the ashes by imogenbynight

1.2k | mature | deancas

a 13.01 coda with dean scattering cas' ashes. technically this is canon compliant but i feel like i need to trigger warn for like… cannibalism? not really but. man. idk.

Dean sits with the ashes when they get back to the bunker. Sits with them and stares and goes a little insane with it, until he can’t stop imagining himself cracking open the lid and reaching his fingers inside.

Would Cas be soft? Chalky, velvety, like the white-charred remnants of driftwood after a bonfire? Would he be rough as his voice; as the sand his pyre had been built upon?

With a belly full of fire and whisky and desperate unease, he stares and stares as his thoughts spiral. As he thinks about pressing his damp index finger into the ash and raising it to his mouth. Swallowing it down and letting Cas become a part of him.

He could keep Cas forever that way; absorbed into his being.

Fuck, he can’t stop thinking about it.

Years ago, they worked a case where a young couple had been so frantic with love, intensified to the trillionth degree by the cruel touch of famine, that they'd eaten one another alive. Torn into each other's flesh with teeth as they clung together, ecstatic and bloody. Dean remembers feeling as confused as he was revolted by what had seemed to him a far-too-literal leap from desire to hunger.

Now, though, he kind of understands it.

Because it wasn't hunger, exactly, that lead to such a violent conclusion. It was need, followed through to its inevitable end. And he gets it now. Gets wanting to take the one you love into yourself and keep them there always. To hold them so wholly that they become a part of you, so you can never be parted again.

Of course, that's the thing that stops him, in the end. Not what should have stopped him--not the sick, visceral horror of what ultimately equates to eating his best friend's remains, no matter how he spins it--but the fact that tying Cas to himself in such an irreversible way feels like a betrayal. A punishment to Cas' spirit, however much of it still exists. He can't do that. Can't force whatever part of Cas' grace or soul might linger in the ash to endure however many years Dean has left as a part of him. Can't tether Cas so selfishly in death when Cas had never seemed to want to stay with him in life.

Cas might have been the love of Dean's miserable fucking life, but he's not under any illusions that the feeling ran both ways.

He learned early that it wasn't even possible--learned before he'd even fully slipped into loving Cas himself. Learned before he ever could have known how important it would be to him. Anna had told him, point blank, and he'd seen the difference in her. Human, feeling; angel, cold. And sure, Cas has come a long way -- had come along way by the end. He feels. Dean knows he feels, and feels for him, in particular. But his capacity for it is limited, and it's never been clearer than in his ability to leave Dean behind at a moment's notice. He's detached. Was detached.

So he can't force Cas to be a part of him. Would never forgive himself.

When he had eventually started falling, he'd hoped the knowledge that nothing could ever come of it would help keep him from toppling headfirst into something deeper than a fleeting infatuation. He hadn't been so lucky.

And now here he is, staring down a can labeled Cafe Bustelo Medium Roast and thinking the kind of thoughts that make his stomach turn in endlessly cycling fits of longing and revulsion, all because he fell in love.

It's half past five in the morning when he decides he can't keep the ashes in the bunker. Can't have the sick temptation. Less because he thinks he's actually going to do it, and more because he knows he won't be able to stop thinking about it whenever he sees the tin. So he scoops up the tin, and creeps down to the garage to the Impala, and drives west on US-36. 

Keeps driving until the rising sun starts turning the sky in his rearview a pale shade of pink, and he sees a few lonely lightning bugs blinking in and out of view on an quiet roadside near Phillipsburg.

He's pulled over before he's consciously decided to do so.

It's a pretty spot, is his first thought. Tall grass and scattered wildflowers spanning the open meadow which slopes down to a stream. A rusted old windmill stands vigil over the scene, slowly spinning in the gentle breeze.

Cas would like it here, is his second thought. Would gaze up at the windmill and make some observation about the ingenuity of human invention, and crouch down to watch the fireflies as they gently sink back into the grass at the arrival of the sun. 

The image is so clear in Dean's mind that he forgets, just for a second, that Cas is gone. Or-- he doesn't forget, exactly. He just isn't thinking about it so directly. Is so focused on the visual of Cas in the tall grass beside him, on the memory of his voice and the way his long fingers would look dipping between blade of grass that when he looks back down at his hands, at the coffee can he's holding with white-knuckled grip, the reminder of why he's here is harsh enough to leave him winded.

"I woulda brought you here," he says once he's caught his breath, like Cas can hear him, but it's a lie. They rarely had downtime, and whenever they did Cas almost always took off. Dean was lucky to get him to stick around long enough to watch a movie, most of the time. But he'd have wanted to bring him here. That much is true. He would have wanted to.

"I hope--" he starts, then stops, drawing his lip between his teeth and looking first to the sky, then to the ground, then just closing his eyes. Taking several deep breaths. "Man... Cas. Cas, I hope you're--"

Okay. Safe. Alright. Fuck, but all the words he has equate to alive, and with me, and whole, and underneath them all an unwavering current of coming home soon. Anything else feels like another lie. His throat clicks on a swallow.

"I hope you're happy," he says finally, and pries the can open. Stares down at the small cloud of ash that rises with it. "I'm gonna miss you for fucking ever, but wherever you are... I really hope you're happy."

With the windmill at his back, and the field of flowers spread out before him, he lets Cas' ashes run through his fingers as he gives him over to the earth, and he doesn't notice the texture at all. He's too busy thinking about how Cas' hand felt in his the last time he'd helped him to stand. How heavy he'd been, then. How light he is now.

It's not until he's preparing to return to his car, wrung out and cracked open and raw as an exposed nerve, that he notices the thin cut on his ring finger. He must have nicked it on the coffee can, or the fence, or the dry grass, and it doesn't hurt, but-- his blood is swelling from it in a bright red drop, and his hands are dusty with ash. His heart lurches at the sight of Cas' ash and his own blood mingling.

He raises his finger to his mouth.

Cas is holy on his tongue.

Went back to Phillipsburg Mall, got these two shots before the mall cop told me to fuck off.

The Phillipsburg Mall opened to fanfare in 1989, the last mall developed in the Lehigh Valley which offered a fresh experience compared to all the other, 70s-era malls in the region. It badly hurt business at the much smaller nearby Palmer Park Mall. But fortunes turned for a few reasons, some of which were faults inherent in the design of the Pburg Mall.

But the main reason, no doubt, was the gradual offshoring of the Ingersoll-Rand Corporation, which had been Phillipsburg's largest employer & taxpayer for almost a century. Ingersoll-Rand employed 5,000 of Phillipsburg's almost 19,000 citizens in the 50s - declining to 500 employees by the time the plug was finally pulled in 2000. Ingersoll-Rand left its hometown of 97 years with no jobs, no taxes, and 380 acres of polluted, contaminated, vacant land. It's now based in Ireland, a tax haven. And Phillipsburg's population declined alongside the Ingersoll-Rand jobs.

The already-struggling mall was bought by slumlord Namdar Realty in 2013, who in 6 years bled the mall out before notifying the remaining tenants that they were being evicted on Christmas Eve no less, 2019. Despite overseeing the death of the mall in just 5 years' time, dishonest business practices allowed Namdar to profit millions of dollars from the Phillipsburg Mall.

Flexible and Reliable 53 Foot Storage Trailer Rentals in Phillipsburg, NJ

In today's fast-paced world, finding the right storage solution is crucial, especially for businesses in Phillipsburg, NJ. Whether you're a small business owner or managing a larger operation, having access to flexible and reliable storage can make all the difference. With the economy booming and more businesses emerging, the demand for efficient storage solutions has never been higher. This is where 53-foot storage trailer rentals NJ come into play, offering a versatile option that caters to various storage needs.

Local businesses in Phillipsburg are constantly evolving, and with that evolution comes a need for adaptable storage solutions. Traditional storage units can be limiting in terms of space and accessibility. In contrast, 53-foot storage trailers offer the flexibility and mobility that businesses require. They can be used for short-term projects, seasonal storage, or even as a part of long-term logistical strategies.

The Benefits of 53-Foot Storage Trailer Rentals

Space and Flexibility- One of the primary benefits of opting for a 53-foot storage trailer is the ample space it provides. These trailers are perfect for businesses that require a large amount of storage but prefer it to be movable and readily accessible. Unlike stationary storage units, these trailers can be easily relocated to different sites, making them ideal for businesses with dynamic operations.

Cost-Effectiveness- Another significant advantage of using 53-foot storage trailer rentals nj is cost-effectiveness. Instead of investing in building new storage facilities or leasing expensive warehouse space, businesses can rent what they need when they need it. This pay-as-you-go model helps manage operational costs more efficiently, freeing up capital for other business areas.

Versatility and Security- 53-foot storage trailers are not just about space; they offer versatility in use. These trailers can be utilized for various storage needs, including equipment storage, inventory overflow, and even as a part of an emergency response strategy. Their robust build also ensures that stored goods remain secure against environmental elements and potential theft. For businesses dealing with sensitive or high-value inventory, the security features of these trailers are a significant benefit.

Features of Leading Storage Rental Company

Reliable Service and Support- When choosing a storage trailer rental company in Phillipsburg, NJ, reliability is key. The best companies offer exceptional customer service, ensuring that their clients' needs are met promptly and efficiently. This includes offering flexible rental terms, on-time delivery, and responsive support throughout the rental period. A leading company will also provide maintenance services, ensuring that the trailers are in excellent condition and fit for use. This proactive approach helps businesses avoid downtime and ensures that their storage solutions are always ready when needed.

Comprehensive Inventory- Another feature of a top-tier storage rental company is a comprehensive inventory of trailers. This means offering a variety of sizes and features to suit different business needs. Whether a company requires a single trailer for a short-term project or multiple units for a long-term solution, a leading rental company will have the resources to accommodate. Having access to a diverse range of trailers also means that businesses can select units with specific features such as climate control, extra security measures, or reinforced construction, tailored to their industry requirements.

Local Expertise- Choosing a company with local expertise offers additional advantages. A rental company familiar with Phillipsburg's regulatory environment and logistical challenges will be better equipped to provide meaningful advice and strategic solutions. Whether it's navigating local zoning laws or optimizing delivery schedules, local expertise can make the rental process smoother and more efficient.

Maximizing the Use of 53-Foot Trailers

Strategic Placement- To get the most out of 53-foot storage trailers, businesses should strategically place them for maximum accessibility. For companies with multiple locations, having trailers situated at key points can significantly reduce transportation time and costs. This strategic placement ensures that inventory is always within reach when needed. Additionally, companies should consider using trailers as temporary staging areas for incoming or outgoing shipments. This minimizes congestion at main facilities and optimizes workflow, enabling smoother operations.

Regular Maintenance- Regular maintenance of storage trailers is essential to ensure their longevity and reliability. Businesses should work with rental companies that offer maintenance services and perform regular inspections. This preventive approach helps avoid unexpected issues that could disrupt operations. By keeping trailers in top condition, businesses can rely on them for years to come, making them a valuable part of their logistical infrastructure. Routine checks on tires, brakes, and security locks, as well as addressing any wear and tear, will help maintain their functionality.

Optimizing Storage Layout- To maximize space within the trailers, businesses should implement an organized storage layout. This includes using shelving systems, stacking items wisely, and labeling everything clearly. An efficient layout not only maximizes space but also makes it easier to locate items quickly. Using dividers and bins can help separate different types of inventory, reducing the risk of damage and ensuring that the most frequently accessed items are easy to reach. This organization can lead to improved inventory management and faster order fulfillment.

The Smart Choice for Storage Solutions in Phillipsburg

In conclusion, the advantages of using 53-foot storage trailer rentals Phillipsburg NJ cannot be overstated. These trailers offer Phillipsburg businesses a flexible, cost-effective, and secure way to manage their storage needs. From increasing operational efficiency to reducing costs and enhancing security, these trailers are a smart choice for any business seeking a competitive edge.

By choosing the right rental provider, businesses can leverage the benefits of these versatile trailers while gaining access to expert support and comprehensive services. Whether it's for short-term projects or long-term logistics strategies, 53-foot storage trailers are an invaluable resource.
