Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~2400
Summary: Castiel sends lore home from Bethlehem, and thinks on his duties as an angel in a world under siege by the Darkness--as well as Sam’s, and Dean’s.
Notes: Tag to 11x07 “Plush”; implied spoilers for 11x08 and 11x09. Because I'm surely not the only one who heard Sam say This is everything Cas dug up in Gaza, every last bit of prebiblical lore and wondered how Castiel got there, and how long he plans to stay.
To love the Winchesters means probably, today, to leave them.
