Author: Maxine 

Artist: gloomyinks

When Cas did his big confession and returned from the Empty, things were not going as well as they could have. Cas came back without either his wings or memory of said confession. After days of lies, Dean finally told him the truth and accepted his own love for Cas. 

Two months on, they’re still disasters. It seems that love isn’t all that you need to successfully be in a relationship, and that Dean’s lies might have had a deeper impact on Cas than he previously thought. When Sam goes missing on a hunt, followed by Jack, Dean and Cas are forced to confront their issues while desperately trying to keep their family alive.

Due to a schedule change, there’s no pining today!

As you can see, Cas is taking full advantage of this pine-free day by making an uncharacteristically direct attempt at getting some smooches from Dean.

While they're occupied with that, this is a great chance for the rest of us to catch up on the pine so far -- as well as leave some comments for the authors and artists whose work we've enjoyed!

You can find this year's collection here on Ao3, or check the links to the first 27 masterposts under the cut. The team originally scheduled to post today will now be sharing their work with us all on Saturday March 25, and you can find their preview post here.
