team free will / castiel centric recs

[cerism.livejournal.com]

hi! so, i'm currently reading hail mary and i just feel for cas so much right now, because of how he holds onto his broken faith and his too-big heart and how he sees beauty in humanity, and it makes me sad to think of how he probably feels lost and alone sometimes, like he doesn't belong.

i'd like to read some fics that have sam and dean appreciating cas, treating him like family. team free will dynamics and like cas finally found a place where he belongs. and they don't just abandon him and take care of him when he's weak or crazy or whatever. fics where cas gets promoted (like to an archangel) would be awesome too!

also, i love gabriel and it'd be great if he's also a member of team free will or helps them out more often.

gen or slash, but destiel for the slash please - i don't ship sastiel. oh, and no 'normal' au.
