Summary
In their Alternate Universe of It's a Terrible Life (Season 4, Episode 17), Dean Smith (Dean Winchester) and Sam Wesson (Sam Winchester) left their nine-to-five lives behind, and here they were in Massachusetts, by the ocean. They routinely traveled, saved lives, hunted monsters, and undertook various odd jobs for money. They were still figuring out how to live and have an income while saving people. They'd managed by selling off their belongings, giving them a small financial cushion until they could find more stable means, but they were now close to running out.
An opportunity arises to hunt a siren, and Dean jumps at it. Sam wanted to hunt something other than ghosts, and the small town is paying for their entire stay, so it's a win-win...Right?

Summary
Reaper Castiel has one simple job: to usher the souls of deceased humans through the Veil and into the afterlife. For countless eons, he has performed this job without thought or question. But that changes when he is called upon to reap the soul of Dean Winchester.
Because Dean Winchester is the one soul that Castiel cannot seem to reap.
An invisible thread links Dean and Castiel together, through tragedy and loss, through doubt and rebellion, through Heaven and Hell alike. And eventually, Dean and Castiel will gather the strength they need to defy not only the enemies surrounding them, but also Death itself.

Summary
Inspired by Demon Dean killing Sam with the First Blade in Atomic Monsters, this fic asks what if Cas was forced to kill Dean to save him from the MOC and he made a similar deal with the Shadow? Dean and Cas both believe they'll never find a moment of true happiness, so making a deal with the Empty is a win for each of them. But intervening canon events make that prospect more difficult with each passing day.
Excerpt
It’s the only way, no matter how desperately his heart wants to resist the cold, suffocating reality of it. Part of Cas wants to scream at the injustice. He wants to turn back time and somehow undo all the choices that led them here.
The road to Cas’ personal Hell was paved with good intentions, but that won’t stop them all from burning in the flames.
40 years in hell and he never turned, but Dean’s only one man. He took on the Mark to save humanity only to lose his own in the process.
If he could, Cas knows Dean would ask him to end this for him. He knows that. So he's going to stop Dean, even if he crushes his own heart in the process. Tonight is the night he kills the monster Dean Winchester has become.- Language:
