It’s a secret I keep tucked inside my chest,
With this heart of mine that’s guilty, not remorseful.
There is love that does not have a place to rest,
But it would have buried you if it had settled on your shoulders.
“Never Love an Anchor” by The Crane Wives

Dean’s part

Something the fandom likes to joke about is how much Castiel wants to beat up John Winchester, and I get that it’s a joke and a desire to see some justice on Dean’s behalf, but hear me out.
The only kind of love Dean has ever known is violence. Either to him or for him or by him or because of him. And he deserves a gentle, easy, simple love. A love that has never seen hate and anger and vengeance. Only goodness and grace and patience. A love he doesn’t have to fear.
See, I don’t think Dean would see Castiel hurting his father, even if it’s because his father had hurt him, as an act of love. I think he’d see it as more violence he manifested into the world. He’d convince himself he can’t escape it, that he’s poison. That this is what his love does to people.
And Cas would know this. Cas would want to show Dean all the ways the world is good and kind and sweet and all the ways Dean belongs in it.
Besides, if anyone deserves to kick John Winchester’s ass, it’s Mary or one of the kids. My money’s on Mary. She could take him easy. (And she deserved to. But that’s another post.)

loving you (in burning red) 📼
Five times Dean and Cas loved each other like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street, and one time they found a road to travel together that ends in love, in burning red.
Content warning for suicidal ideation and depression and canon-typical violence.
