Summary
"Now that's a match made in heaven, isn't it? The miracle worker and the grief expert. I wonder who will win?"
Dr. Castiel Novak is a pediatric oncologist at Seattle Mercy Children's Hospital, lovingly regarded by staff as the "Angel of Mercy" - because he's never lost a patient. Dr. Dean Winchester is a family psychologist and the department's unofficial expert on loss. The two have never met before, but when both are put on the care team for a little boy named Owen Mills, their paths finally cross.(A story about grief. And love. They're the same thing, after all.)

Summary
“Just so we’re clear,” Sam says once they’re about halfway back to the road, “you don’t think Cas is in heaven and that’s the only reason you haven’t let yourself die yet?”
“Well,” Dean makes a noise halfway between a laugh and a sob. He stops walking but doesn’t look back at Sam. “That’s a lot more succinct than I’d have put it. I just–I know what’s on the other side, and it ain’t him.”
Sam steps in front of Dean, forcing eye contact. “I’m sorry you didn’t get more time with him.”
And then he turns and keeps up the hike. After that, it’s a long time before Dean lets himself be alone with just Sam.
OR
Chuck's been defeated. Jack is gone. Cas is dead. Sam is ready to build a new life but Dean's grief threatens to consume him entirely. Sam, Eileen, and even Claire all want to help Dean through this darkness, but they worry it's only a matter of time before Dean can't keep fighting it anymore.
Dean’s loved ones watch as he monumentally self-destructs while grieving his angel. There will be eventual happiness.

Summary
Dean can’t help it. Castiel’s laugh is infectious, washing over him and sweeping him up in its tide. His throat and stomach ache with the feel of it, unfamiliar muscles worked past their endurance. He hasn’t laughed like this in weeks, maybe years.
Cas doesn’t stop laughing, and Dean relishes it. It’s such a good sound, deep and throaty. It rumbles over him the same way that Baby’s engine purrs, to where he can almost feel it in his gut. Dean’s giddy, the kind of happy that hunters don’t get to feel, and if it weren’t for the ceiling, he thinks he might float away. Cas’ eyes crinkle when he laughs, and his smile goes wide and gummy. He’s so brilliant, so alive—
But you’re dead, Dean thinks helplessly. But you’re dead.
---
Castiel Novak is one of the best hunters Dean Winchester has ever worked with. He's witty, whip-smart, and has enough knowledge about the supernatural to rival an encyclopedia. He's got humor dry enough to put the Sahara to shame and he's pretty easy on the eyes as well. All in all, he's the best partner Dean could have hoped for.
Too bad he's dead.
