Jack is in charge of the universe and Castiel is no longer dead. There’s a new plan with a new system linking Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory together to create a fair afterlife for all. Dean enters Heaven six months later, which is bittersweet all around. But none of that is as difficult as the task Jack assigns to Castiel, declaring him the only angel for the job, which is to take in reborn angels and raise them like human children with a present father in a loving home, earning their loyalty through affection and guidance rather than orders and punishments. Besides the mission assigned to him to become a parent to his former siblings, Castiel also has to figure out what the two unfulfilled desires he has according to Jack, and how to achieve them once he does.

Note: This originated from a prompt for @dadstielminibang, which I fell in love with and got a bit carried away with, but because I got sick towards the end of the event, it wasn't quite ready in time. But, fortunately, @hawkland was still willing to see it through with me, so here is the first half of it and I'll be editing the rest and getting it up soon.
