Spn 5x17 - Tumblr Posts

I know this is a gorgeous Cas scene, but there's something about Sam here that really tickles my interest. He's wary in a way that borders on fear once he gets past 'incredulous', like half thinking this is a 'talk someone down from the ledge' moment, but also like he's never forgotten who and what he's dealing with in Castiel.

Looking back over the seasons of Supernatural, I think it's a long time before Sam loses that sense of Cas as something 'other' and a bit awe-inspiring. He accepts Cas as a friend long before it wears off, but there's this... ginger handling thing Sam does with him, like he never quite knows how to tread. And a humour to it, like he's really enjoying the puzzle.

An angel showing up three sheets to the wind - all that power with the brakes of predictability off - ought to be proper scary. I mean, Cas could sneeze and accidentally level the building or something!

(It was a stupid question, though.)

It was only with hindsight, as I got to know him better during later seasons, that I realised how badly Dean struggled during season five. How subdued he was and how off his game. Moments like this hit me differently now. (Duh, Nym!)

Yeah, well, whatever. When in Rome.
