To The Moon and Back
To The Moon and Back
Castiel Novak suffers from the aftermath of a loss that traumatically changed his life when he comes in contact with Dean Winchester - an old acquaintance. That moment begins their story; a story built by tragedy, old coffee shops and empty playgrounds, held together by I Love You’s and each other’s warmth during cold nights, and eventually, torn apart by a notebook and a crushed dream for a long lost sister. It’s the story where pushing each other away is harder than facing what it’s really about, where two broken people always find their way back to each other - where two boys belong to each other, no matter much they feel like they don't.

It was only enough to stop Thor's hammer from crashing down, for still it stayed raised into the air, the lightning still crackling over its uru head. Eyes the color of the clearest ice had bored into Loki, giving him a chill he'd never known before and could not entirely banish no matter how he steeled himself. "You offer your own death in place of your king then? And why should I exchange one small prince for a just punishment to a king who brought this cost to his own people?"
