Summary
In which Amara doesn't bring back Mary, she brings back John Winchester.
Dean is uncertain what Amara's meaning is when she brings John back, and struggles with coming to terms with the new family dynamic. Sam tries harder to keep the peace than he used to, and Cas does not get along with John at all- though he tries. Testosterone is at an all-time high as these four men struggle to coexist in the hunting world with very different ideologies.
We explore just how much the brothers have changed in the ten years without their father's guidance, the trauma they still haven't resolved, and the feelings that Dean and Cas hold for one another despite the very real and new barrier that is John.
This story begins 12x01 and ends around 13x06

Summary
A man named Cas wakes up in 2003 with no memories, but he's able to piece together a few things:
Supernatural creatures exist, and most of them will hurt innocent civilians if he doesn't stop them; he has abilities that no human hunter should have, but he knows enough about human hunters to keep that to himself, and finally; he keeps running into another hunter named Dean Winchester, who must be as lonely as he is if he's willing to put up with those former facts long enough to help Cas unravel the mystery of who (or what) he really is.
For his part, Dean's still (not) dealing with Sam's departure to Stanford, and figures distracting himself with a bit of mystery and intrigue is as harmless as it gets, right? Right.

Summary
Chuck is depowered, Jack is the new god, and the world is free. Dean and Sam get into the Impala and chase down the miles on an endless highway, and their story is finally, finally their own to follow. At least, that's what Dean tells himself. But the diners and motels and painted interstate lines are blurring together and the smallest details keep catching at his brain like tiny fishhooks and he can't quite shake the feeling that not everything is exactly as it should be.

Summary
The first time she meets him, he's nothing more than an almost-missed appointment.
~~~
Dean is silent for a long, tense moment, then he gruffly says, "It's not for banishing the angels. It's to summon them. So, it doesn't—it's not to get rid of 'em, but to draw 'em in."
Mitzi can't help but glance up at him at that. His voice is so heavy with so much unexplained pain, and she doesn't understand why, or what angels have to do with it. She knows religion can impact people. She's very aware that it can get complicated, and that it can be a huge source of pain for someone, but Dean sounds grievously wronged, somehow, as if it's a truly personal thing.
She pushes through, focusing back on her job, clearing her throat before murmuring, "Well, I guess we all want angels to visit us sometimes."
"Just the one," Dean mumbles.
"Your guardian angel?" Mitzi asks.
Dean breathes out, "Something like that. As close to one as an angel will ever get."

Summary
It’s the sun rising. It’s what he thinks as he’s walking back to the cabin, where Jack and Sam will pretend that his eyes aren’t swollen red, where they’ll pretend that they didn’t see him cry as hard as he did. But the great light that comes from behind him isn’t that. The fire that ignites from the heart of the pyre isn’t the goddamn sun.
It’s Cas.
(fix-it coda for 13.01 where Cas comes back because I miss him)

Summary
A 14.13 Lebanon rewrite. When Dean uses a wish-granting pearl to try and kill the archangel Michael before he can escape the cage in Dean's head, they instead wind up with a newly-resurrected John Winchester.
It's been more than a decade since John died, and a lot has changed: Mary is alive, Sam and Dean have what passes for a proper home in the Men of Letters Bunker, and they're living with angels. John doesn't know angels are real, he doesn't know about the fragile new relationship between Dean and Castiel, and most of all, he doesn't know that Dean said yes to Michael, or that Dean's plan to defeat Michael would send him to a fate worse than death.
Now Dean must contend with both his father asking questions he can't answer, and his loved ones learning about the darker truths of his childhood, all while constantly battling the archangel trapped inside him. But Dean coming to terms with his history may be the difference between this being the beginning of a journey—or the end.

Summary
When did it get so dark? Dean can’t even begin to guess how much time has passed. The world stopped the moment the light inside Castiel had gone out for good.
He remembers sitting there on his knees, in complete shock and denial, for a long time before reality collided with him, far sooner than he ever would've expected it to. Far sooner than it ever has.
And suddenly, just like that, all the pain had unraveled from him in a huge, revolting tangle, and he couldn't get it back in.

Summary
He wasn't supposed to remember his visit to the future: helping with a case, facing his older self, meeting the angel he'll love. When 19yr-old Dean starts to recall what happened, he's desperate to claim the freedom and sanctuary that knowing his future provides. Teen-Dean is back with new Case-Fic-With-Feelings. This time, Sam is missing, and Teen-Dean calls on Past-Cas to help find him.
Main tags are for filter & search, but this fic also contains: 90s vibes, dream sequences, cool librarians, Cas being called 'angel' in an undeniably flirtatious way, references to Annie Proulx's "Brokeback Mountain", vessels' rights, poor decision-making, the California coast, my questionable understanding of physics???, twice the Dean/Cas you normally get, Dad Books™, unbridled tenderness, stoner witches, more references to Carl Jung than you might expect in Supernatural fanfiction, high romanticism, Young Dean at his most earnest, and so much yearning.

Summary
“He doesn’t blame me. And he’s looking forwards to when he gets to see Sam again. I think he misses you,” he adds thoughtfully. Castiel’s stomach drops down to his feet. “He didn’t say it. But he looked a little. I dunno, wistful? He was happy to know that you were okay.”
“I’m.” He clears his throat. “I miss him, too.”
“This seems very easy.”
“It’s… not.”
“You have been around longer than I have.” The leaves start shifting back to green, a brighter shade than they previously were. “But Meg has also been around for a while and she says you’re both emotionally constipated.”
Castiel wakes up in Heaven, and figures out where to go from there.
