    Summary

    Getting used to Heaven is something of a marvel. It ain't perfect, and Dean thinks he'd hate it if it was, which is probably why it isn't.

    ~~~

    "You don't understand," Dean whispers, exhaling shakily. "I know you don't, because even I don't. The instant you were gone, I wanted you back. Cas, I wanted you back. I wanted—I wanted—"

    Cas stares at him, searching his face. After a moment, his own face falls slack, eyes widening just so. "Oh," he breathes out.

    Dean wants to be furious that Cas has figured it out before he has—whatever it is—but he's not even that surprised. Cas knows him too well, always has, even more than Dean knows himself. He's been kicking Dean in the goddamn teeth with how deeply he understands him, even about the things Dean doesn't, ever since they first met. You don't think you deserve to be saved, that's what Cas had said. All bundled up in impossibilities and power, this being that looked at Dean Winchester and knew every single inch of him, as if he had a right to each part.

    "What?" Dean grits out.

    "I love you, too."

    Summary

    Cas asks Dean to marry him, and Dean can't think of a reason to say no.

    ~~~

    "Dean," Cas says calmly, gingerly sitting his fork down, and oh, this is gonna be a thing, Dean can tell. Sure enough, it is because Cas goes on to say, "What would you think if I suggested we get married?"

    Dean blinks and swallows the food in his mouth, staring at Cas curiously. "I would think...you were either on drugs or going insane, why?"

    "I'm not inebriated, nor mentally unstable."

    "I—I…" Dean takes in a deep breath, then blows it out heavily. "Cas, you're not fucking with me, are you?"

    "I'm not," Cas tells him.

    "Okay," he says, "fuck it, let's get hitched."

    "Thank you," Cas murmurs sincerely, then picks his fork back up and goes right back to eating.

    Summary

    Dean has been avoiding Castiel as much as possible since the dust settled on the end of the world. When forced together to go investigate a haunted lighthouse, things start to thaw, but Cas’ confession still hangs over them, and they’re still not talking about it. Cas’ choice to trust a ghost and risk his life (again) might be the thing that pushes them over the edge.

    Summary

    It's a year out from rescuing Cas from the Empty (again), a year since Dean and Cas could finally have what they both wanted — but for Cas, it still doesn't feel like a happy ending. His grace is never going to be what it was once, and he is struggling to come to terms with it. He finds an interesting coping mechanism, tries to hide it, and finds out that Dean is no longer willing to accept any secrets between them.
