Summary
Prophecy is a strange and terrible thing, but the old religion calls for balance. And that means that in the end, even the old religion has to give back what it took.
"Everything that happens, happens as it should, and if you observe carefully you will find this to be so." (Marcus Aurelius)

Sequel to The Impersonated Self
<><><><><>“The tyrant is a child of Pride
Who drinks from his sickening cup
Recklessness and vanity,
Until from his high crest headlong
He plummets to the dust of hope.”

Summary
He's about to ask who the hell she is, what the hell she thinks she's playing at— but then she squints, like she's trying to look past Dean's eyes to see right into him, and her head cocks birdlike, just so, and it tugs at something under his ribs, blooming into an ache that feels as good as it hurts, because somehow, it's him. It's Cas.
The Empty sends Castiel back different.

Summary
Castiel scoffs. "I'll be fine," he insists, and he tries, he really does, to turn and vanish, but there's this look in Dean's eyes, this combination of fear and hurt, that keeps him from doing so. A few tense moments pass, and Castiel sighs. "I suppose a little while longer won't hurt," he says grudgingly.

Castiel stays with the Winchesters when his stolen Grace begins to fail.

Summary
Canon divergent from 08x23: Sacrifice. Fallen and slowly being eaten up by guilt for having helped Metatron empty out the skies, Castiel seeks refuge at the bunker and tries to find a way to set everything right. He clings to the one connection that he has always trusted to anchor him over the years, until it starts to crumble under the weight of all their combined responsibilities and finally disappears into the dark without a trace.
