“I understand,” Cas says, with something that Dean would say looks like hope and despair warring on his face.Later that night, Dean sits beside Cas in the cave they had managed to clear out. He thinks back to all the lingering touches and looks they’ve exchanged and his frenzied search of purgatory for Cas. He can feel the resolve that’s failed him for years forming.

Summary
Dean should be scared. The being in front of him was terrifying by all means and yet for some reason, as he stared into the creature’s eyes, Dean felt a warm sense of comfort wash over him. Because those dazzling, glowing blue eyes were so familiar, the pain in its eyes mirrored with Dean’s. Which is why, when it reached out one long, dripping black hand out to him, Dean reached out, too.
Dean didn’t know if it could talk. It didn’t need to, anyway. Dean knew what it was asking, and he answered the silent request without a second thought.
“Yes.”
* * *
Faced with death, Dean makes one last ditch effort: praying to an Angel he knows wont hear him. Deans prayers are answered when a vessel-less Castiel forces himself out from the Empty, taking possession of Dean's body in order to heal him.
Castiel's grace is running finite however, charged down after saving Dean's life. Now Castiel resides within Dean's mind, too weak to survive a transfer to another vessel, leading them to a desperate search for a way to rebuild his body. Time is of the essence, with Castiel's grace burning out with every passing day...- Language:

Summary
Castiel Novak loves living in Manhattan and feels like he has finally reached a more serene part of his life. After years of hard work at The Lazarus, a boutique luxury hotel, a career opportunity he’s been waiting a long time for presents itself. At last, his problems are behind him.
That is until he randomly encounters Henry Winchester, the grandfather of his childhood friend, Dean. Castiel and Dean haven’t seen each other in over ten years. Not since Castiel’s parents stopped visiting the Winchester family ranch.
Left somewhat contemplative by this blast from the past encounter, Castiel is then altogether shaken by it when he hears a week later of the sudden passing of Mr. Winchester, as well as the surprising repercussions that come along with it.
It seems that their recent and unexpected run-in inspired the late Mr. Winchester to make last minute changes in his will: Dean will only inherit the ranch he’s been running if he marries Castiel and stays married for at least six months.

Summary
Dean is really trying to listen to Sam talk about organic vegetables his fiancé wants, but his attention is brought to a commotion near the front of the store. There is a loud crash, like glass breaking. Immediately, Dean is on edge, his hand hovering over his concealed gun. He takes a few slow steps towards the end of the aisle, but doesn’t make it far before someone turns into the aisle from the opposite side. Dean turns to ask if the man is okay.
The words get stuck somewhere in Dean’s throat, his eyes going wide. The man is wearing a suit and a long, tan trench coat. His tie is blue like his eyes and his hair is sticking up in all directions, completely wild and untamable in a way that has Dean swallowing the lump in his throat. The way this man walks, almost at a run, is like he’s on the most important mission of his life.
“Dean, are you still there?” Sam asks, shaking Dean out of his trance.
“I- um,” Dean starts, but suddenly there’s a large, strong hand on his shoulder and he’s being manhandled up against the shelf of bread.
