s screams. He dismounts and draws his pistol.
“No,” Dean chokes out, getting himself in between. “You can’t.”
“Dean,” Sam says, sagging with the weight of a decision already made. He doesn’t aim the pistol at Dean, nor at Baby behind him, but Baby’s thrashing and cries makes Sam’s point for him.
“Don’t,” Dean insists, backing up, crouching down.
Maybe he thinks. Maybe he panics.
Either way, he looks up at Sam and says, “I need you to call in a favor for me.”

Summary
Singing still feels like a girly habit, for all Dean belongs to the city’s Gay Choir. Still, Dean keeps reminding himself he's getting better at singing, and he’s getting better about letting himself do it too.
The foreign language singing was a surprise, especially this month's Enochian number, a language not even made for human throats. The song’s written out phonetically under the music, and they don’t even have a translation, only the general theme. Dean’s still coming up blank when it comes to checking whether they’re pronouncing anything correctly.
With only a week to go until the performance, Dean swallows his pride, holds down tight on his nerves, and texts Cas to come over.
