post-purgatory

The one where Dean has to come a hundred times. Cas helps.

Just after Purgatory, but before whatever's next, Dean has a broken angel to put back together.

“He must hate me.” Those are the words running through his mind as soon as Dean kicks him out of the bunker. There was no other explanation. Maybe Dean finally realized he could never forgive him for all of the terrible things he had done. He knew better than to think he deserved to stay with the Winchesters after his short reign of terror as the “new god.” A small part of him is furious. Furious that after all of the things he’d done for Dean, the man couldn’t even be bothered to let him stay after being ripped from his grace, and made human. “So much for family.” A tiny, bitter part of his brain supplies. Mostly he’s just confused. And scared. And so, very, very cold."
