A Dean/Castiel Fanmix

Aug 22, 2011 04:38

Title: What Is This Love
Author: bloodonmyfangs
Genre and/or Pairing: Alt Rock/Pop; AU; Angst/Love; Dean/Castiel.
Rating: PG.
Spoilers: Through 6x22.
Warnings: Alternates between sweet, feel-good, and/or sexy songs to dark and angsty ones. A bit heavy on The Tea Party (three songs worth). I honestly wouldn't be surprised if some of these songs have shown up on other people's fanmixes, as they seem pretty obvious Dean/Cas to me. Apologies for the redundancy, if so.





A/N: This is my first Dean/Cas fanmix, as well as my first contribution to the Dean/Cas fandom in general. I actually started compiling this mix at the start of season 6, but I was never quite happy with it back then and well… things definitely changed between the characters as the season progressed. I'd say it ended up becoming a very different mix than the one I originally started out with. Anyhoo, in my head this mix encompasses many of the aspects of their intense but complicated relationship (their sexual tension and unrequited/unacknowledged desire for one another included) during seasons 4 and 5 (tracks 1-9), as well as the hurt and betrayal they both feel in season 6 (tracks 10-13). It also offers a little redemptive hope for a potential/AU season 7 (tracks 14-15), though my actual hope for the season may be rather dim at best…

P.S. - I managed to restrain myself, but I wish I could have fit the entirety of Coldplay's A Rush Of Blood To The Head and X&Y, as well as Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More on this fanmix. I highly recommend all three albums for putting you in the headspace for Dean/Cas.

1. Melissa Etheridge - Angels Would Fall (Cas)
A/N: This song embodies Castiel's stalkerish infatuation with Dean. In particular, the almost shameful novelty of it during much of S4.

The rope that's wrapped around me
Is cutting through my skin
And the doubts that have surrounded me
Are finding their way in
I keep it close to me
Like a holy man prays
In my desperate hour
It's better, better that way

So I'll come by and see you again
I'll be such a very good friend
Have mercy on my soul
I will never let you know
Where my mind has been

Angels never came down
There's no one here they wanna hang around
But if they knew
If they knew you at all
Then one by one, the angels
Angels would fall

I've crept into your temple
I have slept upon your pew
I have dreamed of the divinity
Inside and out of you
I wanted more than truth
I can taste it on my breath
I would give my life, just for a little
A little death

So I'll come by and see you again
I'll be just a very good friend
I will not look upon your face
I will not touch upon your grace
Your ecclesiastic skin

Angels never came down
There's no one here they wanna hang around
But if they knew
If they knew you at all
Then one by one, the angels
Angels would fall
Sweet angels

I'll come by and see you again
And I'll have to be a very good friend
If I whisper, they will know
I'll just turn around and go
You will never know my sin

Angels never came down
There's no one here they wanna hang around
But if they knew
If they knew you at all
Then one by one, the angels
Angels would fall

There's no one here they wanna hang around
But if they knew
If they knew you at all
Then one by one the angels
Angels would fall
Oh, angels
Angels would fall

2. Alanis Morissette - Uninivited (Dean)
A/N: Cas wasn't the only socially awkward, trenchcoat wearing angel willing to give it all up for the sake of a human. ;) (If, like Cas, you don't get the reference, this song can be found on the soundtrack to City Of Angels.)

Like anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me
Like any hot-blooded woman
I have simply wanted an object to crave
But you, you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight

Must be strangely exciting
To watch the stoic squirm
Must be somewhat heartening
To watch shepherd need shepherd
But you you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight

Like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
You speak of my love like
You have experienced love like mine before
But this is not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight

I don't think you unworthy
I need a moment to deliberate

3. The Tea Party - Soulbreaking (Cas)
A/N: Cas can see the pain inside Dean all too well…

If fate holds a purpose
You feel fate will lend a hand
It saves face deserts you
It deals grace from underhand
And every time the past's awakened
Every time your soul starts breaking

You can't stand the distance
You can't stand to not be afraid
You won't show resistance
You can't seem to run away
Because every time the past's awakened
Every time your soul starts breaking

In the face of the fire
You see angels conspire
Will they hear you desires
Will they stop your soulbreaking
Could they stop your soulbreaking

You won't say you're hurting
You still dream in the undertow
Just a safe place a haven
Just a kind face just to overthrow
Every time the past's awakened
Every time your soul starts breaking

In the face of the fire
You see angels conspire
Will they hear your desires
Will the stop your soulbreaking
Could they stop your soulbreaking

Will they stop your soulbreaking
Could I stop your soulbreaking
Please love

Every time the past's awakened
Every time my soul starts breaking

4. Fuel - Falls On Me (Dean)
A/N: "What's the matter? [pause] You don't think you deserve to be saved." - 4x01.

I've seen you hanging round
This darkness where I'm bound
And this black hole I've dug for me
And silently within
With hands touching skin
The shock breaks my disease
And I can breathe

And all of your weight
All you dream
Falls on me it falls on me
And your beautiful sky
The light you bring
Falls on me it falls on me

Your faith like the pain
Draws me in again
She washes all my wounds for me
Darkness in my veins
I never could explain
And I wonder if you ever see
Will you still believe?

And all of your weight
All you dream
Falls on me it falls on me
And your beautiful sky
The light you bring
Falls on me it falls on me

Am I that strong
To carry on?
I might change your life
I might save my world
Could you save me?

5. Evanescence - Good Enough (Cas)
A/N: Cas realizes just how much of a hold Dean has on him, and how far he is willing to go to help the human he cares so much for. Could be a good song for 4x22.

Under your spell again
I can't say no to you
Crave my heart and it's bleeding in your hand
I can't say no to you

Shouldn't let you torture me so sweetly
Now I can't let go of this dream
I can't breathe but I feel

Good enough
I feel good enough for you

Drink up sweet decadence
I can't say no to you
And I've completely lost myself and I don't mind
I can't say no to you

Shouldn't let you conquer me completely
Now I can't let go of this dream
Can't believe that I feel

Good enough
I feel good enough
It's been such a long time coming
But I feel good

And I'm still waiting for the rain to fall
Pour real life down on me
'Cause I can't hold on to anything

This good enough
Am I good enough
For you to love me too?

So take care what you ask of me
'Cause I can't say no

6. The Tea Party - Angels (Dean)
A/N: That time when Dean was all needy and demanding… Oh wait, that happens a lot.

Another holiday from all the vampires
And all the sycophants caught on the high wire
So sexy, sexy babe you know I need some
To pass the time away, to get relief from
All this life that's filled with wanton tragedy

Just like a runaway with no escape zone
You'd think I'd find a way, you'd think I'd fake one
But all my life's been filled with wanton tragedy

Where's my angels, I'm a naked soul
Where's my angels, I'm a naked soul

So just for heaven's sake, I'll try to face this
It's just a chance you take to get a last kiss
So sexy, sexy babe you know I need some
To pass the time away, to get relief from
All this life that's filled with wanton tragedy

Where's my angels, I'm a naked soul
Where's my angels, I'm a naked soul
Now don't you hide from me
Don't you hide from me x3
All right

All my life's been filled with wanton tragedies

Where's my angels, I'm a naked soul
Where's my angels, I'm a naked soul
Now don't you hide from me
Don't you hide from me x3
Please don't

7. Muse - Undisclosed Desires (Cas)
A/N: Hell yes they have sexual tension...

I know you suffered
But I don't want you to hide
It's cold and loveless

I won't let you be denied

Soothe me
I'll make you feel pure

Trust me
You can be sure

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past

I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

You trick your lovers that you're wicked and divine
You may be a sinner
But your innocence is mine

Please me
Show me how it's done
Tease me
You are the one

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask

I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

Please me
Show me how it's done
Trust me
You are the one

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

8. Earshot - Closer (Dean)
A/N: Castiel has issues with personal space; Dean pretends it bothers him. This song may also bring to mind the alleyway beat down scene in 5x18.

Hopelessly, silently,
I want you to set me free,
Wash me, make me clean

Take my hand,
You feel so cold
I can't hold you
Like the day, the way I hit bottom

Little bit, a little bit, a little, a little bit
(little...)
A little bit closer
Little bit, a little bit, a little, a little bit
(little...)
A little bit closer

No I can't explain
(Little bit, a little bit closer...)
Why I feel so strange
(Little bit, a little bit closer...)

Selfishly, carelessly,
You thought you could rescue me
And now you make me bleed

Take my hand,
you feel so cold
I can't touch you
like the day, the way I hit bottom

Little bit, a little bit, a little, a little bit
(little...)
A little bit closer

Little bit, a little bit, a little, a little bit
(little...)
A little bit closer

No I can't explain
(Little bit, a little bit closer...)
Why I feel so strange
(Little bit, a little bit closer...)

I can feel when you're near
I can feel when you are
Closer than I'd like to be yet
Still far enough away
When all this ends,
And it clears, and we fear
When we look and its gone....

Little bit, a little bit, a little, a little bit
(little...)
A little bit closer
Little bit, a little bit, a little, a little bit
(little...)
A little bit closer

No I can't explain
(Little bit, a little bit closer...)
Why I feel so strange
(Little bit, a little bit closer...)

I can feel it in the air...

9. Coldplay - What If? (Both)
A/N: They may have just helped one another avert the Apocalypse, but at the end of S5, they each go their separate ways…

(Cas:)
What if there was no light
Nothing wrong, nothing right
What if there was no time
And no reason or rhyme
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there by your side
That you don't want me there in your life

What if I got it wrong
And no poem or song
Could put right what I got wrong
Or make you feel I belong
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there by your side
That you don't want me there in your life

Oooooh, that's right
Let's take a breath, jump over the side
Oooooh, that's right
How can you know it if you don't even try
Oooooh, that's right

(Dean:)
Every step that you take
Could be your biggest mistake
It could bend or it could break
But that's the risk that you take
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there in your life
That you don't want me there by your side

Oooooh, that's right
Let's take a breath jump over the side
Oooooh, that's right
How can you know it when you don't even try
Oooooh, that's right

Oooooh, that's right
Let's take a breath jump over the side
Oooooh, that's right
You know that darkness always turns into light
Oooooh, that's right

10. Blue Rodeo feat. Sarah McLachlan - What Is This Love (Cas)
A/N: Cas makes his decision to work with Crowley. Of course, there will be consequences.

What is this love
That I leave behind
How can I turn
From the tears in your eyes
What is this world
Where we always pretend
That it is worth it
Worth it in the end

What is this life we share
That I just throw away
Is this love
That causes so much pain
What is the promise
That I leave behind
Why can't I
Just lie beside you again

What's going on
How'd it get so wrong
What's going on
How'd it get so wrong

What is this dream
That I'll never find
What is the prayer
That's stealing my mind
What is this deal
That I've made with fate
And I wonder
If I have left it too late

What's going on
How'd it get so wrong
What's going on
How'd it get so wrong

11. The Tea Party - Oceans (Dean)
A/N: Vulnerable, confused early S6 Dean. Strip away Dean's anger towards Cas during their conversation in the hotel room in 6x06, and perhaps what he really wanted was this: Just for Cas to stay a while. How I wish he would have actually said it aloud...

Where are you going
Can I follow
'Cause distance is hard to swallow
You should stay a while
Let's have a drink
Let's have a laugh

You feel power
And no worries
If that's so
Then what's your hurry
If you've got to go
There's just one thing I've got to ask

If I promised an ocean
Would you care for the notion of
Staying here and resting your weary head
It's all that she said

Well the sky's changed
That's for certain
Your smile stays
What you working
Time heals all
This we know
We'll work it out

And if I promised an ocean
Would you care for the notion of
Staying here and resting your weary head
And would you come back and see me or
Angel am I dreaming 'cause
Heaven knows that I'll miss you so
And that's a fact
Look now where I'm at
I miss you so
Look now where I'm at
I can't let go

There's more questions
Than there's answers
I'm not taking any chances
'Cause I need to let you know
Just how I feel

And if I promised an ocean
Would you care for the notion of
Staying here and resting your weary head
And would you come back and see me or
Angel am I dreaming 'cause
Heaven knows that I'll miss you so
I'll miss you so

Look now where I'm at
I miss you so
Look now where I'm at
I miss you so
I can't let go
I miss you so

12. Mumford & Sons - Thistle And Weeds (Cas)
A/N: This song perfectly captures the brokenness and desperation Cas feels throughout the latter half of S6, and episode 6x20 particularly.

Spare me your judgements and spare me your dreams
Cause recently mine have been tearing my seams
I sit alone in this winter clarity which clouds my mind
Alone in the wind and the rain you left me
It's getting dark darling, too dark to see
And I'm on my knees, and your faith in shreds, it seems

Corrupted by the simple sniff of riches blown
I know you have felt much more love than you've shown
And I'm on my knees and the water creeps to my chest

But plant your hope with good seeds
Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds
Rain down, rain down on me
Look over your hills and be still
The sky above us shoots to kill
Rain down, rain down on me

But I will hold on
I will hold on hope

I begged you to hear me, there's more than flesh and bones
Let the dead bury the dead, they will come out in droves
But take the spade from my hands and fill in the holes you've made

But plant your hope with good seeds
Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds
Rain down, rain down on me

13. Foo Fighters - I Should Have Known (Dean)
A/N: It's honestly difficult for me to not think about Kurt Cobain with this song, but ignore that for a little while and it becomes eerily fitting for 6x22. *sob*

I should have known that it would end this way.
I should have known there was no other way.
Didn't hear your warning.
Damn my heart gone deaf.

I should have known, look at the shape you're in.
I should have known, but I dove right in.
One thing is for certain.
As I'm standing here.
I should have known.

Lay your hands in mine.
Heal me one last time.
Though I cannot forgive you yet.
No, I cannot forgive you yet.
You leave my heart in debt.

I should have known, I was inside of you.
I should have known, there was that side of you.
Came without a warning.
Caught me unaware.

I should have known, I've been here before.
I should have known, don't want it anymore.
One thing is for certain.
I'm still standing here.
I should have known.

Lay your hands in mine.
Feel me one last time.
Though I cannot forgive you yet.
No, I cannot forgive you yet.
You leave my heart in debt.
No, I cannot forgive you yet.
No, I cannot forgive you yet.
You leave my heart in debt
I should have known.

Maybe you was right.
Didn't want a fight.
I should have known.
Couldn't read the signs.
Couldn't see the light.
I should have known.

Though I cannot forgive you yet.
No, I cannot forgive you yet.
You leave my heart in debt.
No, I cannot forgive you yet.
No, I cannot forgive you yet.
You leave my heart in debt.
No, I cannot forgive you yet.
No, I cannot forgive you yet.
You leave us all in debt.
I should have known.

14. Coldplay - Warning Sign (Cas)
A/N: Hopeful AU for S7: Cas realizes his mistakes and asks for forgiveness. (And hopefully gives up those souls voluntarily...)

A warning sign,
I missed the good part then I realized,
I started looking and the bubble burst,
I started looking for excuses.

Come on in,
I've got to tell you what a state I'm in,
I've got to tell you in my loudest tones,
That I started looking for a warning sign.

When the truth is,
I miss you,
Yeah the truth is,
That I miss you so.

A warning sign,
You came back to haunt me and I realized,
That you were an island and I passed you by,
You were an island to discover.

Come on in,
I've got to tell you what a state I'm in,
I've got to tell you in my loudest tones,
That I started looking for a warning sign.

When the truth is,
I miss you,
Yeah the truth is,
That I miss you so,
And I'm tired,
I should not have let you go,
No...

So I crawl back into your open arms,
Yes I crawl back into your open arms,
And I crawl back into your open arms,
Yes I crawl back into your open arms.

15. Buckcherry - All Of Me (Dean)
A/N: Hopeful AU for S7: Dean apologizes and finally realizes just how much Cas really means to him. This fluff would never happen on the show, but shhh, let's pretend.

All of me
Please take all of me
'Cause you are all I see
Everything to me

When you're gone, I am lost
I wanna be forgiven, but I am not
And if I hurt your feelings, I will stop
So please, don't turn away from me
And have a little faith now

'Cause baby, you were there
You always seemed to care for me
And this is where I belong
I never was aware
And suddenly it came to be

And this is what I've become
Opened up my eyes
And made me realize
That you would take all of me

Please take all of me, yeah
'Cause you are all I see
My blue eyed ocean breeze

When it all falls apart
I wanna live forever, don't we all?
It's not like we don't ever get along
So please don't turn away from me
And have a little faith now

'Cause baby, you were there
You always seemed to care for me
And this is where I belong
I never was aware
And suddenly it came to be

And this is what I've become
Opened up my eyes
And made me realize
That you would take all of me

Miss you all the time
Underneath a stormy sky
You take away the rain
And leave me with a sunny day
Stay here by your side
And never let you go now

'Cause baby, you were there
You always seemed to care for me
And this is where I belong
I never was aware
And suddenly it came to be

And this is what I've become
You opened up my eyes
And made me realize
That you would take all of me

Please take all of me, yeah
'Cause you are all I see
Everything to me

Hope you enjoy~
