My life has never meant anything. I've never put myself at risk to save anyone else. When two unusual men save my life, I think I might give it a try... And possibly fall in love on the way. Who knows?

The angels have fallen. Most of them are looking to take revenge on Castiel for forcing them from their home. Abbadon's forces are gathering strength and the Winchesters are beginning to realize just how outnumbered they are. When Kevin finds a lead on the Angel Tablet that he is still struggling to translate, Sam and Dean rush to find an ally before Abbadon can attack. But when they meet Hope, a girl with a secret that she doesn't even know about, things don't go exactly as planned. Will she be able to help them? This takes place throughout season 9. Spoilers, obviously. There will be Demon!Dean. Chapters are based on the song 'I Dreamed a Dream' from the musical Les Misérables.

**Set in Season 8** "You a cop?" "You probably wish I was." ________________________ He knew it was a bad idea to let her in, but he did it anyway. She knew it was a bad idea to stick around, yet she stayed. Both of them are a lot of things: damaged, survivors, flawed, warriors, guardians, selfless. But the worst one? Reckless.

This is the story of Cora Jenkins who gave up hunting 4 years ago, only to be thrown back into the deep end by the unexpected arrival of the Winchester brothers.
