Supernatural 9x06//Heaven Can't Wait

I just wanted to make my own.... cuz I can. 🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥

[supernaturalsidepiece]

Not only was the "Cas wait. I can't let you do this" THE queerbate of all time but all of this in general... like how?

This episode is insane. Like, yes, it could be read that Cas is talking about being rejected by the girly he's babysitting for... but what's the terror or pain?

What. Else. Could. He. Be. Realising. Here. Huh?

Insane. Like then?! What? the actors were like stop saying these hoes are gay?! I'm... that's Insane.

That's barely even subtext that's so on the nose I can't... I'd have smashed a rock through someone's window with just these parts of the script on it.

Remember s9 human Cas how he got stuck being Nora's babysitter and sang the baby rock ballads? How he held this child, so carefully and gently, never leaving them alone, checking for fever and only calling Nora when he actually tried cooling them down and monitoring their temperature without improvement.

Such a fragile, precious life in the hands of an angel who had lost everything.

How did he know how to care for a baby?

Maybe he had looked at human mothers, when he had been begging on the streets. Castiel never had a mother, or gentleness. So the way, mother's would care for their children would always grab his attention.

Maybe he'd hung about construction sites, where the workers would listen to the rock-centered radio channel Dean would always tune in to. Maybe for the first time Castiel had bothered to learn the words.

Who wants a miserable little deancas fic where they make out in the car during Heaven Can't Wait? Well I've good news for you! I just wrote one.

Here's a little teaser:

Cas doesn't startle when Dean starts to undo the top buttons of his shirt, but he does tense. His fingers come up to touch the back of Dean's hand.

"Dean." Cas says, with warning in his voice, but he doesn't stop him.

"You're too..." buttoned up, is the intention, but it doesn't come out, "You..."

"What am I?"

Dean grips his shirt in a fist and pulls him in. Kisses him. Soft in the mouth but weighted deliberately, undeniable, powerful, like pressing on a deep bruise.

It’s only a queen-size bed, but the distance between their bodies feels as wide and treacherous as the Grand Canyon. Tentatively, Castiel inches his good hand out into the empty space. He’s careful not to reach past the invisible halfway point, not to take what does not belong to him. The heater kicks on, its fan filling the motel room with a low, droning note. Outside, the hum of the highway. The buzz of neon. It creates a dissonant chord that resonates in his molars. After a moment, the blankets jostle slightly as Dean’s hand extends out towards the middle of the bed. Their pinky fingers touch, just barely. A pinprick of warmth amidst the cold expanse of the sheets. Something like the beginning of a smile graces Castiel’s lips. He’s glad for the lack of light, that it is not witnessed. The heater shuts off, and the silence it leaves makes the room seem to stretch out, endless, encompassing. Outside, rhythmic, toneless bass, thumping out the suggestion of a beat, pouring thick from the subwoofer of a car driving through the parking lot. The edges of the curtains glow white, then red, headlights and taillights sweeping past. Further away, the engine cuts, the music disappearing abruptly with it. The room fades back to darkness, quiet. Pinky fingers touching. Here, the world beyond feels a million miles away. Here, sanctuary. It could be ten minutes or two hours before Dean speaks, his voice little more than a whisper, sweet and warm and sorrowful as honey whiskey. “I still pray to you, sometimes.”

oh the deep emotions brought out by rewatching 9x06

[vaicomcas]

To summarize a bunch of long self rb streams of consciousness into a slightly more concise story.

AU idea: instead of Jack the Nephilim in post season 12, Cas gets a Nephilim child in Season 9 (baby Tanya), and finds himself through the love for his child much earlier. Crowley gets a celestial daughter who is not ungrateful like Amara. Also Crowstiel. And hellhound Juliet.

AU starting from S9e6 Heaven Can't Wait. No Dean, just Cas working in Gas-n-sip, babysitting Tanya. A bunch of Malachi's angel thugs came to abduct her, because she turned out to be a Nephilim, and they wanted to enslave her and harvest her power. They captured Cas as well, and similar to "Holy Terror", Cas escaped by killing Theo, taking his grace, and rescuing baby Tanya.

He brings baby Tanya back to Nora who of course was not the birth mother but the sister of the birth mother who died in childbirth. Nora was not a very good mother because this responsibility was forced on her. But she had a redemption arc where she felt genuinely guilty after Tanya had been aducted, realized she loved the baby after all. When Cas brought her back she asked for Cas' protection because the Nephilim will continue to be hunted.

Cas agreed and they went into hiding. Then baby Tanya was taken by Crowley who wanted to raise her in hell so he can access her tremendous potential power, much like his plans for Amara in the show. But instead of the ungrateful Amara, baby Tanya was just a sweet baby, and responded to Crowley's care with affection, and he became legit fond of her.

Cas marched into hell to rescue Tanya, and fought with Crowley and his demons. Tanya was confused and freightened and lashed out with her power, and it was so intense it broke the cage and Lucifer got out. So Lucifer now saw how powerful the Nephilim was and decided to take her and drain her grace to feed himself because he had been weakened by the cage (but still very powerful).

Cas fought Lucifer to save Tanya and was losing badly when Crowley joined the fight, risking his own life, much as in "rock never dies". Cas saw that Crowley genuinely cared about Tanya. Together they managed to rescue Tanya and escape from Lucifer.

Cas and Crowley had a heart-to-heart and Cas let go of his resentment and prejudice against Crowley. They go on the run from Lucifer together: Cas, Crowley, Nora, Tanya, and hellhound Juliet. In Castiel's continental.

The angel, the demon and the reformed human mother raised baby Tanya together. The Nephilim learned angel powers from Cas, hell's magic from Crowley. She also took on Castiel's kindness, and Crowley's cunning. Nora gave her experiences of a normal human child. She had a best friend in hellhound Juliet.

Just like Jack, this powerful Nephilim child had three parents. But zero out of 3 parents tried to extract her grace, or lock her in a box, or kill her.

They still have a lot of problems. Metatron and the angel factions were still wreaking havoc. Cas was still dying slowly from stolen grace. On the side Dean still got Mark of Cain which was ominous. But for a period of time Cas and Crowley had a happy family together.

by a somewhat roundabout route, i just finished reading this little series of two fics, and i would like to recommend it

the roundabout route, in case anyone else would like to enjoy them too, was via re reading Nnm's demonology fic (crowley goes to trauma therapy) because their new one is aziraphale going to therapy, and checking out everything on the Inspired By list at the end of demonology.

here's hoping putting two links in a post doesn't automatically set off tumblr's defense mechanisms.

keep an eye on baby birch because i'd hate to see her make the same mistake

some blueberry pie life: chapter 24

title from Baby Birch by Joanna Newsom

notes ↓

April, 1992

references the moment in 3.08 when Sam finds John's journal and Dean has to explain about hunting

October, 1992

I've always felt Dean would do whatever it took to keep Sam from hunting as long as he could so this is how I always read that phone call from the flashback in 11.08

John saying Sam doesn't have the same drive or instinct to hunt is compiled from some sentiments from the John's journal entries

July, 1991

This restaurant in PA exists and I have had a bad time there as a kid. Couldn't help myself from including it I guess.

I think it would be better for everyone if I were to be left alone in the future. Don't you?
