The Winchesters have always had angels dicking around in their lives, but the extent of the manipulations only comes to light when Dean is returned from Hell a broken, changed man. The fate of the whole world rests on the shoulders of mortal hunters, dysfunctional brothers who hate and love and suspect each other all in the same breath.

The angels aren't much better. Of the seven archangels, only three still reside in Heaven. One has been lost to pride and envy, one to self-admitted cowardice, one to apathy and ennui, and one to the mists of history.

But God has a Plan, and these are the end-times. As the Plan unfolds, mysteries will be unravelled, secrets dug up from the dark, and the world will be saved or doomed based on the choices of a very few damaged souls.

To Weather Any Storm
7/7 - complete
Gabriel created a very special soul once upon a time, but he didn't get the opportunity to meet that soul until eons later when he sets eyes on Sam Winchester for the first time. When Dean dies, Gabriel finds he's become Sam's guardian angel, but Raphael has very different ideas about the way the Apocalypse should unfold. This series unfolds during the latter half of Season 3, and in the four months between the season finale and the Season 4 premiere.

Road to the Apocalypse
2/10 - incomplete
Dean crawls out of his own grave with a head full of bad memories. Sam has continued down the path he was intended to take - preparing himself to become Lucifer's vessel. Gabriel has a hole in his mind, where foreign emotions occasionally surge and swell. Castiel finds Jimmy Novak's influence more and more disconcerting as he tries to find a balance between faith and free will. And Lucifer is rising, slowly but surely, as the Seals break one by one.
