FILLED: Dean is sick and Castiel is worried (spoilers thru' 5.03) 1/3ariadnes_stringSeptember 30 2009, 14:12:48 UTC
Um....This doesn't have quite the slashy-ness I was hoping for, and it has a lot more about that other guy, the one whose name begins with 'S', than I planned. Guess I'm still processing 5.02 & 5.03. But there's still feverish Dean and comforting Castiel, so hopefully it's got some of what you wanted...

He drifted back into consciousness once during the night, just awake enough to catalog the damage: throat: raw; every muscle in his body: sore; head: aching like someone was tightening a vise. He slitted his eyes open; the room was dim, lit only by a sliver of light from the partly open bathroom door.
Someone had drawn a chair up close to the foot of the bed, and was sitting, straight-backed, hands on knees, watching him. For one vertiginous moment, Dean thought it was Sam.
Then he realized that the figure was too slight to be his brother, too short. Besides, if Sam had seen fit to take up some kind of ridiculous bedside vigil, he would’ve had the good grace to pretend to watch TV. Dean was kind of impressed Castiel had even remembered to sit down.
The angel leaned forward so that the band of light illuminated his face. He cocked his head minutely at Dean, in a gesture which seemed to mean go back to sleep. So Dean did

3Dean woke again to full daylight, sun streaming into the room between drawn curtains. He was alone in the bed, his t-shirt sticking damply to his skin, pools of sweat in the hollow of his collarbone and the small of his back

You are mad of win! Awesome. That was a perfect mix between angst - because Dean missing Sam HURT like a bitch - and comfort ... because Castiel being worried about him was so cute. It was bittersweet and angsty and dark and really really adorable. And there was cuddling! *_* Thank you so much for writing this for me. I really really appreciate it.

you're sweet to ask! It's nothing serious, just facing down a lot of projects and commitments that seem overwhelming--but everyone's healthy and safe (knock on wood), so no worries on that front--

Haha, CASTIEL. This was lovely. I especially enjoyed Castiel shushing Dean and Dean thinking it was probably the kind of noise Jimmy had used to soothe his daughter. That was adorable and really sad at the same time.

This was fantastic! And I don't even like Castiel. Maybe I'm growing to... but it's a slow, confusing process. Anyway, this was beautifully written and full of wonderful little details.

And he made a shushing sound that Dean thought was probably the kind of noise Jimmy had used to soothe his daughter long ago.

Thanks so much--I'm totally chuffed you liked it! *blushes and blushes*
I understand your ambivalence about Castiel--I can only get my head around certain flavors myself. But it is kind of interesting to have Dean play off someone who's outside the Winchester mishigas--or who has a different perspective on it at least. And his batshit devotion this season is kind of a scream--
And I like the idea that the body he's using might have certain sense memories...(like in "Direct Eyes")

I have a huge thing for Castiel comforting Dean, too. ;)
