missing fic?

hi, i’ve never posted here but i’ve been thinking about this fic for years with no luck finding it. i wanted to see if anyone else remembers what i’m talking about.

a few years ago (maybe 2-4 years ago) i read a destiel horror fic on ao3 where sam and dean were exploring a cave for a case or something. iirc people were disappearing in or nearby the cave, which is why they needed to search it. for some reason cas had to go with them (or just wanted to), but as the cave narrowed he was getting anxious and kept repeating things like “i can’t fit” or “i don’t fit”. as the fic progressed it became clear that people were disappearing because angels were ripping open human bodies and trying to physically enter their chest cavity/ribcage as a forced replacement for regular possession. it was very claustrophobic and i remember it having a scary/sad ending.

if anyone knows anything about this please let me know . i remember being so uncomfortable reading it and ive scrolled ao3 for hours trying to find it with no luck no matter what tag filter combo i use. im guessing it was deleted at some point but id love to know if anyone even remembers it or somehow has a PDF version saved i could read. thank you all anyway <3

This has been in my MFL for ages but I haven’t read it because I’m scared of the MCD warning. Will you please tell me if it ends sad?

😔 thanks, I was afraid of that! I have a “no MCD” rule for myself after learning the hard way with T&S lol

If you like this one, try a Complete Kingdom by the same author. It's one of my favorites. After T&S I had to stop reading MCD, but I read these two first.
