Finally caught up on this, it's been a horrible week where I haven't made it onto the internet :'(
This fic however has been a delight to read so far and I love this truly tender scene between Bobby and Dean. That really is the father figure that Dean needs in his life. As for Castiel, I'm just glad that he doesn't have to go through any more sleepless nights because he needs to take care of himself! And Dean can stop being a doofus.
I'm glad you're enjoying the fic so far. I told my RL friend that readers were about ready to strangle me over Dean, so they'd be really glad to see this chapter (and I could leave the house without fear again). And good advice: Dean, stop being a doofus.
You wrote him so true to character for me! And I love that he, along with Sam and Zoe rushed to Castiel's aide when the nightmare came! It really shows how he feels about Cas!
Bobby knows!! It doesn't surprise me at all that he knew something had been there for years. It was kind of hard to miss. :)
And I find the way that the news came out to be very realistic. Dean's willing to let him and Cas suffer to an extent but seeing Cas terrified out of his mind from flashbacks just because he wasn't willing to man up to his pseudo-father? Yeah, that would definitely be Dean Winchester's breaking point.
So excited to see what happens now that that's been taken care of. :D
Naturally Bobby had the bead on this from the get-go and Dean was getting his knickers in a twist for nothing. Just has to do everything the hard way, freaking Winchester to the bone.
I agree with you (clearly) that Dean might be able to go through all kinds of crap himself, but when it comes time to protect a loved one (even from nightmares) he's going to throw himself into it, consequences be damned.
I finally got around to read all of this (including Leap that makes the fall) and I LOVE it!!! It's just so sweet and lovely, and Dean and Cas are the cutest thing ever. How could anyone think Bobby wouldn't be ok with it ? He's awesome :D I love this story and I can't wait to see what happens next!
Well, hey, welcome to the Leap-verse :) I call this fic my Muse coping with the travesty that is S7 - like she felt the need to compensate for sinking of the Dean/Cas ship in canon by writing epic fluff.
You know, briefly, just to try it out, I considered writing a Dean/Cas fic where Bobby didn't approve... but I just couldn't see that ever being Bobby's reaction.
The only way I could ever see Bobby being against it is if he thought Dean being with an angel would end up getting him killed in the long run. But it wouldn't really be that he didn't approve so much as he was worried for Dean's safety, so I don't know that it would count.

This chapter was wonderful and to be honest 'stop being a doofus' is good advice for most men I know. Apart from Castiel. ;-)

Happy to hear you thought I wrote him in character! I was worried when he pulled out the sparkly baton that I'd crossed a line... ;)
