OMG. Can I has both? XD (For future reference, there's nothing I don't ship. I'm an omni-shipper, I'll always find some justification. :P)
= Castiel/Adam = 1. When or if I started shipping them: I read a story once that Castiel recognised the tragedy that Adam's life had become with each turn worse than the last, was motivated by his Father's compassion, and rescued Adam from the cage. Unless I imagined the whole thing?
2. What I think their challenge is: Adam harbours a lot of resentment towards his brothers and his Dad for not telling him the truth, him getting eaten alive for it, and the fact that the fun didn't stop there. I think, as a result, he and Dean would butt heads a lot and Adam would potentially try to leave, which would test Castiel's loyalties. There's no getting around the fact Castiel is who he is today because of Dean, and that could be more fuel to the fodder of Adam's resentment.
3. What makes me happy about them: This combo strikes me as a saving grace, it could be very sweet and I think there would be a very real chance that Castiel's angelic otherness could save Adam from twisting into something dark and destructive.
4. What makes me sad about them: If it isn't sweet, it could be a very bitter, jealous thing that could destroy them both. And that would honestly be devastating.
5. What moment I wish had never happened: I'm frustrated the show ever thought it needed to jump the shark and bring Adam in, in the first place, because he became a scapegoat for every bad thing and he's going to rot in that cage; it's unbelievably unfair and is the primary reason I started writing Adam in the first place.
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: I really, really like Michael/Adam. Like, really. If not Michael, Adam should have his brothers -- not one, but both. It's all or nothing with the Winchesters. Castiel could end up with Dean, because they're effectively canon.
7. My happily ever after for them: Adam gets to go to Heaven AND STAY THERE, WITH BARS ON ALL THE ENTRANCES SO NOBODY BUT IMMEDIATE FAMILY AND CASTIEL CAN ENTER. Seriously. Leave the poor kid alone. Before he goes to Heaven, Adam could be resurrected on Earth and try his hand at hunting, and perhaps decide he wants to become a doctor after all. He'd probably end up as a trauma surgeon with the armed services because I'd be really impressed if he could sit still through the mundane gossip, intrigues and white-wall culture of a hospital after everything he'd seen. Castiel would be his angel hovering out of sight, still in Heaven, but visiting Adam in the quiet moments when he was needed most.
