    Summary

    Dean had said, “I’m right there with you, I don’t like loud noises either. I mean, being afraid of loud noises is a good thing, though. It’s just your body telling you something big is happening and that you might need to get somewhere safe. Is that what happened on Tuesday when all the lockers went crazy?”

    A pause.

    “Did you see anything that seemed weird, or did you make yourself safe in one of the rooms?”

    And it struck Castiel then how Dean phrased that. How he didn’t say Did you hide? as in Did you run away? as in Were you not brave enough of a little soldier to stay and figure out just what was trying to hurt you?

    He had said- Did you make yourself safe?

    or the one where dean and cas are investigating a haunting in an elementary school, things are still new between them, and cas has more love than he knows what to do with

    Summary

    It's like being buried at the bottom of a very deep, very dark well. Castiel has lived enough, sinned enough, for the weight of his mistakes to pin him flat in the darkness. It's shame and guilt and grief and each memory anchors him with a razor specificity, there in the lightless silence. This is how it works, he supposes. His own thoughts will devour him alive until he sips oblivion by choice, out of sheer desperation, and the void will know peace at last.

    But that was the bargain. He took that upon himself. His choice. Choice, he thinks, and would laugh if he still had a mouth to laugh with. Freedom is a length of rope.

    Then, after what could have been many eternities or just one, a pang of agony comes that isn't his own.

    Or: the one where Castiel saves himself.

    Summary

    “You don’t need to say anything,” Cas says. “It’s all right.”

    Dean bristles at that. Cas doesn’t get it. He doesn’t understand. Dean does need to say something. If he had just been able to say something to his mom, maybe she would have stayed.

    Summary

    “Actually,” he says. “Let’s buy a house.”

    “What?” Jack asks, eyes wide.

    “Let’s get a house,” Dean says. “Let’s find somewhere and--and live there. Somewhere with windows.”

    “Windows?” Jack says, like he’s never heard of such a thing.

    “Yeah,” Dean says. “How does that sound?” Jack drops his animal crackers and throws himself at Dean, wrapping his tiny arms around Dean’s waist.

    Summary

    Dean doesn’t know what to do. Dean wants to say stay with me, stay with me and never leave. Dean wants to apologize. Dean wants to set his mouth at the hollow of Cas’s throat as gently as he’s ever done anything, feel the beat of Cas’s heart beneath his lips. Dean is so lonely, and he’s missed him so much.

    *

    A year and a half after Cas is saved from the Empty, Dean is living out his days alone on a piece of farmland in rural Kansas. One day, Cas shows up on his porch.
