Summary:
Their whole lives, Dean and Castiel’s relationship has been entwined. Dean takes care of Castiel because of his illness and they all struggle with day to day life. They live in what used to be Kansas in what used to be the United States. Now known as Republica, physical aliments are a thing of the past, mental illness is highly monitored and fixed, and everyone lives as a caricature of America in the 1950s, where men were men, women were women, and anything out of the norm was deviant. Dean lives with the guilt of wife’s death, and the feelings that he’s always had towards his best friend.
