Summary
A year after the Empty took Castiel, Jack finds a way to get him out.
Castiel is returned to the bunker, much to the surprise of Dean, Sam, and Eileen.
Dean is... Fine.
Okay, so he went a little insane while Cas was gone, but now the angel is back and seemingly for good, so he's fine. Just fine.
But he would be great if his brain could calm the fuck down and quit it with the heated daydreams, involved fantasies, and the kind of dreams that have had Dean waking up in the middle of the night covered in sweat and aching for Castiel.
Also, why is the long-faded handprint he got as a souvenir from Hell back on his shoulder, bright and angry as the first day he found it?Bookmarked by ablator

Oh, and feathers...there are a lot of those, too.

Summary
A week ago, Dean was pulled out of Hell. Now, he’s apparently woken up in 2018, and the angel that a mere twenty-four hours beforehand had threatened to chuck him back into the pit is sleepily pouring himself coffee and wearing Dean’s second-favourite Zeppelin shirt. It all seems like a perfect happy ending, but with Hell’s scars still so fresh, Dean can’t imagine how he could have possibly gotten there.
At the same time, the Dean who went to sleep in the bunker, right next to Cas, wakes up on Bobby’s couch in 2008. He’s instantly bombarded with questions by a Lilith-obsessed brother and a man who’s been dead for years, and must decide between keeping his finally-perfect life intact, and the lives he could save by re-writing history.
Regardless of these choices, both Deans are trapped in the wrong decade, and their only way back lies with a Castiel still very much under Heaven’s thumb – one who might find the future Dean describes difficult to believe.

Summary
So, the first thing that happens is Castiel comes back.
~~~
"Right," Dean says eventually, gruffly. He looks down at his shoes. "I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life, man. It's—you know, yours. Do your thing, love who you love, whatever. I can't really stop you from loving me, if that's what you've decided to do, but I don't—I can't—"
"I know," Castiel murmurs, still just smiling a little, not looking heartbroken at all. "Don't worry about it, Dean, that's all I ask."
"So we're—" Dean risks a glance up, swallowing thickly. "We're good?"
Castiel hums. "We're good."
