Heloo! Well, here it is, last chapter, it was not as difficult to writte as the previous, but I had to think a lot about the ending, I think you may like it, well I should probably just let you read it, enjoy!

The first time Dean felt panic he was four, his mother burning on the ceiling while his dad yelled at him and handed him his baby brother. Dean did what he was told, he ran outside holding Sammy tightly. Only when he stopped and his dad tried to calm Sam his body began to tremble, in fear and confusion, because he didn't understand what had happened. He just saw his dad looking at their house with glassy eyes; he wanted to ask him so many questions, but he could only stand there, looking at the fireman work in pure shock, he didn't cry, he didn't talk, he didn't even move. He didn't talk in two whole days, on the third day he woke up to a nightmare screaming, that morning he cried on his dad's shoulder, after that, he didn't cry again on his father's presence.

Dean had only panicked three times on his entire life, that was the first one, the second one was not as traumatic; he was sixteen, he doesn't remember exactly where they were, the only thing he remember was that dad had gone on a hunt and he was stuck babysitting Sammy, like always, but when his little brother was sleep he decided to go out and maybe get a bit drunk. So he walked to the nearest bar and asked for a beer, he really loved beer. It was already past midnight and he knew that he couldn't stay too long, he knew he had to go back to make sure his little brother was fine, so he asked for the last bottle of beer and took a long sip of it. Then suddenly someone said hello, Dean turned around to find another boy, he should be almost seventeen, he was taller than Dean, black hair and blue eyes. Dean was surprised, no guy had ever began a conversation with him, he wasn't exactly the type of guy who had lots of friends. Sure he had had girlfriends, one night stands and all of that, but no friends. Dean found himself trapped in the boys eyes for a second, before asking if they had ever met before, the boy shook his head and smiled at Dean. They talked for a while, the boy's name was Daniel, he had lived in London all his life and he was on vacation with his parents. Dean didn't tell him much about himself, he never told anything about himself to strangers. Time seemed to fly as Dean told the boy that he had to leave, and that's when it happened, suddenly a pair of hands were grabbing his face and a pair of lips landed on his. Dean froze, he did not move, he hold his breath; this could not actually be happening to him. He never kissed back, he never said goodbye, he didn't told anyone about it. But the eldest Winchester did not panic because he didn't like it, in fact, he panic because a small part of him, deep inside regretted not having kissed him back.

The third time he panicked was when Sam jumped to the pit, as he saw his little brother disappear into the ground, Dean's senses numbed and he paralyzed. He wanted to yell and cry, but as always when he had panic attacks, he stood there, ignoring Bobby, staring at the place where Sam had been seconds ago. And then he felt a hand on his shoulder, and he managed to look behind him, and he saw Cas, his friend, standing there and looking at him with sadness. All Dean wanted to do was to hold onto Cas and feel the angel hugging him back to comfort him, but he just stood up. He got into the car with Cas after saying goodbye to Bobby, and then Cas told him that he was leaving and he wanted to beg the angel to stay with him but he didn't, in fact, he just said goodbye and waited to reach Lisa's house, where he broke down, and he felt a little better, but he would always still pray on his mind for Cas to go back with him, the angel never came.

And now there he was, standing in the middle of somewhere, a place he didn't know and with Cas. Then he suddenly looked at Cas, who was staring horrified at the forest, something inside Dean's brain clicked, Cas knew where they were.

"What the fuck is this? The hell are we?" Dean said, looking at the angel.

Cas turned his head at Dean, who looked really confused.

"We are in purgatory, Dean" Cas said.

Dean didn't move, he tried to process what Cas had just said. Purgatory? How the hell did they ended in purgatory? Dean tried to make any sense of that, but he couldn't.

"So this means we get stuck in the place where leviathans go, fucking great" Dean said raising his voice a little.

"Not just the leviathans; it is the place where all monsters go" Cas said stoically.

"You mean, that every fucking monster I have ever killed is here?" Dean asked, Cas didn't say anything, instead he nodded.

That was the fourth time Dean had a panic attack, his head began to spin, his hands shook a little but not enough to be really noticeable, and even though he tried, he could not move.

"I am sorry Dean" Cas said.

And he really was.

Cas had always been able to keep his emotions at bay, even when he was a fledging he had never shown emotions, that was good, for an angel. But then he saved Dean, and he met Sam and Bobby; he slowly realize that they were making him change, and that scared the crap out of him, because he had never found himself putting some humans before his family; he had never thought of leading a war to save humanity. And what for? To have Dean yelling at him and remarking how stupid he was? He didn't want that, he wanted not to care, he wanted not to feel the need of saving Dean of protecting him, he didn't want to feel so bad and hurt every time the hunter blamed him; but he knew he couldn't. He had chosen that path and he should take his own responsibilities.

Cas was also aware of what was going to happen if he stuck by Dean's side; he was an angel, a celestial being in the middle of a place full of monsters. It was as if he was holding a neon sign above his head that said 'hey! I'm an angel! Come for me!'. And that was dangerous, he knew that the leviathans would eventually find him and that wouldn't be pretty. He refused to let something happen to Dean because of him and if that meant that he would have to stay away from him, then so be it.

At that exact moment, something inside Dean cracked, he had had enough, he wasn't sure he would be able to continue much further; it wasn't fair, he never asked for anything of what was happening to him, he never asked to become a hunter, to lose everyone he loved and to always fight and keep on fighting, he had had enough.

So when Cas said sorry, and he was about to yell again at the angel he stopped, he looked at Cas, he stared at him allowing himself once more to get lost in those eyes. Dean was tired, he was exhausted; but every time he looked at the angel, he… he felt just, lost and safe at the same time, like all the words he wanted to say got stuck on his throat and he refused to let them out, Cas was his friend, his hunting partner, and most importantly, his angel. And he just couldn't bring himself to tell him that, instead he yelled and blamed him, because he was so fucking scared to do anything else, because he didn't want to imagine what would happen if he lost him again.

Cas made then his decision, he ought to leave Dean in order to keep him safe, that was for the best, he closed his eyes when suddenly the hunter got closer to him and grabbed his arm, he opened his eyes expecting that Dean looked at him with anger and disgust, but instead, he found himself staring at a man who looked at him with fear, sadness and regret…


Kevin helped Sam to take Balthazar into his room as they left Crowley on the room he had been sleeping in since he started helping the brothers.

The demon gently laid the angel's lifeless body into the mattress, then he sat on the chair next to her.

Crowley had had bad times, times when he felt lonely, or angry or even sometimes he had felt slight sadness, fear… but this feeling inside him now was completely different, because it was so strong, it made him want to scream and yell and plead to God or Satan or whoever to bring his angel back. He needed her back so bad, he stared at the still bod, expecting her to breathe again, to open those beautiful eyes and smile again.

Crowley's eyes got wet once more, he grabbed her hand, it was so cold, so soft. He squeezed it, but she never grabbed his back. His breathing was coming messy, he closed his eyes, he couldn't do it, he didn't want to do it. And then he opened his mouth, and all the things he had ever wanted to tell her came in a cascade of words from his dry lips, as the tears continued to fall from his eyes.

"I can't do this Angel, I need you. I'm so sorry, I should have been there, I should have never left your ssside, but I… I thought that way I would be able to keep you sssafe. I just, I wanted to visit you so many times, but then I… I thought that if I got you involved something would happen and I… I just couldn't. I wanted to keep you safe, after … after that time when the library was burning and I… I got so scare thinking of what may have happened." Crowley was now silently sobbing between sentences.

"And I don't know why, but… you alwaysss managed to make me… feel, and now I'm actually terrified, because I don't know how am I sssupposed to live without you. I just… I love you Zira, and I know that it's too late, but I love you and I can't do this, not without you angel" Crowley stopped, because he couldn't stop the flood of tears that rolled down his cheeks.

And then he did not longer care, because he began to yell and curse and kick things and punch the walls, because it was over, if he didn't have her, he didn't want to continue anymore.

The door opened at some point, Sam tried to get in the room, but the demon shut the door on his face, ignoring Sam and his begs to let him in. He continued to yell until he felt on the chair, he fell asleep before he realized, grabbing Aziraphale's hand strongly.


Balthazar slowly opened his eyes, he felt pain on his wing, but, when his vision focused, he realized that he was in the bunker, in Sam's room to be more precisely, which meant that he had been unconscious for several hours.

"Balthazar?" A voice said.

When Balthazar turned around he found the prophet, he was clearly really tired. Kevin stood up from his chair and walked towards the angel.

"Hello kid" Balthazar said, searching for Sam or for someone else. He realized that the bunker was too quiet.

"Where is everyone?" He asked, maybe they were asleep, but then he saw Kevin's face, pale and the kid was swallowing and looking at everywhere except Balthazar, definitely, not very subtle.

"Kevin, what happened?" Balthazar asked, the kid did not answer, instead he bit his lower lip.

Balthazar forgot about his wounds and stood up, he grabbed Kevin by the shoulders.

"Kevin, bloody hell, what is going on?" He half yelled, Kevin opened his mouth, but he did not have time to answer, because suddenly there was a loud crash, and Crowley's voice flew through the corridors, the yell was followed by another voice.

"Crowley! Crowley open the door!" Sam's voice said.

"GO AWAY!" Crowley cried in return, his voice was scary, but he sounded so broken.

Balthazar did not wait a second more, he ran from the room avoiding Kevin who tried to stop her.

When he looked at where the screams where coming from he found Sam, who was strongly knocking Crowley's room door. Balthazar could see the hunter's red eyes from where he stood, Sam looked tired, and ten years older than he was.

The hunter noticed the angel and he froze, Balthazar looked confused, no wonder why. Sam slowly separated from the room and walked towards the angel.

"What. Happened?" Balthazar said slowly, he wanted answers, now.

"Let's go back to the room" Sam said, and before the angel could say anything he added

"I swear I will explain" And so, they went back.

Balthazar did not sit down, Sam took in a deep breath, he did not want to tell him, but he deserved to know it.

"Balthazar, after you passed out" He started, maybe it was better to tell her about Cas first.

"Sam just tell me" Balthazar said, knowing that what he was going to say was nothing he wanted to hear.

"Cas and Dean disappeared, they killed Roman, but they somehow ended in purgatory" Sam said.

Balthazar stood still, his little brother was stuck in… bloody hell. Wait, but that didn't explain Crowley, because the demon was with Aziraphale and if he was yelling…

"Sam what happened to my sister?" Balthazar asked coldly.

"I'm so sorry Balthazar…" Sam said.

The angel tried to fly away, he did not want Sam or Kevin to watch him breaking down, but he couldn't fly, so he ran, he ran outside the room and the bunker. He began to cry silently.

He could not believe he had lost them, again, Cas, his little brother, the one who had always stood by his side, and Aziraphale, his sister, who had always believed in him and understood him better than anyone. He knew his father was a cold hearted bastard, but he could not believe he had let that happen. They had been so lost, so utterly helpless sometimes, without guidance, without the support of a father who had disappeared and who had left them alone.

"You bastard" He muttered.

"You can't take them away! they don't deserve that! Maybe I do, but they don't" Balthazar then thought of Sam, who had lost his brother again, and Crowley, who had probably gone mad because of his sister's death.

"They don't deserve that, Sam Winchester has already lost enough, he deserves peace, he deserves happiness! And Crowley, who fought against his nature to help when you had abandoned us! You can't take their happiness! It is not fair!" Balthazar was now yelling at the starry sky, his blue eyes were filled with tears, but he didn't stop, because his father ought to know what he had done.

"I may deserve it, I am the only one who deserves it, I ran away, but because I did not know what else to do! Nobody knew what to do, I may have been a coward, I may deserve to suffer for leaving heaven, but Sam, Dean, Aziraphale, Crowley and Cas and Kevin do not. Cas tried to clean the mess you left behind when you went away, and Aziraphale, she has always followed the right path, she gave her life to humanity and she has only done good, why would you punish her with death! And I think you made the Winchester's miserable enough, so please, please bring them back, it is the only thing I ask you, I have lost faith but they haven't" Balthazar said.

Sam had been listening all that time at the angel, he never thought that Balthazar felt so helpless, he always acted as if he didn't care, he always took everything as a joke. But seeing the angel that way… Sam walked towards him and put a hand on his shoulder, Balthazar stiffened and turned around. Sam couldn't help but to wrap his arms around the smaller man, he wanted to comfort him. Balthazar put his arms around Sam's neck and he pressed his head against his chest. Balthazar was crying and so was Sam, they just held onto each other, and even if they still hurt, the touch made them both felt safe, they were not alone.

Sam was really tired, and he knew that Balthazar needed to rest too. He picked Balthazar up in bridal style, the angel was still crying but his breathing had slowed down. They went back to the bunker, Crowley had stopped yelling and Kevin had fallen asleep on the couch. Sam took Balthazar to his room and put him on his bed, he took off his shoes (The blond angel had fallen asleep already) and his jacket, then he did the same with himself and without thinking what he was doing he laid down next to him, wrapping his arms protectively around Balthazar. Sam fell asleep immediately. They both had a dreamless night, well, Balthazar did start to shake in the middle of the night, but he stopped as Sam hold him more tightly.


"Dean, I…" but Cas couldn't continue because Dean cut him off.

Cas had said enough, this was his time to talk, his last chance to make things right.

"Don't you dare to say you're fucking sorry, because this is not your fault" Dean began, Cas couldn't believe what he was hearing, it had been a long time since Dean had talked to him without getting angry or yelling.

"But, Dean I…" He tried to say.

"Don't. Just let me talk first, okay?" Dean received a small nod from the angel.

"Look Cas, I know I have been acting like an asshole lately, I don't expect you to forgive me for what I have put you through; but I never wanted to hurt you. I was so fucking pissed off when you made the deal with Crowley, and then with the leviathans and you, you were gone. I didn't know what to do, you were gone and we needed you. And then you saved Sam, and I never got to thank you for it. Cas I just want you to understand that it was not your fault, we all mess up, hell I am an expert on that, but you never deserved what I did to you, and yeah, I forgive you for everything. But what gets me the most is that the only thing I wanted was for you to be there, for you to trust me" Dean said.

"Dean I do trust you" Cas said.

"I wanted to help you Cas, man I know I am the least person you would want help from but, I just couldn't watch you take the weight of everything on your shoulders. I wanted to help you, but you didn't let me. I don't care why, but I just need you to understand that…" Dean stopped the sentence, Cas looked at the hunter.

The first time Cas touched Dean he was overwhelmed, he hadn't really approached too much to humans, it was not because of his appearance, but because of his soul, it was so pure and bright. Cas had never told Dean, but the bond they shared had been formed by accident. Cas was glad that Dean never asked him why Sam didn't have a handprint, since they had both been rescued from heaven. Cas considered Sam his friend, but Dean had always been a problem to the angel's first emotions, Cas had always felt the need to protect Dean, it was like an instinct. Dean hadn't realize, and he was glad for that, because he knew how the hunter felt about 'personal space', but the angel still felt things when Dean was with him.

"I understand" Cas said.

Dean suddenly wrapped his arms around the angel, pulling him into a tight hug, the angel at first was still, but then he wrapped his arms around the hunter.

The moment was broken by a sudden scream. Cas saw a vampire running to Dean with his fangs out and it didn't took him a second to push Dean behind him and reach out a hand to the monster's head. Cas closed his eyes, and suddenly a bright light came out of the monster, who fell lifelessly to the floor.

"Wow, thanks Cas" Dean said, as Cas slowly turned around.

Cas was very glad and happy that Dean had forgiven him, and he had never felt so good than when the hunter had hugged him, but he was still a risk to Dean, and he refused to let anything happen to Dean because of his fault.

"Dean I have to go" Cas said, Dean's smile suddenly vanished.

"What?" Dean said.

"As I am an angel is easier for the beings here to track me down, and you would be safer without me" Dean could not believe what he was hearing.

"Have you not understood anything of what I told you?" Dean asked.

"I have, and I appreciate it, but I cannot risk your life"

"I am not letting you leave me again" Dean said, he could not lose him.

"I am afraid that it is my decision to make"

"Listen to me you stupid son of a bitch, if you dare to leave me I will find you and the monsters won't be the thing you'll need to worry about"

Cas was definitely astonished, certainly he knew that Dean was persistent, but he did thought that the hunter would understand his reasons.

Dean was terrified, Cas wanted to leave, he could not let him do that. He never told anyone, but the first night Cas was gone he told Sam he was going to a bar, but, in fact, he spent exactly three hours grabbing Cas' trench coat and crying and praying for him to come back. Sammy always joked about the eye-sex, but while he denied Sammy about it, he himself had realized that he enjoyed staring at Cas more than he should. And he had never told anyone that a week ago, he almost broke his hand by punching the wall because he had realized that he liked Cas.

And now here he was, about to watch his best friend leave him once more and trying to figure out what else could he say to make him stay.

But then, Dean Winchester was a man of action.

Cas was about to leave, he needed to go quick because he knew that if he didn't, he wouldn't be able to leave Dean.

"Stupid angel" He heard Dean say.

And then he suddenly felt a pair of arms holding him still, he opened his eyes, one more time to meet with Dean's. This time Cas could not read the hunter's expression, but he could feel his warm breath ghosting over his lips.

"Dean…" He said.

And that was Dean's cue; he closed the distance between the angel and himself and pressed his lips against Cas'. He had wanted to do that so badly for a long time. The world seemed to freeze around them.

Cas needed a few seconds to realize what was happening, he knew what a kiss meant, affection, care, love… Dean was in love with him. All the emotions that Cas had been keeping at bay suddenly freed, and the angel was overwhelmed, he was just, he was… he was in love.

Dean broke the kiss, he looked at Cas who was not moving, and he was staring at Dean with an expression Dean could not figure out.

"Cas I…" But Dean didn't finish, because Cas suddenly lounged forward and kissed Dean, who immediately kissed back. It was messy and warm, Cas arm's wrapped around the hunter's neck and Dean holding Cas tightly by the waist.

"I love you" Dean said as he pressed his forehead against Cas.

"I love you too Dean Winchester, and I promise you I won't leave your side" Dean smiled widely.

"Good, because I plan keeping you close" And for the first time, Dean felt peace, Cas was smiling, he felt happier than he had ever in his entire life.

Suddenly Dean's mouth opened as he saw Cas, because the angel had a pair of wings coming out his back, they were huge.

"Can you see them?" Cas asked curiously.

"Hell yeah" Dean said, approaching and caressing them, Cas shivered.

"Is it okay if I…" Dean asked, suddenly realizing that he might be invading Cas' privacy.

"Sure, but they are… very sensitive." Cas said, Dean grinned.

"How can I see them?" Dean asked Cas as he continued to cares the feathers

"Only our soulmates can" Cas said

"Soulmates?" Dean asked, hi smile growing even wider.

"Yes" Cas said as he curled a wing around the hunter.

"I really do love you Cas" Dean said laying his head on the angel's shoulder

"So do I Dean" Cas said as Dean's eyes started to close, the hunter fell asleep, surrounded by dark blue feathers and pressed against his angel's body.


Aziraphale opened her eyes, she wasn't on the parking anymore, she couldn't remember what had happened. She was in a garden, she blinked several times, she ought to be dreaming because suddenly she realized where she was, because she had been there before, she remembered the trees and the flowers; it was Eden.

Aziraphale remember the times when she used to guard the eastern gate of heave, when her brothers were still her brothers and she knew what her job was. She also remembered when her father casted the couple of humans out the garden, and she, in what she thought it was a rightful act, gave her sword to them; only to get it back almost a millennium later.

She also remembered that was the first time she met Crowley, he was on his human form, but his eyes were yellow and he hissed sometimes, she smiled when she remembered that.

"Aziraphale" She suddenly heard a voice, and when she turned around she faced a man, with beard, brown hair and a pair of blue eyes. But Aziraphale recognized him, she could have known who he was in a matter of seconds and without even looking at him.

"Father" Aziraphale whispered.

"Aziraphale, do you know the reason why I brought you here?" He asked.

"I don't know" Aziraphale said, still astonished.

"Aziraphale you died two hours ago on earth" He said.

The angel slowly began to remember, the pain, the fear, Crowley… And she started to panic, because she felt so confused, she was dead…

"Do not fear, my child" He said standing up and putting a reassuring arm on her shoulder.

"You have done well, Aziraphale, you have always done good"

"But I did nothing to help when the apocalypse started, the second one I mean" She said leaning slowly into his comforting hand.

"Aziraphale, you have given your life to save a demon, an unworthy and broken soul" Zira then freed herself from the touch and faced her father.

"He was also your son once, he fell and he has done more than me to help humanity, more than what you have done. You left us! A lot of us were scared and lost! Castiel has needed you more times than you could imagine and you never helped him!" Aziraphale then realized what she was doing and she covered her mouth with her hand.

But her father did not stop smiling.

"I am aware of that, my child, but there was a reason for my disappearance" He said as the angel waited expectantly.

"When Lucifer fell I realized something, he felt jealous for humanity, so I thought what did I gave them that you didn't have, you were more powerful, wiser and immortal; but there was something they had and you hadn't, and Castiel knows : Free will. I always told you what you had to do, so I decided to stop doing that, stop interfering and manipulating your lives." He said, Aziraphale stood quietly for a second, and then she looked at her father.

"But they had advantage, because we had never had that and we didn't know what to do with it, we were lost, as if we were blind-men who were just able to see suddenly, we didn't know how to be free" Aziraphale said, this time it was He who stood quietly.

"You are right" He said

"I made a mistake and I am sorry, I should have never left you, I should have guided you, but I will go back now, and I will rearrange things. Thank you Aziraphale, you were always the kindest of your brothers and sisters." Aziraphale blushed and smiled (knowing that they were more than a thousand, that WAS a compliment).

"Thank you father" She said, then she remembered what she had left on earth.

"Father, may I ask you what happened to my friends and brothers who were with me?" He looked at her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, the feeling was so warm and made Aziraphale felt like when she was just a fledging.

"You really care about them, don't you? Especially Crowley, isn't that true?" Aziraphale blushed and nodded, she really cared about that demon.

"After you passed away the demon had a very emotional reaction, which lead to him admitting that he was in love with you" He said smiling and even grinning a little.

Aziraphale felt her heart stop beating, she caught her breath, Crowley loved her, he loved her back! But…Oh, now it was a little late for that, she was gone and she would never see him again, she would never be able to tell him how she felt… how she had been feeling for a long time.

"Aziraphale? Don't you want to know about the rest?" She nodded, but the sadness had already taken her mind.

"Your younger brother, Castiel was sent to purgatory along with Dean Winchester" He said

"Purgatory? But he's an angel! He would be killed or worse! He doesn't…!" Aziraphale stopped when she saw her father's look.

"And finally Balthazar was shot in a wing, he had the youngest Winchester to look after him, but he won't be able to fly again, I believe; but when he heard about your death he began to pray to me, that's how I figured out what had happened."

Aziraphale was sad and a little bit angry, her father had let them suffer for too long, they deserved something else than pain and hurt.

"I am sorry for what has happened, my child. I have been ignoring you and you needed my help, but I think it is time to make a few things right; I will take Castiel and Dean Winchester out of purgatory and I shall heal your brother's wing." He stopped there, Aziraphale was happy, really happy for them, he wanted her brothers to have the happiness they deserve, but… but she wanted so bad to go back. She was aware that not even her father was allowed to bring back the dead, but he had brought back others sometimes , so… why couldn't he make an exception for her?

"As for you Aziraphale, you can return to guard the eastern gate, I will give you your power back" He said, Aziraphale tried to smile, she really did, but instead she felt her eyes wet.

He realized that. He was supposed to realize everything.

"Thank you father" She whispered sadly

"Aziraphale you are definitely the kindest angel of the garrison, why can't you tell me that you want to go back" He said, she shook her blonde hair.

"I can't ask you that, you are not supposed to do that" She said, sniffing.

"Just as I wasn't supposed to bring your brothers or the Winchesters back?" He said, Aziraphale then raised her gaze, he looked at her father grinning, and she couldn't help but to smile and laugh a little.

"Do you want to go back Aziraphale?" He asked

"Yes I really do" She answered.

"Do you love Crowley?" He asked, making Aziraphale blush again.

"With all my heart father" She said

"Then I hope this time you both make the most of this second opportunity, be happy, my child, continue to do good and visit sometime, I love you my child, tell Balthazar and Castiel that I am sorry and that I won't fail them again" He said

"Thank you father, I will, I love you too" And so, Aziraphale disappeared and He was left to bring order back, and to apologize to his children, he only hoped they would eventually forgive him.


Aziraphale woke up to find herself in a bed, she was back. She checked her side searching for the wound, but it was gone, happiness filled her entire body, this was it, this was her second chance, this was her opportunity to make things right, and she knew what the first one was.

She slowly got up as she searched for the demon, she was in a small room, with grey walls and a few pieces of furniture, which happened to be all on the floor, as if someone had thrown them there, and she knew who that someone was.

When she saw him she couldn't help but to gasp.

"Oh Dear!" She whispered as she saw the demon.

Crowley's glasses were on the floor, the glass had shattered onto a lot of little pieces, Crowley's clothes still had her blood, they were completely stained and wrinkled, and his hair was sticking all ways. His face held a very tired expression even though he was sleeping, and it was pretty obvious that it was not being a peaceful sleep.

Aziraphale took the glasses gently, the pieces went back to its place. She left them carefully on the bed.

She took a shaky breath and she knelt down in front of the demon, slowly caressing his face and his hair; Crowley opened his eyes, he slowly blinked several times until he focused on the woman sitting in front of him, the demon sighed and shook his head, which kind of surprised her.

"It's just another ssstupid dream" Then everything clicked inside her brain, he had been having plenty of nightmares, about her; that kind of made the angel's stomach twist. She had to make him see that she was not a dream.

"Crowley it's me" She said.

"No, you're just a dream" He insisted, he had close his eyes

"Crowley please open your eyes, it's me, I know I was dead, but I was brought back, dad brought me back" She said, grabbing his hand strongly.

"You're not real" Crowley whispered

"Please dear, I know you think you are sleeping but I came back, and I am never leaving you again, I am sorry you had to go through this, but it is over now, I just, Crowley please open your eyes, I need you to believe me, I need you to look at me" She said, and he did so, he slowly opened his eyes, and he met with her eyes, her beautiful blue eyes and she was there, and her white wings were filling the room, also bringing light, so pure.

"Do you believe me now?" She asked smiling, and he did, Go-Sa-Someone knew he did.

Arms wrapped around her as Crowley buried his head on her neck, he didn't want to ever let her go, afraid that she would leave again.

"Angel" He whispered as Zira also hold him tightly.

"Crowley…" She said suddenly breaking the hug, yellow eyes fixed on her as the demon tried to take in that his angel was alive.

"Crowley, my… my father told me something you said when I was, well…"Aziraphale refused to say the word, Crowley just nodded (deep inside he was terrified because he knew what she was talking about)

"Do you love me?" Aziraphale asked, no longer able to hold it any longer.

Crowley froze, he had never imagined he would ever make a confession to someone, but if there was one thing he was certain of was that he wasn't going to waste this second chance.

"Yes, I love you angel" He said, waiting for the angel to say something, but the words never came, instead he was answered by a pair of lips on his.

Crowley kissed back, he could not believe what was happening, he just couldn't, his heart had just burst into his own chest (yes, he had a heart), he had never felt an emotion like that, but this time, it was the best thing he had ever felt.

Then something inside Crowley cracked, and he broke the kiss in order to hiss in pain, his back ached badly.

"Crowley? Crowley what's wrong?" Zira asked worried as she watched the demon bending in pain.

And then the pain stopped, just like that, but something was different, the demon knew there was something, but he felt nothing wrong, actually, he felt better than he had felt in ages. When he looked at Zira, the worry had disappeared from her face and it had been replace by a very surprised face, and then a wide smile.

"What has just happened?" He asked, Zira just laughed.

"Oh dear! I wasn't the only one dad took care of" She said pointing at a small mirror on the wall.

When Crowley looked at the mirror he could easily have fainted, but he did not, instead he just let his jaw fall and his eyes widened as he twisted his body to get a better look of his back. Because a pair of wings had just grown on his back, they were his old wings, the ones he lost when he fell from heaven; and they were back there, just as if time had never passed. They were just like Zira's, maybe a little smaller, but they were back, and that could only mean…

"Dad restored my grace…" He said, the other angel chuckled.

"Indeed" She said

"They are beautiful" Zira said

"Just like you" Crowley said, Zira blushed and wrapped her arms once more around the ex-demon's neck.

"I love you" She said in a sigh.

"I love you too" Crowley said, hugging her tightly

"I'm glad he didn't decide to change your eyes" Zira said.

"Me too, I like those, although I guess I can no longer be the king of hell" Crowley said, Zira suddenly pushed him back, making him realize his mistake.

"You what?" She asked in a tone that made Crowley feel really afraid.

"Now that I think of it, shouldn't we tell the ressst that you are alive?" Crowley said, hoping that that gave him a little bit more of time to find an explanation for that.

"Oh! You're right dear, but that doesn't mean that you won't have to give me an explanation later" She warned him.

Then she proceed to take her hand and leave the room.


"Dean" The hunter heard someone calling him, but he didn't want to open his eyes, he wanted to continue sleeping

"Dean" The voice said again, he did not want to open his eyes because he knew where he was and he did not want to look around himself.

"DEAN!" Then he opened his eyes looking around, because he was pretty sure someone just had left him deaf on his left ear by yelling inside it.

"What?" He said groggily as he blinked to focus his vision, he was not mentally prepared for what he saw.

He was in the bunker, sitting on the couch next to Cas, who looked as surprised as him.

"What the hell?" He asked, he could not believe it, how the hell did Cas managed to get them out of…

"It wasn't me" The angel answered.

"Were you picking on my thoughts, wait a second, If it wasn't you then…" Dean asked really confused

"It was my father, he decided to take us back" Cas said as he continued to happily stare at the still very confused hunter.

"About time he did something about that" Dean chuckled; suddenly a third voice came from behind them

"Dean?" Sam asked not believing what he was seeing.


The youngest brother had woken up, and even though he had tried not to wake Balthazar, the angel had woken up as well. He looked pretty miserable, he was still pressing himself against the hunter's body; it was warm. They had decided to check up on Crowley, but the demon had really locked the door. That's when Balthazar realized something.

"It's gone!" He gasped as he proceed to move both of his wings and then hide them.

"What's gone?" Sam asked confused.

"The wound! My wing is just fine" Balthazar said, smiling for a second. Sam also smiled he was really glad that something had at least got better.

"But it would have healed eventually, wouldn't it?" He asked, Balthazar looked at the hunter.

"Yes, but the damage might have made me unable to fly again" Balthazar said, he hadn't wanted to worry Sam with that, they had bigger problems after all.

"Balthazar!" Sam said "You could have said something! You should have told me!"

"Well, it's okay now darling, but I do wonder how is that actually possible" Sam also thought about that, and then he knew who could have done that.

"Maybe your father did listen to you last night" Balthazar's eyes widened.

"I don't know Sam, I sometimes think that he never listens" He said, sighing.

Sam put an arm around his shoulders, and tried to smile to reassure the angel.

"We'll figure it out" He said, Balthazar wasn't sure, but he thanked Sam for the effort.

That's when they reached the living room and they met with an image that neither of them expected, because there were two people in the couch, cuddled against each other and smiling. Sam was the first on who recognize them as he let go of Balthazar…

"Dean?" He asked, his brother turn his head to look at him and smiled, he looked happier than Sam had seen him in years.

"Sammy!" Dean exclaimed as he walked to his very shocked brother and hugged him (a very manly, of course).

Balthazar took a second, then, before Cas could do anything he flew to his side staring at his brother a smile slowly appearing on his face.

"Cas" He said, relief filling his voice as he hugged his little brother, Cas slowly returned the hug.

"Wait, wait a second" Sam said looking at his brother before pulling out a silver knife and a small bottle of holy water, when he finished testing Dean he sighed and smiled.

"How the hell are you alive Dean?" He asked

"My father decided to free us from purgatory" Cas answered

"Dad did this?" Balthazar asked, positively surprised

"Yes Balthazar, I believe he has returned to heaven" Balthazar raised an eyebrow.

"Really? I was not expecting that" He said, but everyone could see that the angel looked really happy.

"Glad to see you're okay Sam and as much as it cost me to say this you too Balthazar" Dean said, making the angel grin.

"How are the others?" Cas asked, Balthazar then swallowed and looked at Sam for help, Sam understood that Balthazar did not want to explain to Cas what had happened.

"Cas, there was a small accident and Aziraphale… well she…" Cas was tilting his head, not understanding what Sam meant, Dean did and he hurried to his angel's side and grabbed his hand.

"She isss perfectly fine" A voice said, all four heads turned to meet with Crowley, grabbing by the waist a very alive Zira.


Balthazar was the first to fly into his eldest sister's arms, Zira hold him tightly as he was still unable to believe that it was real, Cas followed. The three angels hugged.

Sam and Dean watched happily as their angels were finally reunited, then Dean's eyes landed on the man next to the angels who had been holding Aziraphale a minute ago, but it wasn't Crowley what caught his eye.

"What the hell?!" Dean yelled catching the attention of everyone.

Sam followed Dean's eyes and was hit by a really unexpected image, because Crowley, the demon, king of hell had a pair of angelic white pure wings coming from his back.

"You forgot to hide them dear" Aziraphale said. Cas and Balthazar stared at him astonished.

"You are an angel?" Balthazar asked getting closer to him.

"I was a fallen angel, until seven minutes ago" Crowley said as he proceed to hide his wings and hold Aziraphale's hand again.

"Father has decided to give us all a second opportunity" Aziraphale said, then he turned to her brothers and started to talk to them in enochian.

Balthazar nodded and smiled, but Cas stood very still, and then tears began to fall from his blue eyes, he answered to Aziraphale and then walked to Dean and allowed him to wrap his arms to comfort him.

"Cas, baby? You okay?" Dean asked quietly, C as half nodded as he continued to bury his face on dean's chest.

"What did you tell them?" Sam asked Aziraphale.

"Our father talked to me and explained why he left, he asked me to tell them that he was sorry and that he would try not to fail again" Sam smiled as he turned to Balthazar.

"Yes, fine, you told me so" Balthazar said, as Sam smiled, then he proceed to grab Balthazar by the back of his neck and pulled him into a gentle kiss.

"Sam? What the hell are you doing?" Dean asked, Sam was about to reply, when Cas raised his head and looked at his hunter seriously.

"Dean, I believe you are in no place to tell Sam anything, since I already explain that angels have soulmates and if Sam and Balthazar are in love then you should accept it and be happy for them" Sam laughed, Dean had a blank expression and Balthazar had turned into a deep shade of red.

"Thanks Cas" Sam said turning back to Balthazar.

"Soulmates? I bet Kevin did not explain everything about angel's wings did he?" He said, Balthazar looked at Sam, embarrassment all over his face.

"I …" He said, Sam laughed, he had never imagined that an angel could look like that.

"I love you too Balthazar, he said pulling him into another kiss.

"Dude, leave that to the bedroom, I don't need to see my little brother making out with an angel" Dean said.

"Jerk" Sam said

"Bitch" Dean answered immediately.

"What the hell!" In the middle of the doorway stood a very confused prophet.

"You are dead! And you were gone! What's happening?!" Kevin yelled, becoming a little bit hysterical.

"Welcome to the Winchester's family kid" Dean said, and that time, the four angels and hunter couldn't help but to laugh, after all, maybe their life wasn't so bad, maybe all they needed was just somebody to share it with. Somebody to love.

THE END

Okay, so that's it folks, I hope you like it, let me know if you last scene was inspired by the first time Kevin meets Sam and Dean. God is still in Chuck's vessel. In this story, angels have only one soulmate, who is the only one they will show their wings for.

I have thought of making a story about Michael and Lucifer, about them getting out of the cage and some things happening, I also have an account on AO3 (I'm candytrickster67), in which I will soon post a one shot about doctor Mccoy (Star Trek) if anyone is interested in reading it.

Thanks for reading, please forgive me for my mistakes and leave a review.

Ciao folks
