The Consequences of Prophesy Notes
This story has changed a lot in the writing of it. It was originally supposed to be a little 5,000 word character study of how Sam and Dean would be different if they knew and agreed with Azazel. As you can see, that didn’t happen. It grew, and grew, and grew, into the story that you see before you. Some 9 times larger then the original plan.
Anyway, a bit about the story.
I had Castiel take Nick as his vessel, because of a rumor I heard that Mark Pellegrino was the second choice, after Misha Collins, to play Castiel. And then he was cast as Lucifer. I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of that, believe me. Almost from the beginning (as soon as I realized this would be my Big Bang story), I knew I wanted both Castiel and Jimmy in the story. I figured that Jimmy taking Dean’s place as the Righteous Man would do it, since Dean has rather spectacularly disqualified himself. I originally thought that Claire would be Castiel’s vessel, but that would have been too cruel, even for me. So, Nick it was.
The plan was always (well, once this grew to a story with an actual plot) to end with Lucifer getting out, but I originally planned on Sam not saying yes right away.
Anyway, this story would not be nearly as good without the beta reading efforts and suggestions of writing_racoon, pathsforme, and 1orelei. I owe all of them a lot of thanks. So, thank you!
Also, many thanks to quantrail for stepping in and doing a wonderful job as a pinch-hit artist. You’re wonderful, m’dear, and thank you! Go check out her art page, she has so many wonderful bits of art, including character cards. I don't know how she did it all in just a week and a half!
