A/N: I got bored. So I listened to my music and started to relate songs to characters and this popped in. I couldn't decide to make it for Vampire Diaries or Supernatural so I settled on both. :P I have most of the songs and pairings picked out, but I'm open for requests. They can be from the canon( Ex. Elena/Damon or Sam/Dean) or they can be non canon ( Ex. Dean/Elena or Damon/Ruby) So, tell me how did! This is angst-y and dark. Suicidal!Elena and some Supportive and caring!Castiel.

Against The Grain- City and Color.

Castiel/Elena

You need not, to climb mountaintops.
You need not, to cross the sea.
You need not, to find a cure,
for everything that makes you weak.

Elena was a top performer. A good student. The good sister and daughter. She didn't need to work for her looks and work on her kindness, it was just natural. She didn't need to change herself- to prove anybody anything.

You need not to reach for the stars,
when life becomes so dark.
And when the wind,
does blow against the grain.
You must follow your heart.
You must follow your heart.

Elena and Stefan had a falling out. She didn't want him to leave her, not to leave her in the dark. Stefan just shook his head and told her that it was for the best. She didn't want anything to do with him for the longest time. That included brushing off and ignoring anything that reminded her of Stefan.

When all your friends,
have come and gone.
The sun no longer shines.
The happiness for which you long
is washed away, like an oceans tide.
When all the hard times, outweigh the good.
And all your words are misunderstood.

Elena slowly cut off her ties with her family and friends. Bonnie tried to reason with her and Elena brushed her off. Eventually she stopped trying. Caroline was fast to move on after Elena had stopped answering her texts and after Bonnie stopped trying. Damon had gone away with Stefan. Elena felt alone, like nobody understood her.

When the day seems lost from the stars.
you must follow your heart.
you must follow your heart.

Elena walked over to an empty park in the middle of the night. She clutched a pill bottle in her left hand, her right wrapped tightly around her torso, like she was worried that if she let go her insides would fall out. She looked around the empty playground, the swings stood still. The echo's of laughter and play haunted her mind. The ghosts of an easier time, before vampires and all the crisis.

If you feel, you paid the price,
and your wounds should cease to heal.
And everything you love in life,
spins like a winding wheel.
If you should wake, to find you're abandoned.
And the road you travel, leads to a dead end.

Elena looked at the pill bottle. She felt that all her paths hit dead ends. There was nowhere to go and that the only thing she could do was stand still. Her future was him. So, she thought she might as well make her death be caused by him too. She opened the pill bottle, shaking out the little tablets into the palm of her hand. She closed her hand around them, still debating if she wanted to do this. She took a glance around the dark, abandoned park. She stopped when she saw a man sitting on a bench, he was leaning forwards, his hand tucked under his chin and his elbow resting atop his knee. He was looking out into the empty park. Elena took a few steps towards him, stopping when she saw him turn his head to look at her.

When death creeps in, to play it's part.
You must you follow your heart.
You must follow your heart.

" You don't have to do this, you know." He said. Even in the dark, Elena could see his stare was hard. She shifted uncomfortably.

" I don't know what you are talking about."

He stood, walking towards her. " Stopping your heart and ending your existence here tonight is not the right choice, Elena. Things will get better in time. Follow your heart."

Elena blinked, looking down at her closed hand and back up at him. Here, some random stranger, cares enough about her that he wouldn't want her to die. Elena smiled, her eyes starting to tear up. She nodded.

" T-thank you."

The stranger nodded, walking past her, Elena watched him go. Her brow furrowed.

" Wait." The stranger stopped and looked at her as Elena continued, " I didn't get your name."

He turned his head slightly, looking at her out of the corner of his eye, muttering one word before walking into the night.

" Castiel."
