Broken Things
When one is a Winchester or, by default, associated with a Winchester in any way fathomable, nothing is ever simple.Castiel disobeys Heaven, and he should be dead, but instead he’s condemned to a slow fall: three months of ever fading purity until he is completely and utterly human. Dean, too, is broken, and may never be whole again, Castiel is becoming more shattered with each passing day and Sam is paving the way to his own doom with bricks of good intentions.As the months continue to tick by and the world continues to turn, through the eternal and crushing darkness there is a pinprick of light, a brief solace that comes in the form of whispered words and trembling hands, but when the universe is seemingly against them, finger on the trigger and ready to fire, it’s only a matter of time before that too is broken, and then Dean and Castiel are left fumbling through the dark, nothing to hold to but each other.
