Castiel returned on a Tuesday by Macy2me for SwampSovereign
Fandoms: Supernatural (TV 2005)

Summary
When Jack pulled Castiel from the Empty he was covered in black goo, kneeling on all fours and immediately torn between wanting to wrap his kid in a hug and go back to the shadows. He had not expected to come back this time. Not many deathbed confessions are given a response and Castiel didn’t want to know.
It took nearly a year to get Heaven in order. Father and son worked side by side to make Heaven the way it should have been from the beginning. But when it was done, Jack didn’t want to interfere anymore. He wanted to be hands off. He wanted to be a kid.
When Dean was walking through a small coastal side town, killing time while his Baby was being repaired, he hadn’t expect to run into a small child with familiar blue eyes, nor did he expect to hear the voice of supposedly dead best friend.

Summary
“Do you trust me, Dean?”
“You know I do,” Dean answered, his voice carrying resignation and sadness. He knew Cas was right. This was the only way if he wanted to help save his brother. He had to do it, even though everything in him wanted to fight it. But he trusted Cas with his life. And now he was going to show him just how deep that trust ran.
Dean fell to his knees in front of the angel, bowing his head forward as he was fitted with the extraordinarily heavy collar. Castiel’s fingers caressed his skin when he closed the clasp of the sign of slavery; the symbol that gave Dean’s life over to the angel’s mercy. Dean suppressed the urge to close his eyes.
~
We know good people go to Heaven and bad people go to Hell, but where do the medium people go? Welcome to Limbo, a fourth plane of existence, ruled by angels and built upon the servitude of the humans enslaved to them.
While on a routine salt n’ burn, the Winchester boys encounter a garrison of angels. Sam ends up being taken to Limbo; leaving it up to his brother, Dean, and the angel, Castiel to infiltrate the plane in order to rescue him.

Summary
“I want you.” Dean’s voice is quiet, breaking with anticipation and anxiety all at once. “If you want me.”
Castiel nods, takes a step back, and pushes his own shirt, unbuttoned and wrinkled, off his shoulders. “This is disobedience—this is me disobeying another God. This is me betraying Heaven and falling all over for you again, isn’t it?”
“I don’t know. But this is me telling you that the thing you wanted, you had all along. You had me all along.” For a moment, Dean feels like he can’t breathe, the creeping reality that maybe Castiel will leave him again sinking through him. Maybe this time it won’t be the Empty crawling over Castiel and dragging him away, maybe this time Castiel will be taken forever by a furious God.
[In a dark barn in Ohio, a dying Dean Winchester prays to Castiel to save him. But Castiel - saved from the Empty from new God Jack Kline - is under orders not to interfere with humanity. Castiel disobeys, heals Dean in a slow recovery that leaves Dean craving more than just Castiel's grace. Part 1 of a series about saving TFW 2.0 from the fates given to them by the finale].

Summary
“I mean, just imagine, the two of us and Cas and Eileen, a nice wide beach and breakfast at the pool, sleeping in...you could learn how to surf and me and Cas could do some yoga…”, Sam babbles some more and Dean snorts at that image, but turns serious again real quick.
Because seriously.
Why the fuck not?
“Okay”, he finally interrupts Sam’s speech about trying new food and how they never swam in the ocean and do you think Cas knows how to swim? and Sam falls silent.
“Okay?”, he echoes and Dean shrugs.
“Yeah, okay. You’re right, we really deserve this. So let’s do it.”
---
The one where Dean figures out his feelings for Castiel after they defeated Chuck. But - at the beach.

Summary
Cas’s mouth drops open. Motionless like a statue he stays right there where he is, his hand still reaching out in Dean’s direction, eyes jumping between Dean’s face and the silver ring. When he doesn’t say something, Dean clears his throat. He had prepared a speech for this, he knows he did, but the only thing he’s saying is:
“Yeah. Consider yourself married now.”
Not a question. Not a proposal. Just cold, hard facts.
---
Cas comes back from the Empty and Dean decides to do what he has to do.

Summary
Cas looks even more tired than Dean feels. His eyes are red and the bags under them are more prominent than ever. His hair is a hot mess, reminding Dean of the time when Cas was still able to take off any second with just a flick of his wings. The cut on his neck is covered with a white bandage now and he wears different clothes, a gray sweatpants and a black shirt with a hole on the collar, that Dean recognizes as one of his. It makes him look different. It makes him look soft.
Dean likes it a lot.
---
Cas is back and that is great. Except that it worries Dean how much Cas struggles to adjust to humanity, haunted by nightmares and memories every night. So it's just a gesture of their friendship, despite Castiel's feelings for him, when Dean offers Cas to stay with him at night.

Summary
"I knew you'd freak," said Sam. "But we don't have time for that. Cas doesn't have time. I honestly don't mind doing it –"
"No way." Dean took a deep breath and his hands were balled into fists. "If anyone's gonna bend over for Cas, it's me. End of debate."
"Dean - " said Cas.
"You too, Cas. Shut it. This is the only idea we've had for days. Let's do it. The birds and the bees. Let's –"
He faltered for a second, then grinned. It was that same brittle shit-eating grin Sam had seen him wear a million times since they were kids, his everything's-fine-Sam-what-are-you-talking-about grin.
This had all the makings of a hot mess.
Alternative version of what happens when Cas is cursed at the start of Season Eleven, now with added sex magic.

Summary
Cas’s fingertips held in his own, Dean brings the angel’s hand to his mouth, and presses his lips to Cas’s weathered knuckles.
It’s just a thank you. It’s just a way of saying thank you.
Of saying 'thanks, I know that having to do this shit all the time must annoy you, and I know that for some reason you’ve chosen to worry about me and I’m sorry that you have to, and also, I appreciate it.'
It took Dean years not to resent the help of Cas healing him. But slowly the resentment melts into tolerance, and again into thankfulness. And every time Cas touches Dean to heal him, he starts saying his thanks by repaying in touch. It starts with grazing his lips against Cas's knuckles, squeezing his hands, kissing the soft skin of his wrist.
It’s a way of saying thanks. And, he guesses, sorry.
Of saying, 'Sorry for scaring you. I don’t know how me being hurt could scare you like it always seems to. But it always seems to. And that scares me.'

Summary
He presses a hand to his chest, taking the moment to revel in the novel sensation of a normal, steady heartbeat. The slight pressure hurts, but it’s a different kind of hurt. He wonders, idly, if this is what healing pain feels like: closer to the surface than before, and more localized.
