Summary: Dean grew up with a mother who loved him, a father who misunderstood him and a brother who worshiped him. Yet he remembered another life, one lived on the road, hunted by angels and demons alike. Plagued by false memories and familiar faces, Dean left home to try and make a life for himself. A chance meeting with a man who lives a world apart leads Dean to realize that a single action, no matter how miraculous, can't change the course of fate. It won't stop him from trying, though.



Author's Note: I have to thank fleshlycherry and Draoldan for all of their help throughout the writing process. Neither of them are Dean/Cas fans, particularly, and yet they put up with me constantly asking for opinions, and the constant read throughs. They helped me hammer down plot, improve my writing, and always asked “Why?” when I said “Because.” I don’t think I would have finished without their help.

Next, I have to thank dossier, who beta'd this after the fact, when I learned that scientists make terrible betas. Apparently we can't correct each other's work to save our lives, so dossier was a bit of a life saver there.

I also want to thank lizfu for the amazing artwork. Don’t forget to check it out and leave comments.

I was planning on doing the sequel for apocabigbang, but real life got in the way. The fic is 1/4 of the way written, and entirely plotted out, so I'll be doing it again for the deancasbigbang this year.

I'm planning on posting a timestamp to the universe shortly, if that helps. (I can let you know when if you'd like :)
