Almost a year to the day, and Castiel is still sick. After months of blackouts and near misses, Dean has managed to find a way to quell the spells and drag Castiel back from the proverbial abyss. However, when Castiel progressively gets worse and Dean’s voice is no longer enough to keep him conscious, Dean sets out to find every faith healer in the country in the hopes that one of them might shed light on what’s happening, and how to prevent it.

Only, Dean and Castiel find out more than they bargained for—and that the solution, apparently, has been right under their noses the whole time.

Forget the Sky

Forget the Sky by LoversAntiquities Rating: Teen  Word Count: 26k

After years of bum luck on lottery scratch offs in almost every state in the nation, Dean strikes it rich on a ticket and comes into the possession of fifteen thousand dollars—after taxes. After finishing a near-fruitless hunt with Castiel at his side, and with decades worth of exhaustion in his bones, together they come up with a plan—throw a dart at a map pinned to their motel wall, and fly to the first place it lands. Only, Dean never anticipated that traveling to Japan would involve staying so close to Castiel at all hours on unsure footing, and thousands of miles from Sam and his home, everything from simple touches to sideways glances, it all comes to a head in the middle of the night—How is he supposed to enjoy his vacation when he's sleeping next to the love of his life?

Wouldn’t we all agree that both Dean and Cas deserve a nice vacation?

Well, if you’re nodding your head along just now, I would highly recommend clicking on this fic and diving right in!

Because after winning a good amount of money Cas proposes that a trip to somewhere overseas would be just the thing they need and naturally Dean can’t say no to his angel. So after letting fate choose, they find themselves traveling to Japan and instead of monster hunting their lives suddenly consist of battling fear of flying, being proper tourists, getting to know the unfamiliar culture, sharing rooms and beds and stories and (at least on Dean’s side) doing a whole lot of pining. 

But maybe Cas was right after all and this is exactly what they needed … 

This story is certainly beautiful from start to finish! It’s an absolute delight to watch Dean and Cas grow closer and talk about more intimate things, opening up to one another in manners they haven’t before. 

Furthermore, it is rather refreshing to see a change of scenery and experience Dean reacting to a completely different setting from what he is used to. I myself have actually never been to Japan before either, but the way the author describes it all makes me almost jump onto the next plane and see it for real 😆 Dean surely is in awe of it all and Cas is more than excited to show him everything.

So yes, if you’re in the mood for a gorgeous and soft fic, you’re most definitely at the right address!

Summary: Five years after Castiel's death, Dean has built a life in Murphy, North Carolina. A decent life, with a house he built with his own hands, and Jack, now five years old and beginning kindergarten in the fall. Only, after a string of failed relationships and sleepless nights staring at the urn on his windowsill, he makes an unwilling decision--to bury Castiel for good. Only, the night he and Jack bury Castiel's ashes, the unthinkable happens--Castiel rises from the dead, wounded from his time in the Empty, and with his resurrection comes questions Dean never thought he would need answered. Namely, how long will Castiel stay with him--and will the Empty come back for him, once and for all?

Excerpt: On the other end, the phone rings three times—then a fourth, and Dean’s heart sinks. A fifth, and the dial tone ends halfway, the noise replaced with a tired sigh. “Isn’t it a little late for you to be calling?” Dean snorts and tilts his head back, eyes closed. “Jack had a hard day. Swear, the kid’s brain never shuts off.” Mary hums a noise. A metal chair scrapes the concrete floor on the other end, grating in Dean’s ears. Kitchen, then. “When you were three, you used to go on these tangents,” she says, mirthful yet somehow sad. “I couldn't understand what you were saying most of the time, but on the days you talked the most, it took forever to put you to bed.” “I probably gave you hell,” Dean says. He rubs the bridge of his nose, the pressure only furthering the ache behind his eyes. “I’m turning into John.” For a long moment, Mary doesn’t reply. Dean listens to her walk, her socked feet padding lightly through the Bunker; a door opens, then clicks shut. “Don’t talk about yourself like that,” she says, quiet. “What happened?” Nothing, he thinks. In the grand scheme of things, today’s incident was barely a drop in the bucket of Dean’s bad parenting skills, but it still stings all the same. “I’m—The kid scares me to death,” he says with a pained laugh. “I thought I was getting better at this. I thought, if I did everything the opposite of what dad did to me, then I’d finally redeem myself, but I…” A breath. “He scared me today, and I—I scared him.” “Dean.” Her bed frame creaks. Dean imagines her sitting on the edge of her mattress, dressed in a cotton robe with her hair pulled back, her eyes just as tired as the day he left. “I wish you would’ve let us help.” “I know.” Admittedly, he should have let Mary and Sam take on co-parenting duties, but Jack was Castiel’s son, and for some reason, letting anyone else take responsibility of him felt like betrayal. “I’m not gonna throw a kid in your lap again, especially after you just…” After you came back, he wants to say. “Know it ain’t been easy on you, either.” “It hasn’t,” Mary says, “but it’s getting better.” There’s that, at least.

HI! I was wondering if you have any fics where cas doesn't easily forgive dean or tells dean how he's hurt cas or something similar?

I had a similar ask a while ago.

The End of the Road (So Far) - anyrei, queerwerewolf   Ao3

Set S15 AU.   God is the big bad, the only way it could get worse is if Cas walks away, needing to not be around Dean anymore.  So its worse.  Their solution to the God problem is getting Amara to help them do to God what he did to her.  Dean is going to have to face up to both his angel and his feelings if he wants to fix the other bit.

Word Count: 51k                              Graphic Sexual Acts

Nearly Broken – angelofthequeers   Ao3

Set S12.  Everyone is on edge after the encounter with Billie, Cas in particular is angry.  When Dean talks to him about it, he learns that Cas is sick of not feeling cared about.  Dean finally mans up and tells the angel what he really means to Dean.

Word Count: 6k                                 Graphic Sexual Acts

A Prior Claim – Angrysouffle   Ao3

Set S9.  Cas is angry with Dean because of the MoC, as he sees Dean’s acceptance of it as a betrayal of their own profound bond and his prior claim on Dean’s soul.

Word Count: 2k                                 Non-Graphic Sex

what a terrible world, what a beautiful world – dullahans   Ao3

Set S15 AU.  What if Dean reached out to Cas not long after the ‘break up’ and he then put the effort into fixing their friendship, how would S15 go then?

Word Count: 35k                              Non-Graphic Sex

once you're burned you're not the same – loversantiquities   Ao3

Set S12.  Unable to sleep after their escape from prison, Dean finds Cas, who is clearly upset and they talk some things out.

Art Masterpost: Everywhere Story by LoversAntiquities (@tragidean) Art by sidewinder (@hawkland)

It was so, so exciting to get to work with @tragidean​ again—and to get to open this year’s @deancaspinefest on Destiel Anniversary Day, no less! I absolutely adored this story and I hope you do as well. I always love the sense of atmosphere and location in Ash’s stories and so I wanted to try to capture as many of the varied ones featured in “Everywhere” as possible. I had fun playing with a bunch of different techniques on these pieces, too: loose washes for the sunrise through Cas’s sunroof and the aurora borealis in his dream, using watercolor gesso to build up the texture of Cas’s wings before adding interference paints to create a shimmer effect, and including some handmade metallic/glitter paints in the last piece for the sand (and sparkly highlights in Dean’s hair :D).

I’ll be back later in March with another Pinefest collaboration with a very different vibe, but for now please go read this fic and be sure to give the author plenty of love!

Posting on Thursday March 14

Almost a year to the day, and Castiel is still sick. After months of blackouts and near misses, Dean has managed to find a way to quell the spells and drag Castiel back from the proverbial abyss. However, when Castiel progressively gets worse and Dean's voice is no longer enough to keep him conscious, Dean sets out to find every faith healer in the country, in the hopes that one of them might shed light on what's happening, and how to prevent it. Only, Dean and Castiel find out more than they bargained for—and that the solution, apparently, has been right under their noses the whole time.

Keep reading for a sneak preview!

He takes the right, barely tapping the brakes. At the first clear patch of shoulder, Dean pulls off and slams the truck into park, shuttering the engine. He kicks the door open, rounds the engine—yanks the passenger handle so hard that he fears it might break. Hands to Castiel’s biceps, Dean helps him out of the seat and into the grass, just before Castiel turns to dead weight in his arms. Keeping him upright is a feat—getting him backed up against the side panel is a miracle.

“Hey, hey,” Dean rasps. He pats Castiel’s cheek, searching for Castiel’s eyes in the dark. “Hey, look at me, okay? Touch me, hey—” He takes Castiel by the wrist and maneuvers him, forcing Castiel to touch the warm cotton of his T-shirt. Limp, Castiel holds on. “Hey, I—I know you’re in there. You’re always in there, alright? Just hold on to me.”

Castiel’s head lists forward; Dean presses him into the quarter panel with all of his strength. “When we were,” Dean begins, a little too brittle, a little too rough. “When me and Sam were teenagers, we went to this… this canyon in Georgia. Dad said it was the Grand Canyon, but we weren’t even in the right part of the country, but we—we didn’t wanna fight him on it, ‘cause he actually took us somewhere, y’know?” He smiles, fighting back the tremble in his fingers, the ache in his heart. “All the runoff from the farms gouged out a canyon in the middle of nowhere, and it was just so…”

He stops to look down at his tennis shoes, so worn that he can almost see his toe poking through. “Sam thought it was the greatest thing ever. I—Shit, I barely remember it, but every once in a while, he’ll still talk about it, like the week before we weren’t chasing a ghoul across the entire fucking state. But I remember looking at it, and I thought…” He tightens his grip. “For once, I felt calm. Like I was… small, and like my problems didn't matter. Picture it.” He sucks in air, slow, like it might spur Castiel into breathing. “Water cutting through the clay. The green of the trees growing around the tops of the canyon walls. A river. Babbling brooks.”

Dean shakes his head, fighting a laugh. “You hear the water?”

Silence—then, a breath, and the weight piled on Dean’s shoulders threatens to bury him in the grass. Castiel blinks, his mouth forming around a word Dean can’t hear. “Hey, hey,” Dean hushes. He clasps both sides of Castiel’s neck, thumbs pressed to his Adam’s apple as he swallows. “Hey, you with me?”

“It’s loam,” Castiel croaks, and Dean lifts a brow. “Most of the soil in southern Georgia is composed of sand and clay—”

“Okay, not what I’m concerned about.” He swallows around the knot in his throat. “Seriously, you wanna give me a geology lesson, any other time. Now, are you good?”

“Sam, you gotta hear about this ghost story I found the other day,” Susanne says over the speakerphone, just as loud as she has been for the last half hour. For the most part, Castiel ignores her—or tries—and concentrates on the beads dangling from between his fingers, centerpiece pressed to his forehead. Praying doesn’t work, but some mornings, when the coffee doesn’t get him going and the walls feel more like a prison than a home, he sits at the library table and whispers empty words into the crucifix, like Jesus can ease the festering ache in his chest. He can’t—no one else can either.

I never would have expected to go through so many feelings within such a short fic.

The story takes place in the aftermath of Dean being possessed by Michael and the emotional and physical scars the traumatic event left behind.

We see the world through Cas' eyes while he and Sam have lost hope of finding Dean after he leaves the bunker without saying goodbye.

It makes your heart ache to read what everyone is going through, how hopeless and depressing the world is to Castiel without Dean.

And after they do find him, what we learn about what Dean went through will break your heart even more.

But this fic is also about hope, and it ends on a positive note that will leave you rooting for the boys' happiness and peace in their new retired life.
