Summary
Dean’s always wanted a supernatural companion. Something strange and maybe a little dangerous - the kind of pet that would make people stop and stare. Now that he’s finally settled into a place of his own, it feels like the right time, but the supernatural creature he ends up taking home isn’t what he imagined.
Hidden in the back of the emporium, caged and collared, is an angel with dirt-matted feathers, half-healed bruises, and eyes that burn cold when they finally meet Dean’s. Dean knows he’s in no way prepared for this, but he also knows he can’t just leave him there.

Summary
After the Empty took Castiel, Dean pushed everything he felt inside a Very Secret, Very Closed Box in his head and swallowed the key. The Box had been intact and hermetic for two years in its corner of Dean’s mind, and because of that, Dean had been able to stay sane and focused. More or less.
But now, with Cas back, with every day they didn’t talk about what's between them, the Box is starting to leak.Castiel isn't complaining, far from it: He has a roof over his head, good shower pressure and food. He’s so grateful he’s afraid. Because he believed to have all those things once before, human and lost and confused, only to have the rug pulled under his feet.
And there’s the fact that, the last time he died, he carved his heart out for Dean to take, and the hunter hasn’t said anything about it.
Maybe that’s as good an answer as he’s going to get.Series

Summary
"Cas is alive," Sam sounds as bewildered now as the first time he said it, however long ago. One minute, ten minutes, an hour. Dean wouldn't know. Time seems to be folding past him in unpredictable bursts. He's not convinced this isn't a dream, actually. No way it can be real.
Right? No way Cas would do that to them. To him.
Not after what he said. Not ever.
Right?

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.

Summary
Dean’s sitting at the kitchen table with Sam when his phone rings. Jody’s name flashes across the screen and he considers not picking up, but Sam’s there, and he’d start asking questions if he left the call alone. It’s not like Dean doesn’t want to talk to Jody, it's just that he can’t bear talking to anyone these days.
“Hi, Jody,” Sam says.
“Howdy, boys.” She greets them and begins talking about a case she’s asking them to take over. Dean doubts they will, Sam hasn’t let him pick up a gun or knife in months, not since their last hunt.
Jody’s voice cuts through the phone. “Alright, if you boys don’t wanna take the case, I’ll see if Castiel will, but I think he’s helping Claire in Colorado–”
Dean doesn’t hear a damn thing after that, and by the looks of it, Sam doesn’t either. For the first time in days, Dean opens his mouth and speaks. “Cas is alive?”
Jody’s voice is quiet on the other end. “He didn’t tell you?”
Cas is alive, and Dean is figuring out what he should do about that when they learn Cas's accidental jailbreak broke The Empty, letting out most of its occupants. Now that every villain they have ever fought is back, Team Free Will 3.0 has their work cut out for them.
