Title: Untitled / Heaven's Hands (as titled on AO3)
Fandom: Supernatural
Character/Relationship: Dean x Cas
Notes/Warnings: X-posted from my tumblr. Part 1 of 2, set post-4x11. Inspired by Hesitation by apokteino (which I'd link to but it's been taken offline). Another take on how 'Cas is ordered to seduce Dean' could have gone. CW consent issues.

Still, he hadn’t seemed to enjoy being on CSI: Angel Murder Squad. “I haven’t seen Anna, if that’s what you want to know.”
