Author's Notes: Written for the 2015 spn_j2_bigbang. My heartfelt thanks goes to the wonderful thruterryseyes who has betaed the fic and helped shape it into the story it is now. After some last-minute alterations, any remaining errors are mine. She’s probably very glad it’s time to post it as she’ll kill me if I fiddle with it anymore! Thank you, hon. Seriously, you've been awesome. The wonderful art to accompany the story is by Liliaeth. Check out her masterpost here

Summary: Set over several years, starting in Season 10, directly after 'The Things We Left Behind'. Shaken by the massacre of the loan sharks and with no way to remove the Mark of Cain, Dean agrees to the next best alternative: retirement. Their peaceful new life doesn't last long however. When Abaddon abducts Dean after securing the First Blade, she’s got the perfect new weapon of mass destruction to take Hell from Crowley. Sam battles to rescue Dean who must then endure withdrawal from the Mark’s effects within the bunker’s panic room.

Fearful of the same happening again, Dean gets himself detained in a secure psychiatric hospital where he convinces the doctors that he’s got paranoid schizophrenia. Reluctantly respecting his brother’s wishes, Sam goes back to studying law and leaves Dean where he wants to be. Three years later, while still looking for a way to remove the Mark, Sam stumbles across a prophecy that Lucifer will rise and will only be stopped by the bearer of the Mark, forcing Dean leave his hiding place and take up the Blade one last time...
