Carry On Wayward Angels

no but srsly tho why does dean look so freaked out about mary aiming a gun at cas even though he knows guns don’t kill angels i am so disgusted (x)

au request: paleontologist dean + feral scientist/dinosaur-whisperer cas (jurassic park au)

“I believe the correct term is dinosaur whisperer,” says Castiel. The tiniest edge of a smile tugs at the corner of his lips, and he strokes the top of the diplodocus’s head, maybe out of idle habit, maybe to comfort the beast. Dean has no fucking clue. When Cas—mysterious, quirky, earnest Cas—had told him he had something more interesting than old, dusty bones to show him, Dean had had something very different in mind.

Castiel cocks his head to one side. “Are you alright, Dean?” he asks. “I did tell you I had something unusual you might be interested in.”

Cas looks so far away astride the dinosaur’s neck. Dean scrambles into a standing position—and nope, that doesn’t help, because he’s still trying to reach eye level with a fucking dinosaur.

“Sorry man, it’s just a little hard to keep my cool when the hot guy I was chatting up swoops in with an extinct goddamn species.” And maybe Dean is aiming for flippant, but he can’t keep the quaver from his voice. This shit is epic. This shit is… well, it’s out of his league, whatever it is.

But seated on the diplodocus, miles (or yards, or feet, or maybe Dean isn’t sure, he just knows it’s far) above him, Castiel lights up. He runs his hand through his hair and his smile widens.

“I was reading through the lore” and cassiel is an ARCHangel. In almost everything I’ve read he’s one of the 7 archangels. He’s also known for falling in love with the righteous man 😚 and now i finally know why some people spell Cas as CASS. there are MANY pronunciations of his name but the most commonly used translation is cassiel…. So it would make sense why his contact in deans phone is the shortened version of his most used name.

“Castiel is sometimes considered a variant of Cassiel. The name Castiel does not appear in the Bible, nor does it appear until around the 13th century. Later texts say Castiel is an angel who presides over Thursdays, and it is likely he came to be based on an older mythological character (likely Cassiel).”

Misha Collins on Castiel being a “fish out of water”

“Chill, Cas. Do you want a burger before I revive you?”

AU in which Death!Dean fell in love with an angel that just keeps on dying (and being revived).
