This AU is being written in a series of connected one-shots, so each story should be readable alone. Characters will eventually include...well, everyone, really. Genre is mostly angst and hurt/comfort so far. Oh, and it's gen. I don't really write anything else.

Basic premise: Castiel goes back in time to stop the Apocalypse. Things go wrong. Things go VERY wrong.

A Cleansing for My Humanity (Words: 4800) It was a coping mechanism, Bobby figured. The personality shifts were a little disturbing, though.

While Children Softly Fold Away Their Years (Words: 5268) "I'm a hunter," Bobby said. "Just another hunter, Winchester. I don't want anything from you. But, well, I've got this kid here. He says he needs to talk to you. He says he knows what killed your wife."

And Make Their Quiet Pleas for Sanity (Words: 5181) Jimmy doesn't want to go to school, and Bobby doesn't know what to do.

I Feel the Failure of Protection in My Bones (Words: 5151) "Well, something has happened, yes," the principal said slowly. "Not to your son, per se. More accurately, he did something to someone else."
