Summary: An AU based on the Disney movie Treasure Planet, which in turn is based on R.L. Stevenson's Treasure Island.
Ever since he was a little boy, Castiel has known that he is destined for adventure. When a dying man gives him a map to the fabled Treasure Planet, it seems that destiny is about to be fulfilled.
Author's Notes and Acknowledgements: I owe a huge thank you to my lovely beta and cheerleader sylvia-locust, without whose encouragement I never would have finished this story. I also want to thank my sweet and amazing artist terrorinyertub, who has been far kinder to me than I deserve. I'm sorry I've been such a pain and that this story doesn't begin to do your beautiful art justice.
Because my real life has been far busier than I'd anticipated, I haven't had as much time as I would like have liked to spend on this story. I feel that especially the ending could use more work, so I intend to go back and improve what I can. Therefore, if you're planning on reading this story, be aware that parts of it may change.
An additional warning: I have been made aware that the way in which I write the relationship between Dean and Castiel, as well as my portrayal of the characters, can be seen as problematic. I'm not sure how to put it, other than to say that Dean is rather horrible to Cas and Cas is far too forgiving, possibly to the point of acting without self-respect. It isn't how I see their relationship, it isn't what I would call a healthy relationship and it certainly wasn't how I'd meant to portray it. I'm trying to think how I can change it, but until I've found a way and the time to do a rewrite, I want any potential readers to be aware of the problem, so that no one else is made to feel uncomfortable by it. My apologies.
Now, if you haven't already done so, I think you should go and let Terra know just how beautiful her art is. Because it is. :-) As you can see.
