It's only been a week since the season finale of Supernatural and already I'm having withdrawals...
So! I've decided to dust off my Dean journal and throw out some lines. I am a HUGE Dean/Cas shipper and would love to do something with them in a Post-Apocalyptic world. The episode "The End" in one of my favorites and has such a great concept that I'd love to explore. In my slash orientated mind, I always assumed Dean and Cas hooked up some time after Sam says 'yes' to Lucifer. Dean being all grief stricken and Cas being newly human. (I don't remember if they said how that happened but I'm assuming Lucifer clipped his wings) For a while things are great, until Dean starts becoming a shall of the man he once was, causing Cas to lose himself in a drugged out state. Of cores by then it's too late, and the feelings are already there. Now from there we could go a couple different ways:
1.) We could play out the years between Cas and Dean as the Apocalypse unfolds. Dealing with Sam being gone, getting the camp together, and the co-dependent relationship forming between Cas and Dean. It would be watching Dean change into a ruthless leader, and the effects it causes on Castiel. (I'd be most interested in playing Cas for this one, but I'm down for either.)
2.) We could bring in Past!Dean and play him against Future!Cas. He could discover the unexpected relationship his future self had once shared with the fallen angel and go from there. I'm thinking Cas' would still have strong feelings for Future!Dean, even though there wouldn't be much of the old Dean left. Past!Dean coming in and reminding Cas of the man he had once fallen in love with. (I would be willing to play both Dean's for this one, or both Future Cas and Dean, against Past!Dean. In fact, I like this concept so much I'd be willing to do a few lines with this one. Playing different characters if possible.)
Let me know if either of these sound interesting to you. Or if you have any suggestions of your own! I might also be interested in a dark line against a Sam!Lucifer or a back from the dead Jo Harville.
