macabrecas:

But an au where Cas is a great singer, but no one knows this because he’s so shy. Secretly, he’s dating Dean Winchester, a closeted soldier who was discharged from the military with PTSD, who comes to see Cas at the college he attends now and again under the guise of friendship, sometimes not even that. 

Then, after Dean suffers a bout of serious depression and episodes, Cas invites him to a concert he is in for the university choir. No one in the choir knows Cas can really sing - he’s there to fill up space really. 

Then, after permission from his instructor, he gets up there and does a solo of Bridge Over Troubled Water and at first, he’s so quiet, but as he grows more passionate for the lyrics and message, he belts it out. Clear, beautiful, precise. He even changes the lyrics a bit to be sail on silver boy, rather than girl. 

Dean’s in the audience and by the end he’s in tears. 

After the concert is over, the audience is floored, and Dean meets Cas backstage and Cas smiles at him and cups his face, which Dean always shuts his eyes, which are teary and red, and presses into his palm. Cas tells him he meant it and Dean says I know.
