Masterpost for Like To Stay in Heaven:
Are you hurting the one you love?
You say you've found Heaven but you can't find God.
Are you hurting the one you love?
Bite your tongue till it tastes like blood.
Are you hurting the one you love?
So many glasses on the tabletop.
Are you hurting the one you love?
You'd like to stay in heaven but the rules are too tough.

Title: Like To Stay in Heaven But The Rules Are Too Tough
Summary:
After Castiel walks into the Sioux Falls water supply, Dean doesn't walk away. He goes back to save his friend, but in doing so Castiel will be changed forever. God has bigger plans for the angel after Dean's rescue. The leviathans are loose and Sam remembers all of his time in Hell.
The boys must fight the new threat against the world while learning to survive the curve balls thrown at them by closer sources. Follow them through a year of pain, destruction, weddings, deaths, betrayals, Hell, and monsters. Like always, they make the choices they find best, but sometimes the choices they make end up hurting the ones they love the most.

Notes: I started this after the first few minutes of "Hello, Cruel World" and took off from there. I left out a couple episodes and inserted some of my own. I never intended this to get half this long, but the sequel was in mind from the first word I typed. I will post that soon, as I get it done. Also, this wasn't beta'd so I know it is probably full of misspells and comma mistakes. I apologize.
