summary. It's 2014, the world's gone to hell, Dean's gotten shafted and Castiel was an angel once but now...not so much.
read this. An amazing read! A vivid, gritty, and gut-wrenching look at Castiel making his way through the desolate future world offered to us in 5.04. This fantastic fic is haunting and beautifully written; a definite tearjerker.

read this. Incredible! One of my favorites for this pairing, this story has such an insightful Dean POV. It's also full of emotional depth, wonderful dialogue, powerful characterizations, and off-the-charts Dean/Castiel chemistry. A must read.
