AU starts at the end of season 6. What if to distract Dean from stopping him Castiel did more than just remove Sam's wall. He decided to bring back John Winchester from the dead. How will this new development affect the Winchester family dynamics?
Castiel stood contemplating the now stressed relationship he had with the Winchesters. He never wanted this to happen. All he ever wanted was to stop Raphael and restore order back in heaven. Just for once, he wanted to do the right thing which came through without any hefty price. He knew the other angels could never understand free will, he himself had his doubts. So much could go wrong, you never really know if you are doing the right thing or not. The brothers seemed to disagree with him completely but he had come too far to go back now. Opening the doors of purgatory and consuming the power of all those souls was the only way to stop this mess once and for all, he was sure of it. No other way around it.
Now if only he could make Sam and Dean realize that. Removing Sam's wall knowing that he can never gain back the trust of the Winchesters was a big price he was willing to pay just this once. After all, sacrifices have to be made for the greater good. Knowing that the brothers would do everything in their power to stop him from going through with his plan, and from personal experience he knew never to underestimate them. And so he did what he had to do to get them to back off. Dean and Bobby were supposed to stay with Sam and keep trying to find a way to help him, however futile it may be. But as that plan began to crumble with Bobby and Dean researching to stop him he began thinking for other alternatives.
Suddenly it dawned on him, John Winchester's death was a sore topic for the brothers even after so long. In a desperate attempt, he called Balthazar to resurrect John Winchester. This ought to stir a storm in the hunter's lives. They will follow that trail and begin searching for the thing that brought John Winchester back among the living. All he needed was that time to complete his mission and then he will restore Sam's wall back and hopefully when the brothers find out that it was him that brought their Dad back, hopefully they will be much more willing to forgive him in the long run. He promised himself that he will make up to them, come hell or high water but just as soon as he finished defeating Raphael.
John Winchester woke up to find himself in the middle of a junkyard surrounded by rusted tin reaching as far as he could see. It didn't take too long for him to figure out where he was. But that stirred a set of more questions- Why was he here? Why couldn't he remember what happened? And where were his sons? Knowing that he will not get any answers standing here in the middle of the cars getting baked by the scorching sun he made his way towards Bobby Singer's house.
Hey guys! This is my first attempt at writing a fictional story so please let me know how it looks. The good, the bad, the in between… lay it all on me. And thanks for reading.
So, this was something I had in mind for a long time, John Winchester coming back from the dead and finding out how his kids are doing and what they have been through in his absence. This will be a good daddy John fic as I believe John Winchester loved his sons a lot but just had a hard time showing it.
I already have a basic layout as to how I want this story to proceed so make sure to review.
