Summary:
“Dean Winchester bears the Mark of Cain, Castiel. And however Righteous his motives, that Mark will eat away at his soul until there is nothing left of the man you raised from perdition. It is an act of mercy to kill him now and you are the only one who can do it,” God ordered.
“No!” Castiel backed away from God. “No! I will not do that.”
... Once Castiel saved Dean from Perdition, now, he must try to do so again. Claiming Dean's soul from Death's reapers, Castiel finds himself in Limbo. It looks a lot like The Orchard where Dean first met Cain...

sharys_aogailI love your work and Think it pairs beautifully with the story.
This is not a pleasant read. It does have a positive ending but to get there you have to (wade) through a quagmire of Hell and the disturbing illusions of Limbo.
I was not in a good Place when I wrote this, angry both with the direction of the show and real Life. It was supposed to be a gentle exploration of Dean and Castiel with fluffy, vanilla sex.
Obviously, it didn't evolve that way. This is by far the darkest and most pornographic story I've written. Despite this, I am pleased with the result.
Please, heed the warnings of graphic violence and gore, rape and non-con, they are not polite suggestions.
