Notes: Written for apocabigbang. judas_denied beta edited this for me and did all of the graphics within the story as well as art for it here and here. They're really awesome, so go look at them and give her praise. She also wanted to do a soundtrack, which is at the end of the final chapter.//This is AU from about the time Castiel entered the show, so keep that in mind. The story does not follow the last half of season 4 or any of season 5.

When Castiel finally took the plunge and fell from grace, it was like nothing Dean would have ever imagined. It happened in a way that his mind would have shied away from even in his most vivid nightmares. Castiel didn’t walk away, didn’t jump or get shoved off of his cloud. No high up angelic boss man revoked his halo or stripped him of his wings. It happened in a dark, cold place and it was more like watching a tired man treading water, finally be dragged into the deep by a shark.
