Summary
The grief he’s carrying is a familiar weight, one his body has adjusted to carrying over his lifetime— but this time it's different and he knows it. This time, there's something dangerous about it.
At the crossroads of the end and beginning of all things, as the God he knew withers alone somewhere, and the God he raised sits alone in Heaven, Dean knows that he’s just a hair's width away from completely and utterly succumbing to the weight of it all.
Three months after Cas gets taken by the Empty, Dean takes a case.

Summary
Dean means to look away when he knows the man will be half-facing him but he doesn’t, and when the man turns, Dean can't remember how to breathe.
Cas, blue-eyed, and alive stands several feet away from him at the Akron Pie Festival, wearing fucking bumble bee crocs.

Summary
His grace is gone and his exhaustion is heavy on the bones he’s appropriated, but Dean looks at him and he sees it all, everything he once was, and it’s beautiful.

Summary
In the warmth and safety of their bed, tucked against the far wall of their bedroom in their small two-story, blue-shingled house, Cas sleeps.
or: a handful of mornings (and two nights) with cas, dean, and jack.

Summary
He can’t help but think:
This is exactly how I imagined it.
Because it is, because it was never going to be light-hearted and good and because the universe has never let him have something good and keep it, because he doesn’t even exist or he doesn't think he wants to (it’s getting harder to tell the difference).

Summary
Ed stares up at him, horrified. “You can’t cut it up,” he says, both hands now tight in the skirts. “It won’t be a beautiful dress anymore.”
Stede blinks. “No-o,” he says carefully. “I just thought - well, I thought you might like to wear it.”
“Don’t have to,” Ed mutters crossly, burying his head in the chest again. “Don’t - don’t steal pictures and wear them, do I. Silver forks in my, in my hair, and ooh, this plate could be a hat, nah. Anyway, who says I can’t?”

Summary
“Now you’re—” Stede babbles, going absolutely pinkish. “You’re laughing again!”
Ed nods, still giggling. “I’m just—I’m sorry, it’s not because—”
“Am I doing something wrong?”
“Stede, darling,” Ed says, cupping Stede’s face. “Don’t be foolish. It’s because you’re doing something right.”
Or: Stede’s never laughed during sex before. Hell, he’s barely even smiled. So when Edward can’t stop giggling during their first time, he’s not really sure what to think.

Summary
He snaps. “Ed’s long gone now.”
Stede has always been good at pushing his luck. Especially with this man. “I don’t know, I think I see him, lurking around under all that dirt.”
Because they can't get away, start over, reset.

Summary
Weird. Weird. Viktor had looked so pleased just a few moments ago. Almost glowing. Maybe even happy, for a split second; the sort of thing he only ever is when one of his prototypes turns out successful. Jayce had managed to land a comment smart enough to wring a laugh out of Viktor; and he'd smiled like they were having fun, but now here's that thing again. The borders, the quiet nudging, pushing him away as if he's unable to recognize it. No one else does this to him, not anymore; not when his face is on the newspapers and his name is on everyone's mouths. It's only Viktor.
"Do you hate me?" Jayce asks, before he has a chance to process which words his mouth is forming.
It feels childish, out in the open cold, spoken like that. It feels like a stupid thought.
-
Jayce wonders if their friendship isn't a little one-sided, in a way.

Summary
Charlie sets her beer down hard on the counter, making him flinch. “Are you trying to invent a problem?” she asks incredulously.
“What? No, dude, I’m telling you—”
“Your boyfriend turned down sex twice, once because you were concussed and your arm was broken, and once because he was about to drive out of state to help your brother,” Charlie summarises, brutal and unrelenting. “And you think that, what? You can never ask him for sex again because of that?”
Dean’s been playing catch-up his entire life, and he’s still figuring out the whole “asking for what I want” thing.
