#dean having this notion of “i don't wanna fall in love again. ive got mine” whenever people at the garage think he needs setting up

[magdaclaire]

fic where after cas's confession and death, dean talks to him all the time when he's alone. just updates him on jack's goings on (bc jack stayed w his parents TO ME). he develops a life, gets a job, meets new people, and all the time he's just tellin cas about his day whenever he can, tellin him all the gossip at the garage, what new exercise routine sammy is putting himself through now, how eileen is settling in. and the people at the garage know about cas. not that he's dead, but that he's the great love of dean's life or whatever, not that he'd ever put it that way. it's just all over his face. learning to live a simple life. moving out of the bunker. planting a garden. tellin cas when his tomatoes are comin up good, how the mint is bein a little rascal, trying to spread to the other plantin pots, all of it. he lights a candle on september 18th. it's years before cas comes back
