A/N: Song fic based off the Goo Goo Dolls song Iris. If you don't understand that reference, go look it up because it's amazing.
Written as a one-shot, but I'm posting it in short chapters because that's more organized... or something... Anyway, I've been trying to write a Destiel fic of a descent length for a while and I finally came out with one that I can bring myself to publish so I hope you like it.
Castiel had never dreamed it would end like this.
Or begin, depending on how you looked at it.
"How do you do it, Anna?" he asked.
"Do what?"
"Let go – completely."
"You mean, how do you fall," she said.
"Yes."
"Just that, you let go. You just let yourself go."
"And what? I'll be a child? I can't."
"You don't have to be a child. I'd say Jimmy's pretty much gone by now. All you have to do is let Heaven go and embrace mortality."
"That's it?"
"That's it. And your grace will probably end up somewhere on Earth." She shrugged.
"Thank you."
"If you don't mind my asking, why are you doing this?"
"It's the only way."
"The way to do what? I don't see how losing your powers will help solve anything."
"I'm losing them already. I've been getting weaker for months. It'll be over soon anyway; I can feel it. And this way I lose the rules."
"Of Heaven?"
"Yes."
"I must say you got me curious, Castiel, but I suppose it's not really my business."
"No."
"Well, I hope mortality suits you."
He nodded and she vanished with a flutter of wings.
Castiel took a deep breath and fell.
