Castiel Novak has a routine. That routine consists of skating, conditioning, food and sleep, and more skating. He doesnāt make time for relationships and thatās worked just fine for him. Itās part of the reason he and Meg have made it as far as they have in the figure skating world.
His usual routine is thrown for a loop when he finds himself having to share his usual ice rink with the Kansas Hunters and he comes face to face with the team captain and the greenest eyes Castiel has ever seen.
Dean Winchester isnāt the least bit shy about his attempts to get to know Castiel, and Castiel isnāt quite sure why heās finding it so easy to get close to Dean. But maybe, Dean Winchester, local NHL celebrity, will be the one to break down the guard that Castiel has had up for so long.
Read it on AO3 and then give @halzbarry some love for his excellent writing.

Two years ago, Dean walked away from Castiel after discovering his biggest secretāthat heās a witch. Since then, Deanās spent his days hunting alone, filling the emptiness inside with sex, booze, and the next case.
When he gets a desperate call for help from Castiel, Dean doesnāt hesitate to go. But things in the small Maine town arenāt what they seem, especially when he comes face to face with Castiel, who insists he wasnāt the one to place the call.
Deanās been given an opportunity to fix his past mistakes, but it means working alongside a very bitter Castiel, and Benny, a local deputy with knowledge of the supernatural, to figure out whatās plaguing Newport and why it all seems fixated around Castiel.
Keep reading for a sneak preview!
Cas lets the anger dissipate from his face and points towards the tiny kitchen table. āYour clothes are over there. I washed your shirt and jacket late last night. Youāll need someone to stitch your shirt up for you though.ā
Dean remembers heās shirtless and, for both his and Casā sake, goes and puts them on. He doesnāt have to turn to feel Cas following his every move, and he wishes more than ever that things werenāt like this between them.
āSo, that spell or whatever you just didā¦ didnāt sound like typical Latin,ā he says, hoping to fill the silence thatās crept between them.
āItās Sumerian,ā Cas answers simply. āYour wounds were so severe that the healing spells I would normally use would have been ineffective in treating them. I had to use something stronger.ā
Dean makes a noise of agreement and nods. Heās clearly lingering, but Cas is the one who called him out of the blue, so he figures Cas should be the one to finally break down and tell him whatās going on.
āDeanā¦ why are you here?ā
That wasnāt what he was expecting to hear.
āCome again?ā Dean asks.
āDean, we havenāt spoken in over two years. Then, out of the blue, you show up at my place of work nearly bleeding to death with Benny begging me to save you.ā A pained look crosses Casā expression again briefly, and Dean is taken back to that night two years ago, wondering how Cas must feel experiencing the same thing all over again. āI donāt know how you found this town, or found me, for that matter, but I have a right to know why youāre here.ā
Thereās anger seething underneath the surface of his skin. He didnāt just drive all the way to Maine for Cas to act like this.
āThe hell are you talking about, Cas? Youāre the one who called me!ā He feels his fists clench tight and his body go rigid with anger. āYou called me up, scared the hell outta me yelling about some monster, and then I drove all the way over here just to get attacked by whatever the hell that thing was!ā To further prove his point, Dean whips his phone out and pulls up the text message from Cas. āLook, this is from you!ā
Dean sees it. A brief flicker of shock and confusion in Casā eyes. Cas hides it quickly and tilts his head while keeping his expression impassive and even. āDean, thatās not my phone number.ā
MARVEY FOR THE SHIP ASK BECAUSE FOX HEADCANONS ON MARVEY SUSTAIN ME
(for the ship meme here)WHO SAID I LOVE YOU FIRST?They've both said 'I love you' plenty of times in their own way, though technically Harvey would've been first with, "He goes, I go." As for the actual words? Mike.
WHO LAUGHS WHEN THE OTHER TRIPS?It's less of a laugh and more of a snort-smirk from Harvey whenever Mike trips over his own feet, though usually he's standing close enough that he can grab him before he hits the ground.Usually.
WHO PAYS THE BILLS? Harvey since it's a point of pride. Though Mike's not without his own pride and sneaks in payments whenever he remembers that something's due. If it's an argument about who pays for dinner, Harvey usually wins that one.
WHICH ONE MAKES A BIGGER DEAL AROUND THE HOLIDAYS?Both of them, actually. Harvey takes care of the planning while Mike takes care of decorating (aka, putting tinsel on literally everything). Neither's really experienced a 'real holiday' given their respective situations, so they make it a big deal out of it with one another (much to Mike's initial surprise when they first started dating.)
WHOāS MORE CLUMSY?Have...you seen Mike play tennis? (S1E02.) Or actually land a paper basketball into a waste bin? (S2E13) Poor baby has the hand eye coordination of a three year old.
WHO CHECKS THEIR DAILY HOROSCOPE?Mike, during the car ride to work. Harvey claims not to believe in that bullshit but reads it over his shoulder anyway.
WHO SINGS LOUDER IN THE CAR?Mike, much to Harvey's chagrin. He makes it very obvious that he thinks Mike's a terrible singer. Mike, of course, sings louder. (Oh Danny boy anyone?)
WHO LEAVES THE CAP OFF THE TOOTHPASTE?Mike left it off literally once to see how badly Harvey would react. He was not disappointed.
WHO IS MORE UP TO DATE IN POP CULTURE?Both. It's always competition.
WHO INSISTS ON GOING TO SEE THE NEWEST MOVIES?Again, both. Gotta keep up to date on the latest movies.
WHO CRIES WHEN THE ABUSED ANIMAL COMMERCIALS COME ON?Mike. Harvey, however, is the one who comes home with the puppy he found on the street and still claims not to have a heart.
WHOāS THE LIGHTER SLEEPER?Neither. They have five alarms between them to get them up on time.
WHO BELIEVES IN GHOSTS?Mike.
WHO DOES THE GROCERY SHOPPING?Both, when either has the time to go shopping. They usually eat out.
WHO UPDATES THEIR FACEBOOK STATUS MORE OFTEN?Mike, usually once an hour, usually with a selife.
On this day I want to say I am having random Dean/Cas/Jimmy feels and now I am having revived Stiles/Stuart/Derek feels and I blame you. Also you are gorgeous and I love you
omg halz i am crying what is wrong with youĀ
i went through all the fics in the derek/stuart/stiles tag and a lot of them were not in english and then there was literally only 1 fic that i wanted to read, iām maybe 1/4 of the way into it and the jury is still kinda out for me, but apparently after dcj i have a twins thing now ugh *bangs head on wall*Ā
iām also real worried about when iām going to end up seeing that fishman movie and thatās going to awaken something
halz i am a disaster
BUT I SAW YOUR PROMO AND I AM SUPER PUMPED FOR YOUR DCBB!!!!!!!!!!Ā

So I have to get your official thoughts haha. Do you think there was any meta to Snart ever coming back or do you think that's it for him?
Itās so hard to say.
Thereās stillĀ no press release about the status of Wentworth Millerās contract being renewed for another season or not, unlike Katie Cassidy and John Barrowman, whose status theyāve made clear already.
This episode was fantasticĀ though, and theyād be fools not to bring him back. But within canon, theyāve squandered every chance they could use, and instead hammered his death home multiple times. They did it on Legends first, with Mick sending him back on his path and telling him he has to fulfill that destiny because it makes him a better man. And now theyāve done it on The Flash by having him repeat the line he goes out with. Hell, they did it when they had the speedforce tell Barry that he died in part because Barry inspired him. That solidifiedĀ that death.
If I were doing a purely canon textual analysis - heās dead and staying that way.Ā
Which is something Iāve suspected ever since he was a hallucination for Mick. Fool me once (hologram), shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I wondered then if they were serious about bringing him back or just wanted to use him, and what they were planning. And they had a perfect opportunityĀ to make him an aberration the way that Amaya is, or else to use the Spear and have Mick bring him back to life, but they didnāt take it.Ā
If I were to take a step back, I stillĀ maintain theyād be fools not to continue using him. But Iāve said that from beforeĀ they ever killed him, sure theyād never do it because heās such a popular character. As someone in marketing, it personally offends me that they would let him stay dead because itās such a waste.Ā
Bringing him back would be amazing. The fans love him. Heās a phenomenal actor. Heās an important character. They might have been waiting until this episode to see the fan reaction, and itās possibleĀ that the āno strings on meā was a hint at a changing fate instead of an ending. Realistically, there are still ways to bring him back and do right by it.Ā
But.
But The Flash isnāt Arrow. It hasnāt (permanently, for more than one episode) ever brought a characterĀ ābackā to life.Ā
So Iād say, honestly... donāt hold out hope. Unless we get a press release saying heās back, and even then, we had him ābackā this season, just shadows and hallucinations and falsehoods, or else past versions of him.
Barryās leaning against the computer console, Heās playing with his hands. Trying to not reach out and touch. Heās missed him for so long and now that heās standing here, in front of him, Ronnie Raymond. The man that he left behind in that Hotel Room almost three years ago. The man that he spent four long days with exploring and getting to know each other. He didnāt want to leave him, honestly but he didnāt want to stay either. He was getting too close, too soon.Ā
Barry looks up at him, Ronnieās standing a little far off, His eyes trained on the floor. He doesnāt regret the time that they spent together, Heāll never regret it.Ā
āNever. I donāt regret it. But I regret Leaving you. I didnāt mean to. I got scared and didnāt handle it with the proper care. But Ronnie believe me when I say I donāt regret the time that we spent together.āĀ
best quality:Loyal!! So damn smart!!!!! Would die for his friends but they donāt seem to care!!!!!!
āØ
worst quality: Honestlyā¦. Iām sure he has flaws but I canāt think of a single oneā¦
āØ
ship them with: Cyndi, Julian, Lisa, Barry (if itās an au where heās not being shitty), Hartley (once again if heās not being shitty)
āØ
brotp them with: Caitlin!! Theyāre qpps fight me. And Barry when he didnāt take Cisco for granted. And Iris too!!
āØ
needs to stay away from:Every. Single. Harrison. Wells.
āØ
misc. thoughts: Tbh I would die for him???? Heās so good and such a badass and he doesnāt even know how powerful he is. Iām waiting for the day he realizes heās more powerful than Barry but thatāll never happen since the show is called The Flash and not Vibe. But thatās what we have the dctv-vibe blog for, right?
