A Saving Grace

At the end of Season 2, Ichabod suffered from some great losses for his family. When he visited his former beloved's grave for the last time, he succumbed to a severe brain fever. Since he was never answering her calls, Abbie decided to check on him, only to find him lifeless within Corbin's cabin. Jenny had decided to keep Gavin company and comfort him till Crane recovers. Meanwhile, his spirit was trapped somewhere in the underworld, being tortured by numerous demons, including those that closely resembled his fallen family members, Katrina and Jeremy Crane; though his weakened state couldn't make them out well. Then he was thrown near a massive wall of flames and the intense heat made him lose consciousness while it rapidly closed in on him.

Back on Earth, Abbie found Grace Dixon's journal and incanted a spell in which a soul can be saved from the brain fever, which as it turned out to be a remedy and a way to save a dying soul from incineration. Otherwise, his living existence would be forever lost. It worked, and for a moment Ichabod saw who appeared to be Grace/Abbie; since the latter was called "Grace" it'll mean one or the other. He ascended into the heavenly light and was revived.
When his friends reunited, he decided silently to head to Scotland, the homeland of his own distant bloodline. This was a foreshadowing of Season 3, and I always wondered what'll happen during the aftermath of Season 2. Hence the fic.
== Trivia ==
* This was of course a oneshot that takes place as the aftermath of the Season 2 finale, Tempus Fugit.
* It's unknown as to whether it was either Abbie or Grace who saved Ichabod from his brain fever; it can apply to either one. Especially since it's a sort of Ichabbie fic.
* The Hell sequence was roughly inspired by the dump incineration scene from Toy Story 3.
* Gavin played the PS3 game, Dante's Inferno, which'll be significant later on in another fic,
