Summary
Castiel returns from the Empty, his wings restored and position as Commander of Jack’s Heaven absolute, but Heaven is still at war against rebel angels who want to reinstate Chuck and threaten all Team Free Will has fought for.
While Castiel commands the Heavenly Host from the bunker; he and Dean enter an arrangement; touch allowed, sex forbidden, feelings not discussed. They tells themselves they can manage the half-way, until it becomes clear they can’t.
War keeps pressing through the bunker walls, every touch means more than either of them can bear, and Dean’s attempt to drag himself back into being “old Dean” drives the knife deeper.
When the line finally breaks, it breaks catastrophically: sex, separation, and a loss so profound Dean is forced to understand, too late and all at once, the true scale of what Castiel is to him.
Desperate to reach Castiel in Heaven, Dean devises a plan to find Castiel on the war front.
Terms of Surrender is a long, aching fic about repression, devotion, bodily longing, a profound bond, the final supernatural war, and the process of Dean and Cas finally getting everything they have fought for.
