Sam and Dean lose track of the days sometimes, out there on the road. So when they come back to the bunker and open the door on what smells like a feast, they were momentarily confused.
“Is that pie?” asked Dean, moving a bit cautiously.
Out of the kitchen came Jack, in an utterly ridiculous apron. “Come on and eat. It’s Thanksgiving.”
They headed down and sure enough Jack and Castiel had fixed an enormous spread. Charlie and Dorothy came around too. They even found Crowley skulking around and made him eat an enormous serving of marshmallow sweet potatoes.
Jack looked around at everyone smiling and laughing and enjoying the moment and gave a silent thanks for the families he’d made for himself. Castiel appeared by his side and took his hand. They didn’t need to speak, they were thinking the same thing.

Volunteers
Harkstiel ‘First Kiss Video’ AUSterile and bright as a surgical theater, the studio for this ‘first kiss’ video gave Castiel second thoughts about volunteering. Then again, he found the stark whiteness of it (and the lack of anything porn-related) comforting. The stack of waivers he’d signed seemed on the level, but it was still a strange kind of recruitment. Here and now, the efficiency of the set drove home the reality of the event.
His initial volunteer form included spaces for gender preference, and if there were any physical types or characteristics that would make him feel unsafe. He’d left his options open. There were a number of other people here today with him, and Castiel scanned the knot of people at the little spread of breakfast snacks, wondering who he’d be partnered with. He helped himself to a strawberry yogurt and a bottle of water, trying very hard to be warm and friendly without making much eye contact. Best not get attached to anyone. This wasn’t a game of kickball; he didn’t get to pick a team. Castiel flipped the spoon in his mouth, licking at the curve while surveying the field. He wasn’t here to get anyone’s number, he reminded himself. This was someone’s video project, he’d volunteered because of the inherent thrill. Acting like a smarmy pick-up artist would result in nobody inclined to kiss him at all.
Not that Castiel was sure he could DO ‘smarmy.’ According to his friends, his flirtation came off as ‘earnest,’ or ‘nuts.’ No in between.

the best ships are the ones who aren’t originally written to be together
they develop on their own, they get their stories beyond each other, it’s never about them-as-couple as it is about them-as-people
and then the story itself evolves until these characters make so much sense, they’ve come to life together in ways that no one could have expected, and suddenly there’s no option but for them to be together
not because of a script or a plot but because of pure chemistry and character development and the natural forces that create real-world relationships too. love isn’t scripted.
You guys, I have so many feels about this. So, so many.

Summary:
Castiel is there to tend to Jack.
Jack and Cas take a few years off of chasing bad guys and run a bar on a backwater moon. Jack sings and provides the entertainment. Cas runs the bar. And people learn very quickly not to fuck with either of them. They take care of their neighborhood and Cas adopts a bar cat. If illicit things occasionally happen in the back room, well they just better not be too awful or there’s gonna be a pissed off angel to deal with. Jack find this hilarious.
“He’ll smite you, friend,” Jack smiled at the harasser. He glanced over his shoulder at the angel glowering from the back bar. “I’ve seen it myself. Bits.” One hand encompassed the bar with a wave, “…*Everywhere.* You know what canned soup looks like?”
That wasn’t true – ‘smiting’ resulted in charred meat and smoking eyeholes, and Castiel reserved that maneuver for demons only these days. But Jack liked to embroider his stories, and his tastes ran wet and lurid.
Lol, I love this, merindab. Thank you!

Don’t mind me, I’ll just be over here sobbing about my ship. (Thanks merindab, now I’m completely ruined for anything tonight.
No wait c’mere bb ilu.)
I was just surprised you’d never heard it before. But you know I <3 your.

Harkstiel ;) (though I’d think the who dies first is kinda a wash)
- who the fuck put the peeps in the microwave
Jack would put the peeps in the microwave, under the guise of showing Castiel something fascinating. Castiel would watch this procedure with interest, be fascinated by the resulting mayhem, and proceed to microwave 456184104 peeps afterward in all different shapes, colors and flavors, because they all blow up differently.- who forgot to put the cat outside before sex
Cas, because it just never seemed like a relevant thing to do. And when the cat decides to walk up Jack’s back in the middle of sex, a threesome comment will be made.- who posts vines of the other doing embarrassing shit
Neither. Security protocol breach!Seriously though Torchwood probably has its own fucking Etsy account at this point, not to mention Vine, YouTube, Twitter and Tumblr.- who breaks the most phones
Castiel has fried so, so many phones in a fit of anger. And there was that one time he left it in the pocket of his slacks during a really fucking mindblowing quickie. This is why they check Cas for tech these days before going at it.- who dies first
Aha. Ahahaa. AHaahaHAhaHaHAhahaaaa *choke*- which one I could see as being lactose intollerant
I’d believe it if Cas was lactose intolerant, god knows what weird effect an angel’s Grace could have on a vessel over time. Or Jimmy might have been, which then human!Cas would get the misery of experiencing. Jack would be externally sympathetic until Cas farts with every step on the way up the stairs from the basement and, I mean, Cas farting would be like a cat farting, glaring at you disapprovingly while making unholy sounds out the back. Jack would probably end up metaphorically rolling around on the rug.- who thinks they can do something really well even though they can’t
Oh good grief, both of them. And they get super ridiculously pissed when the other one (or the team) sees them fuck up.- who is more likely to get kicked out of the bed
Neither one, really. Given how rarely I imagine they’d actually sleep when they’re in the same vicinity, in my head they’re usually all tangled up in each other. Cas gets overstimulated easily and likes to sleep pressed up hard against Jack at night because it’s calming. Jack likes feeling Cas’s arm around his stomach like a seatbelt. Makes him feel needed. If they did fight in bed I think one of them would leave, rather than anyone need to be kicked out. And go throw a vase at the fireplace.- who uses the computer most
Castiel. And I say this because all the Torchwood paperwork would fall to him, because he’s the only one of them willing to ever fucking do it, period. Jack’s addicted to his Torchwood software, but usually he’s got staff to do things for him.I was not aware harkstiel was a ship.
I like it.
I want more of it.
Welcome aboard 😀 we’re small but friendly!
