God help me, I *am* thinking 'verse, because I cannot for the life of me find any long fiction out there about the Five Years That Never Happened, and it's begging, BEGGING to be written.
Except, of course, I have about 15,000 words of my deaf!Dean version of the pilot written and it's not done yet, and I have a couple of other ideas bouncing around in my head, and I already HAVE a full-time job and another writing commitment due in ten days and... GAH.
I don't think Dean isn't upset, for the record. I think Dean is compartmentalizing because right now Cas needs him and he's using this as an excuse so that he doesn't fall apart.
And, yeah, this is how I see what happened. I like Cas (who knew?), but just like Sam and Dean he is a flawed creature, and HIS choices have as much to do with why the Apocalypse got started as Sam and Dean's. They all three were blinded by their faults, by their pride, and we all know what happens after that.
One of the small scenes that broke my heart in the show was when Sam finally met Castiel and was SO excited because FINALLY his prayers were being answered, and all Cas had to say was "demon blood" and treat him as though he was filth. I think that's why I didn't like him for such a long time.
Compassion isn't something you give out because it's deserved. You give it because it's needed.

Uh, anyway, I'm glad you liked it!
