Summary
Grief doesn’t follow any rules. It lingers in the spaces between memories, leaving more questions than answers.
After Ellen’s death, Dean Winchester finds himself drawn back to the Roadhouse—a place tangled in ghosts of the past, the kind of ghosts that don’t fade easily. The weight of shared loss pulls old faces into view, unearthing regrets and reopening wounds that Dean thought had healed over the years.
But grief, as Dean is learning, doesn’t always bring closure—it just brings more of the mess he’s been avoiding. When Castiel Novak, the boy he once loved, reappears after nearly a decade of silence, Dean is faced with everything he’s buried and everything he never fully understood. As secrets unfold and old wounds are laid bare, Dean has to decide whether to confront the past or let it be.
