Summary
In the aftermath there is nothing. Cas got swollen into emptiness and Dean thinks he copes. He does. In his own way.
He got nothing on Cas, that’s the final conclusion. But there’s a coat…
He needs it. At least until he gets his angel back.Or: A deep dive into how depression and grief mix. Makes you hollow and carved out like a tree-trunk. And how healing is never linear.

Summary
Castiel returns from the Empty, his wings restored and position as Commander of Jack’s Heaven absolute, but Heaven is still at war against rebel angels who want to reinstate Chuck and threaten all Team Free Will has fought for.
While Castiel commands the Heavenly Host from the bunker; he and Dean enter an arrangement; touch allowed, sex forbidden, feelings not discussed. They tells themselves they can manage the half-way, until it becomes clear they can’t.
War keeps pressing through the bunker walls, every touch means more than either of them can bear, and Dean’s attempt to drag himself back into being “old Dean” drives the knife deeper.
When the line finally breaks, it breaks catastrophically: sex, separation, and a loss so profound Dean is forced to understand, too late and all at once, the true scale of what Castiel is to him.
Desperate to reach Castiel in Heaven, Dean devises a plan to find Castiel on the war front.
Terms of Surrender is a long, aching fic about repression, devotion, bodily longing, a profound bond, the final supernatural war, and the process of Dean and Cas finally getting everything they have fought for.

Summary
There was no one left to pray to. No angels he cared about since Cas had been taken by the Empty. No God. There was Jack, whatever kind of God he was, but Dean didn’t pray to him either. He prayed to a thing inside himself. A creature who cowered and whined and hid its face under the blanket of a Hunter’s disguise, telling itself over and over that it was good. It was good and righteous and it had saved more than it had killed.

Summary
Dean got out of Hunting finally. He's moved out of the bunker and into his own little place with a job as a mechanic. He's gotten settled into his new life but still thinks about Castiel and how much he misses his best friend. He is completely unaware that while he's settling into his new life, Jack has gotten Castiel out of the Empty and is with him in Heaven.
Castiel swore not to step back into Dean's life but now couples are being murdered and now Dean finds himself back in the hunting world and after a near death experience during the case, he finds himself questioning if he made the right choice.
Especially when he and Dean go undercover as a couple to find out what is happening to the couples in the town Dean now lives in. It brings out repressed feelings and more new feelings that Dean has never had to deal with and he's now questioning his entire existance.
And his feelings towards the Angel that gripped him tight and raised him from perdition and that said angel that left a massive bomb on him before dying.

Summary
Castiel returns from the Empty, helps Jack rebuild Heaven, and then comes home to the bunker.
Dean tells himself that should be enough. Cas is alive, Cas is here, and they have all the ordinary domestic closeness Dean has wanted for years without ever daring to name it. Silence feels safer. Wanting feels survivable.
Dean is wrong.
Because Castiel does want more—and after months of being loved in every way except the one that matters, he starts trying to build a life that doesn’t depend on Dean ever speaking. As Dean watches Cas move further out of reach, jealousy, hunger, shame, and buried love turn ordinary life into a slow disaster.
Now Dean has to face the question he’s spent years avoiding: not whether he loves Castiel, but whether he can survive being loved back.
