[shyriann.livejournal.com]

Title:   The Seven Virtues of Lisa Braeden
Rating:  R (swearing, sexual content)
Characters:  Dean/Lisa, Castiel
Length: 5500 words
Spoilers:  General through season 5, heavy for 5.22
Summary:  Coda for 5.22.  Castiel watches from between heaven and earth, checking in periodically on Dean.
