Summary
"When he was the one to first reach the righteous man, he felt victorious. When he first touched the righteous man, he felt found.
Castiel recognizes now the inherent poeticism in being found before even knowing he was lost.
And now that he had been found, now that he had been saved by the Gospel of Dean, it was lost on Castiel as to how his superiors claimed his salvation damned him."
or: devotion as persistence. as care. as "you are knowable." as "you are lovable."
Series
- Part 1 of safe. wanted. home.

Summary
"Eddie doesn’t really remember the ride back to the station.
He’s vaguely aware of the three sets of eyes very deliberately not staring at him. He’s hyper-aware of one particular set that's been glued to him since before they left the scene. Since the moment he started to float away. Since before that, probably. Since they both walked in for their shift hours before."
or: a quiet evolution in touch and trust

Summary
"Buck takes another moment to observe before moving silently to the kitchen. There’s a bowl full of fruit from his trip to the farmer’s market earlier that day. He hesitates for a moment before selecting several pieces. An orange. An apple. A handful of cherries."
or: sometimes the best way to tell someone "i love you" is with a bowl of fruit.

Summary
It makes Dean wonder what happens when planets collide with stars. What would happen, if the earth was swallowed by the sun? Would they converge, like old lovers at long last reunited? Beautiful and damned, like Icarus and Apollo? Or would they meet, scorned and scorched? Violent delights with their violent ends, fire and powder consuming and triumphant in their demise?
Dean doesn’t know, but he finds himself with eyes turned upward watching the sky, waiting to find out.
or: the road to soft, simple, and forever.

no sweeter innocence (than our gentle sin) by icaruspendragon for howldean

Summary
“Are you okay?”
“Peachy.” He bites out at the stranger. A stranger he can now see is a very attractive man wearing a very creepy, ill-fitting trench coat.
“You don’t look peachy.” The stranger replies with narrowed eyes.
“You should get your eyes checked. I’m fine.” Dean tells him, turning his attention to the ground at his feet. There’s a cigarette butt next to his boot. He kicks at it.
The man scoffs, which causes Dean to look back up at him and the guy looks a little darker than he did a moment ago. Stormy.
“I can see things you couldn’t even begin to fathom. I can most assuredly see right through you. You’re not, ‘peachy.’” And this asshole actually uses air quotes around peachy.
or: dean has a conversation with a weird guy outside a bar. stranger things have happened.

Summary
There’s about a palm’s width of distance between Eddie’s knee and Buck’s thigh, where they’re both sitting on Eddie’s couch. It would barely take any movement at all for Eddie to just nudge his leg over a little further, press their knees together and let his rest there.
or the one where frank tells eddie he should work on letting himself want things, and eddie starts by cuddling with buck

Summary
“So- so you’d basically be using some sort of sigil to mask our human souls from the Empty?” Sam’s voice interrupts Dean’s desperate train of thought and startles him back to the present.
“Yes.” Jack is nodding, smiling, all gap-toothed and kindergarten positivity.
“And the only parts of us the Empty would see are whatever dead leaves the angels and demons left in our gutters?” Dean raises his eyebrows.
“Exactly.”
He lets out a low whistle. There’s a living warmth finally coming back into his complexion. Not done yet, Winchester, still one more rescue mission. “It’s gotta be me. I’m going.”

Summary
Dean’s expression is dubious where he cocks up one eyebrow. “Cas, this isn’t- There’s nothing I can do about it, okay?” The walls of him, the barb of him that had been there when Castiel stepped into the bathroom, has been reduced to nothing. In these sorts of moments, Dean willingly shows his hurt. And maybe- maybe he will let Castiel help after all. “It’s just… in my head.”
“There’s nothing you can do about it.”
Dean blinks at him, startled.
“Like I said, there’s something I could try.”
Looking down to his hands, then back up to Castiel, Dean seems to hesitate. “And it’ll- it’s not just more soap is it?”
“No, Dean,” the beginnings of something fond make the corners of Castiel’s lips twitch, “it’s not more soap.”
or the one where castiel imagines them all a peaceful cowboy life and helps dean wash his hands

Summary
You won’t be able to stop me, Dean thinks into the silence. Just take me, please, take me instead—
EYE FOR AN EYE, says the Empty.
Dean is on his knees in his bedroom, elbows on his mattress like he thought he might pray.
The voice fills Dean’s mind as slowly as cold oil, and drips down the back of his neck.
TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.
*
Dean makes a deal.
