Fanmix: The Beast Was Always Here
Title: The Beast Was Always Here
Pairing: Dean/Castiel
Spoilers: all of S5 to be safe
Tracks: 14
Notes: This mix is meant to arc over the course of Dean and Castiel’s relationship from the moment Dean was pulled out of hell. It assumes a future in which Dean has no choice but to leave Cas and become Michael’s vessel, so prepare for melancholy. There are episode numbers for some tracks as a sort of general guideline of what scenes I was thinking about when choosing them.

believe : the bravery
dean is pulled out of hell and needs something to live for
[4x01]
Something’s always coming you can hear it in the ground
It swells into the air with the rising rising sound
And never comes but shakes the boards and rattles all the doors
What are we waiting for?
trip through your wires : u2
dean is fascinated by cas, the one that put him back together
I was broken, bent out of shape
I was naked in the clothes you made
Lips were dry, throat like rust
You gave me shelter from the heat and the dust
run : snow patrol
cas tries to encourage dean even though they both want to avoid his destiny
[4x02]
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
here to stay : new order
dean thinks angels are dicks, but cas is different
[4x07]
This worthy cause of human kind
This pawn set up by time
Like a bright light on the horizon
Shining so bright, he'll get you flying
blind : placebo
dean wants to keep cas, but the angel bullshit is tearing them apart
If I could tear you from the ceiling
And guarantee a source divine
Rid you off possessions fleeting
Remain your funny valentine.
my body is a cage : arcade fire
castiel feels trapped and considers rebellion
[4x16]
My body is a cage that keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
…
I’m living in an age that calls darkness light
Though my language is dead still the shapes fill my head
one safe place : marc cohn
cas doesn’t quite fall, but avoids the angels to be with dean
Will you make a smoother landing
When you break your fall from grace
Into the arms of understanding
Looking for one safe place
colorblind : counting crows
dean doesn’t let anyone beyond his barriers, but cas finds a way under his skin anyway
I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded, and unfolded, and unfolding
running up that hill : placebo
cas would do anything to stop the angels from trying to take dean
Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder
There's a thunder in our hearts, baby
So much hate for the ones we love
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
après moi : regina spektor
cas’s self preservation and fear kick in and he stands with the angels after a fight
[4x20]
I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice
downfall : matchbox 20
dean wants cas back, no, he needs cas back
[4x22]
Lay it down
I've always been with you, here and now
With all that's within you
Be my savior and I'll be your downfall
teardrop : jose Gonzales
they find a way to be together, if only for a short time
[5x03]
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath
You’re stumbling in the dark
some devil : dave matthews band
cas is falling, dean is getting ready to say yes to michael, neither want to let go
One last kiss one only
Then I'll let you go
Hard for you I've fallen
But you can't break my fall
bedshaped : keane
dean is waiting to be taken to michael, waiting for the end of them
You'll follow me back with the sun in your eyes and on your own
Bedshaped and legs of stone
You'll knock on my door and up we'll go
In white light I don't think so
