    Summary

    A young boy dead. A missing suspect who was the last to see the victim alive. A folder sitting on his motel room dresser he can’t open. Nightmares of heaven. Dreams of a blood soaked M4.

    Or:

    Castiel is a police officer who, following the dissolution of his marriage, moves to a small town riddled with unexplainable deaths and a lead suspect who has a claim of innocence and just as many unanswered questions as him.

    Summary

    Dean's never had faith. That's always been Sammy. But he thinks if there were ever a time for divine intervention, it would be now. Gazing up at the few stars that aren't occluded by the haze and light pollution, he feels fucking stupid when he opens his mouth to speak.

    "God, if you're out there," he says, "I don't know what to do. I... I don't have anybody left. I need some help. God, man, just give me a sign."

    Closing his eyes, he sits there. He can hear far off sounds of traffic and the whistle of the wind, but not much else. He thinks he catches a distant fluttering of wings, but there's no reply. Not that he really expected one.

    (S1/S2 Rewrite) After Sam refuses to help Dean find their father, Dean prays for guidance. He doesn't expect to find it in an awkward, amnesiac angel, but at least he's easy on the eyes.

    Summary

    “Adam Winchester was born just after noon on September 29, 1990, while Dean was in the middle of teaching Sam Omaha hold ‘em.”

    Dean would do anything for his little brothers — both of them.

     

    AU where Adam is raised by John instead of Kate. I plan for it to follow the boys up through the end of season 5.

    Summary

    Now that Chuck is gone and Cas is back, they can finally just live their lives. Dean is still trying to figure out what that means for him and if he can trust Cas to stay this time. He’s also trying to figure out where Cas is getting the random assortment of objects he keeps pulling out of his sleeve. He always seems to have exactly what Dean needs. Or maybe the truth is that Cas is exactly what Dean needs.

    --------------------------------

    Cas flicks his hand in a motion that Dean finds familiar, the same one that always produces his angel blade. But instead of the silvery-white gleam of his signature weapon, a little book of matches falls into his palm. He hands it off to Dean. It’s from a strip club in St. Louis, judging by the mirrored silhouettes of two curvaceous women and the address printed on it.

    “Got something to tell me?” Dean chuckles.

    “Yes. I agree you’re getting too old for digging up graves. Although I assume you were asking where I got the matches. I’m not going to tell you.”

    Dean gapes at him. “What? Why?”

    “Because the expression on your face is hilarious,” Cas says, and saunters off toward the car.

    Summary

    Dean saves Castiel from the Empty, but that fixes nothing.

    You do not walk into the void with a human soul and emerge unaltered.

    You do not walk into the void with a human soul, period.

    But Dean did. Worse, Dean did it for Castiel. To rescue him. Out of friendship, fraternity. Out of love. Just—not the right kind.

    Perhaps it's wrong of him, perhaps it's unfair and petty and all-too-human, but.

    Castiel resents him for it.
