I've been neglecting you and I'm so sorry… toiling over the BB, which by turns is thrilling because it's a pretty epic and twisty-turny plot, and depressing because of my despondency over 6.22 and the thought this show could possibly be over for me by the time the damn BB posts. I'm pressing on while thinking it could be my last hurrah, because I don't know if I'll keep watching regularly if we don't get Cas back in season 7. So: woe is me.

But… I love this so damn much. Dean so totally alone, and it's really painful to read him having lost sight of his mission, and coming to the conclusion that what he does is meaningless and can never make a difference.

“Dean has cried a little by the time it's over, and Cas has whispered them through an empty prayer.”

That's so lovely, I think partly for the nod to the fact that Cas has lost sight of what kept him going too: the reference to “empty prayer” is so sad…

I'm not reading much since 6.22. Just really down about it, and no stomach for all this Godstiel non-con that seems to be everywhere. :-(

I wouldn't consider "toiling" over a long epic story I KNOW I'm going to drool over "neglecting." In fact I'd call it just the opposite. ;) (I really hope we do still get Cas and the show is not over for you, dear.)

Thank you for saying such lovely things about this little squiggle. (See? That's not neglecting me either.)

And yeah, I'm not really hip on the Gostiel non-con either. I suppose, done correctly, it could be really heartbreaking and dark and make some excellent points but it's SO far away from how I always viewed Cas' character that it's hard to reconcile with. He was always outspoken about freewill, which is why the finale was so wtf (engaging? yes. Posses of continuity? maybe not so much). Also, non-con is usually uncomfortable for me in general.
