Summary
Inside his cracked chest, his heart is on fire.
Castiel can feel the heat of it licking his fingertips. His throat is full of smoke. Whatever is inside of him is boiling over. It’s odd, he thinks, as it breaks him into pieces and scatters him throughout the air, that he can feel it at all. He’s not meant to feel anything anymore.
He’s meant to be dead.

“He should have known. Death never sticks when it comes to Castiel, but love always has.”
I literally don’t have the words to explain how this made me feel but I am going to be thinking about it for weeks

Summary
“There you are,” the Empty says, in Dean’s voice. It’s cold, like Dean’s eyes are cold, his expression set in contempt. It’s the expression Cas feared, he realizes, all the times he thought about saying it. Revulsion. It makes him feel sick in the way that goes beyond physical, here where there is nothing physical left.
The moment before it happened had been so sweet it covered up all the hurt. For years, Cas had been holding back those words, biting down on his tongue to keep from saying them. And now he had said it, and he knew that it was good, knew that it was worth it. But on the other side there is only this.
--
In the Empty, Cas dreams of his regrets, until someone comes looking for him.

Summary
For a long time, Castiel thought that every earthly possession other than the immediately necessary was excess to requirement. But Dean – Dean who named his car, who keeps a photograph of his mother in his wallet, some thirty-plus years after her death, who still has the crumpled ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign with a sleeping pelican emblazoned on it from the Microtel outside of Roanoke where he first kissed Castiel, clumsy and unsure, under the unsteady fluorescence of an exhausted bathroom bulb – is sentimental.
It puzzles Castiel, where Dean draws the line between what is meaningful and what it is worthless.

Summary
Unable to watch Magda be harmed again, Sam tells Mrs. Peterson that he's psychic as well. She offers him the same option: confess his sins.
In order for the scene to work, I took a small creative liberty here and had Sam chained to the ground by one hand, instead of with his hands tied/cuffed behind his back like in the actual episode.

Summary
“You,” says Dean, when Cas doesn’t say anything. The word comes out a little fumbled, so he licks his lips and tries again. “You— okay. You get it, right? Like. Don't just do your thing where you pretend to be totally clueless about human stuff, 'cause— you know, right? When it is people take each other's last names?"
Cas, the bastard, just squints at him. Dry as anything, he says, "I believe it often occurs as part of marriage."
or; cas fills out paperwork. dean cooks dinner. somewhere in between they get married.

Summary
You won’t be able to stop me, Dean thinks into the silence. Just take me, please, take me instead—
EYE FOR AN EYE, says the Empty.
Dean is on his knees in his bedroom, elbows on his mattress like he thought he might pray.
The voice fills Dean’s mind as slowly as cold oil, and drips down the back of his neck.
TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.
*
Dean makes a deal.

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
“We did good, Dean,” Sam says. “We got him back.”
Dean huffs a hollow laugh, because yeah, that’s always what it’s about, isn’t it? Cas or Sam or Dean getting themselves lost or dead, and then taking turns dragging each other back from the brink. He shrugs, shoving his hands into his pockets.
“We got him back, yeah,” he says. Sam nods, watching him. “So now what?”

Summary
“We should go on a date. You and me.”
Castiel wishes he could see Dean’s face. He wishes he had any idea what to say.
“I’m asking you out, Cas.”

Summary
Dean drains his bottle of beer, sets it on the table and gets up, heading for the kitchen. Maybe to fetch another, maybe to leave. But Castiel doesn’t want him to go, doesn’t want to leave this conversation unfinished; he remembers his regret of just a few hours ago, that Dean had never known how he loved him.
“Wait,” he says and gets to his feet as Dean passes by. They’re standing close – close enough that Castiel can feel the heat of Dean’s body, the vibrancy of his soul brushing against his grace. “Dean, I have to tell you something...”
Set after the S11 finale.
