Hi guys. I just finished Sacrafice (Supernatural season 8 episode 23) which means yup I've finished the show. Now that I understand everything I've seen on tumblr I'd like to clarify how this story works regarding the shocking and horrible for the mental state events at the end of season 8.
I don't know how the show will work this out, but from this point on whatever happens in the show DOES NOT HAPPEN IN THIS FAN FIC!
The power Sam acquired from the trials had to be used for something, and that something happens to be the counter spell for the one that made all the angels fall. Heaven has been restored and the damage caused by the trials in Sam is gone. While all the other angels have returned to heaven unanimous in their one goal of killing metatron Cas still hasn't found his grace, which was stolen by metatron and thrown to earth somewhere. Cas is looking for it but so far has had no luck.
Crowley is still a demon... for now. Still "I don't even know where to begin looking for forgiveness." Come on, I have my soul I can't not do something with that (besides sob).
Also, if you're wondering why the archangels are protecting Charlotte but none of the other prophets, it's because due to the fact 4 of the 8 archangels are indisposed they couldn't protect the prophets all at once, and couldn't protect Kevin because his designated protector, Rafael, is dead. Charlotte on the other hand is a top priority and to be protected before all the other prophets combined. When Crowley went after the other prophets all the 4 remaining jumped to protect Charlie. Since they were all scrambling over who should protect THE prophet they forgot about the other prophets.
Hope this has eased your minds and if you have any questions... comment and I'll try my best to fix the plot holes season 8 has created for me.
