Summary: When God made humans, Death made Reapers—ushers between Heaven and Hell and devoted operatives since the dawn of time. There’s a hierarchy, an order, and the Reapers are assigned souls who match well with their individual classifications.
While Reapers live in solidarity, awaiting their next assignment, three unlikely agents of Death connect due to…unique circumstance. And their friendship is downright unheard of.
Dean and Castiel are perfectly content with the job, but Sam is weary. As a Misericordia Reaper, he uses soft words and compassion to lead the special gone-too-soon souls to the other side. He sees beauty in humanity, feels anger in their God, but more than anything: he wants the chance to be one of them.
The concept of Existence for a Reaper is unprecedented but Sam craves it, needing to get out before he fucking cracks.
Although it’s a shock to Dean, he’ll support and follow his friends anywhere, even to a life on Earth. The thing is - Castiel is a Probitas Reaper: he’s only led those sick, waste-of-space humans to the Gates of Hell. He can’t comprehend Sam’s idiotic idea since he’s only known the the depraved and the wicked.
They’ve always been inseparable, bonded, a family—but this may be enough to break them.
