destiel wip 😯

[theloversthings]

The barn was silent but for the low creak of aging wood and the occasional rustle of wind slipping through the cracks in the siding. Dust hung in the still air, disturbed only by the hurried footsteps of an angel falling from the sky.

Castiel didn’t know how he found Dean. He had only felt it—something yanked deep in his grace, a magnetic pull of worry and pain that led him here, to the outskirts of nowhere, into this forgotten place.

And then he saw him.

Dean was unresponsive. Cas found him lying on his stomach, body limp and twisted in a pitiful position on the barn floor. The sight might have bordered on absurdity, had it not been for the overwhelming flood of fear that crashed through Castiel’s vessel like a broken dam.

He dropped to his knees in front of Dean’s head, the trench coat whipping violently around them as though it too felt the panic. His hand found Dean’s cheek, trembling slightly as he turned his face gently toward him.

“Dean,” he whispered, breath barely catching in his throat. “Dean, please.”

There was no answer. No flutter of an eyelash, no groan of protest, not even the ghost of a sarcastic comment. Just the unbearable stillness.

Cas swallowed hard. The grace within him stirred, ancient and burning, already readying itself. He hadn’t done this in years.

He looked down at Dean, this human, the man who had always dragged him back from the brink, time and time again.

Now it was his turn.

With a quiet, desperate breath, Castiel leaned in – and kissed him.

The moment their lips touched, Castiel let the floodgate open.

Grace poured from him in a searing wave, ancient and blue, slipping past the veil of mortality to wrap around Dean’s soul like fire meeting gasoline. The kiss deepened as Dean's chest jolted once, then again – his fingers twitching in the dirt, breath rasping in like it was the first he’d ever taken.

Cas cupped his face, kept kissing him, pouring everything he had into it.

And then Dean was kissing him back – clumsy and dazed, first. His hands reached up, weak but urgent, curling into the front of Castiel’s shirt like he was anchoring himself to the world again

When they finally parted, their foreheads pressed together, Dean’s eyes fluttered open.

“You kissed me,” he breathed, voice rough and raw.

Castiel stilled. “I poured some of my grace into–”

Dean kissed him again.

Finished this yesterday! Had a dramatic moment in my dnd campaign last week and decided to draw it—my cleric’s brother was killed, and his soul marked for taking by a fiend god, and my cleric was Not Having It. (the brother was resurrected by my cleric’s boyfriend so it turned out okay, but it was Stressful lol)

tbh even if i didnt ship destiel, the genuine homoerotic tension between cas shoving dean into a wall and covering his mouth, and dean literally, physically softening (watch the scene dude) and giving a little nod and putting his full trust into cas is insane. like that’s some crazy fucking work im sorry

Summary:

In a reality where Sam escaped the Cage with his soul intact, and Dean managed to talk Cas down from popping Purgatory, life after the apocalypse seems almost normal for the Winchesters. But peace is short-lived. A supernatural disturbance in a quiet Georgia town stirs unrest, revealing that not everyone is satisfied with how things ended.

When BAU agents Hotch and Reid become trapped in the town, the team stumbles into a supernatural crisis with world ending potential. As old tensions resurface and new threats emerge, Dean and Cas’s tangled bond may be the key to saving everything—or the final push that drives Castiel toward a devastating fate.

Massive appreciation to @alicetallula for the art and conversation during this bang. Thanks to my betas and the mods of @cdrcrossoverbang !

i just loveee cas pretending to be stupid so dean pays attention to him. especially when anyone else especially Sam witnesses it and KNOWS cas knows/can do the thing he asks dean. and calls cas out on it. and cas pulls out the "🥺 I'm sorry I didn't know.." and dean gets that fond look on his face and is like "Cas, buddy. Ignore Sammy, he doesn't know his left from his right. C'mon. I'll show you *insert movie or show that sam knows cas knows*"

and then dean goes to get popcorn and sam is just silently dumbfounded and looks at cas and cas glares at him like "DONT. ruin this for me." and sam is spluttering like B -but. HEY. W-wh. Cas, you know that?" and cas is about to make a comeback but dean walks in so cas pulls the 🥺 out and says "Sam... I'm sorry I don't know more human films.. I am trying to. Become one of you.. It's just so much to do by myself and... 🥺" and dean shoots sam a genuine glare and says "Sam! Stop bein a dick to him. It isn't his fault he was raised by assholes with sticks up their... assholes.. Heh. C'mon, Cas. I can help you catch up." and dean pats cas' shoulder then pulls him along down the hall of the bunker. and cas briefly shoots another glare over his shoulder at sam.
