Warnings: non-explicit references to past non-con (OC/Cas), drug use, and some violence.
Author's Note: "The End" universe. Ah, such a cheery, happy place. I wrote this fic before seeing 7x21, so details in this may deviate slightly from that episode.
Summary: Dean swears that the future Zachariah once showed him will never come to pass, but sometimes he looks at Cas and can see how easily it could.
(
This is how the end of everything starts, though Dean won't be aware for at least a year of what is happening. )
