Summary
Castiel's death hits Dean with a finality that leaves him drowning. Drowning in grief, in regret, in self-loathing, in heartbreak, in liquor. So when he stumbles across Lilly Sunder's notes on angels and, subsequently, a passage mentioning a gate to opening the Empty, he is determined to get Cas back.
No matter the cost.
Three weeks after Cas' return from the Empty, he is slowly healing from what the spell to retrieve him took. Three weeks after Cas' return, omens of angels and demons are scattered around the country. Three weeks after Cas' return, the Empty is bleeding.
Dean swore he would get Cas back no matter the cost. And he has, at the cost of endangering the balance of life and the afterlives. Dean has learned from dying and being the one left behind that it is easy to die for someone, but it is much harder to face the costs of surviving alongside them.
Even so, this time, Dean will not watch Cas die. And Cas has not and will not ever allow the same.

Summary
Dean's drunk enough that he can’t get the tears to stop flowing, but sober enough to be humiliated at the fact that he’s crying silently to himself in the bar on Valentine’s Day.
A fresh glass slides across the counter. The kind bartender pushes it close enough towards him that it comes into his field of view even despite his leaned-over, face-shielded, tear-hiding position.
His shame is visible, as is his grief.
TLDR: 3 months after Cas's passing, Dean makes his way to a bar for Valentine's Day. Everyone around him is looking for love, but Dean is struggling to handle Valentine's without his own by his side. A drunk drive home, a savior, many many tears, and a happy/hopeful ending ensue! :)

Summary
Castiel's breaths are sloppy. His lungs feel heavy, shredded. As tattered as his grace.

Summary
In which Amara doesn't bring back Mary, she brings back John Winchester.
Dean is uncertain what Amara's meaning is when she brings John back, and struggles with coming to terms with the new family dynamic. Sam tries harder to keep the peace than he used to, and Cas does not get along with John at all- though he tries. Testosterone is at an all-time high as these four men struggle to coexist in the hunting world with very different ideologies.
We explore just how much the brothers have changed in the ten years without their father's guidance, the trauma they still haven't resolved, and the feelings that Dean and Cas hold for one another despite the very real and new barrier that is John.
This story begins 12x01 and ends around 13x06
