Prompt: Dean/Castiel, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
He refuses to believe Uriel's claims. God has not left them alone—there is some plan in place, a design greater than his mind can fathom.
When he is pulled back to Heaven and punished for allowing himself to be tempted, he knows there is a purpose. God is good and just and righteous, all-knowing and all-seeing, everywhere and everything. To all things a reason.
When Zachariah captures and imprisons Dean, waiting for the moment of Dean's use, Castiel finally realizes Uriel had been right.
There is no God. No wrath, no will. Maybe there was, once. But no more.
Castiel knows this is his moment. He must choose.
There is no God. But there is Dean Winchester, arrogant and strong and beautiful and broken.
There is Dean Winchester, and Castiel chooses.
