When Cas overdoses and Jimmy doesn’t manage to go through with his plan of breaking his twin brother and his best friend up, Dean still decides to leave Lawrence and his whole life behind, and enlist in the US Navy intending to become a Navy SEAL.
This time, though, Castiel follows him all the way to California once Dean has completed boot camp in Illinois and then to Virginia, where Petty Officer Winchester has to go through Green Team to officially earn his trident. When Dean is drafted to join Bravo Team, one of the most elite platoons of SEAL Team Six, neither he nor Cas knows what lies ahead of them.
Will they make it through deployments, loss, navigating injuries and PTSD, and can Castiel hold on to his shaky sobriety through it all? Or will the little white lies they keep from each other somehow make the life they’re building collapse around them?
Td;lr: what would’ve happened if the main plot that changed everything in Patient Love didn’t happen, and what would it mean for Dean and Cas and those they love?
