    Summary

    Everything Castiel is, everything he’s made of, is hitched to a thin golden string attached to Dean Winchester’s soul, tugging him closer, begging him to let them collide.

    He recalls Aristophanes’ story of creation; the one in which humans were split in two as a divine punishment, forever in search of their other half.

    Cas is not human, but he understands the sentiment.

    _____

     
    In which Dean is finally in a world without impending catastrophe, but it's also a world without Cas. He spends all day fighting not to think about it, and at night, his sleep is haunted by grief.

    But then his dreams start to feel more and more real, and no grave can hold Cas down.

    Summary

    “So, Cas... Whaddaya say to a drive out tomorrow? Just us two, maybe out to the fields. I know this great spot with a lot of wild flowers and there’s this old oak, probably been right there for hundreds of years. It’s pretty secluded. You know” Miracle waggled his eyebrows, “very romantic.”
    Dean wanted to tear him limb from limb.

    This time, it wasn’t even Dean’s fault; his only crime was needing a break. He didn’t have anything to do with waking up in Miracle's body. It was just as well; at least now he could spend a little time with his family without feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders. What he hadn’t considered in all of this: body-swapping went both ways. And Miracle seemed hell-bent on meddling with Dean’s life, bringing thoughts and feelings to light that Dean had tried his damnedest to forget.

    Summary

    Dean's fine.

    Then he gets a piece of metal stuck through his ribs. But he doesn’t die, even though he’s pretty sure he should’ve.

    He’s still— fine. No matter what Sam thinks.

    (And Cas is still gone.)

    Summary

    “I don’t understand.” Shaking his head, Castiel tries to make sense out of Sam’s words, “You defeated Chuck. You got your freedom back. That was what Dean was fighting for the whole time, why would he just throw that away, Sam? What happened?”

    “What happened?!” For the first time, Sam turns his eyes away from the road and his voice rises, suddenly laced with fury, “Man, you fucking died! What else do you think would mess him up so badly?!”

    ---

    Coming back from the Empty after a whole year, Castiel discovers that the Bunker is not the home of the Winchesters anymore. Quickly the hunters who are residing connect him to Sam and Sam doesn't hesitate to bring Castiel to Dean, telling him some very unexpected things during their way. Now all Castiel can hope for is that Dean is able to forgive him.
