AUTHOR NOTE: Just an idea of some of the prayers Dean might have sent Castiel's way in Purgatory. Not all of them, mind you, because I don't have the time nor the patience to type out a year's worth of prayers.


Day 1.

"Cas, I dunno where the hell you are, man, but you better not have gotten yourself killed."


Day 2.

"Cas. It's been a day. Where are you?"


Day 5.

"I'm starting to get more than a little concerned here, Cas. Find your way back soon."


Day 7.

"It's been a week, damn it. Where are you?"

"I'm gonna find you, Cas."


Day 9.

"You better not be dead, you stupid son of a bitch."

"If you're dead, I'll kill you."


Day 16.

"Cas, I need you. I can't stand much more of this place alone..."


Day 23.

"I'm gonna keep fightin' til I find you, buddy. I'm not giving up. Hold on."


Day 47.

"Hey, Cas, if you're listening... I think I'm getting closer. I'm coming for you, buddy. I'll find you."


Day 56.

"I'm starting to lose track of time, Cas. I don't know how long it's been without you, but... I should have found you by now. Or maybe... you should have found me. Are you even looking?"


Day 88.

"Cas, I met this vampire named Benny today. We're gonna work together to find you and get the hell outta here. I can't trust this guy. Damn it, Cas, you're the only one I can trust in this God-forsaken place. Where are you?"


Day 129.

"Hey, Cas, remember when I took you to that, uh, 'den of iniquity', as you called it? Those were some good times."


Day 130.

"God damn it, I miss you, Cas."


Day 153.

"Castiel. If you think there is any reason I'd be upset with you, or wouldn't want you with me... don't. Please. Don't stay away from me on purpose. I need you here. I'm not angry with you."


Day 154.

"Yeah, scratch what I said last night. I ammad at you, damn it. Why aren't you here? Why did you leave in the first place? Hey, if you don't want me around then maybe I'll just stop looking."

"I didn't mean what I said earlier, Cas. I'm sorry. I just... I'm gonna find you. Don't worry."


Day 163.

"Alright, listen, you stupid son of a bitch. I can't even remember how many days it's been, but... I'm sorry. This is my fault. I shouldn't have let you help, you weren't ready... I dunno. Whatever."


Day 195.

"I just got this mental image of you showing up on my car wearing nothing but bees. I think you scarred me for life, dude."


Day 207.

"Remember when we first met? And you said something about how good things happen? Well, nothing good's been happening down here. At all."

"Remember when we first met, and you said I didn't think I deserved to be saved? God damn it, Cas, if there's some sort of guilt crap keeping you from me, I'm going to beat the shit out of you when I find you. And I will find you."


Day 209.

"Apparently Benny's been listening to some of these prayers. I, uh... I think he thinks we're gay."

"I'm starting to think I think we're gay."


Day 210.

"Sorry about last night... that was weird. We're not talking about this after I find you."


Day 237.

"Y'know what? I'm starting to doubt you're even alive. Maybe you vanished from Purgatory 'cause you're not supposed to be here. But... I'm not s'posed to be here, either. Whatever. I'm still looking for you."


Day 254.

"Cas, if you're still listening, you've gotta help me out here. Please. Pop over here or something."


Day 255.

"Well, you're damn lucky I've got Benny here. He saved my ass last night, no thanks to you."

"Sorry. I'm sorry."


Day 279.

"I know where you are. I'll be there soon, Cas. Don't be dead."


"I prayed to you, Cas, every night."


After.

"Cas. Why didn't you try harder? I made it out okay. I don't know if you can hear me out here. You keep fighting, Cas. Fight your way back to me."

"Y'know, I'm starting to think that if I'd said this earlier, maybe you'd be here right now. I love you, Cas."


I know. I'm sorry. I love the angst. xP

I wish we knew exactly when Dean met Benny and when they found Cas so the days could be more accurate, but, eh... whatever.
