    Summary

    As a child in God’s Playground, Castiel listened to the words of God through their Father Metatron and the Community Elders. He was eager to present and start his life serving with his brothers and sisters in their communities. On his sixteenth birthday, he woke in heat and immediately felt shame. He wasn’t sure what he’d done to anger God, but Father Metatron promised he and the rest of the Omegas would be cleansed, reborn as the Alpha they were meant to be. Instead of being cleansed, Castiel was ‘saved’ when the compound was infiltrated and broken apart. Castiel felt anything but saved.

    Dean knew when Ellen and Bobby agreed to foster Omega children rescued from the Apostles of Paradise that their lives would be changed. The cult was horrifying and Bobby had warned all three kids in the house that the boys might be a little damaged. Dean expected that, expected questions, confusion, grief, relief. What Dean didn’t expect was for his True Mate to walk through the door, carrying a hell of a lot of anger at his body, his presentation, and the world.

    Growing up as a teenager was hard enough. It’s hard to trust, to maintain your faith, to give yourself over to love. And yet, there’s the chance to find salvation.
