Summary: What if God had never intended the Apocalypse? What if he returned, distraught at the way man had despoiled his creation, angry with his children for bickering amongst themselves instead of doing as he had asked. What if he banished them until one of them could prove that they did indeed love humanity and that they could make humanity love them in return? Do you think he would make it easy?
Several angels have tried and failed and with each failure they are cut off further from their grace. Castiel is the next angel to draw the short straw. Can he succeed where his older brothers have failed?

Timestamps now here: Gabriel and Sam and Lucifer and Michael
Authors Notes: Thanks go to the wonderful vyxenskye, my brilliant beta. I have fiddled with it terribly since she last ran her careful gaze over it, so any mistakes remaining are my errors alone. Thanks to chef_geekier who stepped up when thehighwaywoman was unable to work with me due to forces beyond her control. She has created such an amount of art, that I am overwhelmed. She also gave me the best reaction I've ever had to a story so far. You rock, my dear. Please go leave her lots of love for her efforts.
Thanks to the mods for all their hard work running and organising this. And finally thank you dear readers, for giving my humble effort your time. Criticism is always welcome and comments will be cuddled close and adored.
Extra Author Note below to save making a whole post for it, but it will spoil a major plot device so read the story first, please.
I am no expert in ASL and I have made my best efforts to be correct when describing particular hand movements and gestures. I did not adhere to correct speech patterns when writing Dean as I felt it would appear awkward and so his 'speech' is written as he thinks it more than as he signs it. Any mistakes are solely mine and I will beat myself severely for them.
