If you ever get close to a human and human behavior (be ready to get confused)
bree_black | R | Spoilers: Through 5.22
In the weeks following the almost-Apocalypse, the men who fought to save humanity realize they have no idea how to be human themselves. While Dean Winchester struggles to make a place for himself in small town Indiana, his brother and his former guardian angel watch from a safe distance. Sam finds himself literally and painfully caught between his old life and Hell, while Castiel - fully human for the first time - copes with freedom, frailty and an intense new set of emotions. Reluctant to reveal their weaknesses to Dean, they hover around the edges of his new life. That is, until they sense that something darker and more sinister is watching Dean as well.
This is such a gorgeous study of just how much Dean means to both Sam and Castiel. He is the glue that holds his family together, even when he's not aware that they're around him. Both Sam and Cas care for and love him so much that they can't not be near him, yet they don't want to keep him from his chance at a "normal" life, free of everything bad from his past that they fear they represent to him. Really quite beautiful, poignant, and sometimes heartbreaking characterizations all around.
If you've never read this, I highly recommend that you do so; and if you have, read it again, as I plan to do very soon.
