Summary
Set near the end of "Spider-Man 2"
He wanted to die doing the right thing. He wanted to prove that he wasn't a monster, even if correcting his mistakes meant dying with his creation. In the end, he didn't care that he was sealing his fate.
His actuators, on the other hand, were not quite so eager to die.
So what is a man with four voices in his head, a criminal record, and no purpose left supposed to do when he survives his attempted heroic sacrifice? What does he do when he worries about his mind being overwhelmed by the actuators again and being turned back into a monster? What does he do when his life seems pointless and he's lost everything that ever gave it meaning?

Summary
There is a wishing tree on the outskirts of Kansas. People believe it is haunted, because sometimes, in the quiet, in an echo of the wind, you can hear the voice of a lost loved one. That is because this particular cedar tree was a former doorway to Heaven, the thinnest space between earth and the veil.
Dean doesn’t know any of this; he just knows it’s a place Cas liked to go because it’s peaceful, reminiscent of the angel’s favorite Heaven of an eternal Tuesday in a garden. The loss of Castiel is a pain that runs deep, so much so he is unable to move on.
Like clockwork, Dean finds himself sitting in the shadow of the tree every Sunday, spoken words unheard as he spends hours fruitlessly updating the angel on all of the happenings of their lives. Without him. Cas wasn’t a big talker, so sometimes, Dean is able to pretend he’s there, listening to every word that escapes. And sometimes he just can’t.
That is, until the day he swears he hears Castiel’s voice.
[Prompt by kitsunecastiel:
Come back down to the wishing tree,
My dear, my truest love,
For now, have you one final plea,
In remembrance of my blood.][Art by the incomparable anyrei]

Summary
The taunting worked. All that was left to do… Danny’s hand wrapped around the familiar cylindrical shape of the Thermos. He spun, pointing it at Freakshow and switching it on and…
Nothing happened.
The Thermos made a whirring sound, as if it was attempting to activate, but there was no suction from it. No catching of the ghost in front of him.
The Thermos was broken.
He failed.

It cost so much to fix reality.
Why did Clockwork send him so far away?
What help could a war-scorched and dead timeline and an immortal alchemist possibly be in the wake of tragedy?
