Summary
“Are you serious, Dean? Your djinn-dream started with you dying?” Sam asks incredulously from the passenger seat on the way back to the bunker.
“Well, technically it started with us going on a hunt,” Dean points out. He licks his lips, jaw clenching. “I mean, there was Heaven, too, and that was pretty cool.”
Sam stares at him. “Unbelievable,” he breathes, scrunching his face up in distaste. When Dean glares at him, he holds his hands up defensively and chuckles weakly. “Sorry, man, but that just sounds pretty lame.” He leans back and folds his arms. “It just…I dunno. Kinda sounds like something Chuck would cook up. Just you and me. No one else. I mean, really?” He scoffs, slumping.
*~*~*
In which some people come back, Cas learns to be human (the right way, this time), Dean Winchester finally realizes that good things do happen, and they all get their version of the post-credits, apple-pie life they deserved.
AKA: Screw Chuck's narrative.

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

Summary
At thirty-six, Dean Winchester is the Captain of Lawrence Fire Station 24 — respected, decorated, and trusted with lives when everything is burning down. He runs his crew with precision, authority, and gallows humor, the kind of man you want beside you when the smoke gets thick. He has the house. The career. The scars to prove he earned both.
What he doesn’t have is anyone waiting for him when the sirens go quiet.
Dean tries to explain why Castiel doesn’t fit into his life — too quiet, too gentle, too different from anyone he’s ever dated.
Sam, who’s heard every version of this argument before, gently points out the truth Dean keeps avoiding: maybe the problem isn’t Castiel’s differences — maybe it’s that Dean has spent his whole life choosing what’s safe instead of what he actually needs.
And maybe what he needs is someone entirely unfamiliar… even if that scares him.
**
"You've been dating the same type of person your whole life, and where has it gotten you? Alone in a house that's too quiet. You always go for what's easy, what's familiar. But maybe what you need isn't easy. Maybe what you need is different. Maybe what you need is a nerdy beekeeper who talks about feelings."

Summary
After three years away, Sam's finally coming home for the holidays. Only, much to Dean's surprise, he isn't coming alone.
--
“Who’s this?” Dad asks, confused.
“Right,” Sam says. He huffs out a breath as he draws up his confidence. “Dad, Dean, this is Castiel. My boyfriend.”
