Oh oh oh.

You killed me and I loved every minute of it. The first part especially was just painful because of the implications, but all of this is full of so much marvelous hurts so good, and eeee.

I'm just going to bask a little and be a bit incoherent for a bit, don't mind me.

[vail_kagami]

Okay, I'll try not to disturbe you then. :P

Glad you liked it! (I didn't. Had this finsihed for a while but needed ages to get it into a vaguely presentable shape. You probably know the feeling - some stories just don't agree with you.)

[minviendha]

I'm sure I'll recover sometime soon. XD

And yes, I do know the feeling! Glad you posted it anyway - I enjoyed it. So there. ..:D

Love it, love it, love it! Especially the last few lines about the normalcy being so fragile and Sam's hands shaking while Dean lets himself play oblivious for awhile.

So glad you wrote this prompt ^_^

[vail_kagami]

I'm glad you liked it!
It was a very nice prompt. Couldn't let it go unfilled.

Oh, poor Sam! I love the idea that he would speak Enochian, and shudder at what that means. Good job!

[vail_kagami]

Thank you!
The Enochian thing just makes sense to me. I mean, I can't imagine Lucifer and Michael speaking English all the time, especually to each other. Why would they?

Heartbreaking, but gorgeous! I love that Castiel was the one to bring Sam the most comfort, as he relived the terrors of the Cage. Also, the whole scene in which Sam kneeled in submission, when Dean mentioned sex, was so chilling. Loved it!

[vail_kagami]

Thank you!
I very nearly cut the first scene out because it didn't seem to fit anywhere. I'm glad I left it in now.

Just a quick note on grammar before I go back and finish.

Neither of them was Dean. (Dean!) Neither of them was Bobby or Cas but they were all dead...

'Neither' indicates a choice of two. As you have many more bodies floating around the correct word is 'none' as in "None of them was Dean. (Dean!) None of them were Bobby or Cas..."

Cool imagery. Love it.

Going back to finish the rest of the story.

[vail_kagami]

Ah, thank you! I'll go fix it.

[etrix]

Hmmm, yum. Very atmospheric and haunting. Sam trying to communicate, knowing he's failing... Dean trying to understand but just not having the skills. And Bobby, trying to take care of them all.

Very enjoyable. =]

Thanks!
