    Summary

    AU from the end of Season 8.

    When Cas returns to Dean and Sam, human, confused, disoriented and scared, they take him in. What else can they do?

    But Dean is still harboring some resentments. Sam is still sick and damaged from the trials, and Dean feels that Cas is to blame for much of what's happened to them in the past couple of years - things he's never really made amends for...

    Summary

    Cas cocks his head to the side and Dean glances around before pulling him gently towards him. He turns Cas until Cas is backed against the car. Cas’ face softens and one of Dean’s hands goes under Cas’ arm, against the door, and the other wraps around the back of Cas’ head and, oh God, he’s going to kiss him.

    Sam drops the blind. The motel room is plunged into darkness.

    - + -

    In the quiet moments of the last days before the lead-up to the Apocalypse, Sam watches his brother fall in love with an angel.

    Summary

    It’s partly to silence his own thoughts, and partly to explain his shell-shocked reaction that Dean says, “I didn’t even think that angels could feel stuff like that.”

    Cas’s face goes blank. Neither Dean nor Cas say anything or look at the other for a long moment.

    “To be fair, I don’t think angels are supposed to,” Cas finally says, voice rougher than it had been, and somehow distant. “Even as a human, I’ve never had a soul.” There’s a glassy look in Cas’ eye as he stares past a spot on the wall, and his voice dips quiet. “What should it feel like? To be in love?”

    *

    Dean didn't think that angels could feel love. He's very wrong about that. But he's also determined to make up for his mistake.

    Summary

    A collection of ficlets about Dean and Cas in Purgatory from back during the hiatus before season 8. General Purgatory moodiness with a little kissing and a bit of mostly-vaguely written sex.

    Summary

    Pretending Cas is just his friend has been the only thing keeping Dean's head on straight for years. He never realized how much doing that depended on him making himself scarce in the morning ─ not until Cas came back and moved into the bunker.
