Summary:
After both Sam and a depowered Castiel fall through the ice during a frigid hunt in Northern Minnesota, Dean manages to drag them to a nearby cabin to recover. There, long-buried feelings begin to crack and thaw.
Extract:
“It’s not working fast enough,” said Dean, shaking his head. “You know what that means. Cuddle puddle.”
“Oh god,” said Sam, through chattering teeth. “Dean, please d-d-don’t call it that.”
“What is that?” asked Castiel.
“Old home remedy. Sammy here is still cold, and you’re an inhuman temperature at the best of times, so we’ll get everybody situated with some good old fashioned body heat,” said Dean, stripping the bed. “It won’t shock the body and you’ll warm up gradually. Come over here into the blanket fort and I’ll show you.”
“Dean, we don’t need to do this,” said Sam. “You’re half frozen yourself already, you don’t need to – ”
“Sammy, come on, little brother,” said Dean, opening his arms. “It’s okay. Free pass on this one. What happens in Bemidji stays in Bemidji.”
