Dean/Castiel - a manifesto

PSA: The portmanteau term 'Destiel' makes Dean cry, and Castiel's wings moult. It is an abomination in the sight of The Lord me. Please, please, please eschew it. Thank you.
In the hate meme there seemed to be a fair bit of “Dean/Castiel! Ew!” going on. Which – yeah, okay, whatever, that happens.
