Summary
A piece of rebar to the heart wasn't really the way Dean had planned to go out, but these things happen. It's over now; everything's over, and now he's in Heaven. It's a beautiful Heavenly day, on a beautiful Heavenly road, and there's even a Heavenly cassette tape playing a perfect Heavenly song. The last war is over; they won it all, victorious at last, and now all Dean wants to do is drive.
The song plays, and Dean drives.
At last he's at peace.
Or is he?

Summary
The army of angels that Castiel leads into this fiery pit of anguish and retribution has followed him into battle before. They’ve fought, they’ve died, while Castiel has stood by in silence. While Castiel has convinced himself that their sacrifice is necessary, a symbol of his divine power.
But this mission is different, this mission is Castiel’s and only Castiel’s. This incursion of angels is a distraction.
The resurrection of Dean Winchester belongs to Castiel.
(Takes place pre-04x01, Lazarus Rising)
