    Summary

    First, before anything, there was want.

    In one version of this story, Dean Winchester hasn't stopped moving since the day his father died. He hunts across the country but always comes back to California with the half-hearted hope of visiting Sam at Stanford, and an endless, restless, ceaseless pull to the desert.

    In one version of this story, Dean Winchester finds himself in the scorched heat of a Death Valley summer, on a hunt for a ghost. Or a purpose. Or an answer to the question that’s been tugging at his tendons for as long as he’s lived.

    In one version of this story, all Dean Winchester has ever done is want, and all Castiel has ever done is wait.

    Summary

    There are few things in life that Castiel has to be grateful for at the moment, but he makes the ones he does have count. Tonight, he’s grateful that he didn’t actually find himself on a date with his boss, he’s grateful to have solved Dean’s case before more people could wind up dead, he’s grateful that Tanya is sleeping soundly when Nora returns so that she doesn’t see him favoring his wrist.

    And Dean. He’s always grateful for Dean, even when he doesn’t want to be.

    Tonight, Dean is alive when he could have so easily died because of Castiel. Because Castiel can never seem to get far enough away from Dean to keep his problems from bleeding into Dean’s life. Because Castiel is weaker now than he ever has been, and he can’t do a single thing to protect the person he cares for.

    Summary

    Sam makes one last deal.

    Cas comes back. And Dean gets him back. And together they get something.

    Something about humanity, about living even when it hurts, especially because it hurts. About building a home for loss inside your chest, and making your heart a place where the dead live when they die. About being selfish, about belonging, about deserving both. About choice, and a life lived, and learning to lay down arms so that your hands might hold something softer.

    Summary

    Billy Dunne is a forest burning, and Daisy Jones only knows how to pour fuel on the flames.

    Or: the path not taken is sometimes really overgrown.

    Or: sometimes redemption is not a thing anyone can give you, but rather a sanctuary that you must build for yourself
