Supernatural Imagine: Winchester!Reader having to choose a Horseman of the Apocalypse to marry (and choosing Death)

Content/Warnings: Female Reader, Mentions of Famine, Pestilence and War but mainly featuring Death, Listen Idk either why I like him ALSO SPOILERS

You were their only sister, the only Winchester who didn’t seem to have a crazy destiny coming upon them. That was until the Apocalypse came to be and your purpose was revealed to be of similar depth in the ineffable ways of gods fucked up plan.

It was Crowley who revealed your role in this play, the part you were meant to fulfill as the end of the world came to be.

You were destined to be married to one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

You were the only hope that heaven tied towards the misery they would cast upon the world, the only thing that would stop one of them from carrying out Lucifers plan to wreck havoc on earth. Your fate was sold out to them before you even came to be, and now all characters of this divine contract were on the field.

You couldn’t believe what you were hearing, tears welled up in your eyes as you let Crowleys words sink in. Your brothers were destined to fight each other to death on the fate of this world and you.. you were sold off to the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Ever since you knew what their true purposes in this battle were you had hoped for a chance to emerge, something you could do to save your brothers.

You would have never thought that this would be it.

Sam and Dean were furious when they heard that, Bobby stared off in shock and Castiel frowned quietly. Sam paced the room, repeating how they would never let that happen while Dean went off on Crowley about how this was utter bullshit.

„Guys.. You know how we‘re looking for a way for you to not agree to Michael and Lucifer? This might be it.“

They turned to stare at you in shock. „Absolutely not!“

„It’s not a guarantee but.. if we can get one of them on our side we have a mighty weapon against Lucifer. We could ruin his plans. And the rest.. maybe you could kill the rest of them.“

„We‘ll find another way! All of us!“

„Don’t give into this crap because of us Y/n“

They were strictly against it and they thought it was decided upon, you however remained determined to save them. You would look on, you would see how it played out and if there wasn’t any other chance.. you would not wait for a solution that would never arrive.

If it meant that you could halt the Apocalypse and save lives, even if it didn’t stop the plan all and for once.. it would be worth it.

„But we can use this to our advantage.“ Crowley spoke up again, „She can be our bait.“ Dean glared at him but he shrugged, „Do you think you can just walk in and kill a Horseman like any other creature?“

That made the room fall into silence. Soon it was reluctantly decided- you would help them out as bait.

At the end of all attempts you asked Crowley to bring you to the last Horseman, the only one you haven’t met yet. Death. The only one who claimed his victims directly, without any pain involved. One you presumed to be the most powerful of them as well. Your brothers didn’t know you were meeting him. Crowley however was on your side with your plan, probably just because it was more likely to save his own skin that way.

He led you to a Pizza Restaurant in Chicago, a few hours before a hurricane would destroy it like other cities before.

You carefully opened the wooden door and looked around. Your heartbeat picked up when you saw the dead who previously dined here. The only other person was sitting at a table, quietly eating something.

Your breath hitched as you approached the figure, and halted entire when he stood up with a rapid creak of his chair.

„Please,“ he said and carefully walked around the table to hold out the opposite chair, „Take a seat.“

You locked eyes with him, with Death himself. He was well dressed, slender, with dark hair and even darker eyes. You forced yourself to take a breath again and cautiously took his offer, sitting down as he pushed the chair towards the table.

„You know who I am.“ You stated and your eyes darted over the Pizza, the plate and eventually fixated on the Ring on his finger.

„Of course I do. You are my fiancée. I would recognize you no matter how you would have grown up to look.“ He gestured to the food with his fork, „Take something. The Pizza here is delicious.“ You swallowed and put a piece on your plate.

„I don’t suppose my brothers told you, but it was decided that you would be the one to choose.“

„Choose..?“ You were a bit overwhelmed at the moment, speaking softly out of fear.

„War wanted us to compete for you, but eventually we decided that it would be nonsense to destroy each other when we are supposed to destroy the world.“

You took a bite of the Pizza, he paused for a moment, observing you quietly.

„So it was decided that you would choose which one of us you would be marrying.“

You lifted your gaze to meet his. „Why would you even want a wife?“

His eyebrows quirked up for a moment. „Even God desires Companionship, and I am as old if not even older than him.“ He couldn’t quite fathom why divine beings like themselves would desire such thing either, maybe it was ingrained in the destiny this world would take.

„You.. are the only thing in creation who is immune to my touch.” He spread his arms for a moment, gesturing to the people who laid dead in the Restaurant. “You must have noticed already Y/n- you are immune against the deception of war, the insatiable hunger of famine and the sickly waves of illness from my brother pestilence. That is because you are promised to be ours.“

Your eyes widened as you first felt the gravity of the things that played into your very existence alongside your brothers. Your ancestors, each and every one of them was led to become John and Mary, the two people who would become parents to gods new pawns. Your sacrifice was meant to be, all of you were going to be the resolution to the millions of years put into your eventual creation.

“That is also why I would recognize you anywhere, your existence is intertwined with ours.”

Your gaze fell, your heart sank. That was how your brothers must feel. Like a helpless figure amongst a game of bigger forces. You felt your throat tighten as your eyes became glassy with tears threatening to spill.

“So.. I have no choice. If I want to save my brothers, I have no choice, my free will meets it’s boundaries here.”

He looked at you quietly, observed how your face flushed as grief took over your youthful features. You were so full of life, it seemed to overflow your physical form to spill and spread into your environment. You were the complete opposite of his very being, and Death regarded humanity to be quite insignificant, and yet.. he felt strangely troubled when he saw you cry.

His hands ended life, and they ended suffering simultaneously. He never cared about the grief of the dying before and yet you invoked this part of him that wanted to put your agonized heart to rest, to soothe the mortal pain you were feeling.

He wanted to reach out and cup your face, to do something for you, but he decided against it. He was part of the reason why you felt trapped, why you felt sad so he let you be.

“We are divine forces of destruction, it is our nature to follow what we were meant to do. If you choose one of us the others will continue to fuel the apocalypse either way.. you may gain a powerful ally if you decide to marry one of us, but it is impossible to say if it will actually overturn Lucifers plan. You do have a choice, and you may even have a chance.”

You lifted your gaze to look at him again. You didn’t understand.. was he trying to comfort you? Was he saying that it was ok if you chose against it?

“But if you were to choose me.. I will put an end to Lucifers doing. He has me bound to him which is why I am forced to oblige his will for now, But as soon as I am freed from his little spell I can help you take him down. My brothers will want to continue their rampage, I however do not see the sense in wiping out humanity.”

You frowned and wiped your face with the palm of your hand. Sniffing quietly you fell silent and blinked a few times. He set down his fork and folded his hands.

After a while you spoke again

“Pestilence, War and Famine.. they all contribute to Death, they all feed into what you are. But.. when all is gone and all of existence is extinct, including your brothers and god.. what else is there for you?”

He eyed you for a moment and said, “You by my side, hopefully.”

Your breath hitched. Why.. what..

Death raised his hand and took the ring from his finger, holding out to you.

“I can only offer you my devotion and my ally ship, no matter what it may be.”

You felt your heart give into the words and the comfort he gifted you, and you only. Death did not care about who he reaps, he doesn’t discriminate and doesn’t show mercy with whom he is entrusted with next. Only you.. Only you.

You reached out to him and offered your hand. He met your hand with his and gently held it up to press a light kiss on your knuckles. He turned the ring in his fingers, looking at you for approval.

You nodded, giving him permission with soft spoken words, “Then I will be yours.”

Death slid the ring on your Ringfinger and rose from his chair, you following his actions as he led you around the table towards him.

“We will go back to your family now. Your brother Dean can help me break Lucifers spell. We have a lot of work ahead of us, my dove.”

When you stepped out of the Restaurant again the storm had subsided greatly. He let go of your hand and put his on the small of your back to lead you to his car.

He opened the car door for you, but before you entered you turned around to him again.

“Will everything turn out ok?” His eyes softened, “I will do everything in my might. But even if it doesn’t, no harm shall befall you Y/n.”
