Author: allmystars
Dean has this fantasy, this thing he wants to do, and it's cheesy. So cheesy, but maybe, just maybe, he can get Castiel to play along without knowing it.
Or, 5 times Castiel sucked at skating, and 1 time he doesn't do too badly.

He wakes up alone in a dark, musty warehouse. He doesn’t remember how he got here, or what he was doing, but one thing he does know: Michael’s gone. He doesn’t recall expelling him, or Michael leaving voluntarily--unlikely, if he’s being honest with himself--but he knows the angel is no longer possessing him.
The first move he makes is to get off the floor. It’s so much more effort than he’s used to. Everything in his body aches and his head is pounding like he’d drank an entire bar the previous night. He dusts himself off slowly, looking at his surroundings. There’s not much to make out. There’s dust swirling through the air and a fair amount of sunlight coming in from windows set high in the walls, so it’s either late morning or late afternoon. It’s not too cold or too hot, so he figures it’s probably late summer or early fall, depending on where he is.
He’s been away for so long.
The second move is to get the hell out of this place. He doesn’t know how long he’s been in this warehouse or how long he’s been back in control of his body. There’s a door at the other end of the warehouse, nestled between stacks of boxes, so he heads that way. It’s not locked, but it only leads him into an office with no other way out. Backtracking, he searches the warehouse again. Sure enough, hidden behind a line of shelves, there’s an emergency exit door. It’s alarmed, but that’s not something he has time to worry about right now.
He shoulders the door open, letting out a swift breath as he’s met with the brightness of the outside. Covering his eyes quickly, he peeks through his fingers to give his eyes time to adjust. After a few minutes, he surveys the area. There’s a gas station across the street with a few people lingering outside and two cars getting gas. He heads that way, huffing softly as he feels much more fabric swishing than he’s used to. Stupid Michael and his weird angel getup.
Water is the first thing he reaches for. He’s dehydrated, and he barely gets the cap off before drinking the whole bottle in five seconds flat. That earns him a weary look from the cashier, so he offers her as kind a smile as he can manage at the moment.
He checks his pockets, relief flooding through him when he finds a neatly-folded wad of cash. He grabs two more water bottles from the cooler before heading down the closest aisle. He grabs nearly everything in sight: candy bars, more bags of chips than he probably needs, beef jerky, and a few power bars, just to be on the safe side. He doesn’t know how far he is from home.

Remember how the literal plot of the entire season was about a) getting Cas back, b) getting Mary back and c) getting Jack back, about proving that Sam and Dean are unable to cope with a regression to their old lonely lives, that they’re absolutely unwilling to accept the possibility that they’ve lost the family that they’ve come to depend upon for stability? That the show’s initial structure, the one it cut its teeth on – Sam and Dean with no one to hold onto but one another – is not something that Sam and Dean actually want, or will ever be prepared to live with, ever again?
