    Summary

    Dean Winchester had never known anything else. Growing up as a Man of Letters just as his father and grandfather did before him, Dean was aware from a young age the responsibilities shouldered both by himself and his brother, each destined to one day become the vessels to archangels, and fulfil a prophecy as old as Creation itself. He isn’t happy about it, but then who would be? His father is consumed by the loss of his wife, and Sam is a willing participant in preparations for the oncoming Apocalypse, thrilled by the power of the demon blood that Dean is certain must be corrupting him far deeper than anyone can know.

    And then there’s the angel. Captured in Maine on the 23rd April 1901, the dazzling and beautiful Castiel influences three generations of Winchesters, and in perhaps unlikely circumstances, alters the path of each of their fates.

    Legacies is told from Henry, John and Dean’s POVs, and runs canon-adjacent to seasons 1-5, telling an alternate timeline story where, ultimately, fate is unavoidable no matter how stark the changes. More importantly it is a romance with a moral, that attraction is rarely ever just skin deep, and that when it comes right down to it? Love is love.
