i can’t believe dean and castiel’s love story started seven years ago today.

i can’t believe an angel battled his way through the pits of hell to rescue one battered, grimy, embittered soul– and that that angel was forever changed as a result of meeting that man. that both their paths were set askew by knowing each other; that they fought and disagreed and simmered and fell in love and started looking at each other like they were the only two people in existence.

i can’t believe that dean prayed to him every night in purgatory, that castiel gave up an entire army to save one man, that dean entrusted castiel with the location of the first blade, that castiel promised to stay by dean’s side for a literal eternity if that was what it took.

and that it all started on september 18, when dean winchester was saved and a celestial wavelength of intent, wrapped up in a trenchcoat and a tie, walked into a barn. and sparks flew.
