    Summary

    Dean’s optimism lasts for an hour, but then the post-reunion jitters wear off, and Dean remembers just how much of a pain in the ass that Sam can be.

    “Cas seems nice,” Sam says, shooting Dean yet another smile, his fourth one in the last ten minutes.

    “Yeah,” Dean says, keeping his voice even and his eyes on the road. “Really nice dude.” Dean doesn’t mention the swing he’d taken at the same asshole earlier that morning. Nor the resulting bruises to his ribcage, which have long since been healed up. But Sam is here now, and everything from before no longer matters. Dean cruises down the interstate, his brother riding shotgun, and Cas is forgiven.

    “Where’d you two meet?” Sam asks, all sly-like, as if he knows something, when really, Sam doesn’t know shit. “On a case?”

    “Disneyland,” Dean says, clenching his jaw in growing irritation. “Mind your own business.”

    Or, Sam isn't resurrected in the S2 finale. John won't go to Heaven. Dean won't go to Hell. And Cas, in his first act of free will, won't accept John Winchester as The Righteous Man.

    Summary

    Then: There are rumors of a faith healer performing miracles all over the Midwest. Dean Winchester knows damn well that miracles ain't real and that faith healers are full of shit, but this one... This one might just be the real deal. And he's not the only one who thinks that.

    Castiel Novak knows a thing or two about faith healers and although Dean would normally never dream of dragging a civilian along on a case, he could really use Cas' expertise here. Besides, with Sammy off at Stanford and John barking orders at him from three states away, Dean is pretty fucking lonely. And Castiel, with his kind eyes and his uncanny ability to get under Dean's skin in all the best ways, fits into the Impala's passenger seat just right.

    Until, of course, it all comes crashing down around them.

    Now: It's been five years since Castiel last saw Dean, but when he gets a call in the middle of the night, he recognizes the voice on the other end of the line immediately. Dean is in trouble and he needs Castiel's help. And, well.

    Castiel always comes when Dean calls.

    Summary

    A Curse of Obedience is cast on Dean. Dean finds himself forced to obey every “order” given to him (very literally). Worse, the witch made sure that he can’t even tip off Sam or Cas with what’s going on. Will either of them figure it out? Or will Dean be stuck doing what they say (even if it isn’t what they mean)?

    Summary

    “No bringing me back, okay? You know… You know that always ends bad,” Dean had said.

    Well, Dean had also said that they always ignored the whole ‘not bringing each other back’ thing because of their deep, abiding love for each other. It was a non-promise, and there was no way in Rowena’s Hell that Sam was going to live out the rest of his life sitting on top of a bunker full of resources and not do something to reverse what had happened to Dean.

    Sam doesn’t need to dig very far before he lands on a reasonable idea: use Henry’s time travel spell and finish what Dad never could, and take out the masked vamps before they ever become an issue. That way, Dean wouldn’t have to die—least of all like that—in the first place. Simple.

    Except that the spell lands 2020 Sam smack-dab in the middle of a motel parking lot, where a lonely Dean is reeling from 2003 Sam’s lack of communication.

    Summary

    When a reporter asks Dean, a homeless man with a mysterious past, why he exclusively keeps close to the billboards and posters of a specific male model—the one Dean likes to refer to as the angel with spectacular blue eyes—in a moment of weakness, thinking it won’t change anything about his situation, Dean tells him the truth: it’s how he finds comfort and solace. Something that is difficult to come by.
    That is until the story reaches the ears of Castiel Novak, the model in question.
