Dean remembers having had the thought: "When did he start smiling like that?" on one of many occasions he'd seen Cas smile big -or at least big for Cas - an undeniable flash of teeth that often seemed to be drawn out in spite of himself. A prolonged pun, a pie he could taste, a tv commercial for a local mattress store with an overly themed advertising concept. Dean hadn't been able to recollect the first, but the warmth, he knew, carried through all of them.

Now, Dean suffers with his head in his hands with a new thought: "When did he stop smiling like that?". Cas had made the decision, at some point, to stop being happy, and somehow, Dean hadn't noticed. Cas had wondered what happiness looked like, but Dean could have told him, if he'd asked. It looked like crows feet crinkling, and a mouth twitching up, and a shake of the head, and the shifting light of the tv playing BIG TOP'S BIG LOW PRICES. It looked like safety. It looked like a nerd in a trench coat delighting in a novelty beer mug that said SO WHAT, IT'S MONDAY, even when that makes no goddamn sense as a joke. It looked like Cas. It looked like Cas.

Can someone do that graph thing with the frequency of names over time and put a dot on it when the muppets and sesame street came out

Sesame Street started in 1969 and basically made the popularity of these names absolutely TANK

@ilarual's "that's what you get when a sword falls in love with a shield I guess" is living rent free in my head because this is so beautifully and heartbreakingly true.

Dean: Let me fight by your side.

Cas: Allow me to keep you away from the battlefield.

Both results as Dean/Cas believing the other doesn't trust them whereas it's their way to show they care 😭

Whatever Makes You Happy

Whatever Makes You Happy by Rex_Writes Rating: Explicit Word Count: 27k

An aspiring songwriter, Dean Winchester spends his days in the local coffee shop, which just happens to be run by the most gorgeous man he has ever seen, Castiel Novak. This gorgeous man becomes his muse, songs flow out of Dean’s pen with the speed of a rushing river. Unfortunately, just like getting his songs heard, Castiel is just another thing Dean can’t have. He’s had his heart broken by a straight guy before and he can’t go through that again. Thankfully, Dean meets Lee Webb who is an amazing singer, AND he’s actually interested in Dean. Will Dean stay with the man who’s a sure thing or will he risk everything for whatever makes him happy?

Sometimes all a person needs to read in a summary is “songwriter Dean Winchester” for them to click the link. It’s me, I’m person and if you’re reading this, I hope you are too. In the case of this fic, I promise you won’t be disappointed. Aside from songwriter Dean, this fic also delivers hot barista Cas, who runs Dean’s favorite coffee shop where the longer Dean frequents, the more very specific things Dean might enjoy keep appearing. First its his favorite pastries as a daily offering to a completely on the nose open mic night created almost like it was made for him.

Thankfully, this fic comes chock full of misunderstandings and terrible interpretations of the obviously thoughtful gestures, something all good fics seem to include. Thankfully its double helping of cluelessness, until almost everyone around them is wondering how the two of them could be so oblivious. Yes, this fic does come with a bit of Dean/others with Lee being a big part of the story, but on the off chance that isn’t your thing, don’t let it detour you—this author keeps things more implied than anything between the two of them. Nope, that all get saved for our favs in a very satisfying ending that will leave you wishing for ten more chapters just to keep watching their story unfold. Don’t miss this one!
