Summary
After the Leviathan burst out of Castiel's body, he died for the third time in as many years. He is brought back once more, however, not as an angel, but in a fragile human form. Even though he now understands the depths of his betrayals, his failures, Cas still turns to Dean. Cas knows that he doesn't deserve forgiveness, but even if God brought him back in this form as punishment, Cas is still committed to making good on his oath to Dean. He needs to redeem himself in Dean's eyes, to prove his sorrow and regret, to make it up to him and Sam, if that's even possible.
When Cas arrives at the late Rufus Turner's Cabin he finds Dean with a broken leg, Sam with a broken mind, and Bobby, well he's pretty much still Bobby. Being human is a terrifying new experience for Castiel, the emotions alone are overwhelming, and his guilt and sorrow over what he wrought on Earth and in Heaven threatens to consume him with every passing moment. No matter how difficult this new life, in this he will not fail: This is how he will repent. This is how he will express his love for Dean. A love that, as an angel, felt more abstract. Now that his vessel is his body? It begins to become something else entirely.

Summary
Immediately following the events of “Oath of Redemption,” Dean and Cas arrive at their motel room, expectations and sexual tension running high. There is a lot of fun to be had, but neither is exactly emotionally healthy and this is a big moment.
Told at first from Cas’s POV, then switching over to Dean’s POV for the majority of the story.
First times, blow jobs, and intimacy that Dean can’t quite handle. All wound together with some seriously wholesome love and fluff.
Warnings: anxiety, Dean’s extremely low sense of self-worth
Parts of this will make no sense if you haven't read "Oath of Redemption" but the smut that bookends the piece should still be enjoyable?

Summary
Thanks to the events of "Oath of Redemption" Dean is in a much better place, and never kills kitsune Amy. So when Cas and the Winchesters roll into town to investigate what turns out to be Osiris at work, Cas is the one who gets put on trial due to the weight of his guilt.
Update, July 18th: I got inspired to get into Dean's head immediately after what is now chapter 1 of this fic. If you read this before, chapter 2 is all the new stuff.
