If Cas dies (I originally typed "goes down"), I don't see how that doesn't lead to a Heavenly Smackdown on Team Free Will, and without a supernatural ally, I'd have a hard time buying that they last any time at all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cas could go down as part of a winning effort, though.
Still, Balthazar in charge of heaven? Oy.
Then again, if Cas is in charge of heaven next year, how do they work him into the storylines?
Maybe God shows back up.

I feel that they would have room to maneuver if this happened, as Death seemed to come down on Team Free Will's side for his own reasons and I doubt anyone's getting out of that cage without his say-so. If informed that he'd best not hold his breath waiting for the Apocalypse 2.0, Raphael might not bother to strike the guys down.

Heavenly Smackdown on Team Free Will
I don't see why, as Raph has only targeted them that one time because Cas used them deliberately as bait and gave them a red herring for Raph to chase. I think that if Cas bites it, Heaven will have no more interest in the boys? There's no more vessel nonsense they have to deal with.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
specially if it was some filthy lost weekend on a cloud with Cas.
You need to write this, after other stuff is done.
OOH or on the Titanic.

It's been stated that Raphael wants to restart Armageddon. For that, she needs vessels for both Michael and Lucifer to occupy once they're freed. Of course, before that her motivation seemed to be a nihilistic certainty that God was dead, and before that she was obeying orders and watching over Chuck. Who knows what her intentions will be next season?

If the vessel issue were to arise again, then that just ensures that Dean and Sam live (even if it involves them being brutally murdered and reanimated repeatedly).

Unrelated to everything that preceded it, can someone write a letter to Sera and ask her for one more bitch/jerk exchange before the series ends? I would send her flowers.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I would, too.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'll chip in.
