“Sam, you gotta hear about this ghost story I found the other day,” Susanne says over the speakerphone, just as loud as she has been for the last half hour.
For the most part, Castiel ignores her—or tries—and concentrates on the beads dangling from between his fingers, centerpiece pressed to his forehead. Praying doesn’t work, but some mornings, when the coffee doesn’t get him going and the walls feel more like a prison than a home, he sits at the library table and whispers empty words into the crucifix, like Jesus can ease the festering ache in his chest.
He can’t—no one else can either.
I never would have expected to go through so many feelings within such a short fic.
The story takes place in the aftermath of Dean being possessed by Michael and the emotional and physical scars the traumatic event left behind.
We see the world through Cas' eyes while he and Sam have lost hope of finding Dean after he leaves the bunker without saying goodbye.
It makes your heart ache to read what everyone is going through, how hopeless and depressing the world is to Castiel without Dean.
And after they do find him, what we learn about what Dean went through will break your heart even more.
But this fic is also about hope, and it ends on a positive note that will leave you rooting for the boys' happiness and peace in their new retired life.
Do you ever think about how March and Healy (The Nice Guys) are like Crowley and Aziraphale (Good Omens, do I even need to clarify?) but reversed?
Like, March is the tall lanky one with the issues, he’s the mess of a man like Crowley, but he’s got that happy Aziraphale “I am a prtty angel” energy
Healy is emotionally stable, short and stout like a teapot compared to his partner and is the dom of the relationship and takes care of his wet cat like Aziraphale, but has a Crowley view of the world
And both pairs love each other but the stable one is so exasperated and done with their partner
