Masterpost for The Beauty of Love As It Was Made To Be
Love; it will not betray you
Dismay or enslave you, it will set you free
Be more like the man you were made to be
There is a design, an alignment to cry
Of my heart to see,
The beauty of love as it was made to be
-Sigh No More, Mumford & Sons
Title: The Beauty of Love As It Was Made To Be
Summary: This is a sequel to "Like To Stay in Heaven But The Rules Are Too Tough" you don't have to read that first to start this, but it would help a lot. That masterpost is here. This starts two months after the end of my version of season 7. Dean and Castiel now have a nephilim daughter, Faith, compliments of God himself. With Sam's help, they find a way to make it work with raising a baby and living with a family and hunting. As Sam watches their family grow beautifully, he starts to want the same for himself and manages to find it with a past love interest.
For the next eighteen years, the Winchesters learn how great life can be and how strong family can make you. What it can't do is protect you from the demons that eventually come for them, but even death can’t stop them.
Characters: Dean/Cas, Sam/Sarah, Faith, Henry Wichester, Abaddon, Kevin, Chuck, Jesse, Jody Mills, Crowley, other OCs, other characters from the show that will make small appearances.
Ratings range from: PG-NC-17 (all are rated separately)
Word Count: ~128,000 total
Spoilers/Warnings: Multiple Major Character Deaths, violence, torture, language. Everything through S7 and Aspects of S8 (each chapter is warned for spoilers)
Notes: I have taken way too much time to write this, and i am so glad that it's finally done. I fell I must warn you that there is Multiple Major Character Death in this story, mostly at the end. I do try and make a relatively happy ending despite that. I will write a sequel that focuses on Faith, but it will be a long time before i post much of that here. Thanks for everyone that has read this since i started it. I would not have had the devotion for that. Thank you!
