Don't hide this in the tags, omg!!
#I'm going to be annoying and say it depends on the theme of the episode. it depends what 'looking back' means within the context of#the spn mythos#which they would establish by talking to the still alive orpheus. who would be a white guy in a suit.#GOD an orpheus ep would be SO good#even with the covid and budget restraints like picture this:#we open and keep cutting back to Dean in the empty walking in the dark monologuing to Castiel#and we don't see Cas bc Dean is facing away from him and Dean doesn't even know if he's there bc he doesn't speak#explaining to him what's happening and what happened and - most importantly - how Dean feels#and we cut between Dean slowly breaking down into deeper and deeper topics the longer they walk#like starts off usual false-cheery trying to make the best of things Dean and then gets into#why he doesn't feel good enough for cas. why he loves him. how he breaks whenever cas dies. blah blah blah you know the good stuff.#and it's intercut with Sam (and Jack?) talking to Orpheus and maybe Charon or Persephone to establish context for what happens to Dean#and they have a fun and tense little side quest to convince them to let Dean and Cas out#and near the end of the episode. we're with Dean and he's like. 'i wish you'd just say something Cas.'#and then just before the commercial break he starts to hear. 'Dean.'#and Dean is like. I can't turn around. and Cas starts making pained noises and begging Dean to stop and it's all dialogue from other eps.#and dean is like. TREMBLING with the effort of not turning#intercut with dialogue from Orpheus telling Sam that the Empty tried to fool him with Erudice's voice. or at least. he hopes it was a trick#Dean is finally almost at the exit and he's like 'see cas just a bit further!!!!'#and Cas. has gone completely silent. Dean can't even hear footsteps behind him anymore.#and Dean is like. talking now pretty much just to himself.#'I need to have faith that you'll be there for me. because I may not believe in much but I believe in us. I believe in you.#'and you make me believe in me.'#(a little cheesy but fully sincere as most spn dramatic speeches are)#so he gets through. covers his eyes. waits for 10 seconds for cas to definitely have time to come through (a lesson from orpheus perhaps)#and the last thing we see is Dean pulling his hand away from his eyes and a beautiful look of relief. a single joyful man tear.#roll credits#<- PREV#OMG#Can you just apply to be the writer for this episode???

Day 1: Maize / Maze
Dean stumbles in the dark and nearly faceplants into the nearest wall of corn stalks. Swearing under his breath, he dusts off his hands and glances around in case anyone saw.
Nobody did, of course, because he’s in the middle of the Corn Maze, AKA the lamest attraction at the harvest festival.
Dean still felt like a little bit of a shit for giving Sam such crap for finally getting the balls to ask Jess on a date. It was his older brother prerogative to keep Sam’s ego in check, but Dean probably should have made sure they were alone before he got started. 
Next thing he knew, Mom was rounding on Sam, asking if she was coming to dinner after, what her parents were like, if she was the Jess Sam mentioned months ago that he swore to Mom was just a friend.
So when Sammy shot Dean those puppy dog eyes over Jess’s head after twenty minutes of festival games, Dean was all too happy to skedaddle. He left them heading to the Ferris Wheel.
The Corn Maze was on the other side of grounds, so Dean figured that would give Sam enough time to get his gross tween make out on.
But Dean hadn’t factored in that it was a fucking maze, and he’d emptied half his flask while playing third wheel to Sam’s lame G-rated date. Apparently his sense of direction took a nosedive along with his sobriety. Who knew.
He groans, squinting up at the stars overhead. He must be far from the fairgrounds, since the light pollution is minimal, and he can make out the Big Dipper shining clearly above him.
He’d already tried busting out the compass on his phone, but the app did jack shit since Dean had no idea where the exit was. He could make it to the northernmost corner of the maze no problem, though. Super helpful.
Still, he trudges north. At the next fork, he takes a right, trips over something in the dark, and almost falls to the ground again before he catches himself. He scans the immediate area again, in case anyone witnessed his most recent embarrassment. 
But this time, someone is standing just ahead, thankfully not looking in his direction at all.
Dean recognizes that silhouette, the riot of dark hair, the gentle slope of that nose. Hey, it wasn’t like he was going to spend all of chemistry staring at his Bunsen burner, after all.
“Cas!” Dean says loudly in surprise. He subtly runs a hand through his hair to make sure it’s not sticking up in any weird directions from his multiple run-ins with cornstalks.
Castiel Milton, Dean’s current lab partner and president of the astronomy club, jerks around at the sound of his name, his blue eyes widening.
“Hello, Dean,” he says once he’s recovered. “I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“Uh, me neither,” Dean says, ridiculously thankful for the darkness surrounding them that’ll hide his reddening face. Just what he needs, for Cas to see him hopelessly lost and half drunk in a goddamn corn maze. He scrambles for something to talk about, to keep Cas here with him. “Uh, stars, right?”
He’s such a dumbass.
But, to his surprise, Cas smiles. “They’re especially bright tonight. It’s mostly why I came into the corn maze in the first place.”
Dean nods along eagerly. “You gonna use them to navigate your way outta here, I guess, Mr. Astronomy President?”
Cas’s mouth opens and closes without a sound. 
Dean narrows his eyes – is Cas actually blushing?
“I – well, that was what I intended to do,” Cas says in a small voice, “But reading about celestial navigation and actually doing it are, in fact, very different things.” He grimaces. “Can you lead me to the exit, by any chance?”
Dean chuckles. “Dude, I’ve been lost for the past thirty minutes.”
“Oh,” Cas says, his shoulders slumping. 
“But I got something that might help,” he says, reaching into his jacket. Cas blinks owlishly at him as Dean waves his flask in front of his face. “How about it, Space Race?”
Cas swallows. “I suppose it couldn’t hurt,” he says tentatively.
“That’s the spirit,” Dean encourages as Cas takes the flask from him and swigs it back like a pro. “Woah,” Dean says, pinching it out of Cas’s grip. “Who knows how long we’ll be stuck here. Gotta ration the goods, buddy.”
Cas grins. “‘We’?” he echoes.
Dean licks his lips. “Two heads are better than one, right?”
“That is how the saying goes,” Cas says solemnly. He lifts his chin, his eyes scanning the constellations overhead. He sighs wistfully, shivering. 
Well, that is a problem Dean can fix.
He shrugs out of his jacket and drapes it over Cas’s shoulders before Cas can protest. “Seems like you’ve been out here longer than I have.”
“I can’t,” Cas says, biting his lip. “Won’t you get cold?” he asks worriedly.
Dean, warm from the company and the whiskey in his stomach, just winks.
Cas freezes. “We should go this way,” he says, taking off into the darkness, but not before Dean catches the wide smile on his face.
The search party finds them two full hours later, flask empty, lips swollen, lying under Dean’s jacket like a blanket that barely covers them.
After Dean drops off Jess and Cas at their respective homes, Sam wakes Mom up at 1:30 in the goddamn morning to share the news.

Destiel Month, 19 Nov.: Fantasy
"And the baby's okay?" Sam could not believe how much like pulling teeth this conversation was. "Cas?"
deancas ust, au + human cas + real baby jack (offscreen lol), fluff
Sam tried the emergency room lobby first. A whole disheveled Girl Scout troop was there admiring one of the girl's new row of arm stitches. No Dean. He looked in pre-op second, as best he could, and the gift shop and cafeteria third and fourth. The visitor scooping two gallons of mashed potatoes and gravy onto a styrofoam plate at the buffet could have been Dean's spiritual twin, but was not actually Dean.
Where to go eventually dawned on Sam. In the smudgy elevator brass to the third floor he saw his own reflection and took a moment to smooth down his wayward hair.
He shouldn't have bothered, since looking frantic was apparently on trend. The Family Birth Place sitting room featured cozy lamps and fresh cut flower arrangements, and not a single blaring television, and still exuded stress like his bar exam had. Dean's hair looked all right; Cas's hair looked like he'd stuck his finger in a light socket.
"Oh, good, you got my text," Dean said, popping up from a pleather chair to greet Sam. 
"No," Sam said, keeping his tone pleasant, "what I got was an unintelligible string of letters in all caps and then you refusing to answer your phone. I tracked your GPS, saw you were in the hospital, and thought you'd been pancaked on the freeway or something." He paused. "Hi, Cas."
"Hello, Sam." Cas waved but did not stand up. His complexion was the color of abject terror.
"Is everybody all right?" Sam sat heavily in the chair next to him. "Kelly?"
Cas quirked a smile and studied his hands. "She's fine. Her lawyer was here and the first part of the paperwork is done."
Dean sat back down on the other side of him and huffed. "Billie should've had him sign the papers elsewhere."
"Him who?" Sam asked.
"The birth father." Cas glanced over. "He was here for a few minutes."
"Fuckwad," Dean said with feeling. "But at least he's gone. Legal rights severed."
"Wait," Sam said, "the baby's already been delivered?"
"Thirty minutes ago." Dean patted Cas's arm.
"And the baby's okay?" Sam could not believe how much like pulling teeth this conversation was. "Cas?"
"Jack's fine. Healthy. Six pounds, five ounces." Cas's expression was watery. 
And…something else Sam couldn't quite measure.
Dean jumped up from his seat again like he'd been goosed by it. "Is it time?"
The slim woman in turkey-print scrubs he'd addressed said, "It is. Plus, my shift's almost up so all in all the afternoon is improving." She pinned Cas with a look. "Are you ready?"
Dean looked down at Cas. Cas looked up at Dean and shook his head ever so slightly.
"Ah, yeah – can you give us just a minute?" Dean said.
"I'll give you five. It'll be room 518. Just come up to the desk and they'll buzz you in." The nurse exited towards a supply closet.
"What's going on?" Sam asked.
Dean squatted down until he was at eye level with Cas. "Good question."
Cas was studying his hands again. Sam, horrified to see a couple of tears drip onto Cas's wrist, glanced at Dean and Dean shot him back an equally unhappy look.
Dean placed a hand on Cas's knee. "It's gonna be all right," he said quietly. He waited until Cas looked up. "Promise."
Cas shook his head. "This was a stupid fantasy." His voice broke. "I'm not strong enough to do this alone."
"Hey, hey. What're you talking about?" Dean yanked a chair over, sat it in, and grabbed up Cas's hands in his own, lickety-split. "You're not doing this alone."
"I don't mean meeting Jack," Cas said. "I mean all of it."
"So do I," Dean said. "What, you thought you were just gonna take a newborn home and we'd see you again in 18 years?"
"I can't ask you–" Cas started.
"You don't have to," Dean interrupted. "I'm offering." His eyes were intent and fevered; he did not look away for even a second.
Sam bit his lip as he began to understand what was unfolding.
Cas, on the other hand, finally had a face that had color startled into it. "What are you–"
"I could come live with you guys." Dean stopped, like he just realized how big a statement that was. He waited, eyes still on Cas. "I would like to come help."
"For how long?" Cas asked, voice faint. "You have a whole diner to run; I can't ask you to stay forev–"
"Yes, you can. We'll figure it out. Ask. Or don't, but either way I'm saying yes." Dean blinked and took what seemed like a fortifying breath. He looked down.
Sam tracked what Dean was gazing at: Dean's and his best friend's clasped hands. Nothing about the way they gripped each other seemed temporary. He almost let the grin out.
"Shut up, Sammy," Dean said.
Cas looked over and Sam shrugged with pure innocence.
"Okay," Cas said, looking back at Dean. His smile was just as teary as before, but much larger.
Dean smiled soft and steady, and when he rose to his feet he pulled Cas up too. "So let's go meet your kid," he said to him.
And your kid, Dean, Sam thought, and smiled as much as he wanted.

30! Deancas, its cold so cas insists on a scarf instead of his tie
Char I'm so sorry this took a million years to write. Work and life kept me extremely busy, and then this lovely fic kept going in a different direction (which seems like a theme in every prompt I tackled). I really hope you enjoy this one, and have a lovely day :D
#30 - I love you mumbled into a scarf
Dean had his head buried so deep in thought about the impala’s winter maintenance that he almost missed the familiar foot steps breezing past in the garage. His eyebrows pressed together as he pulled his head out of the car. “Cas, buddy, where are you going?”
Cas stopped dead in his tracks, and turned on his heels. “Oh, Dean.” His gaze nervously glanced around the garage. “I didn’t see you there.”
“Are you okay?” Dean leaned against the side of the impala now, and crossed his arms. “You look kinda spooked.”
Cas’ gaze flitted around the car. “Do you happen to have Jack with you?”
“Nah,” Dean answered, scratching the back of his neck. “He went on a grocery run with Sam about a half hour ago.”
“Oh,” Cas exhaled, and visibly relaxed some. “That’s good. He’ll enjoy that greatly.”
“Did you need him?” Dean raised an eyebrow.
“No.”
Dean walked around the car and stopped closer to Cas. “I’m gonna need more than that. What’s up?”
“I need to go Christmas shopping.”
Shaking his head slowly, Dean blinked. “Are….are we celebrating Christmas this year?”
“I’d like to,” Castiel confessed. “I know you and Sam have your own traditions and this is your home, but I’d like to give Jack his first Christmas since….last year he wasn’t here.”
“Oh.” The word tumbled out of Dean’s mouth. He was going to need time to process every verbal hit Cas pummeled him with. In a daze, he pointed at the impala with his thumb. “Do you want a ride?”
“Yes. Yes, of course,” Cas answered genuinely surprised. “Thank you.”
“No problem.” He was still sorting Cas’ words when he found himself opening the impala’s door.
The angel slid into the front passenger seat, and they were off in the direction of the nearest shopping mall. It wasn’t until they hit their second red light that something finally clicked into place in his brain. “Is that why you tend to disappear around the holidays?” Turning, he kept his eyes on Cas long enough to see the twist in his expression.
“Maintaining customs, holiday traditions in this case are incredibly important to humans. I didn’t want to overstep or interfere.”
“You do realize I leave probably a dozen voice mails the closer it gets to Christmas, right?”
“Yeah, it’s quite irritating having my phone going off so often when I’m trying not to take from your time with Sam.”
“Cas,” Dean said exasperatedly. His fingers tightened on the steering wheel, but the blaring honk of the car behind him momentarily cut off his train of thought. When traffic settled so did Dean, “I already get enough of Sammy, and I’m sure he’s more than sick of me too, especially around the holidays.”
“Oh.”
“And yeah, I’ve been wanting you to join us….since forever. Seriously.”
“I’m sorry.”
There was a pained tone in his voice that startled Dean down to his core. He shivered involuntarily. Glancing over at Cas, he saw that the angel had his eyes glued out the window. It bothered Dean not being able to pin down what was bothering Cas. It felt like so much more was hidden in that apology.
Turning back to the road, Dean reached a hand out blindly until it connected with the sleeve of Cas’ coat. “There’s nothing to be that upset about, your heart was in the right place.”
Cas didn’t respond, and Dean didn’t loosen his grip. Instead, he tightened it, but spoke with a note of levity. “And how many times do I gotta tell you that the bunker is your home too?”
“Once more, perhaps?”
Dean could feel the constriction in his chest loosen at the faint smile he could hear in Cas’ voice. He shook his head. “Giving Jack a real first Christmas is a great idea. I can’t believe I didn’t think of it months ago.”
“I think we’ve all been a bit too preoccupied.”
“Yeah.” Dean withdrew his hand and turned the car down the nearest exit. “You’re not wrong.” Basically since Jack was born they’ve been non-stop busy. The past few months in particular were miserable, for all of them.
“I know things aren’t one hundred percent safe with Michael still out there,” Cas started. “But I’m glad that you’ll be home for Christmas. I fear I would’ve ruined Jack’s holiday if you weren’t here.”
“Nah,” Dean argued, feeling his eyebrows pinch together. “My presence shouldn’t make that much of a difference.”
“Dean.” He could feel the angel’s stare sliding under his skin. “I left Jack with Sam so I could chase every whisper, blade, bullet, and trap that might lead to you. And from what I’ve gathered, Sam did much of the same passing Jack off on whoever was willing to keep an eye on him. That wasn’t fair to him, and I’m not proud of my behavior.”
“Hey,” Dean tried cutting through Cas’ frustration with himself. “You had no idea what Sam was gonna do.”
“Jack was never meant to be Sam’s responsibility. I-”
“You did the best you could at the time.” Cas didn’t answer, and Dean couldn’t risk taking his eyes off of traffic in that moment. “I mean it, and besides we’re well past that tunnel now. And we’re gonna give Jack a real Christmas.”
“Thank you.”
Dean hummed in response, and spotted what he was looking for: the sign for the mall. “Don’t tell Sammy, but-” He glanced at Cas’ curious expression. “since we found the bunker, I’ve always wanted to make it look like Christmas threw up all over the place.”
And to Dean’s genuine surprise, Cas laughed. It was happy and light, and when Dean turned for a heartbeat, the image of Cas with his head tilted back was branded into his memory. The corner of his mouth curled into a grin. “After growing up watching every Christmas special imaginable as a replacement for actually celebrating the holiday normally...I think it’s like making up for lost time if we go overboard.”
Another hearty laugh rocked Cas. “Makes logical sense to me.”
“Besides the kid will get a massive kick out of it.”
“I hope so,” Cas muttered, as the car came to a stop in the parking space.
“Oh trust me, he will,” Dean said throwing an arm behind the back of his seat and turning to face the angel. “Soooo….where to first?”
Cas observed their surroundings before letting his stare rest on Dean. “I’m not sure.”
“Well we can just check out whichever store is closest and work our way around. Sound good?”
“Yes,” Cas smiled softly.
Dean’s hand rested on the door handle, but the movement next to him made him pause. He watched Cas dig a hand into his jacket pockets until he pulled out a long, dark blue scarf. “Traded the tie out for a new accessory?”
The angel snapped his hands to his chest in order to hold the scarf tightly. “It’s new,” he said defensively.
“There’s nothing wrong with it,” Dean grinned. “Did you go out of your way to buy something the same exact shade as your favorite tie?”
Cas’ eyes trailed down to the fabric between his fingers. “Maybe,” he answered after a short, meditative pause.
“It’s nice,” Dean said pushing his door open. “I was wondering where the tie was today.” He got out of the car and Cas quickly followed him on the other side.
Cas hooked the scarf behind his neck. “It felt redundant.” His expression quickly twisted in frustration as his hands failed to wrap the scarf in a way that would be comfortable.
“Need some help, buddy?”
The angel’s gaze pierced him like a knife, but that didn’t stop Dean from circling around the impala to stop directly in front of Cas. He held his hands out. “Just let….”
Cas’ hands fell to his sides, and the frustration slowly smoothed out of his face. His gaze locked onto Dean’s.
“-me help.” Dean started wrapping the scarf properly so Cas could duck the lower half of his face out of the chilly, winter air whenever he wanted.
There was something magnetic in Cas’ demeanor. As it circled and grew in his eyes, it filled Dean with a soft warmth that drew him a step closer. His skin burned, but on his brother’s life he couldn’t remember in that moment why he would normally never let himself get this close.
Dean could feel the puffs of Cas’ breath caressing his face, sending goosebumps across every inch of his skin. Despite this, he reached forward and finished laying and puffing the scarf up.
The apples of the angel’s cheek’s appeared pinker when Dean’s gaze slid up from the blue fabric that was still caught between his fingers. Cas’ bottom lip twitched for a second, and then he sunk his face into the scarf.
Thoughts slid back into Dean’s head. Louder than ever. The tips of his fingers clung a little tighter to the scarf. This feeling wasn’t new. Everything that had to do with Castiel, it was like a Gordian Knot. There was too much to sort and untangle. The fragile thing they had was too important to him to destroy completely. The solution was simple and staring him in the face, but he’d been teetering on that decision for a decade now.
Before he could move, a simple vibration resounded up his fingertips. And before Dean could ask what the angel had said, Cas broke the moment.
His hands slowly and shakily unhooked Dean’s grip, lowering them. The scarf slid down Cas’ face as he momentarily glanced around the parking lot. Dean quickly forgot about the brief indescribable look in the angel’s stare, when a glimpse of Cas’ teeth caught his eye.
The tension eased in Cas’ shoulders. He released Dean’s hands with a widening smile. “Let’s go. I’m not sure what would be suitable for a Christmas tree. Any ideas?”
“Yeah,” Dean grinned, losing himself in this new moment. “We’ll have to go elsewhere and grab your truck, but I have several ideas.”
The prompt was from this list. I'm not expecting any more prompts from this one, but if there's one you really want me to try please ask! (and specify the prompt list).

Y yo a ti, Cas -segunda parte. Because of course Mexican Cas pulled us out of despair and can throw us back in.
Ok, so the last 24 hours have been a bit of a rollercoaster and now I have another post to write about how dubbing is made. Because I love Misha a lot, and I respect him but… the whole rouge translator thing just doesn’t jive with reality.
Now, first of all I want to make a disclaimer: I do not believe that there’s a conspiracy to keep Dean closeted and away from Castiel. That makes absolutely no sense, no matter how you slice it. Among other things, conspiracy implies intent, and I really doubt the CW, Warner Bros and everyone involved in the marketing choices cares that much. At most, I think that there was a misunderstanding of marketing/PR and now people are doubling down on trying to pretend it didn’t happen. But a conspiracy? Nope. This isn’t THAT important, and it would require a LOT of people involved to make things work.
Which is precisely why the rouge translator thing doesn’t work. Because you would need a conspiracy to MAKE Destiel canon in order for it to be real.
Second: As I write this, I still don’t have an answer from the voice actors. But rest assured, WHEN they reply (or we can organize a panel so YOU guys can ask directly), I will tell you the absolute truth. If I am wrong with my assumptions, and it WAS a rouge translator, I will let you know, and I will admit I was wrong. And if it was from the audio (say, a Jensen adlib) or the actual script? I will also let you know.
Third: I don’t doubt that Misha REALLY believes the rogue translator thing, if it was told to him by TPTB. There’s no reason to believe he knows how dubbing works in Mexico, nor how many people check the final product. Or that he even watched the episode, instead of believing it was a fan clip. Also, I respect him immensely and I don’t want any hate send his way.
That said, let’s go into how dubbing works, again.
For the sake of argument, I will start with the idea that yes, there was a “Rogue translator” who decided that THIS was the perfect moment to make Destiel canon. Not, say, Season 8 when he could have translated an “I need you” from Dean into an “I love you” when the god tablet thing happened, not in season 12, or during the purgatory prayers. No, the best moment was two episodes before the finale, when he had to know that Cas was not coming back. 
And yes, the translator knew Cas was not coming back because when we translate series, we get them in packages of 5 episodes or more at the time. So they must have had 15x16 to 15x21 (The interview special) all together. So they knew that this was Cas’s exit from the series.
Now, in my previous post I said how in the old times, we used vhs tapes and paper copies of the shooting scripts (when they were available that was not always). Now a days, we get the video file and a word document (if we’re lucky. If not, we make the word file). Translate everything. Go through it AGAIN to make sure the lip sync matches and that we don’t have huge speeches when there’s a small window of time to say the speech because of the language differences. Check that we didn’t accidentally used a slang word that only Mexico would understand. If the show is not PG-13, make sure our swearwords are not too bad or too localized. THEN we send it to the studio, which prints about four copies of the script and hands it,and the video, to the Dub director.
The dub director then goes and re-watches every episode, while checking the script. Some directors don’t speak the language, so they’re just checking cadence, time, and the damned lip sync. (And if you, as a translator, don’t match the lip sync? You are either back to training or out of a word if you get too many strikes). So sure, you could slip a change of line there, IF the director doesn’t speak German, or Japanese, or Hindi.
But almost every single dub director speaks English. So a change from “Don’t do this, Cas” to “And I, you, Cas” would be noticed then and there, and changed to the right line. Which means that, for the rogue translator thing to work, we’d have to add also a rogue dub director.
And honestly, do you see a professional dub director with more than 15 years of experience (because you don’t give a series to a newbie, and Supernatural had the same dub director for all it’s run) risking his job for ONE line?
Anyway, in the times before the plague dub actors were called in groups to the study to record, in order to save audio tracks. So, for example, all the Inner Senshi would record together when doing Sailor Moon, and I assume in Supernatural, Sam and Dean’s lines would also be recorded together, while Dean and Cas might have been or not. Depending on times and so on. So you’d had at least 3 people in the studio: Dean’s VA, the dub director and the sound technician. ALL of them checking what was being said, what was in the script, and listening to the original audio.
Some actors would also make corrections to the script there, making some lines easier to read, and, again, checking those damn lip letters (Can you tell I HATE the lip letter thing?) . I remember fondly the VA for Sailor Jupiter, Araceli de Leon (RIP), who was known as “The Corrector”, since she would go through ALL the scripts for everyone with a red pen. The day I handed a script she didn’t find any corrections, I was jumping out of joy. So if 15x18 was recorded AT the dubbing studio? Someone who knew English could’ve caught the difference between the “Don’t do this” and the “And I you”, making it harder for our rogue translator to go unnoticed.
But let’s say it was recorded post-quarantine, when voice actors work alone at home, in their own private sound studios. I have no idea if they would have the director at hand through zoom, but I assume so. In any case, the VA would STILL have the original audio to know how the lines were said, and after 4 years of dubbing Dean Winchester, I will assume that the VA knows at the very least a little bit of English so if his script said “And I, you Cas” but he heard Jensen say “Don’t do it, Cas”, he would’ve made a correction there.
That’s now two people who would have to ignore the rouge translator’s actions, and even help them, in order for this theory to work.
And then the audio goes back to the director, who checks it again, makes sure it is lip synced and well acted, and sent to the audio technician who mixes it all, and now we have a THIRD person who could’ve said “Hey… uhm… this line? Is not what it says in the original” and by this time, we’d have to have a conspiracy to keep that “And I, you, Cas” in the final product.
Which brings me to person number four: Once the dubbing is done? It’s reviewed by the client (In this case, WB Latam), who gives the final say and CAN ask for redubs if necessary.
Story time. When I was doing this for a living, I got a series that had the WEIRDEST line ever. A line that made me triple check I was hearing things right (because it was a damn adlib that I couldn’t check with the script)
It was: “I’ve been listening to jazz even since I was a sperm swimming in my father’s testicles”.
So yeah.
I was a pro, so I didn’t censor it or change it and send it as it was to the director. Who OF COURSE called me and asked “Are you 100% sure that’s the line?” (This was in Japanese, and he didn’t speak Japanese. He trusted me). And I said “yeah, but if you need to change it, we can find another way to say “I’ve been a Jazz fan since before I was born”. “ He, Jack bless him, said “Nah. If that’s the original, let’s keep the original”.
The client was NOT amused and we had to change it in the final product.
Now, this was a throw away line by a secondary character that never appeared again in the series, in a small scene that probably only I remember. And the client still said “Nope, change that”. I’d like to believe that a line that changes the relationship between two main characters would have the same, if not more, scrutiny from TPTB.
Which makes now four people who would have had to either ignore the actions of the rogue translator, or actively participate in a conspiracy to make Destiel Latam canon.
Which, I dunno about you, sounds like way too much effort for something that was going to last for exactly one second before Cas got sucked into the Empty.
Someone made a mistake? Probably. But I am more willing to bet it was whoever sent the master video file to the studio than the dub studio, if that line wasn’t supposed to be there.

Her Dark Descent Pt.1
So I said a little while ago that I was tempted to share some supernatural fics here, so here’s the newer one! There’s less to copy over, lol. But, yeah, enjoy!
AO3
The group of four kept walking, the trees still seeming to never end. All were exhausted, covered in dirt, blood, and they didn’t want to remember what else.
“Maybe you were lied to. Maybe there is no seam.” Castiel, the angel, brought up again.
“I lie. I don’t get lied to. Aren’t you guys all about faith?” Benny, the vampire, teased.
“Not particularly.”
“Guys, wait.” Grace pointed, as the trees ended, to a leaf. It was being pulled up on it’s branch.
The group looked up; at the top of a cliff, far above them, a patch of blue shimmering light pulsed shifted shape.
“Oh, ye of frigging little faith.” Benny grinned.
“What the hell?” Dean muttered.
“There is it.” Cas turned to the siblings. “It’s reacting to you two.”
Benny nodded to Dean. “All right, you ready?”
“Just like we talked about.” Dean agreed, readying his knife over his arm.
“You sure, Dean?” Grace asked, still unsure.
“Gray, no way am I letting you do this. No offense, Benny.” Dean hissed, cutting his left forearm open.
Benny nodded. “Putting a lot of trust in you, brother.”
“You earned it.” Dean cut Benny’s left forearm the same, the two gripping arms, wounds touching.
“I’ll see you on the other side.” Benny tipped his head to Grace and Dean.
Dean recited the spell, “Conjunti sumus, unum sumus.”
Benny tensed, looking skyward as his body started to glow. It started with his left hand, glowing red and white until his entire body glowed, flowing into Dean’s arm.
He grimaced. “Alright, let’s go.”
The three left ran up the hill, careful to climb so they didn’t lose progress and either get hurt or caught by anything nearby.
“Wait.” Castiel spoke up, almost at the top.
“What?” Grace asked, just as a cloud of black smoke hit the ground on the path in front of them. As the smoke cleared, three black balls of goo turned into Leviathans.
They attacked; Dean and Grace swung at the nearest Leviathans to them, losing a bit of ground as Castiel attempted to use his grace to kill the third. Dean fell back, rolling downhill a little bit, Grace merely falling back. The three Leviathans teamed up against Castiel, hitting and kicking him before Dean and Grace could get up. They managed to get the Leviathans off of Castiel, decapitating them quickly. The siblings reached down, pulling the kneeling Castiel to his feet.
“We got to move! The portal’s closing!” Dean yelled to them, their pace much quicker now.
Just before the portal, Castiel stumbled and fell.
“Cas! Damn it, come on!” Grace yelled, one foot in the portal, same as Dean.
They both reached a hand out.
“Come on!” Dean called.
Castiel grabbed his hand.
“I got you! Hold on!” Dean told him. Grace reached over, grabbing Castiel’s arm.
“Grace!”
“Hold on!” Grace cried.
“Dean” Castiel threw their arms off, figures at the base of the hill behind him. “Go!”
The portal closed and Castiel was gone.
Dean turned, clawing to grab onto his sister, the impossibly bright portal fluttering around them. “Gray!”
“Dean!” Grace reached back, just at the portal split, taking the siblings different ways.
--------------------------------
Grace stumbled out of her portal, crashing to her knees on the dark ground. The portal lit up the area around her, trees as far as she could see once more.
She took a few deep, stuttering breaths, scanning the darkness for anything moving, ears straining to hear anything .
“D-Dean?” She called, praying he wasn’t too far. “Dean!?”
Grace stood, her legs shaking from the aggressive exit. She tightened her grip on her Purgatory weapon, looking up.
“Okay...c’mon Gray, where are you?” She muttered to herself, fighting to remember the astronomy lessons Bobby and the boys had drilled into her head years prior. “If that’s...and that’s…” She mumbled, brain chugging to think. She turned around, facing a different direction. “Let’s try North, why not?”
She walked. She was used to it by now, able to do nothing else in Purgatory.
Well, other than fighting for her life constantly.
It had to have been hours that she walked for, stumbling here and there, but never letting herself fall.
If she had, she wasn’t sure she’d get back up.
Finally, the ground under her near destroyed sneakers changed and Grace focused on the area ahead; the trees had stopped a few feet back, asphalt under her feet now.
Grace let out a sob, shoulders dropping as the reality hit her; she had actually escaped Purgatory. She roughly dried her face with her hand, looking around again, eyes scanning the tree line.
Sure, she had escaped, but where was Dean? Why had Cas just thrown them off? They could have tried to get him out, they could have-
An ear-piercing screech caught her attention, blinding lights screaming towards her. Something hard and heavy hit her, rolling her up onto a windshield, screaming people inside catching her eye before she rolled back off, head hitting the road and everything going dark.
-----------------------------------------
Her nose burned with the scent of chemicals, an incessant beeping in her ear getting louder as she slowly awoke. She blinked, vision blurry as she scanned the bright room.
Where was she?
What was going on?
The door opened and a man in a full blue outfit stepped inside.
“Oh, you’re awake! To be honest, we weren’t sure when we’d see you up.” He smiled, walking closer as he stared at something in his hands. It was solid white, the sound of paper rustling accompanying it.
A clipboard?
“So, I’m sure you have several questions for me, but let me just check your vitals first, okay?” He kept grinning.
She nodded slowly, head pounding as she moved.
The man quietly muttered as he moved around her, checking screens and the like as he scribbled on the papers in his hand.
“Alright, so, what do ya got for me?”
She gently tilted her head, feeling her forehead furrow.
“Do you have any questions, kiddo?”
She moved her head back, trying to think.
“Wh…” Her throat burned, dry and irritated. “Where am I?”
“Well, currently, you are in a hospital room. You’ve been unconscious since the accident, which was about...3 weeks ago. We only just transferred you out of the ICU a few days ago.” His smile was starting to make her feel uneasy.
“W-” She fought for the words she wanted. “Who am I?”
His smile finally dropped.

day one of j&kcreatorfest (with @expectingtofly)— prompts: diner and road trip cas is a human, he goes on a road trip with dean (who secretly loves guy fieri) and they visit jody who is honestly just a third-wheel. (2.4k)
"Can you move more towards my left?"
Cas stares blankly at Dean who is holding a vintage Polaroid camera up to his eyes and frantically gesturing with his other hand indicating which side for the other man to move towards. Blinking rapidly, Cas nervously looks from side to side before planting his feet in a new spot, kicking up dust onto his newly acquired pair of tennis shoes.
"No no, a little bit more to the right now. Just one more step—"
Cas awkwardly takes baby steps while watching Dean, making sure he's on the right track. His legs still getting used to walking again after their non-stop drive from a small town outside of Billings, Montana since earlier that same morning. Dean insisted they get a head start to the first location before the families end up "taking all of the good parking spots".
This is their first solo hunt since Cas became his current human form, something he still isn't entirely confident with yet — and most likely never will be. After giving himself about a month to recuperate and time to get used to his "new" body, it was probably about time to get back into the swing of things again. Hunting, the only sense of prior reality that has continued to follow him into his new life.
It was clear to Dean the change in Cas' demeanor, noticing that he was sulking around the bunker more often (only during the times when he actually leaves his bedroom), and a certain spark he used to have no longer made its presence. Ultimately, it was Sam who suggested the trip, mentioning that a hunter friend of theirs had called to inform them about a vampire infestation near Billings and politely asked for extra support.
Cas insisted that Sam should be the one to take his place, even offering to stay back in the bunker to give it a deep clean it so desperately needed. In standard Dean Winchester fashion, he patted Cas on the back and said that they'd make a mid-summer vacation out of it. Of course, at this point, Cas had no say on the subject and woke up the next morning with a backpack pre-packed ready for him.
"Ah, there! Perfect! Now stay exactly where you are, don't even think about moving a muscle. Hold your breath if you have to."
With no hesitation, Cas sucks in an exaggerated deep breath and inflates his cheeks to keep the oxygen inside his mouth. Dean rolls his eyes behind the camera before pressing the shutter button that lets out an audible CLICK and coinciding blinding light of the flash going off.
Once the polaroid ejects from the camera, Dean pulls it out and gives it a light shake, letting his camera dangle around his neck by its convenient strap.
"Well, that's as good as we're going to get it,” Dean closes the distance between him and Cas, walking up to turn him back around so he's facing the correct side of the landscape.
The two stand next to each other looking off into the vastness of terracotta-colored canyons carved into the earth below them. Cas has to contain every bone in his body from reaching out to grab the hand of Dean's already brushing up against his.
“Here, can you hold onto this?” Dean hands over the undeveloped photo to Cas, who nods and grabs onto it delicately.
They stand in silence for a couple of minutes basking in their panoramic view, the sound of gleefully screaming children and stern parents echoing around them until Cas finally speaks up, "So where exactly are we again Dean?"
Dean gasps in exaggerated surprise, "Badlands National Park in South Dakota Cas, one of the greatest wonders in the United States and possibly even the world. I'm serious. Take a look here—"
Dean pulls out the complimentary map of the park and flips to the back page, "—a man named Frank Lloyd Wright called the badlands an, “inescapable sense of mysterious". Only a badass like him would make a comment like that. Have you been anywhere else in your life this awe-inspiring?"
Cas pauses, "Yes. Galaxy GN-z11 located about 13.4 billion light-years from here."
Dean opens his mouth to say something before shutting it promptly, giving himself more time to formulate a response, "Well. Alright Mr. Showoff, anything else you wanna share with the class?"
"You asked, so I answered," Cas answers in a monotone voice, "I guess, now that I'm a human, it's the second most beautiful thing I've seen."
"Huh. Then what was the first?"
Don't say it. Cas swallows his inner thoughts and shrugs his shoulders, "It's a secret."
Dean shoves Cas playfully to the side and laughs, "Since when have you started keeping secrets from me?"
Cas fakes a laugh in response and lets his head hang down to cover the tinge of a blush creeping across his face.
"I didn't just bring you here for the scenery, does the name sound familiar to you?"
Cas tilts his head to the side in interest, "Name, Dean? What name?"
Dean sighs and shuts his eyes for a second, “Bandlands, like the movie. I made you watch it."
"Oh yes, I do remember. Starring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek as star-crossed murdering lovers," Cas turns his head to look at Dean, "Are you insinuating we're like them?"
"N-no, well—not exactly? I mean, we've both killed...things before but I'm not insinuating we should go on a murdering spree. Unless we come across another pack of vamps. But this is our vacation with no work allowed, you hear me?"
Dean claps at Cas' shoulder, giving it a good squeeze before letting go, "Time to head out buddy, better to get on the road now so we can make it to the Corn Palace before it closes."
Cas stands confused as he watches Dean take off on the path towards the area they parked the Impala, "Corn Palace?"
****
Staring into the sun setting over the horizon in front of him as he drives, Dean reaches into his pocket to pull out his cell phone and holds it up to his ear. He lets his eyes raise to look out the rearview mirror while the phone rings.
"Hey Jody, are you home right now?"
Jody hesitates on the other side of the phone, "Odd question but yes I am. Everything okay?"
"We're about an hour out from your homestead and were wondering if the two of us could bunk over tonight.”
"Of course! You and Sam are always welcome to stay over anytime."
Dean looks over at Cas fast asleep in the passenger seat next to him, a souvenir foam cob of corn hat from the Corn Palace gift shop functioning as a comfortable barrier between his head and the window, “No, it’s uh—Cas and I. Sammy isn't with us.”
"Well, that's a change for once. Regardless, I'll leave the front door unlocked. Just come in and make yourself at home."
"Will do, see you soon. Bye," Dean hangs up the phone and places it back in his lap, absentmindedly tapping his fingers on the steering wheel to pass the remaining driving time.
Once Dean turns down Jody's familiar street corner he calls out into the darkness of the car, "Cas, can you wake up for me? We're almost at our stopping point of the night."
Cas stirs, making a low humming sound but continues to sleep. Dean curses under his breath and turns into Jody's driveway and parks the car, thinking of the best plan to get not only their bags — but Cas — into the house in one piece.
He decides on starting with the bags first, reaching into the backseat area to grab them off of the floorboard carefully as possible without bonking Cas' sleeping body. Holding onto one in each hand, he exits the vehicle without trying to disturb his sleeping passenger.
"Hey there Dean, good to see ya!" Jody leans in for a hug and Dean maneuvers with the bags to give her a proper hug back, "Where's Cas?"
"Dead asleep in the car. I gotta go—" Dean signals towards the door with his thumb, "wrangle him out of there."
"I'll go put these bags in the guest room, take as much time as you need."
Dean walks off back towards the car, formulating a plan in his head. When reaching the car, he slowly opens the passenger side door and Cas instinctively leans away from it, cuddling up against the center console.
"Cas. Hey Cas, we're at Jody's house," Dean leans in to unbuckle Cas from the seat, jostling him enough in hopes of waking him up, "come on now, if you get up now you can go right back to sleep in a comfy bed."
Cas sleepily grumbles and holds out his arms, to which Dean grabs a hold of and pulls him up from the seat. The corn hat in the process toppling off of his head and onto the seat behind him. Dean pulls Cas' arm around his shoulder and locks his arm around his waist for stability, marching with him up towards Jody's house.
Jody holds the front door open for them, giving Dean a sympathetic look, and whispers, "The guest room is the first door on the right."
With the covers already pulled back, Dean plops Cas into the bed and adjusts his legs, pulling the covers up along with, "Good night," he murmurs before walking out of the room and closing the door quietly behind him.
Jody stands in the area between the living room and kitchen stirring a cup of tea, yawning slightly when Dean enters the living room, "I'm gonna head off to bed, there are leftovers in the fridge so help yourself. You look beat."
Dean scratches at the back of his head in exhaustion, "Been a long couple of days. I'm ready to stretch out on this couch and watch the back of my eyelids."
"Oh, you aren't..." Jody points in the general direction of the guest bedroom.
Dean's eyes widen in embarrassment, "No! I-I mean, Cas is in there, and uh, we didn't get time to talk about sleeping arrangements. So. Yeah. The couch."
"Sorry for...insinuating anything—something. There's a basket of blankets for you to pick from in the closet and I'm going to leave you be now. Get some good sleep, Dean."
"You too Jody, see you in the morning," with a slight wave of his hand, Dean awkwardly watches his friend retreat towards her bedroom. He plops down on the couch and sighs, putting his head in his hands.
****
Cas, Dean, and Jody sit at a tiny table located by the kitchen entrance in one of Sioux Falls’ biggest up-in-coming foodie restaurants, Bread & Circus Sandwich Kitchen — thanks to the exposure from being shown on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, one of Dean's favorite shows. The place was packed to the gills, the trio even had to wait for 45 minutes before getting a table. They only got in this soon because Jody managed to bribe the host with her position within the city.
They skim over the menu, making comments on certain dishes before the waiter finally approaches the table, “Hey there, I’m Jeremy. What can I get y’all to eat?”
Without hesitation, Dean speaks up first, “Guy’s fried chicken sandwich and a side of fries for me.”
Jeremy nods and writes down the order on a pad of paper before point his pen in the direction of Jody, “And for you Ms. Mills?”
“Oh Jer, you should know my usual at this point. The curried cauliflower with an extra side of sauce.”
“Perfect perfect…” he nods his head while writing before flashing a smirking smile at Cas, “Last but not least, what are you havin’?”
“Could I get just the standard burger? Oh, and a side of—”, Cas pauses and leans in closer to the menu to read, “—‘Naughty Fries’ please.”
Dean’s eyes narrow at Jeremy’s clear flirting, but he internally thanks his friend for still being so naive to pick up on the implication.
“I’ll go put these orders in, if you need anything else just flag me down,” Jeremy reaches for their menus and Dean takes this opportunity to shove his at the man a little harder than he should. Payback is sweet.
While their food cooks, the group takes this time to do some catching up with each other. Jody asks about how Sam is doing (“He’s trying to grow a beard and he looks like a grizzly bear” says Dean — Cas agrees to this statement), hunter-related gossip, and about their trip so far.
When Jeremy returns with the food, he sets them in front of each coinciding person before wishing them "good eats" and walks away to tend other tables.
"I've been waiting for this moment for months now," Dean licks his lips before holding the sandwich up to his mouth and taking a decent bite of it, letting out a pleasing crunch sound. Within moments his face changes its expression, lips pursing together with food squished in between each.
“You don’t like it, don’t you?” Jody asks, studying Dean’s reaction to his first bite.
Dean nods and reaches for his drink, using it to wash down the rest of the chewed-up sandwich, “It’s...alright. Not as good as I thought though. Guy made it look a lot better.”
“Switch with me,” Cas speaks up.
“What?”
Cas grabs ahold of Dean’s plate and switches it with his own, picking it up right away and taking a bite of it. Jody looks intently between the both of them, choosing to say out of what’s going on before beginning to eat again.
Dean is left staring with his mouth wide open before looking down at the burger now in front of him, “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”
“What do you mean?”
“You ordered a burger because you knew I wouldn’t like the sandwich, right?”
Cas shrugs and continues to eat his new food. Dean shoots a look at Jody to points at the plate in front of him, signaling him to 'eat', which he complies.
Once they're all finished, Jody insists on paying for the food and after arguing at the table, she ends up paying regardless. Wrapping up their conversation, Jody gets a phone call for "official business" leaving the both of them with hugs.
Dean excuses himself to go to the bathroom, telling Cas to go wait for him at the front entrance. Wiping his still-damp hands on his pants, he approaches Cas who is shuffling through complimentary postcards.
"You should get one of those."
Cas jumps and turns to look at Dean, "I can't choose though. Help me?"
Dean grabs one that looks almost like the same part of the badlands they looked out on yesterday, "This one, so you'll never forget."
"I'll never forget this Dean."

Moving On - part 4
Summary: You are moving on from your past and starting a new life with your future as a Winchester
Characters: Reader x Sam Winchester, Dean x Cas, John x Mary, Joy Winchester
Warnings: fluffy Winchesters, swearing
Moving On part 3
Tumblr media
@iamwarrenspeace @mythandmagik    @lieswithoutfairytales   @bbmommy0902  @hailmary-yramliah  @jessyballet @paryl @tcc-gizmachine @vicmc624
The next two weeks in DC were a blur of meetings and packing up the personal belongings you had accumulated over the past 4 years, most belonging to Joy. By the time you were heading to the airport and saying goodbye to your life, you were feeling a bit overwhelmed. It reminded you of your escape from NY but this time with a bit more excitement of the unknown.
Settling in on the plane heading for your new home, you had brought everything you could think of to keep Joy occupied on the 3 hour flight. By the time you touched down and made your way through the airport to baggage claim, your daughter had become a deadweight that you were now carrying along with your other items, you couldn’t imagine never having the support you currently have from Sam.
Then you thought about trying to make this same trek with her if you were further along in your pregnancy and knew you couldn’t do this alone, you consider yourself a strong independent woman, but not nearly strong enough to be a single mother, those women were warriors that you could only aspire to.
Baggage claim was a madhouse and just as you are about to reach out and grab Joy’s car seat, someone moves around you and grabs it right out in front of you. You were too tired for this, and you looked up to yell at the culprit only to see the beautiful hazel eyes of the man you love.
“I thought I told you that you didn’t need to pick us up” you whispered, hoping to not wake your daughter.
He leaned in for a quick kiss, “I know, but I’ve missed my girls, and this way I get an hour just the two of us before getting to my parents house for dinner.”
“Well, I could definitely eat, but I thought you would be in court all day, so I really am surprised to see you” you snuggled into him as best you could before he started to take bags off your shoulders.
“Let me get this stuff, and you hold on to the precious cargo” he smiled down at Joy, rubbing her back and placing a kiss on her forehead before leading you out of the airport.
Tumblr media
By the time all your things were loaded in the car, your daughter was waking up and squealing when she saw Sam. He listened and responded to her the entire way down the highway and only stopped when we reached the Winchester home.
"Babe, I thought we'd be going to your apartment, I could use a shower and nap before dinner with your family" you tell him as you lean over and pull him into a kiss. Whenever you two were apart for any length of time you were always very touchy feely that first day, but even more so when it's been weeks apart.
"Didn't I tell you, I didn't renew my lease, I've been staying here for the time being until we get our own place" he mentions as he exits the car.
"I vaguely remember you mentioned your lease but I thought we had a few more months'' you try your best to smile. You were really hoping for a quiet night in with Sam, but it looks like that's going to be postponed for who knows how long.
Before you even made it to the door, Mary was coming out with a huge smile on her face and pulling you into a hug, “we’ve missed you around here, well I probably missed you the most, there are too many men around here” she whispered before releasing you.
“Nana!” was heard from inside the car as you saw your daughter try to unbuckle and reach her grandmother as soon as possible. You were about to go to her when Mary stepped up, “please let me, I need snuggles with my Joy”.
“By all means, but she slept most of the flight, so she’s going to be full of energy” hoping to warn Mary but by the look on her face, she doesn’t mind at all. The two are running toward the house as you help Sam with your bags from the trunk.
You always loved the Winchester home, large but still inviting, spacious but still cozy, and the fact that every member of the family; immediate and extended; welcomed you with open arms from the beginning was the best feeling.
Growing up in foster care, you never had a home, not for more than a month or two at a time. Then being on your own since you were 15, you never expected to be here now, but it was as if all the years of struggling and trying to find yourself had been worth it to get here.
Becoming a Winchester was something you never knew you always wanted and desperately needed. You can hear Mary and Joy chatting in the kitchen as you make your way upstairs hoping for a bit of relaxation before you become completely exhausted. Sam pulls you into a warm hug before you’re even completely in the room.
Calming any nerves with a kiss to your forehead. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about the apartment, I’ve been working so much trying to catch up so that we could have a nice weekend together as a family now that you are officially moved to Kansas that it completely slipped my mind. What can I do to make it up to you?” looking up at him you could see a glint of mischief in his eyes.
“There’s nothing to make up for, but if you were offering a back rub before my nap, I would greatly accept.” as you reach up and kiss me softly before making your way to the bed to remove your shoes.
“Well, if you insist, but I’m almost certain my world famous backrubs is what got you pregnant the first time” he chuckles as turns towards you.
“Good thing we don’t have that to worry about” and you kiss him again. Snuggling as close as you could to Sam, you fell asleep almost instantly, his arms being your safe place, your home.
Tumblr media
Waking up with a chill, you realized you were now alone and the absence of Sam made the room feel like a freezer. Quickly getting up and showered, you made your way downstairs to find your family.
You smiled watching Joy, curled up in Dean’s lap watching Scooby Doo, both laughing at the same spots, those two had such a great bond.
"There she is, how was your nap?" Mary asked as she entered the living room from the kitchen with Sam following behind.
"Wonderful, thank you. I promise to not disappear on you again" you told her as she pulled you into another hug.
"No need to apologize for allowing me more time with my granddaughter" as she moved towards the sofa and handed Joy a drink.
"Dinner will be ready as soon as John gets home, so I didn't think she needed a snack right now"
"thank you, but I was planning on cooking for y'all tonight" you told her as you and Sam joined them, while Joy and Dean shushed us for interrupting their show.
"Don't worry about that sweety, John is picking up dinner on the way here, we're just happy to have you two back in town"
The Winchesters were always so inviting, you had dreamed of a family like this when you were growing up and now you finally had it.
By the time John had come in with dinner, the tv had been turned off and you were helping your daughter clean up as Castiel came in and greeted you both.
"Unca Cas! I sit wit you" Joy squealed as she ran and hugged his legs.
"I've missed you too, and as long as it's ok with your mom" He crouched down to her eye level before she was throwing her arms around his neck.
"Don't you want to sit with your favorite uncle?" Dean asked as he patted the seat beside him. Joy laughed as she climbed into the seat between them "luv yu unca bean" and blew him a kiss.
"So, Y/N, we are so glad you two are back for a visit, how long do we get to keep you this time?" John asked as you all started eating.
"Well, about this visit, its um" looking at Sam for some help as he just shrugged with that cute smirk on his face. "Sorry, I'm not sure how to say this and I didn't really have a plan but, this isn't a visit" you looked around and everyone seemed a little confused. "We have officially become Kansas residents as of today"
"Oh, that's fantastic!" Mary told you as everyone seemed a bit shocked.
"Were you able to transfer to a local office?" John asked.
"No, actually, I resigned but they call it retiring so they have the option to hire you back when they need the help, but I don't think that will be a concern for many years if ever" you state trying to reassure Sam that this is it for you, for your family to be together.
"I'm happy for you, sweetheart, but that seems a bit sudden. Is something going on?" Dean seemed to be concerned by your sudden change.
Finally Sam spoke up, "yes Dean, something is going on" he smiled down at you. "Y/N wants to move the wedding up and become a Winchester as soon as possible."
You smirk at him and look back at the family, they seem happy but a bit confused. "Sam and I have a little surprise" you tell them as he squeezes your hand "we are expecting"
There was a unified gasp from the table before everyone was congratulating you.
Once the celebration was over it was time to put your daughter to bed, but with a house full of her favorite people you figured you wouldn't be able to do it tonight even if you wanted to. While Mary opted for handling bath time, the rest of you settled down on the patio, the men opting for whiskey to end the night while you stuck with a cup of tea.
"Might I suggest the name Dean, if it's a boy?" Dean told you with a smirk on his face.
"Really?" you asked "you don't want to use the name for your own kids?" Dean looked a little shocked but shook his head almost defeated.
"Come on Dean, you and Cas would make amazing parents, you never thought about it?" you questioned.
"We discussed it but I'm not sure kids are a realistic idea with as much as we work and travel all the time" he shrugged looking defeated.
Noticing Dean give Sam a pointed look, you realize you may have overstepped and decided to drop the subject. “Well, as your sister-in-law, I support any decision you make for your family. You need to do what's right for you"
Tumblr media
The morning was a whirlwind of finding what you needed amongst the bags you had packed and boxes you shipped, but ultimately you were able to get yourself and Joy looking presentable for breakfast with the family. By the time you make it downstairs, John is kissing Mary goodbye and heading towards the door. “Papa wait!” Joy runs full speed and hugs John's legs. “Oh sweetie, I’ll be home tomorrow and we can have a whole day together, how does that sound?” he asks as he leans down to give her a goodbye hug. “Yay, I wan pancakes” as she runs to the kitchen to find her Nana.
“You are working on Saturday? That’s awful” you tell him as he pulls you in for a hug also. “Small little hiccup, I’m hoping to make it back tonight but just in case, I will see you all tomorrow” he waves and is out the door. “So mom, do you think you can keep an eye on your granddaughter for a few hours? I have something I want to show Y/N, and maybe grab lunch in town”
Within the hour the two of you are driving through Lawrence and he’s pointing out all his favorite places growing up before he stops in front of a beautiful two story house on the north end of town.
Tumblr media
“So what do you think?” he asks as he opens the car door for you
“It’s beautiful, but what are we doing here?” you ask.
“Well, I was looking around and found this place, and thought we could have the wedding in the backyard” he tells you with a small grin.
“This is perfect, I wanted something small and intimate, but this is just someone’s house. Why would they rent it to us for our wedding?” you question as you walk around the house to the backyard.
“Well, that was the catch, we can’t rent it, so I bought it” he responds with a look between hope and apprehension.
“You bought a house?” you were shocked to say the least. You weren’t sure if you should be upset that he made such a big decision, but Sam was always one to surprise you.
“Yes, for us, technically it’s not ours until we sign the final closing paperwork on Monday but we need a place of our own and what better way to start our family than in our own home” he pulls you into a hug and you can only respond with a huge smile

We've Got Tonight - Ch 4

Summary: “It’s not your job to do this, Andy. You make people happy. I was in the diner all of ten minutes, and you knew exactly how to get me to smile. You do normal, real things like garden and sing karaoke. Saving the world is my job, Sam’s job. Sometimes it’s even Cas’s job, but it’s not yours.”

Author’s Note: This story is set hazily around season 8. Just squint a little, and it’ll settle in somewhere. I wrote this story after certain big revelations in the show, but before other big ones; you’ll most likely be able to tell which. I play with time a bit in the story itself, so if things seem out of order, they are. Hopefully, by the end, all the pieces will fit together.
What the hell, let’s give it a shot.
EXTRA WARNING: THIS CHAPTER IS THE SOURCE OF MOST OF THE WARNINGS FOR THE STORY. Please don't kill me. THIS IS NOT THE LAST CHAPTER, I PROMISE. It's not over yet. I can't promise you won't hate me when it's over, but I will not leave you here. There's more.

We’ve Got Tonight
Ch 4
Pre-dawn is too damn cold, she decides. She has to visually check that her fingers are actually doing up the buttons to her ragged denim jacket. She lost sensation in her hands a while back, and it’s the only way to make sure they’re actually doing their job. Her jacket is utterly unsuitable for the current temperature, but she doesn’t expect to need it for much longer.
Just before sunrise, Crowley told her.
The sky is already lightening on the horizon, the medium gray more obvious than she would have thought against the stark black, but, then, she’s never had much occasion to be out quite this late before. She’s usually done at the diner by six, singing at the club by ten, and in bed by two at the latest. She hopes Crowley is punctual. She can’t decide if the waiting or the cold is worse.
Except that, yes, she really can. The waiting is definitely worse.
The sound of shifting gravel pulls her out of her thoughts, and she turns to find the King of Hell himself smiling beatifically at her. She shivers, not bothering to search out the source of her discomfort, as she is rather spoiled for choice at the moment. She’s out in the freezing dark, about to hand over her life and soul to a demon because deranged cultists got it into their heads that they should use her blood to start an apocalypse (and who knew there was more than one of those outside of Sunnydale, seriously).
Shivering is probably the most rational reaction she’s had in a while.
“Hello, darling. Pleasant evening with the boys?”
He’s got more sass in one off-the cuff remark than she has in her entire history, and for a moment she can only marvel at the affected innocence in his expression. It's almost convincing. She opts to remain silent rather than take his bait. He smirks, the expression natural and only a touch derisive.
“No surprises, then? No sidekicks to save you at the last minute from the bad, bad demon?”
“I thought the torture didn’t start until after you kill me,” she sighs, hugging her arms tighter around herself, a futile attempt to ward off the chill. Maybe she’s got a little spark in her, after all. He laughs, a friendly, personable chuckle that would set anyone else at ease, reassure them of his honorable, benign intentions.
“Come on, Crowley, what's the hold up? I was here on time. Can we just get this over with already? I could have gotten one more round in with Dean if we were just going to stand around, shootin’ the breeze.”
Even watching for it, she can only just see the tick in Crowley's jaw, the slightest tension that betrays...something. She doesn't know what or why, but Crowley has more than a little unhealthy obsession with the elder Winchester brother, and she is pleased she managed to crack his veneer even for the briefest moment.
At least I don't have to worry about Dean, Andy thinks, relief creeping into the sea of dread that is her stomach. Her deal with Crowley was not only about stopping the apocalypse but also keeping Sam and Dean and even Castiel safe.
“Once you're gone, I won’t harm a hair on their precious heads, nor any other part of them,” he swore to her a mere eighteen hours earlier.
“I’m hurt you don't find my company more pleasant, love,” he murmurs, taking a couple of steps closer. He slides his hands in his coat pockets, the very picture of nonchalance. “I do try my best to be cordial, even congenial, after all. But since you’re so very uncomfortable, I suppose you won't object, then, that I took the liberty of inviting a few friends whose company you seem to prefer. What a lovely party we’ll have when they get here.”
As if he’s summoned them, a pair of lights appear in the distance, growing larger with every passing moment. Headlights, she realizes; a second later, she hears the distinctive roaring of a very particular car engine, and before she can turn back to Crowley, the Impala leaps out of the darkness, skidding across the hard-packed dirt road, coming to a halt bare inches from the demon’s impeccably shined shoes.
Andy stumbles back, choking in the cloud of dust the car kicks up, only to hit something solid. Impossibly strong fingers dig into her chin, lifting her face out and away as cold, thin metal is pressed to the side of her neck, and only now does she freeze.
“Let her go, Crowley,” Dean growls, his gun drawn and aimed even before he exits the car. “This isn't her fight, and you know it!” On the other side, Sam and Castiel climb out, Sam drawing his gun and moving to flank the demon.
“I do heartily protest, sir,” Crowley says, his tone mild and conversational. The blade digs in ever so slightly under her ear, and a thin trickle of warmth slides down her skin to soak into her collar. Dean doesn't flinch, but his eyes narrow, and he readjusts his aim.
“Not only is the lady at the epicenter of this fight, she's gone and made herself the brightest star in the show. Ask her yourself, if you don’t believe me.”
“How-” she manages through fear-numbed vocal cords. Dean should be unconscious, snoring blissfully away in his bed where she left him. She made sure to leave no sort of trail they could follow, and she checked that they were all asleep or otherwise occupied before she took off.
“I wasn’t asleep, Andy,” Dean replies, leveling his gun at Crowley. “And I’ve been tracking since I was seven. Gimme some credit.”
“I wouldn't do that, if I were you, Moose.” Crowley’s words freeze Sam in his tracks, and the blade on Andy’s neck digs in a little deeper. The flow of warmth down her neck widens just a touch. The sheer smugness in Crowley’s tone sets her teeth on edge, breaking through her stupor, and she grabs the hand with the knife, pulling at it with all her might. She, of course, doesn’t make a dent in the demonic strength, but she’s got to try something.
If you asked her later, Andy would swear to you that the searing pain that drags along her neck parallel to her jaw line right then is pure Hellfire. Deep down in the darkest recesses of her mind where all the worst truths lurk, she knows she’s feeling the bite from Crowley’s knife, but in that instant all she is aware of is the agony of the wound, of Dean’s enraged roar, and the juxtaposition of Crowley’s gentle touch pressing her own fingers to something hot and slippery under her jaw.
“Hold pressure there, sweetheart, or you’ll bleed out too soon. Wouldn’t want you to miss the finale.”
Her knees buckle, and she drops, but somehow she stays upright long enough to see Crowley’s demons approach out of the darkness. She tries to warn the boys, but time moves with a dreamlike lethargy that betrays every one of her good intentions, and, anyway, her voice doesn’t seem to be working at the moment. The roar of gunfire all around her sounds faint in comparison to the rushing in her ears, and she is powerless to stop Crowley’s plans from reaching fruition.
“You...said...you wouldn’t...”
“Well, pet, you aren’t dead yet, are you? I’ve got, what, at least another three minutes before you snuff it, by my count. Plenty of time to conclude my business with the Winchesters and their featherbrained friend before you expire.”
Though he was right behind her only a moment ago, Crowley appears abruptly next to Castiel, who at the moment is distracted by two lesser demons both wielding machetes. She realizes as she watches Cas easily fend them off that they, just like Andy, are only a distraction, only bait to tempt the bigger players to overextend themselves.
Too late, she sees the perfection of Crowley’s plan. In all the confusion, she loses track of Sam, and she wrenches her eyes away from Dean’s staggering form only to watch as the angel blade in Crowley’s hand bursts through Castiel’s chest. Then her gentle, confused friend is gone in a flash. The demons vanish, and she can’t find Sam or Dean, can’t reach them, can’t make her voice work to call out.
The quiet is wrong, so out of place after the violent cacophony. The roaring is gone, the gunfire silenced, and all that’s left is a terrible wheezing, gurgling sound that takes her too long to recognize as her own labored breathing.
“Crow...ley…”
“I’m here, darling. What do you need?”
“Lying...bastard…”
“Now, now, sweetheart, are those really what you want your last words to be?” He lifts her easily from the ground, carrying her the few yards to where Dean lies sprawled in the dusty gravel. His shirt is stained black in the retreating darkness, and Andy can only be thankful that she won’t make it to sunrise to see what exact shade of red is spreading over him. Dean’s far hand scrabbles on the ground, stopping its frantic search only when it finds his brother’s.
Sam’s still form doesn’t return his brother’s grip.
“After all, I’ve done you a favor; I didn’t have to give you the opportunity to say good-bye. I can’t promise you adjoining cells, but I’m sure your torture will coincide with his occasionally,” Crowley continues conversationally, “so, really, the two of you should be thanking me that you’ll at least get occasional visiting privileges. It pays to be on good terms with the king, after all. And, who knows? After a couple hundred years of good behavior, I might even be persuaded to-”
“Why?” It’s all she can manage as he lays her on the ground. Dean reaches for her with his free hand, and she is just able to find his fingers. Their eyes meet, but her vision is blurring as breathing gets tougher, and she can’t see what he’s mouthing to her. Even his eyes, such a luminescent green only hours ago, are fading into the remaining dark of the night.
“The Winchesters, dear, it’s always been about the Winchesters. Oh, the fanatics and their doomsday ritual were real enough, as was your blood. I just simply took advantage of the situation, as any intelligent monarch would do. Settled things with the apocalypse groupies, rid myself of some major pains in my rear, and now I get you, to boot! I do love when a plan comes together.”
Dean’s fingers tighten in hers, and she tries to grip his back, but the harder she holds on, the less she can feel him.
She’s not really feeling much of anything but cold now.
“Shut...up...already.”
“Always ungrateful in the end, even after everything I do for them,” Crowley grumbles from above her. But then he does shut up, and she finally feels something besides the cold.
Relief. ...

“Fuck…” Dean groaned. His voice rough and hoarse.
Y/N and Dean were wanting to try something Dean was curious with. She managed to get her hands on a strap on dildo. Long enough to reach all of his pleasure spots with little effort.
Her thrusts were slow and calculated, giving him a slow burn.
“Look at you all fucked out and ready to pop.” She says lowly, fucking into him slow and steady.
“More babe, please.” Dean begged. He began to reach for his aching cock, red and hard, he was ready to pop. She swatted his hand away. He groaned moving his hand away back over his head.
“Now, now babe, no touchy, I want to see if we can get you coming without touching it.”
“God, I can’t…”
“Yes you can babe, I can tell you’re close.”
With a few thrusts, she leaned in close, kissing softly on his neck by his pulse point. Her hips thrusting in and out slowly.
His breathing began to pick up, her kisses marking him up.
His back arched, and his cock twitched spilling out on to his stomach as he came groaning her name. His eyes rolling in the back of his head.
She slowed her thrusts, stilling inside him until he calmed down. She then slowly pulled out, causing him to sigh out at the loss of feeling her inside him.
“You good babe?” she asked, lying beside him.
“So good.” He says, wrapping an arm around her.
“Think you’ll be up for our next thing we wanted to do?”
“Oh I’m sure babe, I’m gonna fuck you up so good you’ll feel it for weeks.” He growled. Rolling her on her back, kissing her neck.
“Unless you got more in you for one more round?”
“No more pegging for me, I just want this. You, me, cuddling.”
“I can live with that.”
After a very uneventful day the next day, the couple was even more horny than they were the night before.
They didn’t waste time in working each other up.
She grabbed the p-spot vibrator, lubing it up for him as he found a hard time taking his lips off of her neck and shoulder. Making her giggle.
“If this works like last night with me pegging you, you’ll be coming hard.” She hums.
“Then I’ll be filling you up so full, you’ll be having kids for days.”
“Not how it works but I am ovulating, and we’ve been trying lately.”
“You think it’ll work though?”
“Not sure, but it wouldn’t hurt to try.” She says. Turning to him holding up the vibrator.
“I trust you.” He says.
“Bed.” She says with a sexy smirk.
Dean walks over to the bed, bending over giving her access to his rear.
Teasing his hole with the tip of the vibrator, earning a moan out of him.
With as much lube as she put on it, it slipped in with little resistance. And she turned it on.
His hips buck at the sensation.
“Oh, fucking, fuck that…” he says, with a moan.
She places a loving kiss by his jawline, peppering kisses up to his lips.
She could see his fan fiction green eyes darken with lust when her eyes met his.
She began crawling up backwards on the bed, her head meeting the pillow.
His eyes hungry when she opened her legs up to him.
“Fuck me baby, fill me up so full people can see it for days.”
“Oh I’ll fill you up alright.” He growls.
He crawls up the bed, his hips line up with hers. He runs his tip between her folds, teasing her, her hips grind up against his cock.
And he begins to enter her slowly stretching her to his girth. The vibration changing up a pattern, causing his hips to buck into her unexpectedly.
A soft groan escaped his throat.
“Think you can last babe?” she says, cocking an eyebrow at him.
Silently, he looks up at her the hungry look still in his eyes. He pulls out almost all the way and thrusts back in, his hip slamming against hers.
But instead of jumping into a rough and fast rhythm, he gives her the same treatment she gave him the other night. Slow burn. Slow and steady thrusts.
“Oh, I hear you.” She groans.
“Think you can last sweetheart?” he asks with a smirk.
“Not fair.” She groans as her hips grind against his trying to find a rhythm.
He holds a firm grip against her hips, holding her still. Earning a hungry growl from her.
“Oh, my girl is so impatient, don’t worry. You’ll get what you want when it comes.” He says.
His hips begin to shudder as the vibration slowly messages his prostate, causing his breath to hitch in the back of his throat.
“You gonna come big boy?”
His climax his him like a ton of bricks, nearly collapsing on top of her.
“Yep.” He grunts. And begins a slow rhythm again once his climax calmed.
“You’re going to slow for me…” she says, pushing him down to his back. He landed with a grunt.
“Oh come on, I was having fun.”
“You’ll get more soon babe.”
She begins riding him at a fast enough pace she could keep up as best as she could. His hips met with her thrust, building her up in no time.
“De,” she pants, a burning  hot coil build in intensity in her abdomen.
“You got it babe,” he says, his hips slammed into her as the vibrations worked him up again.
Her walls slammed around him with no warning as her climax hit her hard. Her hips spasm out of control.
He kept a firm grip on her hips, helping her up and down his length. Giving him a few thrusts before he came hard, spilling thick ropes of come coating her walls. His hips stilled against her with his back arched, making his toes curl.
“Fuck!” he groans.
“Oh, that was hot babe.” She pants.
“You’re hot too babe.”
She giggles.
“Got more in you?”
“Oh yeah babe, I bet you’ll be coming dry by the time I’m done with you.”
He pulls her off of him, laying her down next to him. She grabs a pillow to lay on, making herself comfortable.
“Go rough babe, let loose.” She encouraged.
He slammed back into her without resistance and began a rough and fast pace.
Taking periods of slow thrusts and speeding up with reckless intent, her legs shake and quiver as he hits all of the right spots.
The vibrations picked up once again.
“Ah! Fuck,” He growled. Pounding into her faster, to meet up with the vibrations.
“Oh god, Dean, faster, faster.”
He manages to meet her demands, all while meeting his needs. Reaching his end as it slams him hard. Earning a yell out of Dean, as his hips shudder against her. Her walls clamping around him at the same moment, milking him of every last drop.
They laid like that for a solid moment as they calmed down, panting hard.
“You okay there Dean? Never heard you scream or yell during sex before.”
“So good.” He pants.
His hips begin to slowly grind against her.
“Dude, you got the stamina of a teenager.”
“Lets just see what my limit is huh? I don’t want this to end just yet.” He says.
“Then lets spoon a little bit babe, let you relax.”
His arms wrap around her, as he laid further down onto her, kissing her neck with his hips just grinding against her. The two humming contently.
With his grinding still going on, he began moaning and whining against her.
“Dean, don’t push yourself,” she pants.
“I’m gonna,” he grunts as his hips studder to a stop after just ten minutes of grinding, the vibrator still working on his prostate.
She could feel his cock twitch inside her, but not feeling anymore of his release.
His grip around her tightened as his climax continued.
His head was buried in the crook of her neck. She could hear a small whine escape his lips.
“I can’t…”
“Dean, pull out, I’ll get the vibrator out now.”
He slowly pulled out, his hips jerking as the vibrator continued its assault. She managed to crawl out from under him, reaching around him to pull out the vibrator, turning it off quickly.
Dean maneuvered over to lay on his back, panting hard. His face covered with sweat.
“Dean, you okay, really?”
“Okay, that was too much.” He chuckles.
She quickly got up, immediately feeling his release escape down her thigh.
She got to the freezer, grabbing a Ziplock bag from the pantry filling it with ice. Then grabbing a hand towel wrapping the ice bag in the towel and returning to Dean. Placing the ice pack on his member under the blanket.
He let out a relieved sigh.
She laid next to him, holding close to him giving him a loving kiss on his cheek.
“Sorry babe, I didn’t mean to push you.”
“You didn’t push me, I pushed me, and sure it hurts now but damn it felt good. I don’t think I’ve come that many times back to back like that.”
“Think you’ll use that thing again if we do this again?”
“Fuck yeah, but I’ll listen to my body next time and not push it.”
“Yeah, I’ll say.” She chuckles.
 Two months later…
She’d come out of the hospital bathroom with a groan.
That’s the third time this week she’s thrown up. She’s even thrown up a few times the week before but they all had a pattern.
“Whoa, kid you okay?” Bobby asks when he saw her return to the nurses station.
“Just, not feeling the best at the moment.” She says, not wanting to say for sure. Even if her training tells her she knows what’s wrong.
“Hey girl---friend, what is wrong with you today, you look awful?” Meg asks.
“Meg, can you get me Rowena, I need someone to perform a pregnancy test for me?”
“You think you might be…”
“Yes I might be, can you please…” she begged.
“Sure thing, just sit tight, I’ll be right back.”
 Moments later, after peeing in a cup, Rowena had come back with the results.
“Congrats, someone is expecting!”
“Seriously!” Meg and Y/N asked in excitement.
“You and Dean are wanting kids right?” Bobby asked.
“Yeah, I know we’re not married an all but, I’m in no hurry for a wedding. And I’m ready for kids. Dean’s been having kid fever lately.”
“Shouldn’t it be the girls that have the kid fever?” Meg asked.
“Oh, believe me, I hit kid fever. And it has not let up. I just wonder how Tremor will be for when I do have kids and bring them home?”
“Just got to keep them on a leash, but Bassets are really good with kids.” Rowena says.
An alarm in the nurses station goes off.
“What’s that?” Y/N asks.
“Well ever since that earthquake, we had another radio in the station, something from the USGS. It warns us if there’s been an earthquake. And it looks like a small one just outside of here. Nothing major.” Bobby explained.
“So, Bobby, your last day is tomorrow, what are you gonna do once you retire?” Meg asked.
“Just relax at home with the wife.”
“How is Ellen by the way?” Rowena asked.
“She’s doing good. She’s still working hard at the school. She loves being the principal there. Jo hates it as usual.”
“Yeah, I bet the bullying is rough on her as well.” Y/N says.
“Not really, there were these boys that were picking on her. So, Ellen put them all in detention. Jo for fighting, and the boys for bullying.”
“Nice.” Meg comments.
Moments later an ambulances siren cuts the staff out of their conversation and back to work.
The victims on the stretchers had some serious injuries but their equipment stuck out.
“Wait, where are they from?”
“They were out hiking, a small quake hit.” Said the EMT.
“We were exploring this cool cave, used to be an old gold mine. Then it started to cave in on us.” One of the hikers said in the stretcher.
“Were there more people?” Y/N asked.
“Yes, we had a whole party going through.” The victim said.
“Another squad responded shortly after that small quake, and they went in to rescue some.” Said another EMT.
Her heart dropped at the information.
“What squad?” she dared to ask.
“Squad 51.”
The color drained from her face.
 “Dean, we’re trapped.” Cas says, holding the bleeding on one of the hikers.
“I see that Cas, but this used to be an old Mine, there has to be another entrance or exit somewhere.”
“There’s an couple of exits according to this old map of the mine.” A hiker said, pointing at a map at an intersection in the mine.
Dean went to investigate.
“Closest one is not far from here. I’ll scout ahead to see if it’s safe. If it’s not, we’ll try our hand with these two.” Dean explains.
He goes down one of the paths, turning to the left walking right into a wall of rocks.
“Well, that answers that.” He mutters.
Shit. We’re really trapped down here. He thought.
He heads back to the others.
“Caved in?” Cas asked.
“Caved in.”
“Dean, he’s gonna bleed out if we don’t get him help.”
“You don’t think I know that!”
“Guys!” one of the hikers broke them up.
They heard drilling on the other side.
“They’re gonna try to get us out this way?” the other hiker asked.
The room only had three hikers, one bleeding out, Cas was doing his best to slow the bleeding. The other two hikers were just dirty with a few cuts that Dean managed to clean up and bandage them.
There was a light rumble, some rocks falling from the cave ceiling.
“Oh fuck, this won’t work.” Dean says.
“Why not?” one hiker asked.
“Well, assuming the exits are closed up, whether their caved in or doors of some kind that are shut. And this being the only entrance is sealed shut. Pressure builds up inside of here. They release all that pressure…”
“Explosion?”
Dean nods.
“Either that or this whole mine will collapse. Which ever happens first.”
“Do they know that?”
“I don’t think so.”
 Y/N managed to convince Bobby that she could be of assistance at the mine the hikers were trapped in.
She parked her car near the engine, John couldn’t help but roll her eyes but deep down knew she was just as worried as he was.
“Any word yet on Dean?”
“Nothing yet.”
“John.”
“What?”
“I’m pregnant.”
He gasped. “You’re, how far along?”
“I don’t know, a few months.”
A soft smile spread across his face.
“I’m gonna be a granddad.” He says.
She smiled, tearing up.
“Lets get Dean home.”
“We’re working on it.”
“Wait, are they drilling them out?”
“Yeah, why?”
“John, have you heard of the movie Daylight?”
“Yeah…”
“Think of this as that situation.”
He thought for a moment.
“Oxygen in still a gas, so’s carbon dioxide. A build up of that, and a sudden release…”
“Stop drilling right now!” John ordered.
“What do you mean Winchester?”
“You can cause a whole collapse of the mine, you’re gonna release all the pressure building up in there.”
“What pressure?”
Y/N pressed past John.
“O2 and C02 is still a gas. You’ll be releasing all that gas build up assuming all entrances and exits are sealed shut.”
“Stop drilling!” the captain of the man operating the drill ordered.
The drill pulling away from the rock wall and shutting off.
“Do you have a map of the mine?” Y/N asked.
“One here, why?”
“They’re going to have to find their way out. Hopefully none of the other exits are caved in.”
“John, do you have a radio?”
“Y/N the further in the mine they go…”
“I know John but as long as their on this level I can reach him.”
 “Dean, if your suggesting us moving, how can I move all while keeping pressure on the injury?” Cas asked.
Dean shrugged giving the injury a look to see what Cas could do.
“Dean?” He heard a familiar voice on the radio.
“Y/N? What are you doing here?”
“Helping.” He could hear her smug smile. He couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Babe, do you have a plan?” Y/N asked.
“I want us to see about the other exits but we have a victim bleeding, an artery has been severed.”
“Where at?”
“Right side of his abdomen.”
“Do you have anything to sanitize your hands?”
“Yeah, what do you have in mind?”
“Someone has to clench the artery shut as best as they can, and it is not gonna be pretty.”
“Wait, is she suggesting I stick my hand in the wound?” Cas asked.
“I think so.” Dean says.
“I’ll do it, he’s my brother.” A hiker said.
“Okay, here, use this sanitizer.” Dean says, handing it to him.
“Wash really well.” He adds.
“Dean.”
“We’re working on it.”
“Okay.” The hiker says.
“Okay we’re ready.” Dean says.
“Okay, now, it’s gonna cause him or her a lot of pain, give him or her something to bite on.”
Dean hands him a leather strap. Cas helping him put it in his mouth.
“Think like your pinching a hole shut, find the hole and pinch lightly. Don’t pinch to hard, we just want to stop him from bleeding out.” She instructed.
The hiker did as he was asked.
“What’s your name?” Dean asked him.
“Ben.”
“And your brother?”
“Kaden.”
“Okay, Kaden, you’re gonna be alright. Ben’s just gonna plug the hole.”
Kaden, though wincing and writhing in pain as his brother slowly pushed his fingers into his side, nodded. He let out a strangled yell as his brother continued.
“I think…”
“Trust me it’ll feel different, it’s not like other veins, it’s harder.” Y/N explained.
“Found it!” he says.
“Okay, we got it.” Dean says.
“Okay, you or Cas who ever has him, and do you have someone else in there with you?” Y/N asked.
“There’s two other hikers, they’re fine. The victim and the one hiker are blood relatives. A hiker has his hand in his brother’s side.” Dean communicates to her.
“Okay, then you or the other hiker need to help Cas carry him.”
“She’s a keeper Dean.” Cas comments.
Dean smirks. His girl just loves showing off her skills.
“Okay, what exits are good, do you know yet?”
“There’s one to my left that’s caved in.”
 “Okay, its most like that one.” Y/N says pointing to it on the blueprinted map.
“The one that goes straight ahead goes down, up and around in the mine. The exit looks like Shallow Lake.” Said one of the captains.
“Okay, what about that one?”
“Looks like that path…goes down a ways but splits off into two different parts of the mine. One that caused it to shut down, that vein of the mine is too unstable. And the other path…they look like they never finished. Must have stopped shortly after it shut down.”
“Okay,” she goes. “Dean, go straight and tell me if it’s caved in or not.”
“Okay, going straight ahead.”
 They begin walking down the path, seeing it continuing for a while.
“Looks clear.” Dean begins.
A strangled noise could be heard.
“He’s seizing!” Cas warns.
“He must be going into shock, get his legs up, lets lay him down.” Dean orders.
“Kaden, hang on bro please, hang on!” his brother pleaded.
“He’s turning blue, starting CPR.” Dean says. “Keep your hand in there.”
He grabs his radio.
“Y/N, victim seized due to shock, and is not breathing, starting CPR.”
Dean began doing chest compressions.
 “Why would he be seizing now? Unless he’s lost a lot of blood earlier on?” Y/N wondered.
“Dean, be sure to still apply pressure to the wound.”
“Dean says he knows, and has Cas doing it.” she heard a voice on the radio say. Didn’t belong to Dean or Cas.
 “Shit, Dean, the cut went through, I’m just now seeing it.” Cas says, seeing a cut that was on his back.
“Fuck, that’s why he’s in shock so quickly, lets patch that up, keep pressure.” Dean says as he continues chest compressions before moving on to mouth to mouth.
Cas began working on the wound as best as he could.
“My hand is cramping really bad.”
“I know it is kid, just got to hang in there. It will be the only thing keeping him alive.” Dean says, going back to chest compressions.
Dean checks for breathing after completing a number of chest compressions and mouth to mouth.
“He’s breathing.” Dean sighs. Everyone taking a sigh of relieve.
“Okay, got the wound closed up.”
“Keep pressure, lets keep moving.” Dean says.
“Here you go.” Said the hiker.”
“Thanks kid, what’s your name.”
“Jesse.”
“Thanks Jesse.” Dean says.
“Y/N, we got him back.”
 Everyone at the truck surrounding the map sighed with relief.
“That’s my man.” She sighs.
“Way to go Dean, keep going what do you see?”
“A path leading down, and I see a drop off.”
“Okay, find where their at, a drop off, what?” Y/N says.
“Here, pockets of water, it’s normal. Just tell him to be careful, we want them to avoid hypothermia.”
“Dean, just be careful, could be a pocket of water.”
“10-4”
 They continued down, seeing the drop off. Jesse taking the plunge.
“It’s about a 3 foot drop, it’s not bad.” He says.
Dean jumps down next.
“Okay, hang on, we can’t risk losing Kaden again. Cas, you and Ben sit up there with Kaden, Jesse and I will continue up.”
“Gotchya, be careful Dean.”
“I will.” He says. “Come on Jesse let’s go.”
He grabs his radio to check.
“Y/N, do you copy?”
Nothing but static. He could hear Y/N trying to come through the noise but not very audible.
“Shit, I guess we’re too far down…hang on.” Dean says, running back. Climbing back up.
“What are you doing?” Cas asks.
“Y/N do you copy?”
“I do now, Dean, what’s your plan now?”
“Radio silence, Cas is staying back with the victim. Me and the other hiker are continuing forward.”
“Okay, what’s the status of the victim before you leave.”
Cas grabs the radio.
“He’s stable now, we had found another deep cut, possibly an exit wound like he was impaled by something.”
“Okay, keep pressure and keep his legs up. Do what you can okay?”
“10-4 Y/N.”
“Is she a nurse or something?” Ben asks.
“Yeah, an RN at Rampart Emergency.”
“Cool.”
Dean takes the radio.
“Babe, I’ll see you on the other side.”
“Okay, and babe, to add further drive, I’m pregnant.”
Dean almost drops the radio.
“Wh-what, Really?”
“Yes, really, your gonna be a dad. Now please be sure you make it out of there in one piece.”
“I promise babe, I’ll be okay. I love you.”
“Love you too, now lets get these hikers out of there.”
“10-4, out.”
“Out.”
 Y/N sat there, waiting anxiously. It didn’t take long for her to begin pacing.
“Y/N, please, settle down, he’s gonna be okay.”
“It’s been too long John; he has to be out about now.”
“Where’d you say that exit leads too?” Gabe asks. not taking it anymore.
“Down by Shallow Lake why?”
“There’s not an exit there, but an old shut down entrance. Could it be by another lake that’s farther out?”
“I’m sure it says Shallow lake.”
“I’m gonna scout up there, Michael, come with me.” Gabe says.
“Stay safe, take a walkie.” John ordered, tossing them one. Gabe catching it gracefully. Gabe and Michael jogging over the mountain path to the lake to see if they can find their friend.
Y/N stood by her car, her toe tapping against the damp forest ground.
Come on Dean. She prayed.
“Y/N.” She heard on the radio.
Dean’s voice causing her to jump, she nearly dropped the radio.
“Dean, where are you?”
“Look behind you.”
She turned around seeing Dean with a boy in his late teens walking beside him.
“Gabe, Michael come back, he’s here.” Y/N communicated on the radio.
“Damn that was fast.” Gabe says. Y/N rolling her eyes, but blinking the tears away. She starts her way to Dean.
Despite him being dirty, and looking fine, no cuts of any kind anywhere, she jumped up into his arms. Crying against him, hiding her face in the crook of his neck.
“Shh, I’m here baby, I’m here.”
“I’m so happy you’re okay.” She cries.
He plants a kiss on her cheek, as he continues to console her.
“Shh, I’m okay, everything’s okay.”
She says nothing further, but holds him close as the other firefighters and EMT’s follow his path to head in the mines and rescue Kaden and Ben.
 Four months later…
Y/N got off from her shift at the hospital to find Dean at home working on the Impala.
“Dean? What are you doing home?”
“Oh, you didn’t hear I transferred.”
“You…You don’t work at Station 51 anymore?”
“Nope, see you being pregnant had me thinking. I want this kid to grow up with a dad. I don’t him or her worrying if daddy’s coming home, or is daddy safe, whatever it may be.”
She had a big grin on her face when he assumed the baby’s gender.
“So, I transferred, to Rampart hospital. I’m gonna be one of your EMT’s.”
“Oh my god, that’s awesome honey!”
“Yeah, you get to see me as much as you want, and I don’t have to run into fires all the time.”
She laughs. “That’s awesome honey, I’m so happy for you.”
“I knew you would.”
“Also honey, it’s both.”
“What?”
“You said, him or her, it’s actually both.”
“Both…what do you mean both?”
Her grin growing wider.
“Wait, you had your appointment today didn’t you?”
She gave him a nod.
“Are, are you saying…we’re having twins?”
“That is exactly what I’m saying. A boy. And a girl. Twins.”
He mimicked the same grin as he picked her up in his arms.
“I knew it would work.”
“Dean, I have six sets of twins in my family.”
“Or Genetics was on my side.” He adds.
Y/N cackling in laughter.
“I also have something for you, it’s in our room, so if you could just follow me.” He says, taking off into the house ahead of her.
“Dean, your pregnant girlfriend can only move so fast!”
She tries to hurry to follow him only to find him in their room on one knee.
Her heart beating hard against her chest.
“I want to spend forever with you, grow the most amazing and beautiful family with you as their mother and as my wife. Y/N Y/L/N, I love you so much, and I see us growing old together. Y/N will you marry me?”
“Dean Winchester, that has got to be the best proposal I have ever heard in my life!” she says, holding back tears.
She walks up to him, holding her hand out. “Yes, I will marry you.”
He slips on the ring on her finger, getting up to meet her with a loving kiss.
“I can’t wait for those kids to come; I want to have so many kids with you.”
“Okay, slow down Winchester, we’re having two as are first set of kids.”
“I know, but I wonder how many more twins I can knock you up with.” He says kissing her neck.
“You goofy, horny man!” she giggles.
“I’m your goofy horny man.” He says, nipping at her ear.
“That you are.” She says. Meeting his lips in a loving kiss.

Stay Awhile
Happy holidays to @not-the-same-url-i-used-to-be, for the @destielsecretsanta2020 gift exchange! I hope you like this mess of pure found family fluff!
(Read it on AO3)
Family dinners are kind of a big deal. It's hard to get everyone together these days, so when every single one of them RSVP's yes, it's huge. And they're running late.
"Dammit," Dean says, glancing at the traffic map Cas has pulled up on his phone. They're on I-80 just outside of Cheyenne, stuck in stop-and-go traffic that doesn't seem like it'll be letting up any time soon. They're coming from San Francisco, or thereabouts, and on their third day of driving.
Once upon a time, Dean would've just pushed through, making the 22-hour drive on 3 hours of sleep, coffee and a little bit of hope. These days, though, he and Cas like to take it slow, to stop and smell the roses as it were.
That's what they do now. Two years down the line, and they don't hunt unless some other hunter desperately needs their help. Instead, for the first time in Dean's life, they've been travelling just for the hell of it. Most recently they'd been in wine country, because Cas was curious and Dean had forgotten how to say no a long time ago. They have at least 16 different bottles in the trunk, all of which they're planning on sharing, if they ever make it to Lebanon.
"Sam's gonna kill us," Dean groans.
Cas pats him on the thigh. "He'll kill you," he replies. "I said we should've left Saturday, but you wanted to stick around for the county fair."
"It was twelve bucks and they had a pie eating competition!"
"Yes, dear," Cas says, fake exasperation lacing his tone.
"Fuck you," Dean replies, but he can't stop the laugh that bubbles out from his chest.
Cas shakes his head with a smile. "There's an exit coming up in half a mile, let's see if we can't find a better way home."
Dean grins. "Anything you say, sweetheart."
All said and done, they're only forty-five minutes late. Sam's still going to bitch, but frankly Dean considers it a miracle of navigation and ever-so-slightly reckless driving.
"Grab the wine and I'll get our bags out of the trunk," Dean says.
The sounds of laughter and plates clinking floats out as soon as they open the door to the bunker, and Dean can feel a grin settling on his face already as he pauses to take it all in. He loves this, more than just about anything he's ever had. Cas nudges his shoulder and nods towards the open door.
"Don't you think we've kept them waiting long enough already?"
"Yeah," Dean says, and they head in.
"It's about time!" Sam calls when he spot's them. He stands and strides over to them.
Dean drops his and Cas's bags in preparation for the bear hug he knows he's going to get. Ever since he and Cas started heading out on their own, Sam acts like he hasn’t seen them in years.
"Yeah, yeah," Dean says, accepting the embrace and clapping Sam on the back. "You should've seen the traffic."
"We all know it wasn't traffic that kept you in California an extra day," Sam teases.
Dean shoots a look at Cas. Traitor, he thinks. Cas's grin widens, and for a moment it's almost like he can hear Dean's thoughts again. But no, Cas just knows him that well.
"Alright," Jodie says, stepping up behind Sam, "give the rest of us a turn."
Dean and Cas pass out hugs like party favors, making sure to spend a moment with everyone in the room. Cas lingers for a few minutes with Jack, and while he does Dean steps into the kitchen to make them both a plate of food.
It's been too damn long.
After a few minutes, Cas joins him in the kitchen and presses a short kiss against the shell of his ear.
"It's good to see everyone," Cas murmurs, wrapping his arms around Dean's waist.
Dean turns in the embrace and deposits a lingering kiss against Cas's lips. "It is," he agrees.
There's something that Dean has been turning over in his head for a few weeks, and he figures now is as good a time as any to finally spit it out. "What if we stayed put for a while?" He searches Cas's face for any sign of distress, but the soft smile he's been wearing all night remains.
"Here in the bunker?" Cas asks, tilting his head in that oh so familiar way.
"We could," Dean says.
"But?"
"But…" And this is the part he's nervous about. There's a lot they've hashed out over the years, and Dean knows that Cas wants to be with him. He knows that he's happy as a human, knows that they're happy together. But there's something different about asking him for this. "I was thinking we could get a house. Something that's just ours. Still nearby, so we could be close to everybody. What do you think?" Dean bites his lip.
Cas's smile expands into a broad grin. "I would like nothing more than to 'settle down' with you, Dean Winchester."
"Awesome," Dean sighs and kisses Cas again.
They rejoin the party after that and are pulled quickly in opposite directions. Donna tells Dean about her (very, very hot) new boyfriend while Cas is regaled with Claire and Kaia's latest hunting adventure. He finds Charlie and Stevie talking to Patience about her college classes (and finds out that she's doing psychic consulting out of her dorm room). Garth and Alex are discussing the challenges of treating monsters and hunters in underground clinics. Bobby is talking to Jack about metaphysics (and damn, when did Bobby have time to do so much reading on the subject?), and Sam and Eileen are bent over some witch-y looking book with Rowena.
His family, Dean thinks. The hunters, the werewolves, the Queen of Hell, God himself, a couple college kids, and an ex-angel. It doesn't get much better than this.
The party goes late into the night, and when it's over everyone crashes at the bunker. These days, it functions as a stopover for hunters from all around the country. Sam and Eileen are slowly expanding their reach, giving hunters everywhere access to the enormous cache of knowledge contained within the bunker's walls. It feels so full of life, like it was always meant to be. They all sleep easy.  
Dean wakes up smiling. It's not like this everyday, but it's happening more all the time. Something about sleeping in Cas's arms, waking up in them, it keeps the nightmares at bay. Most of them, anyway.
Dean brushes a lock of hair away from Cas's face. It's gotten longer recently and it's nice. He places a soft kiss on Cas's brow.
"I'm gonna make breakfast," he says softly. "Want to help?"
Cas groans and presses his face into Dean's shoulder. "Too early," he mumbles.
Dean chuckles. "Alright, sweetheart," he says. He rolls onto his back, carefully dislodging Cas, then gets up.
Without opening his eyes, Cas whines and makes grabby hands at Dean. Dean catches one of Cas's hands in his own. "I'll make coffee," he promises, then presses a kiss into Cas's knuckles.
"Promise?" Cas says.
"Anything for you, sunshine," Dean replies.
To his surprise, Dean isn't alone when he walks into the kitchen. Claire sits at the table, eyes closed and a steaming mug held in both hands.
"Hey kid," Dean says, clearing his throat.
Claire hums in acknowledgement, takes a sip of her coffee, then opens her eyes. "You two look happy," she says, apropos of nothing.
"I- uh, yeah. We are," Dean replies.
"M'glad," Claire says. "You both deserve it."
"We're thinking about getting a house," Dean confides in her. "Haven't even told Sam yet."
She smiles at that. "I'm happy for you," she says.
"You know, if you ever wanted to get out of the life-"
"Nah, me and Kaia have everything we need. I wouldn't say no to an invitation to visit, though."
Dean grins. "You'll be first on our list."
They fall into comfortable silence for several minutes, as Dean pulls out enough ingredients to feed an army. Hunters are a hungry bunch, after all.
"Claire?" Dean says as he cracks eggs into a bowl.
"Yeah?"
"You seem happy, too."
There's a long pause. Finally, she says, "I am." Dean turns to see her smiling into her coffee
Just then, Sam and Eileen walk into the kitchen, followed quickly by Garth and Bess. Before long most of the bunker has arrived, and Dean gets back to cooking the feast. Behind him, someone else fires up the toaster, and soon he's handing off plate after plate of bacon, eggs and toast.
Finally, once nearly everyone has food, Cas walks in looking just as rumpled as he always does in the morning. Dean meets him with a mug of coffee and a sweet kiss. "Morning, sunshine," he murmurs against his lips.
"Good morning, Dean," Cas replies, voice still rough with sleep.
And yeah, Dean thinks, he could get used to this.

Saturday 12:50 A.M.
“Tell me you didn’t,” Dean begged, his hands cradling your face. You didn’t say anything. “Damn it Y/N, tell me you didn’t do it!” He shook you slightly when he yelled. 
“I had to get you back,” you cried. Dean pushed away, forcefully knocking over a stack of books and kicking a table into the wall. “Sam wasn’t going to find anything else and you know it.” 
“Then you let me stay dead.” He boomed, furiously turning towards you. You had never seen him this mad before. Not at you. “You bury me and you move on.”
“I thought you were in hell!” You screamed. Both of them just stared at you, fuming. “I-I saw you. It was like a dream, but it wasn’t. I saw you in hell screaming for help, in agony. I couldn’t sit by and do nothing.”
“That’s what last night was about?” Sam asked, feeling a wave of guilt rush over him. He could have stopped you. If he had just paid more attention, he could have figured out your plan. 
“I saw him, Sam.” You wished you could make them understand. “Dean, you spent forty years in hell for Sam, I couldn’t let you spend any more for me.” 
“Well I wasn’t there.” His tone was harsh, making your heart sting. 
“What do you want me to say? I’m sorry?” You crossed your arms over your chest. “I’m not.”
“This is the most selfish thing you have ever done, you know that?” Dean was hiding his pain with anger, but damn he was good at it. But so were you. 
“Look me in the eye and tell me you wouldn’t have done the same thing.” You challenged. His jaw clenched. “You can’t, Dean! Because you have done it!”
You stared each other down, casting an icy chill over the room. You didn’t have time for this. You stiffened, eye darting to the clock. Time. Sam noticed this and finally spoke. 
“Y/N, how long did the demon give you?” Judging by the way your body tensed at the question, it wasn’t the usual decade. You clammed up, the adrenaline of the argument fading. Your silence sent a terrible pang through Dean’s chest. He repeated Sam’s question. 
“How long do we have?” Through his anger, you still caught one of his words. We.
“Dean…” Your fire was gone and you couldn’t help but think about the demon. She said he was in hell. The bitch had tricked you. And you fell for it completely. Even so, as you looked into Dean’s rage filled eyes you knew it was worth it. You would have saved him with only three minutes to live if you had to. Dean roughly grabbed your shoulders.
“How long?” This close to him, you could see it. The fear. You had to look away. 
“Three days.” 
Dean stumbled back like he’d been punched in the gut. 
“What?” Sam gasped, taking a step towards you. Dean wasn’t moving. He was hunched over, unable to breathe.
“I have until Monday at midnight, so you can understand why I don’t want to spend my time fighting with you.” Dean slowly straightened up, putting on his emotionless soldier face. He stalked towards you until your faces were inches apart. 
“What did you expect, Y/N? That we would be all kisses and cuddles?” The low rumbling growl in his voice scared you. “You want to throw away your life, fine. But when the bitch comes to drag you down to hell, don’t expect me to be there to watch.” He spat and Sam watched him in shock. 
“Dean!” Sam exclaimed. Dean tried to fight it, but a tear streaked down his face. He tore his gaze away from you and stormed out of the room. Your body relaxed and you let your own tears fall. You knew this would happen but that didn’t mean it didn’t hurt like hell. Pardon the expression. 
“I- um, I should probably go.” You gulped, shoving your hands in your pockets. Sam moved to the base of the stairs to block your way. 
“Don’t.” 
“Sam-”
“You are not going to just crawl into some hole to die.” He loomed over you, his anger having changed to protective determination. “You brought my brother back and I can never repay you for that. But what you did…” He sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Do you have any idea what that’s going to do to him?” 
“I didn’t have a choice, Sam.” You smiled sadly. “I love him.” Sam didn’t say anything for a moment. The woman that he saw as a sister was going to die the same way his brother had. But there wouldn’t be an angel to pull you out of hell this time. He backed up suddenly. 
“Oh God, I have to call Cas.” 
-
4:41 A.M. 
Dean was surrounded by shattered glass and crumbled wax. It was a miracle that he hadn’t set the room on fire. He sat against the wall amongst the carnage of candles with his head in his hands. Alone, he cried- screaming and destroying anything he could get his hands on. Now, he just sat in the corner, feeling the fight draining out of him. Even if there was a way to stop the deal, it would take longer than you had. He was going to lose you.
A knock at the door pulled him out of his miserable thoughts. Sam came in before he could tell him to go away. Dean rested his head against the wall and dried his face with his sleeve. 
“How are you feeling?” He asked cautiously. Dean didn’t say a word. He just picked up a piece of glass and flipped it between his fingers. “Dean, this isn’t something you can just ignore.” 
“Sam if you try and pull any of that Dr. Phil crap, so help me God, I will shove this candle wax down your throat.” He hissed. Sam kept a cool head, knowing that his brother’s animosity wasn’t directed towards him. He also knew that it wasn’t directed towards Y/N either. 
“Dean, you have to talk to her.” The older Winchester lifted the shard of glass to throw it at him. Sam smacked it out of his hand and yanked him to his feet. “Y/N is going to die, Dean. She’s going to hell unless we can figure something out to stop it.”
“What do you want me to say?” Dean pushed Sam away from him. “Gee Y/N, I’ve spent every minute of our relationship trying to keep you safe, but now that you’ve sacrificed yourself let’s all sing Kumbaya!” 
“I don’t like this anymore than you do. Y/N’s family. So yeah, I’m going to work my ass off to try and stop what happened to you from happening to her. But if nothing works…” He wanted to have hope, but even his optimism couldn’t triumph over this. “We have to be there for her.”
Sam looked like he wanted to say more, but decided against it. This was something they needed to figure out themselves. Besides, Cas was on his way after being on the road and he had a lot to catch up on. He walked out of Dean’s room passing you in the hall. 
You entered your room slowly. Dean stood in the middle of the floor, bits and pieces of candle around his feet. You stopped moving when his gaze lifted to your face. He didn’t look as hostile as he had before. He just looked broken. 
“I just came to get some clothes.” You said as calmly as you could with him looking at you like that. Dean made no movement to stop you so you walked over to the dresser and grabbed some shirts and a few pairs of jeans. Just enough for three days. You tried to make a quick exit, but Dean’s voice stopped you. 
“Don’t.” Your hand fell away from the doorknob, now shaking nervously at your side. 
“I told you I don’t want to waste the time I have fighting.” You sighed, almost afraid to turn around. You felt his hand on your shoulder and your solemn resolve crumbled. 
“I won’t fight you.” He whispered. “Just stay here.” He slowly turned you around. Your eyes locked together and he pulled you into his arms. You reveled in his warmth. Less than 24 hours ago, he had been lying on that bed, his body cold and his eyes empty. You were sure nothing in the world would ever feel better than his embrace. 
“Why did you have to do it, baby?” Dean cried, the crack in his voice shooting up through your heart. You pulled back, running your fingers through his chestnut hair. 
“I told you, Dean. I need you alive. I can’t do this without you. Sam was barely holding on. I thought you were in hell. You were crying out for help. For me. It was my fault you were dead and I couldn’t live with it.” 
“But I-”
“Shhh,” You hushed, pressing your forehead against his. “There’s nothing we can do about it now. Please, can we just be together? We’ve already wasted enough time and I don’t want to be alone.”
“I’m not going anywhere, sweetheart.” He promised, gently lifting your lips up to his. 
-
8:30 A.M.
You and Dean got a few hours of sleep before cleaning up the room. Cas had finally arrived and pulled Dean into an awkward Cas-like hug. 
“Sam told me what happened.” He looked at you disapprovingly. “I won’t be able to pull you out.” 
“I know.” 
“If there’s anything I can do…” Again, the angel felt so powerless to help his friends. 
“Thanks Cas.” You kissed his cheek affectionately. You knew that there was nothing to be done and frankly, you didn't want to waste the precious time you had searching for a way out. You just wanted to be with your boys. 
“How are you feeling this morning?” You fretted, instinctively putting your hands on Dean’s chest as if you were making sure there was a heartbeat. Dean put his hand on top of yours, holding it close to his heart. 
“I’m not the one we need to worry about.” He wished that he could hold you there forever, but the clock was ticking fast. Only 63 and a half hours left. 
“How about I make some breakfast?” You suggest cheerily. “We should still have some stuff for omelets and lots and lots of bacon.” You knew that your boyfriend couldn’t object to that. 
You yanked him to the kitchen and connected your phone to Sam’s bluetooth speaker that Dean still called ‘new fangled tech’. Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls” started to play and you just couldn’t resist dancing. Dean was leaning against the fridge until you grabbed him and forced him to shimmy a little with you. 
Dean’s laugh filled the kitchen as he spun you into him. He wrapped his arms around you from behind and you both rocked to the music. It was almost like nothing had happened. Like you were going to dance and laugh like this a week from now. The song ended and you felt Dean’s arm tighten around you. Neither of you said a word, but you knew that he was thinking the same thing. He didn’t want this to end either. 
-
3:01 P.M
“So get this,” Sam set his laptop down in front of you. “Two missing persons reports in Kansas City. Witnesses described a strange woman stalking the house before the couple disappeared. They just found the husband yesterday… his heart ripped out.”
“Sam, you’re seriously looking for a case right now?” Dean snapped. You put a hand on his arm to calm him.
“No, this is perfect.”
“Y/N, you can’t be serious.”
“Dean, the best way to get our minds off of this is to go kill some evil son of a bitch.” Looking between the brothers your hearts swelled proudly. “What do you say, boys? One last hunt together.”
Dean wouldn’t argue with that. When he was on the fast track to the underworld, all he could do was waste as many monsters as possible. You had earned one more victory. Besides, it would distract you enough for him to make a call.
-
8:14 P.M.
The drive took roughly four hours and Dean even let you drive part of the way. The three of you agreed to hit the coroner’s office first and then head over to the couples’ house to see if the wolf had left any clues as to where it took them. 
“You know what, we should just knock two birds with one stone.” Dean suggested. His girlfriend and his brother gave him a questioning look. “I’ll head to the house and you two go check out the body.”
“I guess so, but why?” You wondered. Dean shrugged. 
“I just figured we could bust this thing tonight and be back home by morning.” He mainly needed enough time to call a certain reluctant ally.
“Sounds good to me.” You gave him a quick kiss before grabbing your pantsuit from the trunk. You and Sam quickly departed and Dean started walking to the suburbs where the couple lived. He pulled out his phone and waited for that grumpy accent to answer. 
“What do you want?” Crowley barked, sounding especially annoyed. 
“We’ve got to talk. I need you to undo a deal.”
“I’m sorry, you want me to what?”
“Y/N made a deal with one of your lackeys and I need you to erase it or whatever the hell it is you do.”
“That’s not how this works, Squirrel. You can’t just call me, making demands because your girlfriend is an idiot.” Crowley sounded like he was about to hang up, so Dean spoke quickly. 
“What if it wasn’t a square deal?” 
“We’re demons, you imbecile, nothing we do is ‘square’. Now don’t call me again.” The Crossroads King hung up before Dean got another word in. 
“Damn it.” Crowley was Dean’s one shot at fixing this. For the time being, he channeled his frustration into investigating the house. On the other side of town, you and Sam finished up checking out the body and headed back to the impala. 
“Hey Sam.” You said suddenly. 
“Yeah?”
“I never said thank you for being there for me that night.” You leaned on the car’s hood. “You had just lost your brother and you didn’t hesitate to comfort me. I appreciated it.” Sam wrapped an arm around your shoulders for a side-hug. 
“You’ve been there for me and my brother more times than I can count.” He kissed the top of your head. “I’ll never forget that.” You blinked rapidly, feeling the water works coming on.
“Damn it, Samuel, you’re ruining my tough bitch cover.” You laughed, fully hugging the younger Winchester. “Look after him for me, Sammy.” Sam didn’t respond, but you knew he would. It’s what Winchesters did best. 
-
11:49 P.M.
Dean was able to trace the werewolf to a dive bar because of a dropped napkin. Due to the time of the moon cycle, you knew you were dealing with a pureblood so you’d have to be extra careful. With guns loaded with silver bullets, you strode in with a Winchester on each side. 
It was pretty empty, but seeing as it was a dump that didn’t surprise you. What did surprise you was the woman who was supposed to be missing sitting in a corner booth. She was with another woman with a tattoo on her hand. A full moon. 
“They make it so easy.” You muttered and started towards them. 
The chase was always your favorite part of a hunt. Once you were out in the open, they turned. The pureblood must have turned the woman and fed her her husband’s heart. Gross. Sam and Dean went after the newbie but the pureblood was all yours.
You tackled her to the ground, pinning her down with all your strength. She struggled, but you had your gun on her quickly. She looked up at you with a smile full of fangs.
“You don’t have long.” She sneered. “I can smell the death radiating off of you.” You took aim at her heart. 
“Yeah, well I’ll see you in hell, bitch.” You pulled the trigger and heard another shot from across the empty lot. Sam and Dean sauntered back towards you. This was just what you needed. One last hunt in the books before you punch your clock.
-
Sunday 6:40 P.M.
After a great night of hunting, you’d earned the right to sleep in. You lounged in bed with Dean while Sam left for coffee. Majorly craving cheeseburgers, you all stopped at a local dinger for a late lunch. It wasn’t until around 3:00 that you finally got on the road back to the bunker. 
The sun was setting, giving everything a pretty orange hue. You were hogging all the beers since you were in the back seat and Dean was driving. The open road and the beautiful rumble of the engine made for the perfect combination. 
“Wait, turn up the radio.” You cheered, hearing the beginning lines of “Drive Away” by Dobie Gray begin to play. Sam chuckled and turned up the volume. Reaching the chorus, you leaned forward, draping your arms over Dean’s seat, resting them on his chest. You all sang off key, but it didn’t matter. 
“Give me the beat boys and free my soul! I wanna get lost in your rock n roll and drift away.” 
It took a moment for the lyrics to sink into Dean’s head. Free my soul and drift away. Damn. As crazy as it sounded, maybe this was Baby’s goodbye to you. His smile was sad, but watching you grin, singing at the top of your lungs, he loved you more than he ever had before. 
It was all perfect. From the sunset to Dean and Sam belting out the song with you, you couldn’t have imagined a better way to go. Even if you could go back, erase all of the loss and pain, live a life without hunting, you wouldn’t do it. No matter what, you would always pick this moment every time. Drifting away with your boys in the best car in the world. 
-
10:00 P.M.
Dean was taking a shower and you were changing into your sexier pajamas. You wanted your last night to be perfect. You knew you would be gone before he woke up. The ringing of Dean’s phone caught your attention. Why was Crowley calling him? You decided to answer.
“Alright, I looked into the deal so you would stop bothering me about it.” Crowley said gruffly. 
“What?” You tried to lower your voice so he couldn’t tell the difference. 
“How stupid to you Winchesters get?” He snarked. “Your girlfriend’s deal. The one you wanted me to reverse?”
“Oh, um, right.” You stammered.
“Well like I told you before, I can’t just snap my fingers and undo what’s been done. The demon was clever in manipulating her dreams, I’m actually quite impressed.” You rolled your eyes. “Anyway, Y/N made the deal of her own free will, so it’s legitimate. Now seriously, never call me again.” He hung up abruptly and you felt your blood start to boil. Dean did what?
“Woah, you haven’t worn that in ages.” Dean smirked, coming out in his sweatpants, droplets of water still dotting his chest. You tossed his phone on the bed, giving him a death glare. 
“You called Crowley…” You seethed. Dean’s smirk fell instantly. 
“Yes.” He crossed his arms over his chest, daring you to argue. 
“Dean, this isn’t a game of tug of war where we fight over who’s dying for who.” You mimicked his stance. “I made my bed. I know what I got myself into.” 
“No, you don’t!” He shouted, voice echoing down the hall. He closed the door with a hard slam. “You have no idea what it’s going to be like.”
You watched his entire body tense and his eyes glazed over. This is not how you wanted this night to go. Dean was trying to keep it together, but the memories were too much. 
“I remember every minute of it.” He wasn’t looking at you anymore. Rather, his eyes were focused behind you, staring into his past. “From the second the hell hound tore me up to Cas raising me out. I can’t get it out of my head, even after years of being out. It was agony.”
You screwed your eyes shut, but Dean crossed to you, holding your chin between his thumb and pointer finger to make you look at him. Tears had escaped onto his face now and his voice cracked as he continued. 
“And then when I couldn’t take it anymore, I did it to other people. I tortured those poor souls to save myself. So if I thought there was a change to save you from that pain, I would take it without flinching.” This was different from your other fight. You weren’t hiding behind anger anymore. You could see the pain in his eyes and it was breaking your heart. 
“I won’t pretend that I wasn’t selfish.” You sighed, taking his hands in yours. “I needed you back and I didn’t care how I got you. I knew that you would hate me for what I did, but it didn't matter. I had to get you back.”
Dean’s gaze fell to the floor and his voice dropped to a devastated whisper. 
“How many more people have to die for me, baby?” He looked up again and for the first time, you regretted putting him through this. “How many more people do I have to lose?” He rested his forehead against yours and you draped your arms around his neck. 
“Don’t think about that now. Let’s just have tonight.” You said, bringing your lips to his. You moved together, desperately savoring this moment knowing it would be your last. 
Dean laid back on the bed and pulled you onto his lap. Your hands ran through his hair as you deepened the kiss. It was your last night to love him and you damn sure weren’t going to waste it.

Lifting the Sea
“Where’s Cas?” 
Dean does a full comedic rotation before spotting the Angel— his husband— whatever, scowling at his phone near a landmark. 
He shrugs, “Catching those little monster dudes probably. Apparently they’re all over the place here.”
Sam’s brow furls, he looks over at Eileen who shrugs. 
“What?”
“You know that fuckin’ app that everybody was obsessed with like... 5 years ago? Pocket something something”
Sam frowns for a split second then it hits him.
“Pokémon go?”
“Yeah that shit.” Dean shrugs again, his green eyes still fixed on the man in question. “I knew it was a mistake getting a smartphone” but he doesn’t sound nearly as bothered as he claims. He glares upward. “It’s fucking hot” 
Sam’s also dart up. “I mean. It’s the beach Dean.” He stares pointedly at his brother’s attire. “Would it kill you to buy some shorts maybe a tshirt?” 
Dean pulls a face, but doesn’t argue, Cas is waving happily- just now noticing how far they’ve walked away from him. He points excitedly to his phone and says something. 
“Can’t hear—” Dean sighs, “CAN’T HEAR YA CAS, you’re too far” he yells, smiling softly. “Asshole.” 
Dean points at the nearby shop, waving to get Sam’s attention, a couple kids are clustered around Cas chattering to him animatedly. 
“Sam. Can you keep an eye on him? I’ll be right back” 
~~~
When Dean walks back out into the sunshine Cas has finally decided to join them. He’s signing to Eileen and going intensely through the alphabet. Probably more about that damn Pokémon game. 
Sam whistles, “I’m blind” he laughs. “Your legs, they’re reflecting the sun”
Dean flips him off.
“No, but for real Dean, have your thighs ever been exposed to light? Are you sure it’s safe?”
“HA, HA, fuck you”
Cas turns at his voice, eyes glowing happily, and how in the hell did Dean Winchester get so lucky. 
“I caught a Charizard in the wild Dean, none of the other players were able to capture him” He informs proudly, phone still out, finger flipping with precision, “You have very nice legs” he adds. “The sunlight will cause you to have more freckles, plus the added health benefits of vitamin D”
Dean winks, “Any nude beaches out here? I could benefit from your vitamin d”
Sam retches, seizing the umbrella from Dean and heading toward the beach. “You two are disgusting” 
Dean waves cheerily before turning back to his boyfriend— husband. 
“So What’s a charred—“
“Charizard.” Cas corrects, “dragon fire type”
“Uh-huh” Dean reaches for Cas’ hand, it takes him a second to get used to flicking with his thumb, but he manages, Dean lets Cas lead. “Did you bully those kids out of their dragon? Dragons suck dude.”
“It is very rare to catch in the wild, Edwin told me, he is one of the top players in this region, he is 12, and though he is Team Valor, and I am team Instinct, I decided to trust him.”
“Whatever you say babe.”
“I think you might enjoy this game Dean, it combines hunting and tracking with less bloodshed and all of the monsters seem kind.” Cas squints suddenly, yanking them out of the flow of traffic and down onto the beach. “I see combees.”
~~
“Handsome and artistic, you’ve gotta be a serial killer right?”
Dean raises his head, shielding his eyes in the sun. She’s tall, and curvy with sparkling eyes and a near perfect smile. 
“I don’t know about artistic, but I never murder and tell”
She throws out a hand. 
“I’m Clarice” 
“Dean.”
She notices the lift of his expression and rolls her eyes good naturally, “Yeah like Silence of the Lambs”
“Put the lotion in the basket” he intones with a mock accent. 
“Yeah that never gets old” 
He laughs and she smiles and takes a seat on the beach chair beside him.
“What brings you out here into the sunshine?” 
“Celebratin’.” His eyes turn back to his sketchbook, thumb smudging a carefully drawn mop of black hair.
“Oh, that’s fun, how old are you?” She doesn’t seem bothered by his in attention, sips her drink and watches him sketch. 
“Ah um” He shifts and does the mental math. “Forty-three I think...”
“Looking good” she says appreciatively. He’s too focused on the lines, eyes occasionally darting to the ocean, quite obviously only half listening. She’s not put off yet- no ring on his finger, only a necklace with two silver circles and that could mean anything.
“So uh, a couple of my friends are headed down into the—“
“DEAN!” 
His attention is immediately diverted, a man waist-deep in the frigid surf is pointing excitedly at something, he’s still wearing his snorkel mask. He pulls something free of the water- revealing a long, lean wriggling shape.  
“Is that a fucking shark?” Dean mutters in disbelief, then much louder “CAS is that a fucking shark?”
A giant man with longer hair stops splashing the woman with him, turns and starts cackling. The shark handler pulls his mask off, beaming. “Jack would love this!”
Clarice shades her eyes and takes a good look at the man with the shark and then at the drawing Dean’s been working on. 
“Who’s that?” She asks, his distraction giving her a better chance seeing what’s in his sketchbook. 
A lovingly rendered drawing of what looks like the man with the shark. But in the sketch it’s in a much different position, hair ruffled in detail over his brow. Blankets pooled around his barely covered hipbones. His eyes burn with inner heat despite the fact that they’re merely pencil on paper. His subject had clearly been in love with whomever he’d been looking at. 
“That is my boyfriend, he’s gonna get his nipple bit off if he’s not careful.” Dean’s smiling cause Sam is trying to talk Cas into releasing the shark and is clearly failing. “Oh hell, I guess husband now.”
She stands, “I am so sorry, I didn’t realize. I gotta—“
“Nice to meet you Clarice” he says, honestly surprised by her quick exit. “Yo STEVE IRWIN. put the shark down and come up here— time to reapply sunblock”
~~
“Who was that woman?” Cas asks, shaking like a dog and stirring a loud swearing session out of Dean as he shields his sketchbook from the saltwater.
“What woman?”
“The one speaking to you earlier? When I caught the shark?”
Dean looks completely vacant before remembering. “Oh shit, yeah! Clarice or something. Nice lady.”
Cas nods, waiting patiently while Dean starts applying sunscreen to his back. 
“Did she need something?”
Dean shrugs, “just being friendly I guess, lean close. I gotta get your nose”
Cas hums and obliges, he grins suddenly and rips open a Velcro pocket in his trunks revealing his prize to Dean. 
“Is that a goddamn crab Castiel?”
The angel nods happily. “We should find out if Claire can FaceTime. She would love to see.”
~~
Claire and Kaia lean close, Dean’s got the camera aimed so that it’s mostly sky and their foreheads. Cas is smushed against his cheek waving. 
“Jesus.” Claire hisses. “Hold the damn camera still. Dean— look, YOU’RE the square in the corner.”
Kaia hasn’t stopped giggling since they connected.
“How is Kansas?” Cas asks. “Are you well?”
Claire rolls her eyes. “You’ve been gone two days. It’s the same Cas— house burned down and a ghoul attack—“
The camera reels, two deep gruff voices start speaking rapidly. 
“She’s joking!” Kaia intervenes. “Castiel, Dean. She’s joking. We’re fine and safe, worst thing that happened is we ran out of coffee.”
He nods seriously— the left side of Dean’s face is unamused.
“Tell them not to put damn Walmart coffee in my coffee machine—“
Cas lifts a blurry item into view. “I caught a crab today,”
She freezes only for a moment, crabs had been her thing in 1st grade. Her dad had shared some of his favorite memories with Cas; she was realizing that he did it because he trusted the angel. The crab thing was a new one— he seems proud though, pleased that he remembered. 
“He also caught a fucking shark with his bare hands.” Dean adds, taking the phone back, view now up his nostrils. They’re both sunburned and nearly glowing with happiness. “Almost lost a nipple”
“I did not.” It’s Cas’ turn to roll his eyes. “I will send you photographs via messaging after the call.”
“When are you guys headed back?” Claire asks, cause she’s pleased about the pictures and doesn’t know how to admit it. 
Dean turns the camera again. This time slightly more centered. 
“Sam and Eileen are heading home tomorrow, but Cas says he has more surprises for me and “undomesticated equine could not drag the secrets from him’”
Dean and Claire snort simultaneously. 
“I was being funny.” Cas interjects, Dean laughs at something off camera and grabs his face, kissing Cas’ cheek. “I know the saying.”
“Gotta go.” Dean says, with a wink. “Gotta get our vitamin D for the day, right Sunshine?”
The camera tips; Cas is frowning in confusion and they can barely see the top of Dean’s now suggestively wagging eyebrows.
“Oh. Uh. Yes.” Cas looks guiltily at the phone and shakes his head at Dean. “Vitamins.”
Kaia starts wheezing with laughter. It dawns on Claire moments later.
“That’s fucking gross.”
Cas shrugs apologetically, Dean’s laughter fills the background.
“We appear to be having connection issues.” Cas mutters, They watch Cas fumble with the phone as he frantically tries to hang up before Dean does anything scandalous.
“See you in a week!” Dean shouts. “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.”
“Bye...” the screen goes dark and Claire is left with her and Kaia’s amused reflections. “Dads.”

@sextualfantasy requested destiel with Jealous!Dean, and the MotW being wildly flirtatious with Cas. <3 
---
Dean grits his teeth as he stares down at the table, watching the couple--watching the two people across the table from him in the reflection of a spoon. He needs to relax. His jaw hurts from the force of his irritation, but every time he makes an effort to loosen his jaw, he hears the scraping, tinkling laugh of the kikimora. Worse yet are the cooed endearments, all dropped directly in Cas’ lap, for Cas to do whatever Cas does with compliments, but for Dean to obsess over, until he’s nothing more than a tightly wound ball of tension that’s three seconds away from exploding. 
Definitely wasn’t supposed to go down like this. 
It was supposed to be a fairly easy case--3 men, all in fairly good health, went to bed one night and never woke up the next morning. The perplexed medical examiner finally put the cause of death down to heart attack, in lieu of any other explanation. But the rictus expression of fear and the clawed hands, frozen in the act of clutching the blankets, had all spoken of something unnatural. 
It had taken them a few tries before they landed on kikimora. They’re not common. To Dean’s knowledge, Dad had come across the hint of one once, and Bobby had killed one, once, about twenty years ago. Silver and salt, was all Bobby’s journal said, and Dad’s journal didn’t even say that much. Don’t look her in the eyes, was Bobby’s other piece of advice, along with the warning that kikimora usually fixated on young men, to drive them wild with desires, and young women, to drive them mad with jealousy. This one has deviated somewhat off script in that she’s literally terrifying men to death, which means that she has to be put down. 
It had been a foolproof plan, or as close to foolproof as the Winchesters got. Find the kikimora--the instructions were a little vague there, since all the lore said was that she would be in the guise of a beautiful woman and possibly have chicken feet--but Dean had figured with Cas alongside them, there wasn’t much cause to worry. While his grace isn’t what it used to be, Cas can still venture into a bar or club and pick out any ten monsters, usually before both his feet are in the door. Plus, there was an added advantage to bringing him along.  
“After all,” Dean had said, tucking his silver knife into the inner pocket of his suit, “you’ll be able to look her in the eyes, no problem.”
Dean should really know by now not to say shit like that.
Cas clocked the kikimora from the second they walked into the bar. He’d pointed her out to Dean, a waitress with long black hair and pale, porcelain skin. They’d gone over together, Dean carefully looking into the middle distance as Cas introduced them as agents and could they just have a word--The kikimora had glanced up, taken in the whole breadth of Cas’ face--the persistent stubble clinging to his jaw, the thick dark hair curling over his ears, the piercing blue eyes--and her smile had spread, predatory and pleased, across her face. Have more than one word sweetheart, she’d said, lilting voice reaching out to Cas. You can have all the words you like. 
Cas had taken one look at her face and--
If Dean strains his ears, he can hear the low rumble and scrape of Cas’ voice. From the second that Cas looked into the kikimora’s eyes, he hasn’t looked away. And her...She must have her boss under some kind of spell; either that or she’s not a waitress at all, because this whole damn time, after the first Well hey there handsome, that she threw Cas’ way, she hasn’t shifted from Cas’ side. 
Dean tries not to think about how the lore says that kikimora fixate on attractive men. About how they’ll drive them mad with desire. 
He chances a look. 
Cas doesn’t look driven mad with desire, but he doesn’t...not look driven mad with desire. Mostly, he’s wearing that Cas look that he gets when he’s listening intently to someone--the small line that knits between his eyebrows, the determined little purse of his lips, the laser-like focus of his eyes on another person. Dean’s used to that person being him. 
An ugly emotion swirls in his gut and claws its way up his throat as he watches the kikimora laugh and reach out. Her hand rests on Cas’ wrist, fingertips daring to slip underneath the cuff of his shirt to flirt with the bare skin of his arm. Cas never shakes it off. No, Cas just leans in closer, tilting his head in the way that Dean had come to think possessively of as his. Dean watches him as he takes a sip of his drink. The beer leaves a remnant of foam shining on his upper lip. That’s when the kikimora reaches out and swipes her thumb over the curve of Cas’ upper lip, except it’s not a swipe, she’s just leaving her thumb there, resting on Cas’ lips like that’s her newfound property, and that--
Dean doesn’t register the low growl rumbling through his chest, or the fact that he’s already up on his feet, until he’s looming over the two of them.  
“Agent,” he says. He tries to repress all of the writhing emotions in his chest and it leaves his voice rough. He rifles through his brain for Cas’ alias and comes up empty. “Can I speak to you?” 
Finally, the kikimora’s thumb falls away from Cas’ lips as the angel turns to look at him. Dean keeps his eyes on Cas, ignoring the small huff of irritation from the kikimora. 
“We’re actually in the middle of something, if you don’t mind,” she says, when neither Dean nor Cas move. Her hand lands on Cas’ jaw, turning his face back towards her. “Hey sexy, I know your friend is cute and all, but he’s just going to have to wait his turn, all right?” 
For a moment, Dean forgets that they’re in a crowded bar. He forgets about all the bystanders and the need for subtlety. All he can see, through his red-tinted vision, is the kikimora, leaning in close to Cas, her hair cascading like a waterfall and hiding Cas’ face from view, as she calls him sexy. 
That’s his fucking angel, thank you very much. 
At the same time that Dean explodes out with Now look here skank, Cas leans in closer, tucks a bit of kikimora’s hair behind her ear and murmurs, “Come with me?” 
The kikimora flashes a triumphant smile at Dean as she runs her fingers through Cas’ hair, down to scrape across his jaw. “Of course,” she croons, stroking over his cheeks. “Let’s go.” 
Cas throws one impenetrable look over his shoulder towards Dean, before he’s up and walking away. Dean looks down to see that his fingers are laced with the kikimora’s. They disappear down the darkened hallway towards the bathrooms and, coincidentally enough, the back exit. The last thing Dean sees is the kikimora’s hand reaching up to twist a lock of Cas’ hair around her finger. 
Something hot and ugly curls in his stomach and Dean is out the door after them, pushing his way through various bodies as he makes his way past the bathrooms and into the alley behind the bar. It stinks back here, the dumpsters only feet away and the hood vents belching out grease, but it’s dark and private. 
His silver knife bumps against his hip and Dean draws it out, glad at least that bit of subterfuge is over with. Now there’s just the hunting things aspect of his job and he’s looking forward to that part more than usual. 
His ears pick up the unmistakable sound of a scuffle, followed by a sharp cry and an even sharper, “What the hell do you--” By now Dean’s running, the sounds of a fight sending adrenaline and anger and all those other twisted things that he likes to pretend don’t writhe around in him swimming to the surface. He rounds the corner of the dumpster to find--
Castiel, wiping blood off his angel blade, looking calm and collected as if he’s asking Dean’s opinion on which avocado is the right type of firm, I can’t quite tell the difference, and Dean has the sinking suspicion suddenly, as Castiel looks at him, that he’s never been as clueless as he’s let on. 
“Hello Dean,” Cas says, tossing the scrap of cloth onto the kikimora’s body with an almost imperceptible expression of distaste. His eyes flick to the blade in Dean’s hands. “I think you’ll find that unnecessary.” 
“Unnecessary.” Dean’s palm is sweaty around his knife; he doesn’t let it go. He stares at Cas, who looks at him as calmly as if they ran into each other in the library, but there’s something smoldering behind Cas’ eyes. Eleven years have given Dean a pretty good basis of knowledge for when Cas is fucking with him, and Cas...
Cas is fucking with him. 
“You let her put her hands on you,” Dean says. He can’t help how his walk changes--no longer the frantic, rush of worry and jealousy (all right, he can admit it, it was definitely jealousy twisting up his insides). Instead, now it’s the tight, coiled grace of a hunter. 
From the barely-there smile that ghosts across Cas’ face, he notices the difference as well. 
“She called you sexy and handsome, and she put her hands all over you.” 
“She did,” Cas agrees, smooth and easy and too fucking smug for his own good. 
Dean’s walking towards the edge of a precipice. He’s been crawling towards it for several years, but, it appears anyway, that Cas has gotten tired of waiting for him to get there on his own and has now taken the drastic step of simply drop-kicking him off the edge. 
And Dean should probably be more irritated that he was fucking played like a two dollar harmonica this whole night, but Cas is in front of him, smug and celestial, and everything that Dean ever wanted, and his, his his--
“You’re a fucking asshole, you know that?” Dean crowds against Cas, pushes him back against the wall. Hips, legs, shoulders, his hands cupping Cas’ face and tilting it up so that Cas’ eyes catch the sickly yellow gleam of the streetlight. Cas huffs out in silent laughter and the sound scours away any of the bitter jealousy clogging Dean’s veins until he’s just overwhelmed with Cas. “Fucking flirting right in front of me, what the hell?” 
“It seemed the best way to get your attention,” Cas murmurs, which is all Dean allows him to say before he’s closed the scant inch of space between them, his mouth landing messily over Cas’. 
The taste of Cas on his lips purges everything else from Dean’s memory and replaces it all with the exact sensation of how it feels to have Cas’ hands slipping underneath his suit jacket to land, scalding hot, on his waist. The kiss starts brutal but it softens after a second, Dean nipping at the swell of Cas’ lower lip, Cas tracing the seam of Dean’s lips until Dean opens to him. 
Dean doesn’t know how they kiss, there in the alley behind a dive bar. It could be minutes, it could be years. All he knows, is that when he finally pulls away from Cas, just to catch his breath, Cas tries to follow, lips finally separating from Dean’s with a soft, wet smack. Dean keeps his hands cupped around Cas’ cheeks and presses his forehead to Cas’, unwilling to pull too far away. Their breath mingles together, close and humid, in the few inches separating them. 
“We still have to take care of the body,” Cas finally says, ever the realist. Dean muffles his groan by pressing his mouth to the side of Cas’ jaw. He likes the rough scape of stubble against the tender flesh of his lips, does it again, just because. “And while I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to doing anything more, I’m quite opposed to continuing in our present location.” 
His libido kicked into high gear, Dean pulls far enough away to get a glimpse of the wicked twinkle in Cas’ eyes. “You...” he says, overwhelmed by the sheer evil genius of Cas. 
“Take care of the body Dean,” Cas tells him, with a gleam in his eye that Dean suspects has always been there. “And then we’ll...talk.”
Played like a two dollar banjo and all Dean can do is grin as he grabs the kikimora’s body and tries to figure out how he and Cas are going to handle this. 
Damn angel.

The One with Red Sky at Morning
Pairing: Dean x Reader, Sam, Castiel
Summary: After a difficult hunt, you and the Winchester brothers want nothing more than to rest. As fate would have it, things don’t go so smoothly.
Warnings: Natural disaster, a little flangsty.
WC: 2300
A/N: This was written for @smol-and-grumpy​ “NAT’S SUPERFRIENDS TITLE CHALLENEGE.” My title was “The One with Red Sky at Morning.” I actually wrote several versions of this but settled on this one. A very similar situation happened to me when I was very young, out hunting with my father deep in the woods of South Georgia. All we had was a four-wheeler and a lot of quick prayers. To this day I don’t know how we made it out alive. Enjoy my first writing back from a three-year hiatus! This might get rough. Suggestions welcome!
Also, sorry not sorry, I was feeling giffy~
Tumblr media
“Faster!” You yell, a shriek threatening to escape your core.
“C’mon, Baby,” Dean prays through gritted teeth, both feet forcing the accelerator to the floor. The speedometer stops measuring past a hundred and twenty. You gulp as the RPMs reach past the point of no return.
“We’re not gonna make it, Dean,” Sam goes pale, breaths quick and shallow, voice breaking as he spoke his brother’s name.
In the rearview mirror, you can just make out beads of sweat tracing the concern lines on Dean’s forehead, a black abyss behind him. You grab onto Sam from the back seat, burying your face into his flannel. Dean’s string of curses is soon overpowered by the ghostly sounds emanating from the beasts on your tail.
The air is hot and electric, raising every hair on end. When you hear the crack, your blood runs cold.
This must be it, the end.
You stumble sleepily out of the slight motel bathroom and over to the coffee maker. Without so much as peeking, you masterfully load the grounds and water and press the magic button. Oh, how you love that button. Scratchy bedsheets stir behind you, but you pay no attention. A shadow of a smirk creeps across your face. The holy bean water is ready. You take the much-too-small Styrofoam cup with you to sit at the table by the window. Lifting the chalice of your soul to your lips, you inhale as if you’d been starved of oxygen all night. Your eyes gradually open, adjusting easily to the low light of the room. The sweet scent helps to knock the cobwebs from your mind, the warmth radiating from your palms to the depths of your bones.
What a week it’d been. But right now, you don’t want to think of the vamp nest or their victims. Right now, you revel in the tranquility. In the bed near the door, Sam is rubbing the sleep from his eyes, no doubt about to share some coffee with you at the table. On the couch, Dean’s limbs are sprawled in awkward positions, but he still snores gently.
Finally, a smile graces your lips as you watch Dean. He’s so peaceful. There’re no lines on his forehead or forlorn frown below his freckle dusted cheeks. You almost wish he could stay like that forever—at peace. You also wonder what it might be like to touch him, hold him. After the hunt and almost losing him, being more than a few inches away from the man actually hurts. You couldn’t imagine never again seeing those deep, loving eyes, or the way he sings in the car, or dances when he thinks no one is around.
Catching you just before you jump off the deep end into thoughts and memories of Dean, Sam finds his seat next to you. Trying to brush the obvious daydreaming off as nothing, you take a gulp of coffee, only to grimace in pain as it burns all the way down, leaving your upper lip and tongue tingling.
Sam chuckles. “You know it’s hot, right?”
“Yeah, thanks.” And so is something else in the room, you can’t help but to think to yourself.
You set the rude drink upon the table and stand to open the curtains. With a thrust, the stubborn things release and reveal the world outside.
“Oh, shit,” you gasp. You stare for a moment just to make sure your eyes aren’t deceiving you. You rub them. You stare a moment more, then rub them again. Red skies morning, sailors take warning.
You look over to Sam, your body rigid.
“What is it, Y/N?”
“Sam, check the weather. Now.”
As if on cue, Dean’s phone is the first to sound the alarm, shortly followed by yours and Sam’s.
“It’s a weather alert—severe storms coming,” Sam stood from the table to look outside as well.
Dean groans from the space behind you, “Well then let’s get a move on.”
You don’t even bother getting dressed, instead throwing one of Dean’s old flannels over your thin t-shirt and leggings. Just like your days in EMS, your boots and pack stand ready next to your bed.
Within a minute, everyone slides into the impala, coffee forgotten. As Dean pulls onto the highway, you and Sam map out the fastest way to get home to the bunker with the least amount of bad weather to drive through, looking for a place to stop for food if possible.
Around two hours in, the drive is going decently well, with only a few patches of hail and heavy rain. You begin to doze off to the comforting lull of the Impala and the Allman Brothers.
Your body betrayed you as it twitched violently. Still on edge after the hunt, you jump from the action, accidentally hitting Dean in the shoulder.
“You good?” He glances quickly in your direction, adjusting his hand on the wheel.
Heart beat loud in your ears, you lean back and return a quiet “yeah, I’m okay. Sorry.”
No rest for the wicked or the hunters, you suppose.
Dean hums along to the music. You are powerless watching the vibration of his neck, wondering what it might be like if your lips were to touch the spot where his pulse rippled the skin. You look down at your phone in an attempt to distract yourself.
Pulling up the weather app, you report the developing spot just up ahead. The brothers take note, then you lean against the window and watch the blur of pine forests and rolling fields. Even overcast, the landscape is breathtaking. You reminisce on your days in the back of the “bus,” what it was like when the tone would drop and in seconds you’d be flying down the road, lights and sirens, mentally preparing for the unknowns waiting for you on the scene. After ten years, there wasn’t much you hadn’t seen. This knowledge and wisdom helped but still couldn’t prepare you when a changeling become your patient.
You catch yourself, not wanting to remember the details of the attack, the ambulance rollover, or the death of your partner. You don’t want to imagine what would’ve happened if the Winchester boys hadn’t shone up when they did, or if you’d stayed in that town after the bodies were found.
Wiping an unwelcome tear from the corner of your eye, you refocus on the trees, enjoying their dances under the influence of wind lines.
Until one fell, bending until it snapped, twisting off halfway. Then another, and another.
“Uh, guys?” When had it gotten so dark? You check your phone for the time again. Almost three in the afternoon.
You don’t need to look behind you to know what it is. You don’t get the chance to tell Dean to floor it—he already is. You grip the seat tightly as the car lurches forward, shaking under the speed and the wind force.
Tumblr media
It’s as if an invisible giant is stepping down on the forest on both sides of the highway. Oncoming traffic has ceased, some people have already bailed from their cars, seeking scant shelter in the ditches. Leaves and branches now swirl through the sky, littering the road ahead. Dean takes the next exit, not slowing down a bit.
You are so close to the bunker now, but the echoes of the angry titan behind you threaten to devour the Impala before you even have a chance for safety. You hazard a glance behind you.
No more than a mile behind the racing car, the tornado swallows the whole world, preceded by the biggest cloud of debris you’ve ever seen.
“Faster!” You yell, a shriek threatening to escape your core.
“C’mon, Baby,” Dean prays through gritted teeth, both feet forcing the accelerator to the floor. The speedometer stops measuring after a hundred and twenty. You gulp as the RPMs reach past the point of no return.
“We’re not gonna make it, Dean,” Sam goes pale, breaths quick and shallow, voice breaking as he spoke his brother’s name.
In the rearview mirror, you can just make out beads of sweat tracing the concern lines on Dean’s forehead and the rotating black abyss behind him. You grab onto Sam from the back seat, burying your face into his flannel. Dean’s string of curses is soon overpowered by the ghostly sounds emanating from the beasts on your tail.
The air is hot and electric, raising every hair on end. When you hear the crack, your blood runs cold.
You are covered in glass from the back window, the wind sucking the breath from your lungs. Sam reaches over and pulls you into his lap, holding as tightly as your eyes are shut. Dean masterfully swerves in an out, dodging unknown obstacles and navigating winding roads.
You recognize these turns. The bunker!
Castiel is already perched at the edge of the garage when you open your eyes. Still at full speed, Dean swerves the car inside, causing it to slide sideways and leave thick rubber tracks. Castiel struggles against the wind and grabs Dean as he bails from Baby.
“I can’t close it! We have to take cover, now,” Cas yells over the train whistle screams of the tempest.
Not missing a beat, Sam grabs you and doesn’t even pause to set you down. The alarms in the bunker sound off, competing with the storm.
You all finally tumble through the door and slam it locked behind you. You grunt as your ears pop from the pressure change and rub your jaw.
Heavily breathing from the ordeal, the four of you trade nodding glances, indicating that everyone is okay.
You are the first to break the silence, shaking bits of glass from your shirts. “I need a drink.”
Castiel and Sam follow you down the steps, but stop to sit in the war room. Dean trails on your heels, also eager for a drink. You grab the bottle but keep walking, ready to be in your own bed already.
Dean protests. “Hey, you gonna share?”
“Sure, but you’ll have to follow me.”
Once in your room, you take a long draught from the already open bottle of whiskey, then turn and hand it to Dean.
“Close your eyes, Winchester.”
Dean does as told, bottle already suspended at his lips.
You pause for a moment to admire those lips and the way they purse when he swallows. It catches your breath but you turn away, stripping the glass-ridden clothes into a pile on the floor. You curse under your breath as you realize the clothes that other than the ones still in the car, the rest were in the laundry room, several wings down.
You grab a pillow to shield yourself just in time as Dean opens his eyes to see what the matter is. He apologizes quickly and turns away. “What’s wrong?”
“No clothes.”
Without hesitation, he shrugs the shirt from his shoulders and extends it in your direction.
“Thanks.” You are so glad that his eyes are still averted so he can’t see your red face, the blush stretching through your whole body. You quickly slip inside the shirt and bottom it, thankful that it reaches nearly to your knees. You pause at the collar, lifting it to your nose and nearly fall as the heady scent of him fills your senses. Dean, standing now, catches you just in time, closer to you than ever before. His hands rest gently at your sides, and he chuckles sweetly as he leans in to kiss your hair. The whiskey still warming your bones, you wrap your arms around him, interlocking your fingers and burying your face into his bare chest. He pulls you in tighter, squeezing.
The stress of almost losing him on the hunt to that fang and of nearly becoming flying sky trash slowly falls away within the shelter of his embrace. He leans onto the bed and back farther, taking you with him until you’re both under the blankets completely intertwined.
The dim light provided by a small lamp in the corner casts just enough shadow that you can count the freckles dusted on Dean’s cheeks and get lost in the hazel green folds of his eyes. Could this really be happening? Is the hunter you’d be pining for silently for over a year really holding you this closely—in your own bed?
Your breath mixes with his when he leans in even closer and brushes your lips with his. You close your eyes and relish in the warmth and comfort and safety of his arms, the softness and taste of his lips, stubble grazing your chin.
You can still perceive faint sounds of the raging storm outside, but you have no more fear. You pull away slightly to enjoy the sweet smile on Dean’s face until a passing shadow crosses it.
An elated “finally” can be heard near the doorway. Sam winks and closes the door, retreating footsteps resonating down the hall.
A new storm blooms in your core as you surrender yourself to the ease of being so close to Dean. Together, you trade secrets and promises in the intimate moments before slowly falling asleep to the comfort of his voice.
Red skies morning, sailors take warning. Red skies night, sailors delight.
With the red flashes of the bunker floodlights filling the air, you did certainly delight, safe at last. Any wreckage could wait until morning.

"Riley! Now!" Sam yelled as he, Dean, and Castiel fought off a group of demons.
"Exstirpo!" She screamed. There was a bright flash in the room, and every demon in the room was eradicated. The four let out a sigh of relief.
The woman sat down on the floor, drained from using so much of her power. Riley Greene came from an ancient blood-line of witches. When she was younger, her mother taught her how to control her powers and use them for good. She would heal injured birds and make beautiful flowers grow from dead bushes. Riley was a strong believer in natural magic, she never wanted to use sacrificial magic. She would usually tap into the power of her ancestors to get her fuel.
"You boys okay?" She asked, looking around.
"Yeah. Yeah, we're good." Sam nodded. "What about you?" Riley gave him a thumbs up.
"Can we get back to the bunker, please? I'm exhausted."
Sam pulled Riley to her feet, stumbling a bit. She had been feeling dizzy lately, and she had no idea why. Dean clapped her on the shoulder, giving her a smile. "Great work the spell, Riles. We couldn't have done it without you."
"Could you ever do anything without me?" She grinned. "You'd all be dead by now if it wasn't for me."
Dean didn't have a comeback for that statement, as it was fairly true. Riley had been hunting with the boys for six years now, ever since she had stumbled on the boys fighting a leviathan in an alleyway. Of course, the brothers were skeptical when they realized what she was. Hunters never really liked witches. Riley herself never particularly liked Hunters either, they were too cocky for her taste. Sam and Dean eventually warmed up to her over time, and even called on her to help them when they needed a witch.
After a while, Riley began to Hunt with them, as she didn't have anything left where she was at. Her mother was killed by a group of demons who were looking for some kind of spell for Crowley. Dean and Castiel became like brothers to Riley, while Sam was different. Whenever they would go out to the bar after a case, men would flirt with the young witch, and this irritated Sam greatly. After years of unrequited longing, the two finally got together.
The four limped their way back to the Impala, Sam and Riley taking the back seat while Castiel rode shotgun. The woman rested her head on Sam's shoulder, her eyes fluttering shut.
---
Riley doesn't remember being carried inside the bunker, but apparently she was, as she woke up in her shared bed with Sam. She gave him a sleepy smile. "Hey."
"Hey," He said, tucking a lock of black hair behind her ear. "You slept for a while. Are you feeling okay?"
Riley nodded as she yawned. "I'm fine Sam. After doing a big spell my magic needs time to recover, meaning I like to sleep. A lot. And eat, I'm starving."
Sam chuckled. "Okay, what do you want to eat?"
"A veggie burger sounds great. Ooh, add extra pickles."
Sam raised an eyebrow at her. "You hate pickles." Riley shrugged in response. "Alright, I'll be back in a bit. I love you." He said, kissing her on the forehead.
"I love you too." Sam slipped on his shoes before walking out of the room, leaving Riley by herself. She decided to pick up one of her many unread books and started reading. Right now, everything felt calm; Lucifer was back in the cage, Sam and Dean were safe, and Mary was back. However, they were still searching for Kelly Kline.
Riley couldn't really blame her for running. If she was in the same situation as Kelly, she would have no idea how to handle it. She had never given much thought to having children, as her and Sam never really talked about it. She also didn't see how her and Sam could ever raise children with their 'occupation.'
Riley clutched her stomach as it rumbled. She slammed her book shut and ran to the bathroom. She hurled the contents of her stomach into the toilet.
"Hey, Riles, have you seen my-" Dean's voice sounded from the doorway. "Riley!" He rushed to the woman, pulling her hair back. He rubbed her back soothingly as she continued to vomit. Once she was finished, Dean gave her a glass of water. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Dean gave her a look, meaning he didn't quite believe her. He pressed his palm to her forehead, searching for signs of a fever. He furrowed his eyebrows when he realized that she was cool. "Well, you don't have a fever, so that rules out the flu. Food poisoning?" Dean suggested.
"Probably. After all, you always make us eat crappy fast food." Dean rolled his eyes at the woman.
"You might wanna brush your teeth, cuz your breath reeks." Riley shoved his shoulder, grinning as she stood up. "Anyways, have you seen my magazines anywhere?"
She rolled her eyes. "Get out." Dean nodded, making his way out the door.
Riley climbed back into bed, wrapping herself in blankets. She had no idea why she was still so tired; she had slept for hours.
When Sam got back, he found Riley curled up in one of his flannels, looking very comfortable. He handed her the bag of food as he climbed in bed next to her.
Riley happily ate her veggie burger and french fries, which she didn't ask for but Sam knew she loved them.
Once she was finished, she cuddled into Sam's side. She didn't know why, but she just wanted his attention. He ran his hand though her hair, which put the woman at ease. She eventually fell asleep again, which slightly worried Sam. He knew that she would get tired after preforming a strong spell, but she had been sleeping almost all day.
Riley turned over, trying to find a better sleeping position, which allowed Sam to quietly slip out of the room. He decided to go voice his concerns to his brother. "Hey," Sam said, leaning against the door frame of Dean's room. "Has Riley seemed off to you today?"
"Well, yeah. She was throwing up earlier." Dean shrugged. Seeing Sam's worried look, he added, "It's probably food poisoning." Sam nodded, releasing a breath of air. Even though Dean attempted to sooth Sam's woes, he was still concerned for Riley.
---
"Oh crap." Riley whispered. "This cannot be happening." She looked down at the three positive pregnancy tests. She closed her eyes, breathing in sharply. "Damnit!" She yelled, throwing the sticks at the wall.
Castiel came running into the bathroom, worried that she had hurt herself. "Riley? What's wrong?" The woman crouched down quickly picking up the pregnancy tests.
"Nothing's wrong, Cas, I'm fine." She choked on her tears.
"You're not fine, Riley. You're clearly upset. Why are you crying?" Castiel gently rested his hands on her arms. Her bottom lip wobbled as more tears streamed down her face. The angel frowned as he brought her in for a hug. "What's going on, Riley?"
She didn't answer for a few moments as she continued to sob. "I'm pregnant."
"Is that a bad thing?" Castiel asked.
"I don't know Cas!" Riley sniffed. "Sam and I never talked about it, we-we never even entertained the thought. We're Hunters, Castiel! We can't raise a baby. I mean we just locked Lucifer back up in the cage! What if someone is able to get him out again? I can't let a child be raised in this world where friggin' demons walk the earth pretending to be everyday people! I can't - I can't be a mother!"
"Riley, Riley, hey, I need you to calm down, okay. Just breath." She nodded, drying the tears from her face. "You need to talk to Sam about this, he'll want to know. Everything will be okay."
"W-what if I lose Sam? What if we want different things and we drift apart? I can't lose him, Cas. I love him so much."
"Riley, you're not going to lose him. I'm sure whatever you chose, Sam will back you up 100%, and if he doesn't, then he'll have me to deal with." Riley giggled at the thought of Castiel threatening Sam.
"Thanks, Cas. I really needed someone to talk to. I just don't have anyone to talk to about being a parent. My parents are dead, and none of us really have any clue how to raise a kid. Except for maybe Dean when he was with Ben and Lisa."
"And even then I wasn't Dad of the Year." A voice said from the doorway, causing Riley to jump. Dean. "Sorry, Riles. I didn't mean to eavesdrop."
She sighed as she looked at the man. "How much of that did you hear?"
"Most of it. Don't worry, I won't tell Sam." He assured her. "But you do need to tell him. And soon. Because if you keep it from him, it won't make things easier."
Riley nodded. "Where is he now?"
"At the store, stocking up of food." Dean informed her.
Riley was saddened to hear that Castiel had to leave, seeing as he was still searching for Kelly Kline. So that left her and Dean alone in the bunker. She voiced her concerns to the man about being a mother, and if Sam even wanted the baby.
"Riley, you are the most nurturing person I have ever met." Dean told her. "I know that if you and Sam do decide to keep the baby, you will be a great mother."
"I'm just so scared, Dean. We're Hunters, we could never give that up, and I don't want to leave this baby an orphan if something were to happen to us."
Dean gave her a small smile. "There is a friggin village here that will take care of them is something ever happens." Riley laughed, knowing it was true.
"Hey guys!" A voice said from the kitchen. "I'm back!" Riley suddenly tensed up at the sound of Sam's voice.
Dean rested a hand on her shoulder. "Everything's gonna be fine, Riles." Sam gave him a confused look as he appeared in the doorway. "If you upset her, I'll break your jaw." He said, patting his little brother on the back as he exited the room.
Sam's confusion deepened. "Riley, what's going on? Are you okay?"
"I guess that kinda depends on how you react to what I'm about to tell you." She mumbled, picking at her nails.
"You're kind of making me nervous, Riles. What is it?"
"I'm pregnant." Sam grew wide-eyed as he stared at his girlfriend. He stayed silent for a while. "Please say something." She pleaded.
Sam sat down next to Riley and grabbed her hand. "What do you want to do?" He asked. "Because whatever you decide, I will stand by your decision."
"I-I want to keep the baby." She told him.
Sam's smile grew wide as he tackled Riley in a hug. She squealed in surprise. "We're having a baby!" Sam said as he kissed her. "I'm so happy." Riley could see tears welling up in his eyes.
"Oh, Sammy." She whispered as she wiped away a tear. "I love you so much."
Sam mumbled and 'I love you,' as he buried his head in the crook of her neck. Riley felt tears on her skin.
"So you guys are keeping the baby then?" Dean asked from the doorway. He always seemed to be lurking around the bunker.
"We are." Riley confirmed.
Dean clapped his hands together, a wide smile in his face. "I'm gonna be an uncle!" He looked over to his little brother. "And you're gonna be a dad. How are you feeling, Sammy?"
"How's he feeling?" Riley asked incredulously. "I'm the one that has to carry the baby around for nine months." The men cracked a smile at that.
"Okay, I'll bite." Sam said. "How are you feeling?"
"Nauseous. Definitely nauseous."
