Supernatural Drabble: Cauterize

[kat_lair]

Drabble Fest 5/12 – for sadiane. Fandom and pairing/characters as requested.



Cauterize – Supernatural – Gen or implied Castiel/Dean – PG-13
Prompt: Repairs


“I can end it.” Castiel glances up where the sky is boiling, demons pouring out like pus from an open wound.

 “You don’t have to do this,” Dean says.

“I know.” And that’s the best and worst gift Dean Winchester ever gave him; freedom of choice.

“No,” Dean pleads. “Not you too.”

But Castiel is out of reach by now, already burning as he rises higher and higher. He thinks he finally understands them; Jimmy, Dean and Sam, even Lilith in her own way. It’s not the sacrifice itself that makes the act sacred. It’s those who you sacrifice for.
