    Summary

    “Do you always understand everything you feel?” Cas asked, one day.

    He thought, obscurely, that Spring was the right time for a question like this; or at least this Spring was - a Spring that felt fresh and light and hazy, still dazed by the wonder of Winter’s passing. Dean, sitting in the car beside him, looked washed out by it - or rather, washed clean, Cas supposed he meant. Softened, in any case.

    “How d’you mean?” Dean said. He turned to Cas, the bright sun shrinking out the darkness in his eyes - turning them green. Green like go-lights, green like mazes - no, gentler than both of those; green like the water-full leaves of succulent plants. Green like book covers, like peppermint-flavour candies.

    Summary

    The hair isn’t what's startling about her. It’s the oversized brown leather jacket she’s swathed in, the sleeves uncuffed that her hands just barely peek out from, that ends at the middle of her thighs. It looks like a piece of armor on her. It looks like a blanket on her. It looks startling like a mirror to Dean, who knows that jacket well.

    Or: Claire's got some emotional turmoil in a stolen oversized leather jacket. Dean remembers the feeling.

    Summary

    It’s nice, getting to take care of his family, getting to heal his family. Dean’s always been looking out for everyone else, was raised for it, bred for it even, and he’s made his peace with that. Held his baby brother in his arms and he knew what he was made for, going to sleep in beige hotel rooms stained in dark browns and reds with a baby in one hand and a revolver in the other.

    He’s never gotten to offer healing, saving, before. It’s the first time since he was a kid that looking out for family didn’t mean guns and death and revenge.

    Summary

    First, before anything, there was want.

    In one version of this story, Dean Winchester hasn't stopped moving since the day his father died. He hunts across the country but always comes back to California with the half-hearted hope of visiting Sam at Stanford, and an endless, restless, ceaseless pull to the desert.

    In one version of this story, Dean Winchester finds himself in the scorched heat of a Death Valley summer, on a hunt for a ghost. Or a purpose. Or an answer to the question that’s been tugging at his tendons for as long as he’s lived.

    In one version of this story, all Dean Winchester has ever done is want, and all Castiel has ever done is wait.

    Summary

    What good would that be? Who here could need proof that he ever existed? Who needs his boots traipsing around and leaving marks that mean… nothing, really.
    Because Dean stands, ghost on the shore of this grief, and the silt is undisturbed on his tongue. Dust of the ages speaking for itself the length of his silence.
    But Dean is alive, and Cas is not, and it’s November.

     

    or... dean grieves, four years later.
