Summary:
Set after 9x23 before the events of 10x01 (the time in between when Sam and Cas work together to search for Dean). Following Dean’s “death” and abrupt departure, Sam and Cas try to pick up the pieces. The two of them find comfort in one another. They form a relationship– one neither had planned on but that they fall comfortably into. Sharing a bed soon becomes more than just simply sharing a bed.
Trouble arises when Sam announces that Jess has miraculously come back to life. He’s eager to spend time with her. Cas is suspicious of Sam’s behavior, that he has forgotten his hunter sensibilities – one of which is exercising caution.
Weakened by his fading grace – borrowed grace from months ago expiring on him–, Cas knows his options are limited in getting Sam to see the truth. Cas needs to regain his strength. For that, he needs power. But Cas soon learns that it’ll take more than a power grab to save Sam.
