Summary
After a hunt goes wrong, Dean comes home with blood on his hands and grief gnawing at his chest. He failed to save someone, again, and the guilt threatens to drown him. Castiel finds him spiraling in the dark, locked away with a bottle and a silence he can’t outrun.
What begins as quiet comfort slowly becomes something more. Castiel stays, not to fix Dean, but to hold him through the weight of it. And when Dean finally lets himself be touched, it’s not just about pleasure. It’s about being seen, being loved, and maybe, finally, believing he deserves it.
Angst melts into tenderness. Grief becomes comfort. And through it all, Castiel never stops holding him.

What's the worst that could happen?

Summary
Sam put his hands up slightly, trying to diffuse some of the tension. "It's him. I've run him through every test we know how to do."
"No, Sam. It's just Lucifer." Dean closed his eyes. "It's just a dream."
Sam's face scrunched. "No Dean, it's not."
"It always is." Dean waited. Every night he has the nightmare. He gets the call and goes running. He's on a case and he sees him. A hundred variations on getting Cas back, and it's always Lucifer.
"Not this time."
(Way #1 the finale could have been better)

Summary
Daddy’s blunt little instrument.
It’s all he had ever known because it’s all he was ever shown. He was only as good as his last kill. His worth came from his ability to take care of Sam. He existed to take care of others. And Dean had been okay with that, or at least he thought he had been.
Everything changed for Dean when he met Castiel. And everything changed again with the love that came from knowing Castiel.
or: loving deeply gives you strength. being deeply loved gives you courage.

Summary
Dean wakes up one day to find himself living a happy, apple-pie life with Cas, with no clue of how he got there, and no idea how to get back to his own reality. Just when he finally accepts that he might be stuck there, and that maybe being stuck doing life with Cas is what he might actually want, Dean is dragged back to real life only to discover it was all just a djinn-induced dream.
Having gotten a taste of what life with Cas could really be like, Dean can't cope with their 'just friends' status anymore, but he doesn't know how to approach Cas about it, especially since the former-angel has been unusually standoffish and reserved these last few months.
Will Dean find a way to confess his feelings and go after the one thing he really wants?
