Summary
"Tell me, why did you come? Why did you join these invaders? To kill? You don't seem so…" Yusuf considered his next words. "Empty inside," he finished.
"I was called. By God. I was a priest, but I knew I could do more with a sword than with words and blessings. I came to protect pilgrims. That's why I'm here."
"Are you?"
Nicolo glared and crossed his arms.
"A priest. What sin are you repenting that you had to devote your whole life to God?"
"What?" Nicolo snapped, suddenly hating Yusuf very much.
"What is so dark and terrible," Yusuf said, leaning close--much too close--to Nico, "that you had to run so far?"

Summary
Death, as any salesman will tell you, is the process by which the existential dust that all people and animals and plants and some lakes are made out of finally ceases the energetic process of expending itself. Death is when the machinery of being gives up the ghost, so to speak. Death is not the primal dumpster of slavery (to quote Patricia Williams) nor the spectral something-ness of the disappeared (to paraphrase Avery Gordon).
Death is a yielding love letter to the stars. Put another way: Death is un-American.
or: Sam drives out to Seattle. It takes him a year to get back.

Lee turning up out of nowhere. Fifteen years later. Added as an afterthought? To bring in an interesting foil, push forward the already meaningless plot? Chuck’s grubby fingerprints. The more Dean thought back on it, the stranger some things seemed.

Summary
He used to feel a sense of loyalty and obligation towards this vessel, a desire to do better that flared up each time he saw the mirrored reflection of Jimmy Novak’s face. But now, he thinks with a stab of clarity, those feelings are unnecessary. There’s nothing to be loyal to anymore; there’s just him.
“This is good,” Cas whispers to his hands, testing the words against the cold ache in his chest. “This is good."
* * *
Cas tries using positive affirmations to trick himself into feeling happy and comfortable as a human. And, well—maybe he throws a little bit of praise Dean’s way, too.

The boys owe Jody a few dozen favours, and so when her niece goes missing near an old fishing village on the coast of Maine, Dean, Sam, and a newly human Castiel agree to take the case on. They settle into an old abandoned lighthouse-keepers' cottage, and slowly the tide comes in. (post-s8)

Summary
“How the fuck do you know my name?” Dean hisses.
The man doesn’t look scared. He is watching Dean like there is nothing else worth watching, lips a little parted, eyes a little soft. And blue. Real blue, like the ocean on a postcard.
The ice spreading down Dean’s spine makes him shiver.
“I suppose you could say I’m your guardian angel,” the man murmurs. His breath fogs pale between them. All of him is unnaturally warm, like Dean’s touching somebody with the sun sewn up beneath their skin. “I have known you, Dean Winchester, for a very long time.”
*
Dean meets an angel who says he's from the future. It all gets a lot more complicated from there.
