   Summary

   In moments quick like camera flashes, Dean considers a world where he lives to old age—70, maybe 80 if he's lucky given the shit he's put his body through. And there's Cas, right next to him, still stubborn and discerning, with deep lines around his eyes and mouth, hair more silver than not, happy. Somehow, Cas is happy. Against all odds, Cas is happy. Happy to have chosen Dean, even if he...isn't enough.

   Camera flash future, there and gone. But there is always a vibrant afterimage, burnt on the inside of Dean's eyelids, bright and hopeful.
