ROWENA MACLEOD IN EVERY EPISODE ✧ THE THINGS WE LEFT BEHIND

so dean just. peaces out with bobby jr (the 'john' gets dropped real quick) and retires from hunting. finds a small city somewhere in the midwest (i volunteer actual sioux falls bc it's a cool little midwestern city) and he doesn't love being in a city at first but it gives him and his shapeshifter baby a little bit more anonymity than a small town, but is still near-ish to bobby (who lives somewhere outside of either oacoma or deadwood).

lisa isn't really up for another kid so they have an amicable breakup and he goes to live out his single dad life. cas starts to pop in every so often and ends up really liking bobby jr. and is surprisingly good with kids so he just... keeps coming over more! and dean spends most of s6 trying not to get dragged back into hunting but it's hard when there's so much happening and he keeps trying to justify cas' shady behavior to everyone bc he's so good with bobby jr! how could he be a bad angel person?!

basically you have a season that splits between the actual plot of s6 minus dean and then dean being a single dad and cas kinda-sorta co-parenting. and cas wants to abandon the heaven civil war and tell crowley to get fucked so bad. but he can't! bc he has to protect dean and bobby jr!! so 06x20 tmwwbk hits even worse bc it's not just that dean feels betrayed by cas, it's dean and his son who cas was what? playing house with him while in bed with crowley?

for most people, the memory of their significant other saying those three little words for the first time, is a good one.

but not for dean.

“we’re all out of cereal and milk so jack and i are going to pick some up. love you.”

dean’s heart dropped in his chest and he stumbled to where cas was leaning in the doorway, throwing his arms around him and burying his face into cas’s shoulder.

“you’re coming back.”

it wasn’t a question but cas answered anyways.

“of course, dean.” he pulled away a slightly to cup dean’s cheek. “… are you sure you don’t want me to remove the memory?”

dean leaned into cas’s touch and looked back and forth between his eyes. they’d already lost so much.

he shook his head. “i don’t want to lose another second with you.”

cas kissed him softly. “then you won’t. do you want to come with us to the store?”

dean smiled through his tears.

It starts when Dean and Cas are bickering about a case, trying to figure out what the fuck was killing all these people. The only clue they have is the blood was completely drained from the victims’ bodies through an IV and there were at least two of them working together.

They had been arguing over whether it was a group of vampires (Dean’s theory) or vetalas (Cas’ theory) for the past hour at a local diner.

"Okay sweetheart," Dean says, sarcasm dripping with each syllable. "I guess we'll see soon. There they go." He points to a shady group he recognizes from the CCTV footage.
