In honor of Destiel Day, I thought I would share the first Destiel fan-fic that I wrote. It was published some days ago on A03. It's a post-canon fix-it about how I think Dean and Cas would've reacted to seeing each other after The confession.

It's been two months since they defeated Chuck. Dean and Sam are free to live their lives, but with Cas gone and Jack not answering their prayers, it's hard to find joy in their new life. When Jack eventually shows up, he has Cas with him, human but fully alive. Dean rejoices in seeing him alive again, but he remembers all too well what Cas had told right before dying. And now he has to face the fact that Cas is in love with him.

“So you uh …”, Dean turned around and looked at Cas. Cas met his eyes with uncertainty. For a minute Dean found it hard to get a word out of his mouth, then he cleared his throat and said: “How’re you feeling? Better?” “Yes, I feel more well-rested now.” Cas nodded and they fell into silence once more. Dean hated silence. He wanted to fill it with something, to say something funny that would make Cas squint, but he couldn’t come up with a single thing to say. The silence stretched on and just as Dean was starting to contemplate making some small talk about the weather (he had no idea what weather it was today) Cas emptied his glass and got to his feet. “I’m gonna …”, he didn’t finish the sentence and just left the room to Dean’s relief.
