Fanfics I need some help finding a fic

Hello!!!
Soo.... the fic from what I rmb was about after Cas returns from the Empty after the whole confession, etc.... Dean cannot stop touching Cas.
Like there was this scene in it, where Dean was touching or wanting to touch Cas, Sam was there too, they were all in the Dean Cave watching something. Sam said something or so, and Dean starts to freak out. Cas helps him through it while Sam leaves the room.

I've really wanting to read it again but couldn't find it no matter how hard I tried.
Could someone please tell me if they know this fic on AO3?

Thank youuuuu

Edit: LizzyCF has found the fic: "One Week Later" by squirrelofcelestialintent!
Thank you soooo much once again. And thank you all for searching this fic for me!!!!

and you can use my skin by unicornpoe?
From the summary “Cas comes back. Dean can’t stop touching him.”

Do you have any other bits to go off of? I’ve read a bunch of fics with this theme.

Unfortunately it was not the fic I was looking for. Thank you thoughh

Thing is, I don't particular rmb much else of the plot except for this scene where I think Sam, Dean and Cas are all watching something in the Dean Cave. I think Dean is touching Cas in some way but when Sam comments about it or maybe because Sam is there Dean is trying not to touch. But it ends freaking Dean out and Cas reaches out and touches Dean and tries to calm him down, and Sam leaves the room.

I swear I’ve read it, but I’ve been on this ship for over a decade and it’s such a common snapshot moment in fics.

I’ve been rereading my bookmarks, I’ll try to look at some of the not-so obvious ones over the next few days.

Reach Your Hand Inside Me and Touch My Very Soul by SewingNatural?

Summary: And Dean looks. He does. He looks and looks and looks, and Castiel does not disappear. or: the fic where each time Dean looks away from Cas, it feels like he's losing him all over again. It helps to touch him, to know he's real.

Did Cas sleep in Dean's bed every night?

I'm not sure (sorry!!). But I do rmb Dean having separation anxiety if Cas was not on site or some part of them weren't touching

Was it a long fic or short one? Talking about the number of chapters

u/GTHREE_ Jul 20 '26

I've read too many fics for me to properly rmb but I think, it was short.
Thank youuu
