Summary
“I’m not looking forward to it,” Rowena tells him, as though that will absolve her of anything, “he may have a better solution for this, but the spell requires a smidge of spilled Grace. He’ll need to be hurt for this to work, and — Dean, all joking aside, you may be the only person fit to do this.”
“Oh, this’ll be great — go ahead, tell me why I’m the only one that can get butt-fucked to save the world.”
___
To keep Earth from being scorched and born anew, Team Free Will needs to complete an interrupted spell, reset the intentions of said spell, and unfortunately, a figurative virgin symbolic of the Earth needs to be 'fertilized' by the very literal celestial body of an Angel.
Don't worry, though, they've got Angel cuffs, and the Angel cuffs certainly will not fail. 'Cause that'd be nuts.

Summary
With Cas dead, Jack gone, and Dean unraveling, Sam turns to therapy. Searching for closure, he digs into the bunker’s surveillance footage—but what he finds shakes his trust in Dean’s account of Cas’s death… and in Dean himself.
Desperate for normalcy, Sam gets them back on the road, only for their case to take a deadly turn when Chuck returns with a chilling revelation: the universe has trapped them in a Final Destination-style game of fate. As Sam struggles to hold Dean together, he clings to the hope that reuniting their family will set things right. Maybe then... they won’t even need therapy.

Summary
It’s been several months since the events of 15x19, and the world is at ease. Dean Winchester isn’t, though.
It takes a drunken night and a conversation with Sam for the Winchesters and a newly depowered Jack to start working on a way to get to the Empty to bring back Castiel, their angel best friend. After several weeks, the team enlist the assistance of the new Queen of Hell and find a spell. With Rowena’s help, Cas is finally back, alive, and for a moment everything looks brighter. Jack and Sam are ecstatic, and Dean’s had enough time to figure out what he wants to tell Cas. He’s ready to speak his truth.
Except, Cas doesn’t seem to recognize Jack, and the first thing he does is ask Dean how he’s managed to get rid of the mark. He doesn’t remember that Chuck, the flimsy prophet he met years ago, was God and that they just beat his ass. Actually, there’s a lot he doesn’t remember… Including telling Dean he loved him before getting taken by the Empty.
Now starts a different quest- figuring out what’s keeping a newly human Cas from remembering the past 5 years by their side, and helping him regain the memories he’s lost.
Of course, as is custom for Winchesters, nothing goes as planned.

And then keeps coming back on Thursdays. He doesn’t seem to have much choice in the matter, actually. For the rest of the week, he’s stuck in the Empty, and Dean is left trying to figure out how to save him, how to talk to him—and how to get him out for good.

Summary
16 months ago, Cas became human.
12 months ago, Cas left the bunker and a broken-hearted Dean behind.
Now they must work a case together, where married couples are dying mysterious deaths and the only way to earn the neighbors' trust is by pretending to be married. Slowly, Dean finds that he loves being in a relationship with Cas, fake or not, and Cas finds his loneliness retreating, despite the harsh reality looming right around the corner. As Dean and Cas navigate this fake, but all too real, relationship, can they find the monster that is on a mysteriously motivated killing spree before it’s too late?

Summary
Dean thinks Sam and Rowena are really sweet together. They strangely fit together nicely, despite Sam's best efforts to avoid demonic or darkly magickal inclinations, and despite Rowena's most concerted efforts to not be so vulnerable as to be in love.
They complement each other nicely, and they obviously care so much about each other, he wonders why either of them are scared to say anything about it when the reciprocal romantic and sexual tension and chemistry between them is practically taking up space in the bunker.
He has learned nothing about himself through these observations.

Summary
Never in any universe did Dean figure that Angels existed. Sure, there's demons and monsters, but not Angels. And especially, as it turns out, not strange men falling from the sky with weather-changing wings and voices that sound like the creation of the universe itself. What Dean can't understand, though, is that this man that calls himself Castiel is a star-and a star that holds the secrets of the universe in his hands.
Meanwhile, Orion's Belt is missing one of its brightest stars, and Dean and Sam find themselves watching over Castiel until his wings mend and he can fly again, far away from where Dean wants him to be. Because Castiel's sudden appearance isn't accidental, not to Dean. Castiel is everything he ever wanted, inhuman or not-and Dean will do whatever it takes to make him feel at home and keep him safe, for as long as it takes, until Orion calls Castiel home.

Summary
Castiel is alive—which is fantastic, but with it comes the realization that Castiel is very much alive and five feet from Dean at all hours. In an effort to distance himself emotionally and also to investigate a spur-of-the-moment case, Dean finds himself in the awkwardest sexual situation of his life—getting cockblocked by the ghost of a nun in the back of a sex shop in coastal Florida.
Except, as soon as he gets back to the motel, Castiel can't keep his hands to himself—and frankly, neither can Dean. In a series of events that he can barely keep track of, Dean juggles an obnoxiously horny store clerk, Castiel's apparent long-term love affair with Dean's everything, and a ghost that refuses to leave the three of them alone. Now, if only Dean could answer the question—how is it all connected, and why now, of all times, does he finally realize that he's in love with his best friend?

Summary
It’s like the bunker gathers secrets. It holds them close. It watches, and listens, and discerns. And when an earthquake ripples across the Kansas flatlands, it knows how to protect itself.
It doesn’t lament the loss when something vital cracks deep in the heart of it.
After all, it’s been waiting for this.
..........
The boys are locked in the bunker. And they're not alone.

Summary
In his final year of college, Dean Winchester’s got a lot of decisions to make: what he’s going to do with his life, where he’s going to do it, and most importantly, which girl he’s going to do... right now. And later tonight. And the next night. And the next—
When new transfer student Castiel Novak shows up first in his class, and then his friend group, Dean can’t help but see it as an infiltration. Something is up with Castiel, and he’s going to find out what. More accurately, he’s going to enlist his best and longest suffering hacker friend, Charlie Bradbury, to do it for him.
Not a single one of Dean’s suspicions has anything to do with the fact that upon their first meeting, Castiel insults his shoes, his general existence, and his masculinity by— looking at him like that.

Summary
As a grease monkey turned college freshman, Dean's constantly three seconds away from being stressed out of his mind. It hardly helps that he's finally figuring out his sexuality in his thirties.
What might help with that stress is a little phone number (and a big credit card bill). If he can't figure out how to be bisexual in person, he can at least give it a go over the phone, right?
(It's probably a bad idea, but he really can't help himself.)

Summary
Dean keeps going back.
When he arrives, it's always to blooming flowers and a windmill in the background, not too far from a brook, the sun painting the plains.
He likes it there. He likes to stand in front of the makeshift urn and check that it's still where he put it, switching out the flowers when they wilt. He likes to listen to the sound of birds chirping, insects singing, the faint sound of water trickling in the distance. He likes to turn his face up and feel the sun on his skin, wondering if Cas would do the same if he were here, somehow knowing that he would.
He likes to talk.
There's never a response, but Dean feels the breeze rustle through his hair and watches the flowers bob when bees come to them and stares as the windmill keeps turning, turning, turning. And he imagines that Cas is replying—the windmill is the tilted head, the bobbing flowers are a gentle smile, the breeze is whatever words Dean wants to hear at the time.
Sometimes, it's almost like he's there.
