Love, the finicky bastard. And I know, I do not have the right. 8x17 forward spoilers. Again, I'm sorry. rated T for feels.

Spoilers for season 8 Meg episode. This does not take place afterward, it's before and during. We forget sometimes, don't we, that Meg is posessing someone. There is a girl in there, probably scared and trying to fight her way out. Or maybe she isnt. Maybe, just maybe, she is the reason Meg survived for so long. And maybe this girl was there, all the way to the end.

Internally, Meg, torturer of Hell and the King's favorite whore, was cursing herself for letting this damaged celestial being worm its way into her heart. Externally, nurse Meg, helper of supernatural beings in need, smiled warmly.She chalked up this whole fiasco as worthy of freezing the Gates of Hell, of completely shredding the fabric of time, even. Slight Megstiel fluff.

"She used to call me Clarence," he says, and his voice is a cracked whisper. A drunk Castiel finally understands the reference. From happy to heartbreaking in 0.4 seconds - super-angst Megstiel, with Dean and Sam thrown in for good measure.

Super angst Megstiel, with Bro!Destiel and mentions of Sam. 'And Dean pretends to ignore the slump in his best friends shoulders and his faraway gaze as he stares out into the dark rushing past them.' Slight spoilers for 8x17.
