Prompt: any, Angels turn into stars when they die
Mrs. Verner sends Mama and Daddy an email telling them she needs to talk to them because there's an issue with Mary. Deanna hacks into the account so that they can read the email before Daddy opens it, and she says that means Mary's in trouble.
Mary doesn't think so, though. Mrs. Verner told her she had an amazing imagination when they had to write their own legends. Mary filled almost three pages with Grandpa Sammy's story about angels. Grandpa Sammy said that his older brother, Deanna's namesake, had first told him that angels became stars when they died after Castiel (their guardian angel) chose to leave Heaven to save them.
Mama tells Deanna to watch Mary while she and Daddy go to their parent-teacher conference, and Mary asks Deanna for the story where Castiel, Grandpa Sammy, and Uncle Dean saved the whole wide world.
Deanna grumbles but she pours a bowl-full of lucky charms and they curl up in Daddy's chair to eat together. And then Deanna repeats the words that Grandpa Sammy whispered to her before he walked into the sunset, where his brother and their angel waited.
there was once two pairs of brothers, and while one set wanted to battle across the world, the other wanted only to save everyone.
and they did, that's the beauty of it, little one. so listen, listen to me, and I'll tell you about when love saved the world.
