33 parts Complete MatureWhen the angels fell, Castiel lost more than his wings, he lost his purpose, his power, and the only home he'd ever known. Now stranded in a fragile human body, all he has left is a single, aching thought: find Sam Winchester.
But Sam doesn't want to be found. Alone in the bunker after Dean leaves to build a life with Lisa, Sam is drowning in silence, guilt, and memories that cut too deep, especially the ones with Castiel's name written on them.
Their reunion is not the salvation either imagined. Instead, it's raw, fractured, and full of old wounds that refuse to close. And when a ghost from Sam's past resurfaces, he doesn't return to heal, he comes to tear open scars both men thought they'd buried.
In the aftermath of heaven's collapse, Sam and Castiel must decide whether broken people can still build something worth saving... or whether some loves are destined to burn with the ashes of grace.
