"I did it to protect you. I did it to protect all of you."
you Dean.
Dean being hit by a love spell, and seeing Cas first - and falling for him, magically.
And Sam’s ready to hold his brother back from any embarrassing behaviour, anything he’ll regret later - but Dean handles it like a pro. He keeps his hands to himself - barely pats Cas on the shoulder to say goodnight, barely says a word out of place, as they sit in the bunker and try to figure out how to break the spell. There’s a feeling, sometimes, when Dean looks at Cas… a feeling of something deep moving beneath the surface, of a powerful emotion - but Dean keeps it perfectly in check.
“How are you doing that?” Sam says. “Is it a weak spell?”
Dean, jaw clenched - fire in his blood, burning alive - shakes his head slowly. “It’s strong,” he says. I’ve got practice, he almost adds.
Cas comes to see him that night, late. Dean’s awake, of course, researching in his room, laptop glowing brightly. He jerks his head up sharply when Cas knocks at the door, always alert.
“Cas,” Dean says. “Come in.”
“You’re sure? With the spell, it won’t be too…” Cas pauses, awkward. Dean shakes his head.
“It’s alright,” he says - and then makes the first and only mistake that the spell pushes out of him. “I’m used to it,” he adds.
They both pause. Dean stares at Cas in a kind of paralysed silence - unable to believe that now, now, after all these years of quietness, he has twisted a little of his feelings into words.
“I would ask you how it feels,” Cas says, eventually. He’s standing half-inside the door, tense. “But I believe I know already.”
There’s a moment of utter noiselessness - but to Dean, to Cas, it’s the loudest few seconds of their lives. Understanding crashes into them both; without words, louder than words, with eyes alone, they tell each other everything.
It turns out, the only thing needed to break the spell is a single kiss.
They make sure the spell is completely broken, though, by not leaving it at one.
I’m tired of Castiel setting himself on fire just to keep the Winchesters warm, but damn if I don’t admire the conviction with which he walks into the flames.
oh, mama, i'm in fear for my life
from the long arm of the law
“Okay, now that’s weird,” said Sam looking through his notes.
Dean’s intrigued, a comment like that usually preceded Sam telling him about a case and them jumping into the Impala on a hunt. So Dean’s definitely interested.
“Guy in the Midwest has had a supernatural being tailing him for 7 plus years. Lots of interventions, divine and magical, um saved his life a couple of times.”
“Okay, benign haunting,” Dean said. “If the spirit’s not hurting anybody, then there’s no case.”
“Well, it’s bothering the guy’s family though, the brother seems pretty concerned,” Sam squinted at the screen. “He says ‘the level of attachment between them is soul deep and the supernatural being has given up his powers and his life multiple times to help out the guy, often at great risk or detriment to himself’. Sounds pretty serious, Dean.”
“Cursed object?” Dean hazarded a guess. “Or, um, unfinished business? Book of the Damned magic?”
“Nope, big powerful supernatural dude trailing after a single human through heaven, hell and purgatory.”
Dean laughed. “That sound like a crush to you?”
Sam’s hands went up in the air as he grinned. “I don’t know, does it sound like it to you?”
Dean considered it for a minute. “Sounds more like love than a crush.”
Sam nodded enthusiastically.
“So Cas…” Dean chewed on his lips, his eyes getting that far away look when he talked about the angel. “You think I should call him?”
Sam gave Dean a double thumbs up.
“Yeah, Cas should be able to help us with a case like that,” Dean smiled. “He’s so knowledgeable about the supernatural and such a great guy, haha sometimes I wonder why he bothers helping at all, he must have better things to do.”
Dean looked up to see Sam banging his head on the keyboard. vigorously.
ok so imagine Sam trying to prank Dean by setting him up with his colleague. a colleague that is a guy.
Cas is a really nice guy and Sam himself sometimes hangs out with him, but being the most socially awkward person Sam knows - so totally not Dean’s type - he has to become a part of the prank.
so Sam tells Dean about this awesome colleague of his, how smart, and pulled together, and funny, and hot his colleague is. and finally, one day (almost a month of persuasions later) Dean agrees to meet this wonderful colleague (even though he hates the blind dates thing and is perfectly capable of finding a date himself)
Sam basically laughs his ass off, when he closes the door and waits patiently for Dean to return in like half an hour outraged of what Sam managed to pull off. but Dean doesn’t come home after an hour.
two hours go by, but Sam still waits.
in three hours Sam gets a text from Dean, finally.
yo, bro, didn’t know that you knew. anyway, thx for the d8, he’s rly cute.
Dean doesn’t come home that night.

dean and cas (◕‿◕✿)
A wealthy man is lying on his death bed, his lawyer at his side as he finalizes the man’s will. He looks it over one last time and asks the man, ‘Are you sure you want to keep this part about requiring your eldest son to marry before he can collect his inheritance?’ The man nods. ‘But sir, why? That will make things so complicated.’
The man grips the lawyer’s shirt and shakes him, and with his dying breath he exclaims, ‘For the fake married trope!’
Dear fandom: I’m sorry I’m not even going to put this in tags to myself. This is a PSA.
We have a character who would 100% no doubt at all do this. Imagine creepy but benign human!AU great uncle Metatron leaving his fortune to Cas. Find a wife.
Cas who never bothered with boring and repetitive dating and suddenly finds himself stuck with the need to marry because he’s a disaster and broke and this is actually the answer to all his problems.
Of course, Cas is never going to find a wife in like 3 days but hey his friend Dean is unattached and finds the whole thing hilarious (and adorable because he’s secretly a little bit smitten with Cas, who’d never dared have asked him if he hadn’t offered because some things you don’t joke about when you’re kind of maybe in love with your best friend).
Why not quickly get married, since it’s now legal all over the US and they can split the profits and high five over a scheme well executed?
WHY NOT?
DEAN: There are two things I know for certain: one, Bert and Ernie are gay; two, you are not gonna die a virgin–not on my watch.
whyisntanybodyeverjustwhelmed:
That collective gasp in the theater when Vision does the thing.
Sometimes you just want to protect them.
