Summary
It wasn't anything Corvo had done that had changed Daud's behaviour. It was just Daud being the only constant and sole source of variance in the endless cycles. Corvo's only reassurance that he hadn't gone completely mad in Coldridge and had been dreaming everything since.
Corvo has died many times since escaping Coldridge. He's tired of it.

Summary
"Well?" she snapped. There it was, proof. All the proof she'd collected over two months, all the risks she'd taken to find each and every piece of evidence all across the city, in safes and locked offices and guarded manors. All the proof that detailed the Lord Spymaster's plan, the arrival of the plague, the death running rampant in the poorer districts and attacking the rest of the city.
Proof of what had killed a third of their fences and half of their contacts in the poorer districts, of what had killed Bertram's sister and all her kids save one. Proof of what had killed Leonid, even if it hadn't been the plague to stop his heart.Death is running rampant in the poorer districts of Dunwall. Billie can't stand idly by.

Summary
In an alternate universe, only an angel died in the dungeon. In this world, Death reaped God. In this world, God's powers went to a nephil on the condition that the balance be re-established. In this world, the nephil used those powers to stabilize Heaven, and then he went back to his father.
When Jack brings him back, Castiel discovers that his parting words were misunderstood, and now Dean is avoiding him because of that. That's alright, though. He's just here to wait for his son, and any resolution he can have with Dean is just a bonus.
