It only upsets Dean's comfortable routine a little bit when Claire's illustrious uncle moves down to Norfolk to run his airfield. That is, until he meets his new boss face to face and can barely make words happen. Cas isn't doing much better, even if he knows exactly what he'd say to Dean if only he weren't Dean's commanding officer...

Test pilot instructor Cas (who's afraid of boats) ran from his Air Force family to join the Navy, Dean ran from his Marine Corps father to work on airplanes for the Navy— just as long as he doesn't have to fly in one, he's fine. They've met in the middle, but also in an impossible circumstance. It seems as if the one thing they want is something they can't have.

Unless solving one impossible mystery could free them...

Length: 10,110 words

Tags: Cas is a Mess, Cas Tries, Supportive Dean, Jack's Birthday :0, Cas Does Not Understand, Jack is a Winchester, Cas is also a Winchester

Summary: Dean should be used to Cas asking weird questions by now, but he is not expecting Cas to approach him one day to say he needs to know everything about children's birthday parties ASAP. Maybe he should've expected it given what a dork Cas is, but in his defense, Jack isn't exactly kid-shaped…

(Or Cas tries to throw Jack a birthday party, Dean tries to keep anything from exploding, and they both only kind of succeed.)

Summary:

Yanked to 1814 England, Sam, Dean and Cas have no idea how or why they ended up there. While they try to solve the mystery of their time travel to Jane Austen Land, a body lands in front of their feet. Ghosts, demons — nothing seems to add up when some old friends appear. But Dean and Cas barely pay attention. After all, there’s an unresolved confession to deal with, and the setting is undoubtedly very romantic.

Read the full story on AO3!

Artist note:

This was a delightful read and like the summary said, a perfect setting to address those feelings we got from 15x18! I recommend this story if you want that post “Despair” conversation in a wonderful setting! It was a joy to illustrate for this fic and I hope you enjoy it!

Keep reading for a sneak preview!

Dean arrived at work bright and early the next morning, expecting to have a little time to get ready before Captain Castiel Novak was expected to make a general inspection with Rufus in advance of handing over the reins to him. Unfortunately for Dean, he was a little too late for that. He walked into his office to find Rufus sitting in his chair, having a cup of his coffee. That in itself wasn’t surprising, but the fact he was sharing a cup while having a chat with the illustrious and storied Captain Novak was. He was so entirely caught off guard he almost forgot to salute as Rufus got to his feet.

“Chief Winchester, we weren’t expecting you in for another half hour or so,” Rufus said as Captain Novak stood up and turned around to be introduced and saluted. Dean was grateful to Rufus for babbling on for a bit before getting to business, because the second Dean saw the man’s face he lost the power of speech. “Captain Novak wanted to know where to get the best cup of coffee on base, so of course I led him straight to your office. Captain Castiel Novak, this is Chief Petty Officer Dean Winchester, mechanic extraordinaire and keeper of primo coffee beans.”

Dean managed another salute, which Novak returned.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Chief Winchester,” Castiel said, looking just as knocked off balance as he shook himself off as Dean felt. “I understand we’ll be working closely together.”

Since Dean was standing there rather dumbly nodding back at him, Rufus broke the tension by clearing his throat and sitting back down at Dean’s desk.

“Captain Novak will be shadowing me for the next few days, and then taking over full time by the end of next week,” Rufus said. “Though I’m sure you don’t need me teaching you the ropes on how an airfield runs.”

Novak let out a little huff of a laugh at that. “Hopefully not. Though it is a new working environment, and the transition can be difficult for everyone involved. It’s well known you’re a beloved leader to your crew, and filling those shoes is never easy. Though the excellent coffee doesn’t hurt,” he added, taking his seat and toasting Dean with his cup.

Dean just stood there looking at Novak’s shoes before finally shaking himself off and noticing the apologetic smile on his new boss’s face falter just a little. Novak glanced at Rufus before looking back at Dean.

“I hope we haven’t overstepped, invading your space like this…”

“No, sir. My door is always open for anyone who needs it,” Dean finally managed, starting to feel like a human being and not a walking x-ray scan. Novak was still staring at him, though, and he knew he must be making a terrible impression. He pulled himself together and stood up a little straighter. “Even if they just need a decent cup of joe.”

“Well, Winchester, since you’re here, would you mind going through morning inspection with the Captain?” Rufus asked, after it was clear that Dean and Cas would otherwise just continue to stare at each other if left to their own devices.

Dean was doubly grateful that he’d already stopped for breakfast on his way in and hadn’t brought it with him to eat at his desk. He dropped his gear bag beside his desk and grabbed the inspection roster off the shelf beside the door.

“Ready when you are, Captain. One fifty cent tour, coming right up.”

Sam’s words hit home. Dean starts to wonder and watches Cas. Paying closer attention, he sees things, little hints that give him hope and make him bolder.

But when he finally flirts with Cas and receives reciprocation, he panics and flees. Cas finds him hiding in the bathroom. With the door between them, they begin to talk. Cas mentions a promise Dean once made: He wouldn’t die a virgin.

When they finally seal the deal, it’s too good to be true. Cas is fully powered, and happy.

It’s a dream, or isn’t it?

Preview: All of a sudden, Dean’s entire body tingled, and he swallowed when he felt Cas’ gaze focusing on him. Every time Cas looked at him, it felt like hovering next to a live wire. The hairs on his body stood up, and something prickled inside him.

It shouldn’t be possible, but it felt like remnants of Grace reacted to Cas whenever the angel turned his attention towards him. Sweat started to rise on Dean’s forehead, and he stared at the faded pages of the book in front of him while heat rushed through him.

Tracing the lines with his index finger and trying to focus on the blurry words before his eyes, Dean heard footsteps. They were walking towards him, and for a moment he forgot how to breathe. He could feel Cas’ proximity, and he was sure Cas felt the same.

Unable to evade Cas’ gaze any longer, Dean lifted his head, just to find his best friend watching him closely. Dean bit his bottom lip, and Cas’ eyes followed the movement.

Unbidden, Sam’s words rushed back to Dean’s mind. He couldn’t do anything to stop it, especially with Cas’ eyes firmly focused on his lips.

“Like what you see?” Dean quipped, thankful that his voice didn’t give out. He felt less confident than he tried to make Cas believe.

But of course, Cas was Cas. Tilting his head, he nodded before his eyes lifted just enough to gaze into Dean’s. “Yes, I like it very much.”

A shudder ran down Dean’s spine and he swallowed. Cas’ words didn’t need to mean anything. Maybe, Cas just liked lips, any lips, not only his.

Which would mean— Dean blinked. Shit! Cas never— Dean would have noticed if Cas had stared at Sam’s lips with the same intensity, as he seemed to watch his. And not just Sam’s lips, everyone else’s too.

Dean stared at Cas as if he looked at him for the first time. It felt as if he saw him in a new light. It just— It couldn’t be. Cas never—

Dean’s heartbeat raced. He could feel it beating up to his neck. Goosebumps erupted all over his body, and sweat started to rise on his forehead.

Jumping up, Dean stumbled back. His chair crashed to the floor, but it didn’t stop his retreat. “I— Sorry, I—I gotta go.

Dean’s a bit surprised to see Cas in the bar because as a demon he could sense Castiel, Angel of the Lord, some distance away. After all, they have a profound bond...and, as a demon, Dean’s finally not afraid to admit it. And perhaps that's ultimately all they need to bring together Heaven, Hell, and humanity, as long as they can get Sam on board.
