devil in the white dress and accessorizing for love

[retro_eidas]

While ogling seablue_eyes's epic Dean/Cas picspam, something dawned on me.

We had not one seductive blonde in a white negligee in FTBYAM, we had two. Chastity and Lucifer!Jessica. Both trying to tempt pure-of-heart heroes to Fall in their own respective ways? Cas facing the temptation of humanity and Sam the temptation of Hell?

Or possibly, Chastity was actually about to morph into a Chester? IDK.

YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE!!

Obviously it's sort of confunded since in SPN it would basically be Aragorn giving Arwen the pendant, but regardless, the pendant is about faith and (God's) love and hope. Dean not wanting Cas to give up on his quest, Arwen wanting Aragorn to persevere and come back to her.

Also pretty dark-haired, blue-eyed ethereal aliens love their mortal, surly world-saviors-to-be. XD

Yeah, if future!Cas kept it safe after the past 5 years despite all his hedonism, showing the amulet could quickly signify to the audience and sort of reassure present!Dean that there's still enough present!Cas in there.

If we're going to be angsty about it, if future!Cas should die, I'd really want present!Dean to find the amulet in his pocket or around his neck. Just the idea of Dean knowing he kept it the whole time is the crucial factor to me if the amulet is still around. That, even through a horrifying situation and in death, Cas never really lost faith (in God or in Dean). No matter his actions, future!Dean's demeanor or whatever Cas says in the ep.

Then future!Cas dies. \o/ Mwahaha!

I love how in both of our scenarios, Cas dying is pretty much the requirement. XD Someone has got to be dying though really. It seems prerequisite for SPN time-travel stories! It's also going to be lame if this supremely dangerous post-apocalyptic situation isn't killing some folks (I still suspect Ben Edlund is going to give us a Hamlet ending). Ma and Pa Campbell died in ITB. Bobby died and Dean died a million times in Mystery Spot.

Slightly random, but I've been wondering about the familial / generational motife too. In ITB (the past), it was the Campbells. Present it's the Winchesters. Future... who else would it be but Dean and Castiel (and technically Sam, I suppose)? So, we have at least one future that seems to suggest, Winchesters plus one is the familial unit. That plus one that just so happens to be all Dean's. ;) I guess that makes Cas Dean's Katherine Brewster. lol

Do you think he'll act like Cas is his subordinate or anything like that?

That is kind of what I'm expecting, unfortunately. It makes sense considering what Dean is apparently supposed to be like in the future.
