Summary
The permanent damage Dean suffered when they defeated Michael made it easier for Sam and Cas to convince him that it was time for Team Free Will to officially retire.
Civilian life hasn’t turned out exactly like Dean had hoped. Instead of quiet domesticity in the bunker with his brother and his angel, Dean’s got a drinking problem and a bone-deep ache where Cas ought to be.
Hitting rock-bottom, he breaks Cas’ “don’t call me, I’ll call you” rule, and gets a surprising invite to see Cas for the first time in months.Now he’s just got to keep it together enough to avoid getting kicked out of Cas’ life permanently.
