Pairings: Temporarily unrequited Sam/Cas, past Dean/Castiel
Additional Tags: Sam Winchester/Castiel, temporary unrequited Sam Winchester/Castiel, past Castiel/Dean Winchester - Relationship, Dean Winchester & Sam Winchester, Explicit Sexual Content
Fic Summary: For so long, Sam loved Castiel in silence while the angel was with Dean. He ignored the sharp ache in his chest whenever Dean and Castiel built a life right in front of him. He swallowed his feelings between hunts, skipped meals, and long nights pretending he was fine.
Unfortunately, Dean finds out.
Even more unfortunately, so does Castiel.
Now, between all the heartbreak, guilt, and quiet devotion, there's apologies, grief, and the terrifying possibility that Castiel might love Sam back.

Summary: Castiel had gone missing. Yet again. But this time felt different to Sam. Mostly because of the vivid and wildly disturbing dreams that had been haunting him for weeks. The dreams felt almost prophetic in their intensity, and Castiel kept appearing to Sam, trying to give him clues as to how he might be able to rescue the wayward angel. All Sam needed to save the day was a little Latin, a touch of time travel, and the faith of his convictions. Oh, and to try to not look guilty as hell whenever Mt. St. Helens might get mentioned.

Sam fears attacking Castiel to drink his blood. Cas is desperate to help him no matter the cost. Rowena's idea for a cure is getting good magic from another world. She gives them an easy targetβ a dying good witch named Chris Halliwell. Not wanting anyone else to die, Sam stops Cas from stealing Chrisβs magic and demands Cas save him. With Jack's god power at his disposal, Cas heals an otherwise fatal injury. While in Chris's childhood home, Halliwell manor, they have three hours to remove Sam's curse. But death stalks the witch and forces delays in finishing the countercurse spell. Their time in this other world takes them to the manor's attic where an eerily empty playpen remains after a recent kidnapping down to the basement where an evil shadowy creature resides and lastly, a demon's underground lair where death lingers. It doesn't help that Sam and Cas also must sort out their feelings for each other following Castiel's love confession to Dean. Can Sam be freed from the curse before time runs out?
