To Hold In Your Hands

To Hold In Your Hands by saltnhalo (@saltnhalo) Rating: Teen and Up Word count: 6k

Castiel has never wanted an angel. He does just fine on his own, has for a long time—since he was old enough to hold a shotgun and make a salt circle. He’s proud of what he’s been able to achieve without angelic help, and the longer he can keep hunting solo, the better. But judging by the summons he’s just received to the Men of Letters’ bunker, his time is up. He can’t avoid his future angel partner any longer. (aka. five times that Dean saves Castiel's life, and five times that Castiel slowly learns angels aren't as bad as he'd thought)

In a world where hunters are partnered with angels, Castiel prides himself in being an excellent solo hunter. Unfortunately, the Men of Letters force him into a partneship with one despite his wishes and his dislike for the feathery assholes, and Castiel now goes on hunts with a sarcastic dick in toe. Dean, however, proves himself useful very soon, and Castiel has to face the reality that angels might not be as bas as he thought they were.

This story is a delicious treat for anyone who loves a good reverse verse. Not only because we get hunter Castiel and angel Dean, but also because their characterization is just chef's kiss! Castiel is grumpy yet intrigued by the powerful angel - not that he would ever admit so out loud - and Dean is cocky but skilled in hunting and deadly effective. As Castiel learns to rely on Dean, and Dean grows more protective of his (always in some ridiculously dangerous situation) partner, the two go from apprehension to respecting each other to maybe something more. Castiel's denial about that something more just might get him into the most dangerous hunt he's ever found himself in.

reverse au YAAY!!!! i’ve been THINKIN about angel dean and i really wanted to draw it so i did :-) to me his vessel was similar to dean smith but more religious, hence the tie and stuff. if anyone has any headcanons about his personality (identical to canon, or different cause he’s an angel) id love to hear it!

Honestly it would have been too gay

Dean: “Are we fighting or flirting right now?”

Castiel: “My hand is literally around your throat.”

Dean: “Ok, that still doesn’t answer my question.”

*noisily pulls up a chair* 🪑 do you guys ever think about what HunterCorp!Dean thought of Cas? Like he was already clearly of jealous of Dean Prime, with his cool shirts and rugged trauma, so he must have been like, ‘what! you have a hot angel sidekick too?! Lucky!’

And Dean would have just floundered and gruffly tried to shut him down like, ‘what’re you even talking about? Cas—hot…?’ *manly, sputtering deflection*

And then HunterCorp!Dean would be like, ‘oh?👀 so you’re not together then? Interesting. Very interesting…’ *slicks back his already over-slicked hair* *huffs into palm to check if breath stinks* *readies himself to make his move*

And then Dean would have internally combusted, obviously. because now he has to explain to his very queer alternate self to cool his jets and step away from his not-boyfriend because…. Because…. Well just to back the hell off okay that’s why!!! >:/

Both Sam’s just -_-; -_-; *deep sigh*

Castiel hums. His hand leaves Dean’s thigh to twist his fingers through the rosary, inspecting it under the passing streetlights. “I used to believe in God.” Dean watches his profile, lost to the darkness one second, illuminated the next, as the Impala rolls down the winding road. Castiel’s expression remains passive. “What happened?” Dean asks. Castiel’s lips thin. “Life,” he says simply and lets the rosary slip out of his hold. His hand finds its spot on Dean’s leg again except it slides higher this time. * Or while Sam is in Stanford and their father is god knows where, Dean gets a taste of freedom, but it might be more than he bargained for.

What is real is that Dean is lonely. What is real is that Sam left and Dean wants him back. What is real is that Dean has never felt loved by his father. What is real is that Castiel fills in every aching hole in Dean’s life.

But is Castiel real?  Is he really the traveling photographer who has art exhibits and a sadness in his eyes rivaled only by the fierceness?

Dean thinks he knows because despite being a one-night stand, they never stop.  They call and they meet up in nasty hotels and Dean falls.  He knows Castiel’s face, knows when he’s lying, when he’s angry, when he’s teasing, even though his stoic features never seem to change.

But when secrets unfold and Dean’s understanding of who Cas is, he runs.  Dean’s complete abandonment of Cas is hard to read. He doesn't answer calls or texts for months.  It’s a complete cut-off, which considering what Dean has discovered, makes sense, but for Cas, who is capable of complete devotion and has aimed that love at Dean, a dramatic gesture is required.

When Cas is injured and Dean is called by the hospital, being his emergency contact, the circumstances of his injury cause Dean to question everything he thinks he knows about his life.  He nurses Cas to health while dragging him along on hunts, his reservations and distrust slowly crumbling as Cas dedicates himself to being a hunter and shows Dean how the world looks through his eyes.

There’s no doubt here that Cas’ worldview is seriously fucked up, but it’s seductive and for Dean it’s especially appealing.  His own emotional wounds and childhood abuse leave him with injuries that Cas’ way soothes.  It’s a wonderful look into the psychology of a human monster and the decisions he makes.

Most important is the way Cas’ manipulation and gas lighting have fundamentally changed Dean.  The end of the story is both on brand and as a result of the influence of psychopathy.  It’s delicately and impactfully done.  If you like dark but passionate and beautiful love stories, this is a great story.

watching a show where half the writers room wanted a ship and the other half didn’t is fascinating because wdym they’re not canon but they say stuff like “last time someone looked at me like that i got laid” and “i lay his clothes out in the morning” and “i’d rather have you, cursed or not” and [talking about (literally) sleeping and bathing together] “we already do that” and “i did it, all of it, for you” and “god help me, i still like him” and

Sam: “So, if a robber comes up to you and says ‘Give me all your money if you want to live!’, what do you say or do?”

Castiel: “I’d say, ‘Bold of you to assume I have money!’”

Dean: “I’d say, ‘Bold you to assume I want to live.’”
