Title: And this Great Blue World of Ours (Epilogue)

Fandom: Supernatural

Beta: currently unbeated

Characters (overall): Dean, Castiel, Sam, plus a number of angels and demons

Rating (overall): NC-17

Warnings (overall): violence, torture, drug use, insanity, rape

Spoilers: Going AU during episode 5.18: Point of No Return. No spoilers for after season five.

Summary: A man wakes up in a ruined wasteland, without memories, without a name, without knowing the strange guy who claims he used to be an angel, or that he once had a little brother. All he knows is that the world is dying, everyone is lying to him and that somehow, somewhere, something went terribly wrong. Because someone said Yes when they should have said No, and someone else paid the price.

Masterpost

Perhaps it has to do with the fact that none of them ever thought they would have a future, and now they do, they are lost in it.

You are not the only one tearing up. I wasn't quite sure whether to be sad or happy. One thing we learn from Supernatural is that Death is not the end and really, Sam couldn't have asked for anything better than to go on his own terms with his brother by his side. I do wish we could see Castiel's death though. I think that is the saddest part. Dean and Sam will always find each other, but Cas is alone. :(
I often wondered as I was reading how you could possibly end this without making everyone hate you, or even end it at all and this is the answer I never imagined. Well done!

Thank you very much! It sucks to have an unsatisfying ending after you stuck with a story this long, so I'm very happy this seems to have worked!
Cas still has a long was to go, but he will die eventually, and the hardest part of his journey is already over. (Maybe I'll give some little snapshots of his post-Winchester life one day.)
