Summary
Chuck is gone and the world is back in order. For once there’s no big bad and this little makeshift family can focus on trying to start the rest of their lives.
With Cas back from the empty, Dean now has to face his feelings on the angel and an 'i love you' he doesn't know what to do with. In true Dean fashion, he deals with his feelings on the matter by absolutely not dealing with them at all. How long can this really last, though, when everyone knows Dean Winchester is just as much in love with Castiel as Cas is with him.

Summary
Two weeks after Team Free Will saves the world a final time, Dean's not doing so hot. An encounter with the kind pawn shop owner in Lebanon leads him to take up playing the guitar again to cope with losing Cas, something he hasn't done since he was sixteen and living at Sonny's Boys' Home. This kicks off a series of events which includes Claire arriving at the bunker looking for answers on Cas's death and which ultimately leads to Dean finding himself in possession of Orpheus's original lyre. Armed with the power of music and love and with Claire hot on his heels, Dean sets off on an epic quest to save his beloved from the Empty's clutches, Hadestown-style. Can they defy the power of the narrative one final time, or will Dean succumb like Orpheus before him?
Featuring: copious amounts of Hadestown references, Chekhov's Wonderwall meme, Anaïs Mitchell as an actual Greek Muse, Dean's Teenage Bisexual Awakening, lesbian-ish cosmic entities, Sam as Hermes, Eileen being kind of a menace, Claire being a badass, and more!
Written for the 2026 DeanCas Reverse Bang.

Summary
Castiel's spent most of his adult life keeping his head down and staying out of trouble. This is a deliberate choice on his part, because as a cousin of the King, he'd rather stay unimportant and forgotten. This changes abruptly when King Michael decides that he has a better use for Castiel: he is to be wed to a noble member of the neighboring Republic, as part of an agreement between their two nations.
Castiel knows he has to obey, but that doesn't mean he won't rebel in what small ways he can. Unexpectedly, his actions end up having far-reaching consequences.
