Summary
“It frustrates me,” Cas mutters, “how the same sensation can feel sometimes good, and sometimes not.”
Dean’s hand is still rubbing slowly down the length of his spine, like he’s petting the valley between the wings he can’t see. “Well, that’s just par for the course,” Dean rumbles. “Sometimes a body wants touch and sometimes it wants to be left the fuck alone.”
Cas always wants touch. At least from Dean. He doesn’t say so. “It frustrates me how much good and bad I can feel at the same time.”
“Oh, buddy,” Dean says. “Yeah.”
(After the perfect darkness of the Empty, Cas finds the world a little...overwhelming. Dean tries to help.)

After a hunt gone wrong leaves Sam transfigured and Castiel drained of his grace, Dean is not only left to tend to them both, but for some reason also finds himself having involuntarily and graphically inappropriate thoughts about the angel in question. Now, if only Cas could stop getting so close to him all the time, maybe he could figure out what the hell was going on?

Summary
With the world teetering on the edge of the apocalypse, Dean figures there's at least one good deed left he can manage before everything burns—helping his best friend Castiel finally lose his virginity. It's the least he can do for the guy who’s literally dragged him out of Hell and stuck by his side through every demon, angel, and existential crisis in between.
But Castiel, ever the wild card in a trench coat, has conditions.
He doesn't want just anyone. He wants Dean.
At first, Dean laughs it off, swears the angel’s just confused, or maybe trying to be sentimental with the world ending and all. But then Cas says it again. Dead serious. Blue eyes smoldering. No shame. No hesitation. Just a quiet, sincere request to let Dean be his first—and maybe, his only.
And Dean? He’s definitely on board. Too on board.
He’s not sure what’s more terrifying—the impending end of humanity, or how badly he wants this. Wants him.
Because when an angel says he wants you, body and soul… how the hell are you supposed to say no?

Summary
Jack pulls Cas out of the Empty, just in time to save Dean. With Dean unable to live without him, ready to die on that rebar, neither of them expected to live to speak about Cas’s confession. But he’s back.
After six months of pure hell without Cas, Team Free Will deserves a vacation. Along the road, with the confession looming and Cas unabashedly in love, Dean is forced to confront his own feelings and the trauma that made him the man he is. He’s tried for years to show Cas the worst of him, to warn him. To prove that he is not worthy. And yet, Cas always came back. He didn’t want the perfect, clean, Righteous Man. In his final moments, from the very first meeting, he saw straight through to the core of Dean.
And he loved it anyway.
This is the story of how Dean Winchester learns to be free.
This is how Dean learns to be loved.
