Summary
Eternally single professor Castiel is quiet, nerdy, and keeps to his research. The one indulgence that he allows himself is spending hours on YouTube bingeing the vlogs of a handsome, reckless archaeologist. Hunter styles himself as a bit of an Indiana Jones type, and he reminds Castiel of the adventurous, free person he longs to be. Plus, he’s super hot.
Imagine Castiel’s surprise when he meets the new archaeology professor at the Humanities potluck.
This is his chance—he is finally in the same room as Dean “Hunter” Winchester!
Unfortunately, the best interaction shy, awkward Castiel can manage is to steal his new colleague’s Tupperware.

Summary
Dean Winchester’s been camp manager of a science research station on the Alaskan tundra for thirteen years. Dean likes his job; fixing the camp trucks, troubleshooting the generators, keeping clueless undergrads and NSF bigwigs from walking into grizzly bears or getting lost in snowstorms — it’s all in a day’s work. It keeps him pretty busy, and this year his brother Sam's visiting too, so he's even busier. So it’s really not any of Dean’s business when some weirdo antisocial ornithologist sets up a tent a few miles away, a dark-haired blue-eyed guy who’s doing a “very long-term" study on birds or wings or something, and who never, ever takes off his big lumpy backpack. But then the new guy starts dropping by camp for coffee and... well, he’s not officially part of camp; he's not Dean’s responsibility; he’s really not Dean’s problem at all, but when a strange blizzard comes sweeping in, Dean gets worried and goes to check. Thing is, Dean's spent years in the sweeping vistas of the Arctic. He knows all about the midnight sun and the northern lights, the ice caves and avalanches, the rough-and-ready Haul Road truckers and the even rougher-and-readier wild animals. But even so, what he finds is much more than he bargained for.

Summary
What if no angels answered Dean’s call for help? What if Dean were to lose Sam to the trials, lose everything, with Cas being the only person left to help him pick up the pieces despite being broken himself?
Without Cas’s grace, he’s weakened and vulnerable, and Dean needs something vulnerable to take care of in the wake of his brother’s death. Dean cloaks his need for intimacy during this isolation under the veil of taking care of Cas and teaching him to be human, which he asserts does, in fact, need to be done. He vows to put aside his feelings and do his best to raise his angel to be human better than he himself was raised.

Summary
"Cas," Dean says, frowning down at his bare toes, "you, uh—you've been through a lot in the past twenty-four hours, okay? We don't have to talk about this. About any of it. I—"
"I'm saying that I want to try it again."
Dean snaps his head up. "You what now?"
"My solution," Cas says carefully, "is that instead of showing each other violence, we show each other... the opposite."
“The opposite,” Dean says. “Like…”
“Sex.”
Dean sucks in a breath. "Oh," he squeaks out.

Dean helps Cas recover from Rowena's attack dog spell. Cas has an interesting proposition.

Summary
What does John see when he looks at Cas?
Cas doesn’t look like a monster.
But neither does Dean.
John stands, slow. He holds out a hand. Calloused like Dean’s hands are calloused. Scarred the same way that Dean’s hands are scarred. There’s the smell of him in the air too. Earthy and dark, slightly sour around the edges. The room feels suddenly choked with it. Claustrophobic.
Cas probably smells like the fabric softener they buy in bulk at Costco, but so does Dean so he can’t tell.
John says, toneless, “I hear you’ve been driving my car.”
. . .
The closer you are to what you want—
Dean's twenty-nine year old mother, his undefined relationship with Cas and their small family. Some kind of impossible reconciliation with John Winchester. Michael, out of his head, without destroying the world. His father's approval. To see the Grand Canyon.
—The more vulnerable you are.

Summary
“What’s Jack doing, Sam? Garth says he and Honeybee are out most days from breakfast until well after lunch. Jody says he packs peanut butter and banana sandwiches.”
Sam shrugs. “He says he’s out visiting Mister Cas. I think he probably found the fort we built that one summer, and is holed up out there with sandwiches for his imaginary friends. Let it be, Dean. The heifers are out in the north pasture. The steers are in the east pasture. There’s nothing out by the fort to worry about.”
“Snakes, Sam. There are snakes to worry about.”
Sam looks at Dean across the kitchen island, and shakes his head, hair flopping over into his eyes. “You’re the one that told me that a mule will kill a snake faster than you can say ‘snake’, and I believe you because I’ve seen Honeybee do it. Let him be. Ben will be out of school in a couple of weeks, and he’ll be following Ben around like a puppy.”
“Heh, you’re probably right.” Dean runs a hand down the back of his neck.
“I know I am, Dean. You worry about all of us, but you worry too much. You can’t watch over everyone all of the time.”

Summary
Freedom is just one adjustment after the next.
~~~
Cas hums again. "I think you already have. It's been months since everything settled. All that's left to do is...get used to it, and perhaps—" His voice stalls out, uncharacteristically, and his gaze roams Dean's face with intensity. When he speaks next, his tone is a little raw. "Perhaps what one does with peace is...whatever they want."
"What if I don't even know what that is?" Dean grumbles, arching an eyebrow in challenge. "'Cause I know damn well you don't just mean good food and a good bed and time in Baby, not simple wants like that. You mean—ya know, the big things, the wants we didn't get to have before."
"Yes," Cas agrees. "If you're not sure, figure it out."
"Easier said than done."

Summary
It only upsets Dean's comfortable routine a little bit when Claire's illustrious uncle moves down to Norfolk to run his airfield. That is, until he meets his new boss face to face and can barely make words happen. Cas isn't doing much better, even if he knows exactly what he'd say to Dean if only he weren't Dean's commanding officer...
Test pilot instructor Cas (who's afraid of boats) ran from his Air Force family to join the Navy, Dean ran from his Marine Corps father to work on airplanes for the Navy— just as long as he doesn't have to fly in one, he's fine. They've met in the middle, but also in an impossible circumstance. It seems as if the one thing they want is something they can't have.
Unless solving one impossible mystery could free them...

Summary
Dean has been hunting solo ever since Sam decided to settle down with Eileen, picking up jobs as they come, the latest of which has locals crying werewolf. They’re not always right, but this time they are. Mid-hunt Dean realizes that there’s something else living out there, something the locals are blissfully unaware of. Sam has been experimenting, trying to find a blend of spellwork and oils to make an arrowhead deadly to any monster, with his elder brother providing field trials. Dean is disappointed when the latest in a long line of failures doesn’t kill the monster that snuck around to trip his traps. Worse, this one isn’t even a threat to humans, leaving him stuck playing nursemaid to a monster with an ailment that might not even have a cure. As frustrating as this turn of events is, it proves to be a critical turning point, for both him and the monster foolish enough to interfere just for some lousy traps.

Summary
“That’s what I am. A nowhere man,” Mobius admitted, “Nothing feels right. Not my life on the timeline. Not the TVA. I’m just… stranded.”
“He really fucked you up, huh?” Sylvie murmured.
Mobius let out a bark of laughter, surprised, and shook his head. He wanted to deny it. He studied Loki's life and still, he went and fell for the one person destined to leave.
...
When Sylvie kicks Mobius through a time door, Mobius never expected to land in Asgard 2011 on the sacred timeline, right before Loki stages the Frost Giant attack in the weapons vault. He also never expected to survive long enough to become someone important to Loki and maybe even fall in love with him again.

Summary
“Come on. I’m terrible with this.”
Mobius waves the dagger around wildly as if to prove his point.
“That’s why you need to practice.” Loki steps forward, ducking under the swinging arc of the dagger, to adjust Mobius’s grip on the hilt. “Stop holding it like a toddler.”
“You give knives to toddlers!?”
“It’s a dagger and I got my first one when I was two and a half.”
“Yeah, and your upbringing is the standard by which all should be measured.”
OR
Loki commits to teaching Mobius self-defense and gets a little more than he bargained for. (An alternate take on S2:E2 just for fun.)
