summary:
As if in response to his thoughts, his own name, “Dean,” is being whispered syrup-slow under his ear. The guy has an interesting way of saying it, like it’s a puzzle piece he’s turning over. Inspecting it. Easing it into place with his tongue against the roof of his mouth.
Everybody has their own backstory. Dean gets a glimpse of the janitor’s mid-way through Tall Tales.
yo I just got this cool expansion pack called social anxiety
In season 14 episode 10, Nihilism, when Micheal traps Dean in his own mind while possessing Dean, he creates a fake version of Pamela along with a bar in order to keep him there. However, isn't it strange that Pamela is there, and not someone else Dean had a stronger connection to? No. In season 5 episode 16, Dark Side of the Moon (Sam and Dean go to heaven), Dean has a conversation with Pamela that makes him start thinking about saying yes to Michael, even though he doesn't end up doing so in that season.
(PAMELA: Yeah, well, close enough. Look, Dean, I’m happy. I’m at peace.
DEAN: What? Are you trying to sell me a time share? I mean, what’s with the pitch?
PAMELA: (chuckling) I know that Michael wants to take you out for a test drive.
DEAN: (interrupting) Pamela…
PAMELA: Just saying. What happens if you play ball with them? Worst case.
DEAN: A lot of people die.
PAMELA: And then they come here. Is that really so bad? Look. Maybe… you don’t have to fight it so hard. That’s all I’m trying to say.)
Pamela tells him that it wouldn't be so bad if Dean let Michael possess him. I think this is why she is in his mind prison that Michael creates in season 14. She tried to convince Dean to say yes to Michael, and almost did, therefore causing Michael to use her as a trick.
“pretty boy :3” i say. to my screen. on which there is a middle aged man deep in despair
4 for Crowley/Aziraphale?
:D :D :D
4: neck kisses
---
He's still giddy with it, all these weeks later. All of it. Earth, safe. Freedom won. Bookshop still standing.
Aziraphale.
Aziraphale, stirring awake beside him of a morning. Aziraphale soft and bleary over his tea as they wake up together. Aziraphale dusting and writing in his diary (there are hearts around every instance of Crowley's name in the recent entries, he's checked) and shooing the occasional customer before they can develop the impression that he actually sells books and peering through the window at Nina and Maggie, finally, tentatively getting their act together. Makes perfect sense, now that they've got a good example to follow.
Aziraphale existing. Just like he always has. Still fluffy-haired and soft and a perfect warm ray of angelic sunshine. In the same space as Crowley. In the same universe. He's so lucky. He's so lucky they're here and he doesn't care what it took to arrive. It was all worth it.
He's on his feet before he really decides to get up, striding across the bookshop, slotting himself seamlessly into Aziraphale's space.
"Crowley?" he asks. But it's not a squeak now, like it would have been once. There's curiosity in the curve of that question, and anticipation, too.
Crowley bends, just a little, and presses a kiss just above his miraculously neat collar.
Aziraphale giggles. Giggles.
He's so good. Everything about him. Crowley loves him so much.
"What was that for?" Aziraphale asks, a blush rising to his cherubic cheeks.
"That was for you," Crowley says, hooking his chin over Aziraphale's shoulder, draping himself over him. "For existing."
"I've existed a very long time," Aziraphale says.
"You have, haven't you?" Crowley smiles, and then turns his head to brush another kiss over Aziraphale's neck. "I'd better start catching up."
Imagine you hate a guy so much and then you watch him effortlessly offer up exactly what your closest friend and greatest love for the past 6,000 years still won’t give you. Crowley has literally suffered more than anyone in the history of the world
