Prompt: Supernatural, Dean/Castiel (+any),

Now I know this is strange to hear from the mouth of God
It was something like a scene from mars
In a struggle between loves and lies
The angel kept his face covered for to keep his word
And while I spoke something left from my life
Forget about the past
Be at rest I'll make things right
And while I held you at best you nearly died
Forget about the past
And I'll try to make things right


In his dreams (and who knew dreams existed in whatever came next?), a hundred thousand things are different.

In his dreams, Father returns him to life.

In his dreams, Dean does not turn away.

In his dreams, Father gives him Light to wield as God's Fist.

In his dreams, Dean smiles at him.

In his dreams, cradled in stardust and sky, cradled close to Father's breast, listening to the lullaby of Father's heart, he cradles Dean in his wings and hums the tune of creation, and everything unfurls for them, the beginning and before.

In his dreams, Father tells him, be at peace, child of mine. await your awakening. you shall be returned.

In his dreams, Dean welcomes him back with open arms and the sweetest of kisses, and calls him my own.

In his dreams, after the end and before the beginning, Castiel knows that things will be different, just as soon as he goes home.
