what they deserve (its better this way) by sobsicles 6k, M

That being said, reciprocation is…something. Castiel decides very quickly that he does not like it. His body has not been a vessel for a long, long time, but he suddenly wants to offer it up to literally anyone else just to escape it because it’s betraying him now. His eyes are burning, and his chest feels too small for his lungs, and his knees feel weak. If Dean touches him now, he will surely break apart. 

“I do not want to come over there,” Castiel admits in a rasp, blinking hard. 

15x20 heaven reunion fixit. literally. my actual fav and if u followed me bc of my deancas coda comic i BEG u to read this cuz i took a lot of cues from it (specifically cas’ ‘thank you’) and its just. UGH its literally so in character and FUNNY and charming and SO good!!!!!

“Why – Why didn’t you – Why didn’t you come home?” Dean’s fumbling over his words, over his anger, over something else that Castiel knows is a sense of betrayed loyalty. Castiel is family, regardless of the nature of the bond, and Castiel did not come home.

His heart is full upon hearing that word, even though he’s not sure he would like to call that home anymore, even though he wishes he could.

cas-comes-back-from-the-empty fic (written pre-15x19&15x20) and is like Well well well if it isnt the consequences of my undying love confession. so he runs away to a cabin in the woods to hide. gentle and raw!

“But you were trying to,” Cas says softly. “You were looking for work.”

“Yeah,” Dean admits. His chest is beginning to fill with some bitter fluid which tastes of regret.

“I’m proud of you, for that,” Cas says, and it’s like an unbinding. Dean all but melts.

another heaven reunion fic!! cas waiting on a beach w the sunset in the bg is top tier imagery.

“Oh.” Dean says. “Then, do you still—“

“Yes.” Cas reddens and shoves his hands in his trenchcoat pocket.

heaven reuinion where cas is stupid and thinks dean doesnt want to see him </3

he prays for you

They stand in silence, and things shouldn’t be allowed to be this awkward in Heaven. Of course, Cas isn’t sure why he thinks that - he’s had plenty of awkward moments in Heaven before, both pre-Winchester and post.

“That angel’s love for you permeated both of our beings so potently I’m amazed I don’t love you.” Jimmy said, like it was the kind of fact you could drop casually. “Though even I will admit, as a happily married heterosexual man, that having a man as handsome as you proclaim your love to me in the middle of a grocery store was very exciting.” 

GOD TIER FIC where dean keeps mistaking jimmy for cas in heaven and keeps confessing his undying love lol. its rly cute and funny

at the end of the world by dothraki_shieldmaiden 4.6k, G

Castiel licks his lips. “Hello, Dean,” he finally says, when it becomes obvious that Dean has no intention of making the first move.

Dean’s lips quirk up in a grin. “Cas,” he says, not moving from where he’s leaning up against the frame of the Impala. “You’re a hard guy to track down.”

tender lil heaven reunion fic!!

because it is

by 60dr3d0m 6k, M

Cas looks like he doesn’t know what to say.

Dean moves toward him then, presses a hand to his shoulder, really just wants to cradle his face, and if Cas sees the desperation that’s running off Dean in waves, he doesn’t show it.

finale fixit (written pre 15x19 & 15x20) where dean doesnt die and cas comes back from the empty. angsty and RAW and good

AND FINALLY THE ONLY NON FINALE RELATED FIC ON THIS REC:

no kingdom to come

by domesticadventures 16.8k, M

Dean can picture it, Cas sitting up here, leaning against the doorway, looking out over his garden. Or lying on his back on the warm concrete, nestled between the pots and planters, looking up at the clouds.

“Could be cool to bring a couple of chairs up here,” Dean says. “If you wouldn’t mind some more company every now and then.”

Cas smiles at him again—or maybe he hadn’t stopped in the first place. “I wouldn’t mind.”

aka the quarantine fic where dean and cas become FWB and cas has a lil rooftop garden and dean is Stupid and i love it. cas gets mad at dean at one point in the fic and dean tries to make small talk w him and is like “bro its gonna be too cold for ur plants up here soon..” and cas is just like. “well then i guess theyre just gonna die.” he really is THAT bitch i love him
