    Summary

    Sam thought having a soulmate already handpicked for you with the one connection of hearing the songs they listen to was a fantastic idea. Soulmates were a thing regardless, there was someone for everyone, and the music was simply a hint that God gifted humanity with.

    Dean constantly felt as if he was one step behind, just on the outside looking in, and he had too many bad associations with the whole soulmate situation to ever be positive about it. In fact, he'd go as far as saying that he hated it, and he had a couple of times to pretty much anyone he met.

    That, unfortunately, would come back to bite him in the ass.

    ~~~

    Dean could feel the color draining from his face as the next song drifted through his mind, the all too familiar intro to Black Dog playing softly for only two pairs of ears to hear. The song played through, and he waited for the next, somehow just knowing what would come. And sure enough, Dean listened to Black Dog predictably transition into Immigrant Song with a slight crackle that he'd done his best to erase.

    Dean gritted his teeth. "You've got to be fucking kidding me."

    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.
