Author: misachan
Artist: abstradreams ( Link to Art Master Post)
Word Count: 32,960
Characters/Pairings: Dean/Castiel, Bela, Balthazar, Alastair, various others
Warnings: Graphic violence, depictions of torture, general hell unpleasantness.
Spoilers: Breaks off from canon early in S7 and goes AU from there.
Summary: ”Where did you think angels who consort with demons went when they died?" After the Leviathan walk Castiel into the water there's no miracle - he's cast down, strapped to a rack and left to rot. So of course when chance lets Dean find out he wastes no time jumping down after him. What he finds is there's no such thing as a quick and easy rescue from the Pit: your sins live in Hell and both Dean and Castiel have amassed more than their share of angry ghosts. To escape means outrunning both the monsters lurking in the dark and the ones brought in with them.
There's one extra complication: Castiel's made a promise not to escape. And even if he hadn't, he's not sure he wants to be saved.
A/N: This is a sequel to my short fic Exit Wounds and picks up immediately after. Thank you so much to aerilex as always for all her work and to my flist for extra inspiration. Special note: Elemiah is an angel associated with inward journeys and protects those who travel by water. Title taken from 1 John 5:8.
