"There is no land but the land" by cassyl. Dean/Castiel. Summary: Sam has a plan to avert the Apocalypse and Dean has a secret admirer. Castiel isn’t particularly pleased on either count. Length: 7.500 words.

“So, what? Do I just sit here with my thumb up my ass until Sam says yes to Lucifer?” Cas is silent, the hiss of static the only sign that he’s still on the line. “You know, I really don’t get it. You’re perfectly happy to play doctor to Sam while he detoxes, but now that we have our first real lead since the Colt, you’re suddenly all hands off? Well, thanks for nothing. You know, it’s not just Sam who . . .” The words dry up in his throat, which only makes him angrier. “Whatever option I’ve got, no matter how long the odds, I’ve gotta take it.”

“Whatever option, Dean?” Cas’ voice is sharp and knowing, and Dean feels a flare of shame go through him.

I'm kinda in love with this pairing these days \o/
