Summary: Cas managed to survive the apocalypse. He watched the angels, who are little more than wicked, winged monsters, as they destroyed the world. He not only bears scars, but responsibilities to those who lived. But now he is faced with a challenge. Can he truly be the perfect vessel that will be used to right all the wrongs that plague the lingering remnants of humanity? If Cas believes in what the angel who visits him in his dreams tells him, he need only trust Dean long enough to save the world. But can he truly be that lucky?

What happens when @friendofcarlotta and @hawkland get together and share a vision?!?! Amazing things! They combined forces to create a reverse bang that wasn't short or rushed and gave authors the opportunity to dive in and bring their incredible visions to life. On a server where a discouraging word has never been heard, they are the chief enablers that kept everyone's creative sparks flaming! And I want to thank them both, very much, for being tireless cheerleaders! (And yes, all of the other authors who have never been afraid to break out the pom-poms at a moment's notice and are far too numerous to list...)
I also need to thank @teeglass for hearing my vision and agreeing to let me run wild! This is not a standard reverse verse, and a lot of new lore was created. But the story will still feel very familiar. The gorgeous art that inspired me deserves all the love!
So, please. Buckle up and I hope everyone enjoys the story and the glorious art that inspired it!
