Summary
Sam pulls Dean off the rebar. Dean wakes up, and Castiel is still gone. Nearly six months after Castiel's death, Dean finds himself staring down the barrel of addiction in a futile effort to relieve the pain from an injury that refuses to heal. Though, after a hunt gone wrong and one last bad decision, Dean finds himself nearly Baker Acted in Florida, forced into a recovery he doesn't want to face and memories he can no longer bury.
Halfway across the country, Castiel finds himself along the Oregon coast, seven months after Jack sent him back to Earth. When he embarks on what was meant to be a journey to discover both himself and Dean’s past, a dream sends him careening back into Dean’s path, to face a world he never wanted to imagine. While Dean comes to terms with his grief, Castiel scours the country, searching for any sign of him.
What he finds is Dean living out his retirement inside of a rehabilitation facility—and what Dean finds is the love of his life, brought back to him.
