dc_dystopia (fic) masterpost
Author: tasogareika
Artist: cedarcliffe
Fandom/Genre: How do I categorize this UH. SPN AU/AR; future!fic. Drama, angst, heartbreak.
Pairing: Pre/unrequited Dean/Cas (…yeah)
Rating: G for art, PG-13 for fic
Words: 17, 010
Warnings: Spoilers up to 6.22 and then diverges from there with a distinct lack of Leviathans. Assume in this story it’s really Cas going crazy with the soul juice rather than creepy black blooded monsters from Purgatory. Warnings for a bit of gore and violence, but nothing too gruesome. Also, character death... and um, possible massive heartbreak? I got nothing.
Summary: As Castiel goes around the world wrecking havoc under his new title of 'God', the Winchesters find themselves forced to contain him before things get too out of hand. It is from there where the beginning of the end starts, as they find a certain ritual that will bind anything to their control and use it on Castiel. The result: Dean holding the leash that controls the most dangerous being on Earth, and he'll soon learn that keeping a God in your control isn't anything that its cracked up to be, especially when the world finally discovers about the existence of the supernatural. A post Season 6 AU/future fic featuring angst, drama and a tiny bit of action.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: This is definitely one fic I did not expect myself to actually write out; what started as a random idea grew into a story that I had not thought it would be possible to get out, but here it is, and I sincerely hope that you guys will like this. Major thanks goes to my awesome internet twin Michele (black_catxiii/
infinitechallenge) who had to beta this solo since I had nobody else to turn to for help and I was too short on time, ahaha. All the thanks and hugs for you, twin, because you deserve it for being so awesome. ♥ Another person I would like to thank is the amazing and wonderful and very talented cedarcliffe, because his art is nothing short of awesome and you all should totally check it out. :D
Of course, props goes to the mods of the dc_dystopia challenge for organizing this in the first place and giving me the incentive to write this! They've put a lot of major effort to make this work despite their own RL schedules, so to see things coming to fruition is an awesome achievement for them both, and I'd like to take a moment here to congratulate them both. Great work here, guys. This wouldn't even be possible without you all.
Lastly, I would like to thank you, the reader, for reading my babble as well as my story! I hope you'll enjoy this, and I would love any comments on what you've thought about this fic. Dark!fic is really not up my alley, so to venture into this genre is a new experience for me. Anything would be greatly appreciated. :3
