when castiel first laid a hand on you in hell

Dean and Cas hunting together: hunter husbands. standing 1.5 inches away from each other at all times. constant bickering constant eye sex constant rifling through each other’s pockets oh god they’re so fucking married

Sam and Eileen hunting together: extremely sweet together. heart eyes while discussing lore with each other. pretending not to be worried about each other because they each really want to respect the other person’s independence and hunting skills

Cas and Eileen hunting together: murder besties. taking turns beating the shit out of villains while the other person nods approvingly. roasting their boyfriends during stakeouts. mutual agreement not to tell dean and sam how many people they’ve blackmailed

Dean and Eileen hunting together: sky-high levels of competence. kicking ass left right and center. off-the-charts wittiness. spn would only be 1 season long if it was about these two because they would immediately solve every apocalypse in the most practical way possible and then spend the rest of the season getting drunk together.

…if you all are (un)lucky I’ll do contemporary theorists next

dean & children | 7.10 death’s door

Just from the top of my head:

he was a white house intern and stole white house passes to make a mobile,

decided not to go into politics after all and instead get famous in order to enact change (something he says in retrospect was stupid even though it worked out)

he's an NPR geek,

he makes jam and cans a lot of things,

can knit,

once played the role of a well-endowed yoga instructor addicted to self-fellatio,

his dream is to build an art commune out in the country,

he has infiltrated an Indian sex cult to try and expose its anti-native policies,

accidentally dropped acid at Burning Man and hated it so he had his dad sing to him all night,

doesn't smoke weed because he reacts funny to it,

prefers his salads dressingless,

used to pretend to be a russian exchange student to get free pizza,

went to his highschool prom dressed in drag,

was disappointed as a child to find out not every kid grew up to be a woman,

fashioned his wife a bed out of a tree that fell in his mother's yard using the makeshift woodshop in his college dormroom,

has built several large structures because he's a highly skilled carpenter,

holds several guiness world records,

used bolt cutters to sneak around underground alleys at uchicago as shortcuts,

there are several bigfoot-esque pictures circulating of him naked in the distance,

he's polyamorous,

has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity,

his given name is Dmitri Tippens Krushnic,

he rescued a turtle and named it Dryaluxaloud (a name that came to him in a dream) and keeps it in his backyard pond,

he was arrested for bank robbery after climbing on top of a bank building for better reading light,

does massive art installations,

was homeless as a child,

runs marathons,

organizes GISH which is a thing I cannot begin to explain,

starred in a bad scifi move titled "Stonehenge Apocalypse,"

also does blacksmithing and pottery,

wears orange underwear most of the time because he thinks it's lucky,

participated in a retreat at a Tibetan monastery,

renewed his vows with his wife in a supermarket while wearing a lace wedding gown,

lost a $1,800+ bet to Jared Padalecki and payed him back in coins he dumped in his trailer,

is a published poet and wishes to someday publish a book of poetry,

has screenplays he's written and wants to make into films,

had a job delivering newspapers when he was a kid but lost his job in the sping because his manager discovered he'd just been stowing papers in snowdrifts and going home,

built his wife a house,

can draw,

is incredibly accident-prone,

is a certified EMT, lifeguard and motorcyclist,

illegally sunk a tree killed in a forest fire into cement in an expensive highway island in Hollywood and mounted a plaque on it with an obscene inscription,

was the most flexible boy at his highschool in its 100 year history

but it’s also purgatory [rough sex in desperate silence because the Leviathan are never far behind] [Cas’ true form leaking out of his vessel because everything blurs and bleeds at the edges there] [Dean waiting for Cas to wake up after a bad fight, holding his intestines in with one hand and touching Cas’ cheek with the other] [Benny noticing the way Cas sometimes has a thousand eyes and sometimes just two but all of them are always tracking Dean]

and it’s also endverse [Cas almost overdosing in his shitty cabin in Chitaqua when Dean goes missing for a week] [Dean fucking him against a wall after a supply run ambush that almost gets them both killed] [sitting on a rickety porch together smoking pot and watching stars fall out of the sky] [in bed whispering tender things to each other the night before they go after Lucifer]

and it’s also demon Dean [holding the First Blade against Cas’ throat as Cas carefully pushes into him] [leaning into the touch of Cas’ hand on his face and waiting to see if Cas is going to smite him] [hunting down angels and bringing Cas their grace] [Cas rotting inside out from the stolen grace but unable to stop taking it because he knows he’s the only thing keeping Dean tethered to humanity]

and it’s also human Cas [soothed out of his night terrors by Dean’s voice in his ear] [unnerved that he can’t tell Dean’s alive just by sensing his soul from across the room] [constantly wrapping a hand around Dean’s throat because he needs to feel Dean’s pulse to reassure himself] [fascinated by the taste of Dean, the way he can no longer discern every individual molecule of it]

and it’s also just the way they can be used against each other [Naomi lobotomizing Cas and making Dean watch] [Cas driven mad the whole time Michael has Dean, because even while possessed Dean’s screams keep bleeding into prayer] [Dean offering himself to the Leviathan instead if they’ll just let Cas go] [Zachariah branding his own handprint onto Dean again and again until Cas drops his weapon] [Amara carving Cas apart with her bare hands trying to find what he has to offer Dean that she doesn’t] [Ishim running his hand through Dean’s hair wondering aloud what an angel could possibly see in a cockroach] [Lucifer taunting Dean by threatening to make Cas chew out his own tongue and eat it]
