After 8.17 Goodbye Stranger, Castiel boards a bus and runs as far as he can. But when a woman named Kate sits beside him and starts a conversation, Castiel ends up spilling everything to her, about Dean, and about how Castiel can never forgive himself. Kate teaches him something about kindness. Destiel, but pre-slash and semi-ambiguous ending. Focuses on their bond, not on romance.
