Wow, what a gorgeous, deft story.
Of Storms and Sanctuary, by
bree-black.
The author's summary starts off with "After a hunting accident, Dean lies asleep in a hospital bed. Castiel visits Dean’s dreams, intending to investigate why Dean hasn't woken up." And what happens after that is just so moving and right, I can't even tell you.
And it actually goes really well with
this vid, I think. I often like fast-paced, action-heavy vids, but this slow, thoughtful vid was really moving, and made me think back to times when Dean and Sam were less broken, and so much more of a unit. That's always been the heart of the show, and it's been so sad to see that leach away over the seasons. Here's hoping they get it back.
