Summary: Castiel looks for God. It is a tiresome and thankless task, and he is running out of time.
Review: For some reason I found myself today not really feeling the rec except for this podfic I'd heard six years ago that kept coming back to mind, that I did not have saved anymore, and did not know the title/author/reader of. Hence losing most of my evening to scouring the audiofic archive and then re-listening.
The story I especially remembered was the final Castiel POV installment, Angels We Have Heard, but together these are three linked gen character studies about Dean, Sam and Castiel back in the first half of season 5, with the common thread being Castiel's presence and the way the angel interacts with each brother the dynamic between them all.
The writing is beautiful, particularly in the third part, picking out details and observations about the characters and what drives them. The reading works perfectly for this story in particular, and there's a resonance there, in the telling, which I can't quite explain, but clearly stuck with me for 6 years nonetheless.
The podfic is available as one combined file under 'Gloria anthology' or as three individual files, and I've linked the original text as well.
