All For You Part 2
A sequel to this one shot!
After the Angel and Renegade team up, it’s like the floodgates open wide for the Superhero draft. Queen of Moons joins the good fight. Blonde Blade jumps out of the woodwork. Vampirate, the Prophet, Rowena – no superhero name, no last name either. 
Cas bemusedly supervises as Dean fulfills his longtime dream of his own superhero lair. Sam just shakes his head.
Queen of Moons, the techie of the group, outfits them with state-of-the-art computers and cloaking.
Blonde Blade, their unofficial armorer, provides all the practice gear they could need to spar and hone their skills. She also wipes their asses with everything from bo staffs to pool noodles.
Rowena conjures several bottles of booze that never seem to run out. Vampirate supplies 18th century glassware.
All in all, a good setup in Dean’s book. They have a place to drink, commiserate, and party. Somewhere away from the nightmare city they’ve all chosen to live in and occasionally save from total annihilation. 
Sam strikes up a thing with Rowena (that Dean heartily and vocally disapproves of) and starts hanging around more regularly, and the ’Gade Cave really becomes Dean’s second home. 
“Alright,” Blonde Blade says as the late night news report replays footage of their latest fight with Crossroads. “Next time I see Crowley, I’m gonna punch him right in his smug little face.”
“Not if I get there first,” Renegade says cheerfully, raising his beer. Around the table, a few others raise their drinks.
The Angel just glowers from his chair, his glowing eyes narrowed into slits.
The Prophet, who volunteered to record the battle debrief, the freak, shakes his head from behind his computer screen. “I told you going for his left flank was a mistake.”
Renegade protests, “I saw an opening and I took it!”
“I saw you seeing it, and I told you it would be a bad idea,” the Prophet says darkly. “But does anybody ever listen to the guy at HQ?”
“Dearie, you have to speak up more,” Rowena titters, lounging in her chair like a throne. In one hand, she delicately holds a glass of scotch, her wide bell sleeves pooled around her elbow, showing off a pale, slender forearm.
The Prophet rolls his eyes. “Cassandra never had it this bad,” he mutters.
“She had none of your charm,” Rowena assures him. “Nobody listened to her because she was an annoying Trojan twit, not because of some blasted prophecy.”
“Thanks,” the Prophet says sourly.
“Renegade will listen to you next time,” the Angel assures the Prophet.
“Renegade will probably listen to you,” Renegade corrects as the Angel turns his laser glare on him.
But that’s the trouble with the Prophet’s visions. For a guy who’s made a superhero career of seeing the future, he’s pretty shitty at it. The last time Renegade acted on one of his tips, they found the right safehouse, but the Prophet neglected to warn them about the fifty bajillion booby traps guarding the place. Vampirate nearly got his leg clean blown off, and the Angel came home unfortunately singed around the feathers.
“Change the channel to something else, chief,” Vampirate says wearily. “We were all there. We saw what went down.”
Queen of Moons eagerly snatches the remote out of Renegade’s slack grip. “On it!” she chirps as she flips through shows at the speed of light.
Blonde Blade grins. “Hey, wait!”
Queen of Moons wrinkles her nose, the fabric of her domino mask scrunching up. “Seriously?” she asks as she presses the back button.
On the screen, a celebrity gossip piece transitions into some fashion police segment.
“It’s a guilty pleasure,” Blonde Blade sniffs.
“Dude,” Renegade frowns.
“Don’t dude me,” Blonde Blade says as she points the remote, weapon-like, in his face. 
As she could no doubt kill him with it in under five minutes, Renegade holds up his hands in a gesture of surrender. He’s man enough to admit it. 
Blonde Blade smirks. “I saw you watching Dr. Sexy last week – you’ve got no room to judge, Tin Can Man.”
Renegade cuts off his retort as the TV host says, “Dean Winchester, of course, always looking stunning –”
Internally, Renegade groans. He averts his gaze from his own smiling face.
“ – in Georgio Armani at the International Otter Adoption Charity gala.”
“Armani, really?” the co-host asks playfully as Renegade scowls behind his helmet.
The host turns to her, his expression aghast. “Yes, Armani. You don’t believe he looks absolutely good enough to eat? Really, Alicia?”
Alicia shrugs. “Armani suits are flashy without actually being flashy. They’re the epitome of the safe option.”
“I don’t know how we’re related,” the host says with a sad shake of his head. “Fine, since Dean doesn’t satisfy, how about his husband? How does Castiel Winchester rank in Christian Siriano?” 
A picture flashes on screen, of Cas looking handsome as fuck on the red carpet. 
“It’s a bit much for me,” the host continues.
Alicia rolls her eyes. “I love it. The cape is so whimsical, and there’s actually a light feather pattern on the inside, a beautiful detail. And while the cape might be a bold choice, the suit itself is pretty tame. Balance, you know?”
The Angel rustles in his seat, adjusting his posture to anybody but Dean, who knows Cas is secretly pleased as fruit fucking punch. The son of a bitch.
“It’s growing on me,” Max admits. “However, I will never forgive Garth Fitzgerald for his crimes against fashion. Did he borrow that hat from Bjork?”
“Bess looks amazing, though.”
“Alright,” Blonde Blade says over Max’s noises of agreement, “Fuck, marry, kill. Dean Winchester, Garth Fitzgerald, and, I dunno,” she taps her chin in thought, “Meg Masters.”
Dean slumps over in his chair. Jesus Christ, just kill him now.
The Angel chokes on nothing and just barely manages to turn his ugly hacks of shock into a polite cough.
Renegade glares at him.
Blonde Blade starts, “Me –” 
God, she’d better choose to kill him. 
“– I’d fuck Dean, marry Garth, and kill Meg.”
“But Garth and Bess are so adorable,” Queen of Moons objects. “You’d want to homewreck that?”
“Garth has so much love in his blessed little southern heart,” Blonde Blade says, grinning, “I bet there’s room for one more. And all the gossip says Dean’s great in the sack.”
The Angel’s mouth purses, in a way that better fucking be agreement. Under the table, Renegade kicks him to stay silent.
“Seriously, have you seen his –”
Renegade interrupts loudly, “Does anyone want another round?”
The Angel stands up without a word and pointedly walks in the direction of the kitchen. Coward.
Blonde Blade asks, “How about you, Queenie?”
“I’d fuck Meg, obviously,” Queen of Moons says, tossing her long red hair behind her shoulder. “Penises give me anxiety in the bedroom.”
Vampirate snorts.
Queen of Moons continues, “I’d probably marry –”
Garth fucking Fitzgerald, for the love of all that is holy, say Garth.
“– Dean, and kill Garth.”
Shit.
Eyes sparkling, Queen of Moons cheerfully explains, “It’d be a lavender marriage, of course, but if I even got half of his fortune, I’d dump a boatload cash on every queer charity in the city, rescue all the goddamn orphans – Batman style, you know – and, just for the fun of it, sue the pants off Dick Roman.”
Actually, that’s not such a bad idea. If only Cas wouldn’t smite her into a soot stain for trying to put a ring on it.
Well, not every orphan. A couple, definitely, if Cas was up for it. And probably once they retired from the whole death-defying-side-gig thing.
“Kill Garth, really?” Blonde Blade asks, eyebrows raised.
“He has a quarter of Dean’s net worth,” Queen of Moons says, frowning. “I’d make it quick and painless, though.” She looks up as The Angel returns, a full glass of whiskey in hand, complete with a neon blue crazy straw. “How about you, Angel?”
“We’re still playing this game?” the Angel asks in a bored voice as he sets the drink in front of Renegade.
Dean mutinously picks up the glass and sucks at the straw. If Cas really cared about him, he’d fly Dean straight to Bora Bora instead of making him a stupid drink.
“Me,” Rowena chimes in, uninvited, as she usually does, “I’d fuck Dean, marry Meg, and kill Garth.”
Renegade’s mouth falls open. “But you’re - you’re already banging his brother!” He gives a full-body shudder of revulsion.
“And while he’s quite,” Rowena pauses as Dean resists the urge to barf, “ adept in the bedroom, who hasn’t dreamed of being in the middle of two strapping young men?”
If Dean could drown himself in his drink, he would. But Cas only filled it with two fingers worth, and his badass superhero helmet would get in the way.
“Uh, me?” Queen of Moons says, pointing at herself. “Although, I have seen very cute pictures of him and his husband. He seems like an A+ cuddler. I wouldn’t mind being in the middle of that G-rated sandwich.”
The Angel barely muffles his laugh behind his hand, and Dean barely refrains from punching said husband right in his glowy face.
Blonde Blade turns to him eagerly. “Alright, angel cake, what’re your two cents?”
The Angel glances ever so briefly at Renegade, and Dean’s stomach sinks. He’d better not say he’d rather fuck Meg.
“If you must know,” he says in a long-suffering voice, “I would fuck Dean –”
Thank god.
“ – marry Dean, and kill Meg.”
Well, that’s not exactly unexpected. It’s almost sweet. Trust Cas to stick to honesty even now.
Blonde Blade narrows her eyes. “That’s not how you play this game.”
“That is my answer.”
Blonde Blade sighs. “You can’t marry and fuck Dean Winchester.”
The Angel’s eyebrows fly up his forehead. “I believe that’s what most marriages entail, actually.”
Vampirate snorts. “He’s got you there, Blondie.”
“Fine,” Blonde Blade throws her hands in the air and turns to Renegade. “You’ve been suspiciously silent, Iron Can.”
“I don’t want to play this game.”
Blonde Blade stares at him with legitimate shock. “Since when?”
“Since always.”
Eyebrows rising in disbelief, she continues, “Alright, since someone’s canned goods have clearly been contaminated with botulism, how about you, VP?”
Vampirate leans back in his chair, contemplating the question. “Fuck Meg, marry Garth, and kill Dean.”
Finally. At least Dean has one decent friend among this bunch. Really, is it so hard to find a single person here who doesn’t want to fuck his brains out or bind him in holy matrimony?
“Seriously?” Blonde Blade says, disappointed.
“I like morally gray brunettes,” Vampirate says with a shrug. “And I know Garth can appreciate a good old fashioned bourbon pecan pie –”
“So can Dean,” the Angel says sharply.
Renegade turns to him, surprised to see the actual anger gathering in the set of his mouth and squint of his eyes. 
Queen of Moons blinks. “Woah.”
“Someone struck a nerve, it seems?” Rowena titters.
“Oh my god,” Blonde Blade gasps, “do you have a crush on Dean Winchester?”
The Angel swallows, his gaze darting around the table, lingering half a second too long on Renegade. “Of course I do,” he says.
Dean closes his eyes in horror.
“He’s one of the most upstanding members of society,” the Angel starts, and this is so much worse than Dean pictured. “He regularly gives to charity. He supports grassroots politics. He cares enormously for this city, a city that chooses to pick apart his fashion choices and resurface his teenage antics instead of extolling his many virtues.”
“Cas,” Dean murmurs, so quietly only the Angel would pick up on it, “Shut your goddamn pie hole.”
He feels more than sees Cas roll his eyes, since Cas’s entire eye socket shines brightly with his inner light. Like a lava lamp turned up to eleven.
Vampirate whistles. “I wonder if Dean knows he has a secret superhero admirer.”
Dean scowls. Yes, he very much does know this.
The Angel’s wings flutter in anticipation. “And you all are just talking about him,” his voice lowers dangerously, “like he’s a piece of meat or simply a bank account to do what you will, like he has no mind of his own –”
“Fine,” Renegade interrupts, slamming his fist down on the table. The glasses all rattle. “Fuck Garth. Marry Meg. Kill Dean. Happy? Can we please change the subject?”
“You’d kill Dean as well?” the Angel asks, in a stupidly wounded sort of voice.
Dean’s gonna kill him too if he keeps this up.
The Angel’s wings puff up like an angry emu. “But he –”
“You son of a bitch,” Dean yanks his helmet off to yell at Cas properly. “It’s just a stupid game, alright? I know what everyone thinks of me. That’s on purpose, dumbass. It’s so nobody puts two-and-two together and gets one super secret superhero identity. Like I’ve told you a million goddamn times, it doesn’t matter. People are gonna talk no matter what you do.”
Silence reigns.
Rowena is the first to recover. She nearly doubles over in her seat, cackling like the witch she is.
“What the fuck,” Blonde Blade murmurs as Queen of Moons goes white as a sheet.
Vampirate says nothing, but his gaze ping pongs from Dean to the Angel and back again, calculating.
“You’re Dean Winchester,” The Prophet screeches. “You - you paid for my college scholarship!”
Dean just sighs and slumps back in his seat. Wordlessly, he picks up his glass and drains it.
The second silence is even more deafening than the first.
“Well, isn’t this awkward,” Rowena says unhelpfully, like she didn’t suggest a threesome with him and his brother ten minutes ago.
Dean ignores her.
“You didn’t have to do that, Dean,” the Angel tells him quietly.
He shrugs. “I was planning on it anyway. Just… not right now.”
“I’ll say,” Rowena says in carrying undertone as she glances between them curiously. “You knew about him?” she asks the Angel.
He gives a single clipped nod.
Vampirate drawls, “It would be hard to keep a secret like that from one’s spouse.”
Smiling slightly, Dean toasts him with his empty glass. He always liked Vampirate best – after the Angel, of course.
With this brand-spanking new revelation, the Prophet looks like he’s about to faint. “So you’re…” he drifts off, apparently unable to finish his sentence.
Queen of Moons turns to him, her expression quizzical. “You didn’t see this one coming?”
“Maybe I actually suck at this,” the Prophet says, horrified.

Was browsing someone's Pinterest and they had a board simply labeled "gender" with just 4 pictures of 4 characters in it. 1 was of some goth musician, and two were of Will Graham and Castiel The Angel. The one that stuck out to me the most was this pic of Alfred Molina as Doc Ock in Spiderman 2.

from the inbox, #14
Tumblr media
It's been some time since I answered some asks from our inbox. Here's some quick answer with links to our Tags Page.
I was wondering if y'all have any time loop recs. Just wondering if there's anything out there in that vein
The first fic that comes to mind is Second Verse, Same as the First by oatmeal_queen. This is a classic Groundhog day fic. We also have #meddling!gabriel tag and some in some fics Gabriel traps Dean and Cas in some other reality. It's not exactly a time loop, but they do realize that something is not right.
The Best Years of Our Lives, My Ass by ireallyhatecornnuts 
Destiel, Actually by bloodism
Trope Springs Eternal by violethaze 
Do you know any fics where cas is a baseball player?
We sure do! Check out our athlete!cas tag and A Fine Line by cloudyjenn!
Hi, is there any recomendations for super hero Dean? (Guess who watches the other kripke show
Check our #superheroes tag! And a quick tag search on AO3 brought up this fic:
one little Soldier Boy, left all alone by Castielslostwings [NC-17, 57,000 word count]
Known to the world as the all-American superhero called "Soldier Boy", Dean was raised by Vought International to be exactly that and nothing more. His life is all fame, fortune, and fucking. Objectively awesome, right up until the moment when he's accosted in an elevator by someone claiming to be his brother, a man who insists that Dean's entire life has been built on a lie, and what happens next changes everything. As if unraveling his true identity while on the run from his former employers—and the closest thing he's ever had to family—isn't enough, Dean's brainwashed best friend (who he is definitely not in love with, thanks) is hot on his trails with marching orders to take him out for good. What's a devilishly handsome superhero with a dick the size of his forearm to do?
Hi, I'm fairly new to the Destielfanfic scene and I wanted help on how to find specific kidfics where Dadstiel and dad!Dean's children are Claire and Jack. Can you help me please 🥹
Welcome to destiel and dadstiel! Fics with Dean and Cas raising their kids, together or separately, are tagged with #kid!fic tag on our blog. Feel free to browse all 10 pages of destiel kidfics, and when you are done with them, check out a brand new fic collection on AO3, Dadstiel Minibang 2024.
Hi! I’ve been hunting for a fic where Cas has chaotic Misha energy. I’ve checked hipster!Cas and fuckup!Cas tags but haven’t found one yet. Any suggestions?
Those are good tags to look through, but maybe they don't really capture Misha's chaotic energy. But then gain, what does? Check out #2014!cas tag which has non- depressive AU fics where Castiel's characterization was inspired by the endverse Cas. There's also a #snarky!cas tag.
It's hard to capture Misha's chaotic energy through Castiel's character, and it will always be a YMMV kinda thing. Here's a short rec list of some fics that capture at least some of his character better known traits.
And This, Your Living Kiss by opal_bullets (Cas loves poetry)
Castiel Novak: Tomb Raider by emwebb17 (Cas is a daring explorer)
Fearson’s floating cigarette. by orange_crushed (Cas is kind)
Freebies and Oak Trees by violue (unconventional celebrity Cas)
Go Down With This Ship by PorcupineGirl (Cas is self confident)
Lovingly Crafted and Tenderly Packaged by janie_tangerine (Cas is kind and caring)
One White Lie by komodobits (Cas is bad at lying)
Try-Something Tuesday by almaasi (Cas surprises Dean)
The Wish Machine by justkeeponwriting (Cas is selfless)
Destiel fanworks on AO3 - 118,470 (October 12, 2024)
You can find previous From The Inbox posts here.
If you enjoyed the fic, please drop by the archive (AO3) and let the author know with your comments and/or kudos!

Watching Scoobynatural and writing down all my thoughts. happy Supernatural Day!
Tumblr media
Even how they make their voice overs different for Scoobynatural always gets me.
This episode mostly holds up, except they could have cut all of the Dean flirting with Daphne storyline. Icky. I hate it.
Why is Scoobynatural Cas a snack? (Don't judge me!)
Tumblr media
What if I said that Dean's rivalry with Fred has nothing to do with Daphne, but is actually Dean's own confusion about his *feelings* about Fred.
Tumblr media
Imagine Dean sitting on the ripped carpets of dirty motel rooms, his hands pulling on the thread soft the unraveling carpet, rocking baby Sammy back to sleep while watching his comfort show.
Dean's purple nightshirt "wrapped in hugs." Someone give that touch-starved man cuddles.
Tumblr media
Something special about Dean always introducing Cas as Castiel, with a loving lilt in his voice.
Tumblr media
Pairing Cas with Shaggy and Scooby was a fantastic idea.
Tumblr media
"Dean had him by the thigh!" I bet he did.
Superhero Cas "flying" to save Shaggy and Scooby, especially with the show depowering him the past few seasons, is refreshing.
Tumblr media
Dean's speech "you've all jumped into danger with no thoughts for yourself. You're heroes." He's really just talking about Team Free Will.
I forgot just how good this episode is.

Supernatural Outsider POV Fic Recs
This list will include all ratings and tags, so read at your own discretion! :)
God Killer by h0lm3stuck - Rated G
“There’s no way,” Austell says. “That’s——he looks like someone’s dad.” Someone’s criminally hot dad, but still. He’s not splattered with blood with a haunted look in his eyes, not itching for a fight, not toting a bloodthirsty angel along on a leash. Jeanie has to be wrong, there’s no other way around it. “No fucking way is that Sam Winchester,” Austell mutters. “That’s Dean,” Jeanie unhelpfully corrects. “Why do you look so scared?” She laughs. “He doesn’t bite.”
Attached to His Hip by sabarah23 - Rated G
The first time Jeremy saw the green-eyed boy, he had an infant attached to his hip. - or 5 times Dean was a dad in spirit only, and 1 time it was in name, too.
Story Time by Ltleflrt - Rated G
I like to imagine that someday when Dean and Sam and Castiel have finally saved the world, and are able to settle down, that Dean and Cas will get married and settle in a little town and Dean will make friends with all the neighborhood kids. He’ll keep an eye on them, and keep them out of trouble. And he’ll tell them stories….
Devil's in the House by glorious_spoon - Rated G
In which Sam hustles pool to pay for his textbooks, and an unexpected opponent turns up. Pre-series, outside POV.
Superheroes by aeli_kindara - Rated T
"I fuckin' hate group projects." Dylan gives Dean a wary glance. He gets it — he’s not the biggest fan of these things himself. But when you’re a group of two, “I fuckin’ hate group projects” is awful close to “I fuckin’ hate working with you.” In which a teenage Dean Winchester makes a friend and leaves something behind, and Sammy doesn't know when to shut up.
Crossovers
Criminal Minds
Monsters in Your Closet by AlbusCorvus - Rated G
When Castiel goes on a hunt alone and is caught by a particular FBI team, the brothers do something they never thought they’d have to. They kidnap SSA Spencer Reid to make an exchange. But being kidnapped by delusional serial killers is nothing like Spencer thought it would be.
Monsters are Real by WhiskyBoys - Rated T
'Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.' Stephen King. The kid sitting in the interview room swings on the rear legs of his chair, throws back his head, and at the top of his lungs, sings a painfully off-key version of 'Wanted Dead or Alive'. Hotch looks at Morgan with one eye-brow arched in question. "You think he's your unsub?"
No Difference by The_Bookkeeper - Rated T
Derek has been in a lot of bad situations. This one easily makes the top five. Or would, if Dean and Sam Winchester were actually acting like the sadistic psychopaths he expected them to be. Instead, Dean is referencing Star Trek, Sam is comforting Reid, and Derek has never been more confused.
Buzzfeed Unsolved
The Bizarre Winchester Murder Spree by Origamidragons - Rated T
“This week on Buzzfeed Unsolved we are discussing two of the most prolific and strangest serial killers in recent history: Sam and Dean Winchester.”
Percy Jackson
We Hitch an Awesome Ride by ariadnes_string - Rated G
Percy and his friends get a lift from some guys who might know as much about monsters as they do.
There's Nothing Weirder Than Teenagers by Calculatrice - Rated G
The kid is blinking startled, sea-green eyes at him, and Sam distractedly thinks that he looks a bit like a lost baby seal. "Who are you?" He asks, as if Sam's identity takes priority over the fact that his friend just threw his body into a lake. ___________________ In which a goth kid attempts to drown his friend, and Sam is suitably concerned.
Empousai and Demigods by Eternally_Sidequesting - Rated T
A hunt gone sideways gives Sam and Dean an idea of just how much they don't know about the supernatural.
Indiana Jones
Remnants by oneiriad - Rated G
It's not always easy to find the thing that's keeping a ghost around - bullwhips doesn't exactly make it any easier.

i love that when castiel was first introduced they planned a short multi-episode arc for him and put him in the constantine outfit as a joke but then they kept the character. he had to commit to the bit for 12 years. just in permanent cosplay that goes largely unacknowledged the entire rest of the series. imagine any other show where a main character walks around in a ripoff superhero costume and it’s never addressed.

It’s kind of a gross misstatement to say Cas was simply a bad friend during the season 6 arc. Dean was also a jackass. He refused to even listen that Cas had his own problems to contend with in heaven and just insulted him (Baby in a Trenchcoat) or took him for granted and prayed when he needed some angelic boost like the time travel. It was only after months of this that Dean finally had a half-ass “Hey Cas, if you need any assistance with your heavenly war, let us know”. Dean and Castiel are both equally at fault for the initial breakup.
I'm not sure why I'm getting this particular question, but yup, I agree that the situation was complex.
One of Dean's legendary coping mechanisms/neuroses is to get prickly and mean when the going gets tough, and I love to talk a lot with regards to both the fighting/hunting and the parenting of Jack Kline.
For Dean and Cas, they're both deliciously Going Through It (TM) in season 6 in different ways, Cas dealing with paranoia via the fallout of Heavenly betrayal and Dean with his complicated feelings of displacement into civilian life.
I sort of miss the days of TV when people got to screw up this badly with one another, but not in such a way that it’s bludgeoning, mean-spirited cynicism, hehe. (((For example, I struggle to think of a modern era of SPN where Bobby's frustration and worry over Dean would boil out in this horrifying way: "You sorry--you're not a person," when in actuality, he's desperately begging Dean not to die, and it's coming out all wrong. Or Dean's indirect forgiveness of Cas, that Cas picks up on immediately by tone alone: "Bottom of the ninth...I'd rather have you, cursed or not.")))
But if we're talking about season 6, Cas is controlling most of the means of communication from the get-go, and the power is definitely weighted in his favor. He sets the tone for it as soon as his big heart leads him to abruptly flit from the car to go and rescue Sam. BUT it's also no accident that Dean's narrative nickname for Cas is SUPERMAN. A perfect, invincible superhero. Dean took him for granted, hero-worshipped him, and conceptualized him as perfect... something Lily Sunder Has Some Regrets reflects back in an off-key manner: "I thought he was perfect...he was a monster (and hurt my child)." The truth with Dean and Cas is not either extreme, however. ("That nifty metaphor has holes:" Cas was trying to save Sam from the get-go, on multiple occasions.) It's the humanity that's in the middle.
It's lovely! And to me, it feels so real, too. Maybe someone else can chime in, but I don't have any huge, complicated feelings about this except that I really, really like the disillusionment period on both sides!
“We think that the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.” - Pema Chödrön
Love isn't baggageless perfection. It's understanding, forgiveness, resilience.
DEAN (in the dream state, to MARY): I hate you. (Deans voice breaks as tears run down his face) I hate you. And I love you. 'Cause I can't – I can't help it. You're my Mom. And I understand...'cause I have made deals to save the ones I love more than once. (Mary continues to look away but seems to hear him) I forgive you. I forgive you. For all of it. Everything.
