Destiny ~ Dean Winchester (part three)

DeanxOC [AU]

~intense love story, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, trauma~

The Apocalypse was supposed to end that night at Stull Cemetery. Instead, Sam and Angie are gone-trapped in the Cage with Lucifer and Michael, forced to exist alongside archangels who see them as nothing more than playthings. Time bends and twists, memories bleed together, and survival means sacrificing pieces of themselves just to stay sane. Then, by some impossible miracle, they escape.

But freedom isn't what it used to be.

Dean has built a life-one that doesn't have room for the ghosts of his past. And Sam... isn't Sam. He moves, speaks, breathes like a man who has never felt a single emotion in his life. Angie tries to pull him back, to understand what the Cage did to him, but she has her own battles to fight. She is being followed. By shadows that shouldn't exist. She on the other hand was meant to be Lorelei's shadow, a piece in a divine game that's already claimed too much from her. Now, she wants nothing more than to defy destiny, to be something-someone-entirely her own.

But if the entire course of her life has been controlled, if every choice was always meant to lead here, then isn't rejecting destiny just another way of playing right into its hands?
