Destiel Fanfic Something in the world is waking up.
It isn’t long before it’s brought to the attention of the Winchesters and Castiel: miracles are spreading across the country, the paranormal seems to be shrinking back on itself—and it all has something to do with the missing prayer book of a traveling preacher who died over a century ago.
Dean is convinced it’s all the lead-up to another Apocalypse; Sam and Castiel aren’t so sure. Regardless, it sends them out on a less-than-typical road-trip, following the Mississippi and remnants of a very old story that seems increasingly to call to them. And along the way the trio learn much more about themselves—and the consequences and origins of love—than they’d ever have anticipated.
This is my favourite fic of all time. My favourite thing I've ever read actually. I think about it and it brings a tear to my eye. Nothing will ever top it. I want this etched into my brain. I want to tear pages out and put them on my walls and clutch them to my chest. I want to eat this fic. It feels like a part of me. It made me who I am. If I could rate it a billion stars I would. I’ve read it something like 10x since 2016
I’ve also realized recently that the style of writing reminds me of stuart mclean in the best and most nostalgic, slow, restful, soft way.
