Warnings: Angst and character death. Also, unresolved J2, Jensen/Danneel, and Jared/Genevieve.
Author's Notes: I'm not even sure why I wrote this or where it came from. I haven't written anything in a while, and then I go and write angel!fic where the main character literally DIAF?? Something might be wrong with me. The only part of this I had thought about for a while, and for no apparent reason, was Jared holding baby!Jensen. Just in general. I'm not sure where that came from, either, but I've always been all for emphasizing Jensen's strengths, since Jared seems to get more attention in that area. And, let's face it, Jensen can take care of himself. But something just made me think about what I wrote into this, how it's easy to forget that strong people like that started out so vulnerable. And I just had this picture in my head of Jared realizing that and sort of being awed by holding baby!Jensen. Of course, I had no idea how to make it work, and didn't think I ever would. And then this random idea came to me about Jared being Jensen's Guardian, and having to go through this journey to get there, where he ends up giving his life for him.
I'm still counting this as slash, even if I didn't get very close to it. ...Maybe so I can count it as one of my
fanfic100 prompts. :X
Also, I jumped the gun and didn't have this beta'd at all, so any mistakes are mine.
