He didn’t say much as the reaper came to him in the night, telling him that it was time, that he was going to have to pay the debt that he created that one evening. The reaper handed him the scythe and said that there was no world without death. He who kills death must become death himself.

And so that’s what Dean became.

He watched with tired eyes as his brother desperately tried to find a way to save Dean from this fate of an immortal eternity. He tried all the way up to the moment that Dean came for him one night, hand outstretched, saying that it was finally time to come with him.

And Sam did without question. He followed Death into the endless abyss, bowing his head for one final time.

I like to think of

Dean, Sam, Castiel, and Crowley in an AU where they’re the Four Horsemen.

Dean is Death.  You’d expect Death to be scary looking, or solemn and cold.  But Dean is golden and beautiful and yes he can be solemn, but he can also be bright as sunlight.  Because people fear Death, but he’s not cruel and a warm smile and a gentle touch soothes the souls most terrified of him when he comes for them.

Sam is Famine. He’s always hungry.  Starving.  For blood, for souls.  It’s an addiction that burns and claws and itches and bites under his skin.  But he tries so very hard to keep himself in check.  Dean helps him when it’s really tough, reminding him why he shouldn’t go find a city and devour every soul until he’s bursting at the seams.  And when Dean reaps a particularly bad soul, the kind that doesn’t even deserve the “comforts” of Hell, he’ll give it to Sam to snack on.

Castiel is War.  On the surface he looks calm and placid, but he’s like a lake in the caldera of a slumbering volcano.  And when he looses his temper, he destroys everything in his path.  Dean walks beside him, ending the suffering of the injured and the starving and the diseased.  He doesn’t judge or try to stop Castiel, but is there to comfort him when his anger finally dies and he realizes all the destruction he’s wrought.

Crowley is Pestilence.  Lord of everything from colds to the plague.  But also less tangible infections.  When darkness seeps into the minds and hearts of people, that is his touch.  Hate and jealousy are spread from soul to soul like the flu is spread from body to body.  The darkness kills through violence rather than illness, but it’s just as effective.  Crowley’s very proud of his creativeness with that.  Dean just shakes his head at Crowley and tries to keep him away from Castiel.

TFW as three of the four horsemen because I wanted them in badass suits.

When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.

When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
