    Summary

    It's been a year since they moved into the little house.

    Dean relaxes. Lets himself get soft. Figuratively and literally. He shrugs it off and buys new jeans. Lets his hair be shaggy and not so neat, lets Cas cut it while he sits on an upturned bucket in the yard. Wears his cowboy boots the family got him, and a big comfy Led Zeppelin sweater. Lets Cas put the handle in his love handles. It makes him feel good. He feels like a person and not a tool.

    And he gets to just be a person. He gets to lay out in the field and enjoy the green of spring all around him. Gets to spend time with his family and not worry so much about what kind of trouble they're getting into. Gets to be in love. Say it and feel the aching joy of it all over him. He wanted to pile it up like leaves and jump in it.

    They thrived and grew like the plants in the garden. Like the wildflowers, the weeds, and the trees.

    I'm finishing up this fic by doing little ficlets. Sex and character death are warned about in their respective chapters and can be skipped without changing the story.
