[FIC] Holding On and Letting Go for waywardseraph
Gift type: Fanfic
Title: Holding On and Letting Go
Author: Anonymous
Recipient: sorrowbefallen
Rating: R
Warnings:
Spoilers: up to and inc. 9.09
Word Count: ~24,500
Summary: Set after 9.09, so spoilers (highlight to read) Still trying to pick up the pieces of Kevin’s death and the loss of his brother, Dean discovers Cas has been badly hurt in an attack on Malachi and his people. Dean does everything he can to help Cas through the aftermath, but there are tragic complications involved in Cas' recovery that Dean especially struggles to come to terms with.
Author notes: This is a combination of 2 prompts - Cas getting captured and tortured by angels, and Cas getting awkwardly emotional with Dean because he and/or Dean thinks he’s dying. Character death was also an option, and I was all for running with that and playing up the torture when I first read the prompts, because getting Cas bloody is disturbingly fun and I thought it would be an interesting challenge to write a lengthy, emotional deathfic! Only then, gosh darn it, 9.09 happened and the show only had to go and steal my thunder, giving us a canon capture and torture of Cas by angels AND a character death all in one explosive package! I figured Kevin was more than enough character death for the time being :/ and I decided to springboard off the back of that instead. I don’t think it veers too far from the prompts x
