Summary
His year away was a haze anyhow, and he did not need worried stares and silent judgment. He did not need them to know how he hardly kept it together. They did not need to know how Dean felt like he was losing his mind. About the monsters, upon monsters, and the blood that clung to Dean’s hands. About the drunk nights, and hospital visit when he took it too far. About the trashed motel rooms from when Dean needed to hit something so badly it felt like he was going to die, or about all the hits he conveniently failed to avoid. About the endless search for answers, for Sam, for that damn gun because he needed something to cling to. Something that he could hold in his hands and fire, because maybe that would make all of this okay.
They did not need any of that, and Dean wanted to forget it ever happened. He was fine, and Dean would tell himself that over and over again until he could believe it was true.
Or: Dean had spent of year on the road after Sam said yes to Lucifer, but ultimately ended up back at Bobby's. The reality of the situation is finally starting to set in, and Dean has a conversation with a Cas who is different that what he remembered.

Summary
As if the bubble in which Cas and Dean had trapped themselves popped, Dean suddenly remembered the reality outside his bedroom door. The world was still ending, Sam was still Lucifer’s personal meat suit, and there was still nothing Dean could do about it other than fight. It was a future of bloody knuckles, loss, and endless searching. Yet, for one, horrifying, selfish moment, Dean decided that he could ignore all of that for one night. He could drink himself silly with his best friend and pretend that everything was okay.
Or: Dean, upon returning from a mission to find the colt, finds a tipsy Cas waiting for him at Bobby's house.

Summary
Dean waited for the world to end before his very eyes. He waited to be thrust into a battle that was never his to fight. To see his brother through someone else's eyes, even though it would not be his brother at all. Dean waited to let himself go, to let this all be over. His life, his cause, his friends, his family, he waited for it all to end in a bloody blaze of glory.
But, nothing. It was a bit anticlimactic, all things considered. It was still quiet, unmoving, peaceful against all odds. Something about it made Dean uneasy.
Or: After the unfortunate death of Bobby due to the Croatoan Virus, by Dean's own hands. The hunter reaches a breaking point, and makes a rash decision that has unforeseen results.
