Sam says “I’m sorry” to Jack when they meet in the jail cell, and that’s he first time jack hears someone apologize. A few minutes later, jack asks Sam to tell the others “I’m sorry”.
Sam was already teaching Jack how to be human and he didn’t even know it.
A – Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.
B – A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.
C – A ship you have never liked and probably never will.
D – A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.
E – Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?
F – What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?
G – Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?
H – What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?
I – Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?
J – Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr. (You don’t have to care about it or follow it; it just has to be something that Tumblr made you aware of.)
K – What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?
L – Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)
M – Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.
N – Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).
O – Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?
P – Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).
Q – A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.
R – Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?
S – Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)
T – Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?
U – Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.
V – Which character do you relate to most?
W – A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.
X – A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.
Y – What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?
Z – Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)
I laugh every time because this is at the Opryland hotel and I used to work there and we used to vault these stages all the time because they’re so fucking high it’s ridiculous.
The portal to the other universe closes with Lucifer trapped on the other side, Castiel dead, and Jack born. In true fashion, Castiel does return, a little more broken the originally, but still good. Castiel begins doing things that he never pictured himself doing, like raising the offspring of Satan. Even Dean is trying to cut the bullshit and horrid Winchester habits out of his family’s life (lying, deceit, miscommunication). He tries his hand at “open communication” and “honesty”, and every once in a while puts effort into “talking about his feelings”.
Cas only wishes it wasn’t his secrets that may jeopardize their almost happy ending. However, he’s not the only one keeping them.
“No,” Dean insists. Great, now Cas is glaring him with squinty eyes, which is just how Cas normally looks at him, but with +5 irritation points.
Cas frowns at him deeply. “Dean, Jack is far more capable than he was before. We’ll all be there in case something happens.” He sips his coffee while still maintaining eye contact with Dean. Cas voice is strong and hard, like maybe he knows that Jack isn’t the only reason that Dean doesn’t want them going, like he’s getting ready to hold up his end of an argument. It’s a complete change to how calm he was just moments ago.
Dean bites the inside of his cheek. Cas’s defensive stance makes Dean want to push. Cas never can just listen, he had to go off and do his own thing. Could he just maybe do what Dean wanted him to for once? “Don’t make me say it, Cas,” he pleads. Something is starting to float around the room in dense heavy waves. It’s been so long since there was any conflict between anyone in the bunker, that it takes Dean second to realizes that it’s tension.
Cas slams his mug down on the table, causing coffee to slosh over the rim and splash against the table top. “Say what, Dean?” Cas’s right eyebrow arches up and leans closer to Dean. Why is Cas antagonizing him?
“Dude, c’mon,” Dean gestures to Sam and Jack. Sam looks like he wants to run out of the room and Jack seems…amused? Curious maybe. Dean nods across the table at them. “Let’s not fight in front of the kids, man.” He tries to lighten the mood, it obviously doesn’t work because Cas practically sneers at him.
Dean has to remind himself to keep his harsh words to himself. So he does what he most likely wouldn’t have done a year ago, and just says why he doesn’t want Cas and Jack to go on the hunt. Maybe if Cas hears Dean concerns, he’ll see that Dean is only trying to protect him?

Summary:
According to the tourist guide for St. Mary’s Harbour, the quaint little town nestled between the mountains boasts a magical lake with an island where the local goddess resides. Dean is the High Priest of the island’s temple (or priest, as Dean likes to point out, since you can’t really be a High Priest if you’re the only priest) and is rather unhappy with the recent influx of tourists.
When Sam introduces Dean to Castiel Novak, the town’s new director of the tourist board, Dean is immediately smitten, despite his initial reservations. But when Castiel congratulates Dean on the fantastic CGI effects in the town’s infomercial and highlights reel, Dean doesn’t quite know what to tell him.
“You mean you didn’t meet him?” He turned to Sam. “Cas didn’t meet Zachariah the Pariah?”
Sam pulled a face at the name, but didn’t protest. He shrugged and motioned them all to sit down. Dean bumped Sam out of the way to sit directly opposite Castiel. Sam glowered at Dean, but Castiel gave him a smile that made the skin around his eyes crinkle, so suck it Sammy.
“You know that we had him escorted off the premises last week and we didn’t allow him back into the building. And shortly after Judy arrested him anyway when he was caught hightailing it out of town”, Sam finally continued.
“I didn’t think you could hightail it out of town, I would have thought the overload of tourist buses would keep anyone from going any faster than 3 mph, and that’s on a good day when the traffic jam’s at least moving”, Dean marvelled.
“Yeah, well, turns out you really can’t; he got stuck between two buses just outside Pewter Street”, Sam grinned. He turned to Castiel to explain. “That’s just off the exit to the highway. But that’s not even the best part. Do you know how he got stuck between two buses? Both drivers had to stop because both buses just happened to run out of fuel at that exact moment.”
Castiel stared at Sam, wide-eyed.
“That… how did that happen? That’s the statistical equivalent of, I don’t know, being hit on the head by a flower pot while dancing a jig.”
Dean snickered.
“Yeah, well, welcome to St. Mary’s Harbour.”
Castiel looked doubtful.
“I’m not sure what that has to do with anything.”
“Dude,” Dean spluttered, “that’s got everything to do with it!”
“Are you referring to the magic lake mystery thing that’s all over your advertising for the town?” Castiel asked.
Dean could only stare at him. Then he rounded on Sam.
“You didn’t tell him.”
Sam buried himself in the menu. Dean stood up, asked Castiel for a moment and dragged Sam around the next corner.
“That’s why you’re here”, Sam said, sounding guilty.
“Honestly, Sam, sometimes I just don’t believe you. And you decided to do that, what, two hours before the board meeting? Does he even, you know, believe in that stuff? Because that would be good to know.”
Sam gave an apologetic shrug.
“It’s not really something I could ask him over the phone, and when he came for the interview he was a perfect fit and by far the most qualified applicant, and I didn’t want to ruin that-”
“-by asking whether he believed in magic and stuff? Jesus, Sammy, what do you expect me to do? Flash my magic bits at him?”
“It’s not like you’re not planning on doing that anyway, aren’t you”, Sam said dryly.
“Are you admitting that I’ve got a magic dick? Because that very much sounded like it, you know.”
