Why this must be read: After Castiel's line in 5.22 about leaving to become the "new sheriff" in Heaven, many authors took the concept and ran away with it, to the delight of fandom. There are several things I love about this story: 1) the description of how heaven is set up is imaginative; 2) Castiel thinks nothing of killing Dean to transport him to Heaven when he needs him; 3) and Ash and the Roadhouse crew are awesome as the rebels leading a revolt within Heaven. Add in a smidgeon of Dean/Cas and you've got the makings of an entertaining read.


“PEACE, BROTHERS AND SISTERS,” Castiel continues, really just making this up as he goes. He must give his thanks to Dean for that. “THE APOCALYPSE HAS ENDED. THIS IS NO TIME FOR FIGHTING.”

“Wait,” Raziel says, from somewhere near Britain. “Weren’t you powerless, like, twelve earth hours ago?”

Castiel shrugs. “APPARENTLY—” he coughs. “Apparently our Father plays favorites.” He lets that sink in for a moment, and hides a metaphysical smirk when Raphael’s face goes brittle and angry. “I have come to be...the ‘new sheriff,’ as my comrade put it.”

Raphael has had enough. “Comrade? You mean Dean Winchester, the human you abandoned Heaven to have carnal relations with all over 21st century America?”

In an instant Castiel is next to Raphael, and in the next Raphael has been flung, dazed, straight to 6th century BC Israel.

Castiel smiles serenely. “ANYBODY ELSE?”

The Host just shake their collective metaphysical heads, and that’s that.
