A recap of Castiel’s journey from 4x01 to 6x22.have I ever mentioned how much I fucking love this video?
Rory and Castiel are not allowed to go drinking together anymore since the Incident With The Mistaken Garbage Can.
It started out innocently enough; the Ponds, the Winchesters and their respective non-humans were having their weekly ‘we averted the end of the world and now I need a freaking drink’ drink; everyone had their fill and drifted away. Except for Rory and Castiel who kept drinking. And drinking. Until the table was littered with shot glasses and Castiel was looking at the human with amusement.
For you see Rory Williams was a man who believed in having a happy marriage. And if having a happy marriage meant not telling his wife that he’d retained his ability to consume copious amounts of alcohol from the days when he was an overgrown Ken doll and could thus undermine her Scottish heritage by drinking her under the table, then so be it.
But that didn’t mean he couldn’t go out for the occasional drink with Castiel.
Which is how, after a night out on the town, the pair came to be dragging a dalek into the TARDIS by its eyestalk; Rory’s giggling so loud that it roused Sam from sleep and into the console room.
“What is that?”
Rory tripped up the ramp and looked at Sam in confusion. “Wassit look like? It’s a garbage can on wheels innit?”
Then the Doctor entered the room and gave the scene confronting him such a violent double take he might’ve pulled something.
But he needn’t have worried. For the dalek was dead. Dead and hollowed out. Neither the angel nor Rory the Roman were ever able to give a satisfactory explanation for how this came to be. The nearest anyone came was Castiel complaining that the tin can had a very grating voice, so he took its voice away.
Finally the Doctor had thrown his hands up into the air, “Well what are you going to do with it?”
And Castiel has smiled, really smiled, pleased as punch and replied “I’m going to hang my coats on it.”

Oh yes! I was hoping someone would ask me this.
Big spoon/little spoon: They’d take turns depending on their needs. Balthazar would probably be the big spoon more often because he likes holding Cas to reassure himself that he’s still going to be there in the morning and Castiel likes being held since it makes him feel loved so it works well.
Favorite non-sexual activity: Travelling, Balthazar was horrified to find out Castiel had barely left America since he’d first come to earth. He wasn’t going to be happy until they’d sat on a beach in Phuket at sunset.
Who uses all the hot water in the morning: Castiel, he’d stand under the water and get too thoughtful only stumbling out when the water suddenly becomes icy.
What they order from take out: Pizza. At the start Balthazar would order everything and anything he could think of, just so Castiel could find out what he liked. He was slightly horrified when Castiel ignored the Indian food he got directly from New Delhi in favour of the pizza shop just down the road from where they lived.
What is the most trivial thing they fight over: Doing the crossword. Balthazar does it in pen, Castiel argues it’s more logical to do it in pencil; he’ll hang over Balthazar’s shoulder the whole time making suggestions, they can never agree on five across.
Who does most of the cleaning: Castiel likes organisation, Balthazar doesn’t really give a shit. Castiel cleans when he’s feeling restless. If Balthazar suddenly decides they’re going to have sex on the coffee table, Cas folds both their clothes before he does anything.
What has a season pass in their DVR: Balthazar likes all the trashy shows: Keeping up with the Kardashians, Jersey Shore and The Girls of Playboy Mansion. Castiel has a strange fascination with old cop shows and medical dramas: ER, Grey’s Anatomy and the Bill.
Who controls the netflix queue: Balthazar since he’s never forgiven Cas for putting the animated Titanic movie on as a joke (“Singing Mice Castiel?”)
Who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working: Castiel, because Balthazar is not a handyman as much as he would like to think and Castiel is not fixing the hot water system after you blew it up again Balthazar!
Who steals the blankets: Balthazar, he gets cold during the night and ends up cocooned in blankets.
Who leaves their stuff around: Like I said before, Balthazar will leave his stuff everywhere, things would never be in their proper place if Castiel didn’t pick up after him.
Who remembers to buy the milk: Balthazar, only because Castiel has never seemed to work out the difference between sour milk and regular milk.
Who remembers anniversaries: They both make a point of knowing them. Balthazar just can remember them off the top of his head, Castiel likes writing them down on slips of paper and keeping them in his pocket so he has something physical to look at.
They have all just risen as one and said that no, of course Castiel is not dead. He’s just chilling at the bottom of the lake.
And Dean gets drunk and goes fishing using burgers as bait.
And Sam goes and shouts relationship advice into the lake and offers hugs to try and entice him out.
And Bobby is just like, fuck this shit, and is quietly learning how to scuba dive so he can go get his idjit angel out.
Oh yeah, and Jimmy is seriously unimpressed with this nonsense and he and Cas are going to be having a serious talk once this is all sorted out.
Damn it I love you guys.
You would think that many things would confuse Amelia Pond when it came to Castiel; the fact that there were angels for starters, that they seemed to like cheeseburgers (in her narrow experience), that they could sometimes communicate with the TARDIS and didn’t like cars.
But no.
There was only one detail that Amy kept picking over, and it was this: Castiel had never been hugged.
“But how is that possible? You’re like, a million years old. Someone must have hugged you at some point in your life.”
As always he shakes his head. They’ve had this conversation so many times it could almost be scripted as Amy glances at her husband, “Rory? Hug the angel.”
He looks up in alarm, “Erm…I would, but I saw what you did to that demon the other day, what if you accidentally do the finger tap of death thing? Because then I would be dead. Again.”
And they’d all go back to their tea. Then, one day, Amy breaks from tradition.
“Okay, fine. I’ll do it myself. You ready Cas? Coming in for the hug.” She crosses the room, a woman on a mission. Her arms are around him and she’s squeezing him almost too tightly and it’s warm and safe and, oh, Castiel understood the appeal of hugs now.
After that she made it her goal in life to hug him as many times as possible; hello hugs, goodbye hugs, bro hugs (initiated cautiously by Rory), the-tea-is-ready hugs, oh-my-god-we-save-the-world-again hug (with special guest appearance by the Doctor) and of course, the classic holy-shit-Cas-how-are-you-still-alive? hug.
So let’s suppose for a moment Dean wasn’t feeling as guilty as fuck and was the cocky son of a bitch we all know and love.
“Sure, call your third witness.”
And Osiris smiles this smile that just says oh damn son, you’re screwed now.
“I call Castiel angel of the Judeo Christian God to the stand.”
The Winchester’s faces fall; Dean starts trying to work out how much it’s going to suck to die this time round, Sam just tries to work out if he can throw his brother over his shoulder and run from the room.
Castiel takes the stand, still sodden from the lake and looking faintly confused about the whole thing.
“Castiel,” begins Osiris “would you please tell the court just why Dean should feel so guilty for killing you?”
Castiel turns his head to stare at Osiris curiously. “Is that why I’m here?”
He doesn’t look confused anymore, just downright irritated.
“Dean didn’t kill me, I’m not dead.” And he stands up, kicks over his chair. “Castiel out bitches!”
Then leaves in a cloud of BAMF and suddenly every virgin in a ten mile radius is magically deflowered.
Sam and Dean fistpump in triumph (or Dean would if he wasn’t still tied up).
Osiris would wonder if it was too early for retirement.
