Fanmix: Divine Descension
Title: Divine Descension
Rating: PG
Tracks: 21
Run Time: 1.3 hours
A/N: Created for adictd2life, who wanted a fanmix that portrayed Cas Falling, then learning how to be human with Dean's help, over at the Co-Op Swap. I tried to go light on the pop, but I'm afraid an `N Sync song and something from High School Musical made it in. Along with some Fray and Coldplay. The good news is, there's also, rock, country, and other stuff. Yay?
Part I: The Fall
Viva La Gloria - Green Day
The War was long over, humanity thinned by Lucifer’s attack. The angels had been called back, forbidden from treading on Earth. So Castiel watched.
Hey, Gloria, are you standing close to the edge?
Look out to the setting sun
The brink of your vision
Eternal youth is a landscape of a lie
Heaven - Los Lonely Boys
He hadn’t lied to Dean when he’d said Heaven was a place of peace and forgiveness and love. But Heaven had changed since the War, and Castiel had changed during the War. It wasn’t a compatible combination.
I’ve been locked up way too long
In this crazy world
How far is Heaven?
Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwo’ole
He often found himself watching and wishing, longing for park benches and tacky motel rooms.
Some day I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
When There Was Me And You - Vanessa Hudgens
He watched Dean, mostly. Watched the hunter get on with his life, burn through women like he burned through monsters. It made him sad.
It’s funny when you find yourself
Looking from the outside
I’m standing here but all I want
Is to be over there
Ring Of Fire - Adam Lambert
He identified the feeling as love. Longing. He had been willing to disobey for Dean. He still was.
Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell in to a ring of fire
White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane
Heaven was a place of beauty and peace, but it was false. They didn’t want peace. They wanted extermination, and Castiel couldn’t help but feel that he’d been brainwashed. That it wasn’t worth it. That Dean had been right in asking him to stay.
When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you’ve just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow
Go ask Alice
I think she’ll know
Losing My Religion - R.E.M.
Dean had been right. And Castiel was in love.
Consider this
The slip that brought me to my knees
Long Black Train - Josh Turner
His brothers mocked him, cautioned him, warned him. They knew he was doubting. They knew he was feeling. His own family was scared of him.
Well, I can hear the whistle from a mile away
It sounds so good, but I must stay away
That train is a beauty, making everybody stare
But it’s only destination is the middle of nowhere
Renegade - Styx
The day that Zachariah arrived in Castiel’s chambers with a sword was the day that the angel first truly smiled.
The jig is up, the news is out
They finally found me
The renegade, who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Nevermore to go astray, this will be the end today
Of the wanted man
Clocks - Coldplay
Castiel made a show of fighting, but he didn’t mean it. Didn’t want to. He welcomed his Fall.
The lights go out and I can’t be saved
Tides I try to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh, I beg, I beg and plead
Part II: The Feeling
Prelude 12/21 - AFI
Theories stated that the End would come on December 21st, 2012. It was the day Castiel found Dean again.
This is what I thought, I thought you’d need me
This is what I thought, so think me naïve
I’d promised you a heart, you promised to keep
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep
Look After You - The Fray
Dean had tried to move on, for his own good. When a battered, smiling angel showed up on his doorstep, though, he stopped. Cas was all he needed.
It’s always have and never hold
You’ve begun to feel like home
What’s mine is yours to leave or take
What’s mine is yours to make your own
Lean On Me (Live) - Rascal Flatts
He taught the angel things. Things like normal human customs, what tastes good, ways to interact. He was saving sex for last, wanted to take things slow, to make sure the old feelings still lingered in both of their hearts.
Lean on me, when you’re not strong
I’ll be your friend, I’ll help you carry on
Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked - Cage The Elephant
It didn’t take long for Castiel to realize the full brutality of what was left of humanity. Prostitution, robbery, murder. He hadn’t paid enough attention before, and now he was one of those base, vile creatures.
Oh, there ain’t no rest for the wicked
Money don’t grow on trees
I’ve got bills to pay, I’ve got mouths to feed
There ain’t nothing in this world for free
Untitled - Simple Plan
He watched the news every night, ignoring Dean’s pleas to turn it off. He wanted to know, deserved to know. What he was. What he might become. He wanted to scream.
I try to make a sound, but no one hears me
I’m slipping off the edge
I’m hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again
Fall - Clay Walker
When Castiel finally crumbled under the weight of reality, Dean was there to catch him. He would always be there to catch him.
Go on, fall apart
Fall into these arms of mine
I’ll catch you every time you
Fall, go on a lose it all
Every doubt, every fear, every worry, every tear
I’m right here
Baby, fall
Somewhere, Someday - ‘N Sync
The hunter made promises. A house somewhere that the demons hadn’t hit. A yard. A dog. Kindness.
Let me give you heart
Let me give you hope
Be the one constant love
That you’ve never known
Live Like You Were Dying - Tim McGraw
Dean made a list. Things to do with his angel. The Grand Canyon. Fishing. Just having fun.
Like tomorrow was a gift
And you got eternity to think about
What you’d do with it
What would you do with it?
I’m A Human - Flashlight Brown
It took five months for Castiel to admit that he was truly and irrevocably human. The moment that prompted the revelation had been Dean’s confession of love.
I’m a human, just like you
Full of doubt, without a clue
Trying to find a way to make it better
Sweet Child Of Mine - Taken By Trees
Things moved quickly after that. Dean got lost in his angel’s eyes, and Castiel got lost in Dean. It was peace, forgiveness, love. It was Heaven.
She’s got eyes of the bluest sky
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
In Color - Jamey Johnson
The photographs had faded over the years, but Dean still loved them. He plastered the walls of his room with them, and told anyone in the Home who would listen about the angel he’d loved. The angel that, he was sure, was watching, waiting for him.
And if it looks like we were scared to death
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
You should have seen it in color
