Yeah, when I was trying to think of something suitably dark and unhappy for a comm like dystopia, it occurred to me somewhere along the line that Dean would probably only love Cas at a point when Cas didn't want it from him anymore. So I tacked that on to an older idea I'd been playing with, that God kept Castiel around to orchestrate his own end. And then the angst happened kind of on its own. Thank you for reading and commenting! I don't normally write like this, so I was a bit nervous.
This was really, really good. The concept was original and fantastically executed, and the way that you wrote the ending was absolutely perfect: it was sweet in a way, with the idea of Dean being a protector and just wrapping up Castiel and giving him hot chocolate. On the other hand, though, the way that you wrote Castiel's perspective in a sort of detached, apathetic way made his care more horrifying -- like for Castiel, it's a punishment worse than death. I liked this a lot.
:D That was exactly what I was aiming for -- the thought that maybe, in time, Castiel might want to live again, and be happy with Dean, and that thought scared him more than anything else.
I always wondered how things would be if God ever showed back up. Your portrayal of this it amazing. I found it to be very believable not to mention heartrending. Poor Cas. You have also caught Dean Winchester's personality. He is exactly as you made him. GREAT STORY!! <3

Also - killer last line, Cas wrapped in Dean's arms and Dean's iron will.
