Summary
Four years into their relationship, Castiel discovers that curiosity can be its own form of hunger. What begins as a question about Dean’s old escort life, opens the door to a new season of intimacy between them. Together, Dean and Castiel turn curiosity into invitation, then invitation into exploration: roughness, restraint, denial, public risk, patience, fullness, and the slow, astonishing discovery that trust can keep unfolding into new rooms.
Or: Dean and Castiel invent increasingly obscene ways to say “I love you.”

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
The Apocalypse has been averted. Sam is gone. And when God brought Castiel back, it was in his diminished, powerless state.
A few months on, Dean and Cas have been circling each other as they navigate their weird new life at Bobby’s. It’s tenuous and uncertain and shaky as Hell, up until Cas gets sick. Really sick. As he’s suddenly stuck trying to keep Cas kicking, Dean is left to wonder what he’ll do if he loses the only thing he has left.
This fic is completed and will update once a week.

Summary
“Do you feel like you’re waiting for that call again?”
He should have expected the question, but it still took his breath away. Because yes, every time his phone rang, some small surge of hope rushed through him. Didn’t matter how hard he squashed it, didn’t matter that Lucifer had played on that very hope, he still scrambled to answer no matter what he was doing. And it hurt when every single time the voice on the other end belonged to anyone else.
All he could manage was a terse nod. She seemed fine with waiting him out while he tried to catch his breath, adjusting the thin gold band of her wristwatch and jotting down a couple of notes. When he spoke again, she set her pen down and met his level stare with one of her own.
“I keep looking for him around corners. I jump when my phone rings.” Dean dug his blunt fingernails into his palm while cold rage trickled and pooled in his middle. “He should be here to deal with the stupid shit he said to me before he died.”
--or--
Dean Winchester goes to therapy.
