Of Angels and Men (NaNoWriMo)

In an Alternate Reality where God never left heaven, and Lucifer walks free among men, and Castiel is merely a messenger, Earth is left devastated.

With the Devil roaming on the surface of the Earth, violence and hate and destruction was the only thing Earth knew. Hope was gone, and the light was so far away no man could ever dream of reaching it. Fed up with the condition His beautiful creation was facing, God mandated a purge. Similar to the Great Deluge, it was meant to purify mankind; to destroy Earth and build it anew.

However, Castiel, horrified from the amount of death that would emerge from this, prayed incessantly to God, begging him to stop it, not expecting an answer. But God answers, and with a deal. If Castiel finds at least one righteous man, untouched by the corruption of Earth, within forty days, God won't destroy them all, only the unfaithful. One catch: under no circumstances was Castiel to contact him at all.

Hopeless, Castiel scoured the entirety of the world, searching for a righteous man, and with no luck. With only seven days left, he gives up. Yet, amongst all the despair, a beacon of light and hope comes in the form of two brothers: the Winchesters. Captivated by the all-suffering love and sacrifice they have, Castiel finds himself drawn to them, especially the strong, belligerent, fiercely-loving Dean.

But in a world where Murphy’s Law is the only law, Castiel will have to do everything and anything he can to keep the Winchesters from being led astray.
