I am read-faced at one thing you mentioned though, I don't know how, but I completely forgot about the angel bullets Crowley used in S8! Thank you for pointing it out and I will be sure to watch out for it in my current Summer Rewatch (I'm up to season 3 so far). That's the first discrepancy from show cannon that I've discovered, and if I had remembered it, I would have written it a bit differently (probably would have said that Crowley had shown him how to do it instead of Crowley having been surprised when Dean discovered it was possible.)
The part you mentioned when Dean soundproofed the dungeon... I'm SO GLAD you liked that! I must have written and re-written that scene a hundred times, (not literally, but a LOT, lol). I couldn't get it to "sound" right in my ears until I finally felt that the words they were speaking were genuine to the characters in the final draft. So really, thank you very much for sharing that! I work very hard to make sure conversations sound like those words would actually come from their respective characters. That particular instance was a tough one for me ensure that with, so it means a lot that you enjoyed it so much!
Regarding Castiel's moment with the angle-blade instruments, there were so many influences there, and you're right, the relationship between Dean and Castiel and the instances of torturous moments they share was definitely one of them. The other was Cas' temper! Which has been seen on numerous occasions, but especially the time he beat the crap out of Dean when he was planning on saying "yes" to Michael, and Dean said to Sam "Don't piss off the nerd angel."
Lastly, regarding Dean's call to Sam - yep, that blew up on Dean big time, lol. I wanted to get across though how much Dean was struggling between doing what his new demon nature wanted, and doing what was "right." The phone call mirrored that in that one side of the call was Dean reaching out to Sam's humanity for help to do the "right thing," the other side of the call brought evil back to him. No matter where Dean turns, he has to deal with both aspects of hero and villain, and he has to figure out how to balance the two - and still live with himself!
So again, thank you very much for the lovely comment! I hope you continue to enjoy "Demon Dean" because there's so much more to come! :))

Oh! I thought it was intentional! I can still see Crowley being surprised about Dean, though--so it's all good. I mean, when he was doing his thing in S8 Sam and Dean did have a bit more on their mind than whatever Crowley was doing. XD I actually can't even remember if Crowley showed that off to him, or if it was just Castiel who was privy to to that finding, the hard way. I can see Crowley being surprised by Dean figuring it out without assistance, though; especially since it took him quite some time. But that kind of DIY is totally in Dean's nature.
And I so know what you mean about tinkering with the dialogue/narrative, trying to get it to sound truly like the characters. IT'S A HARDSHIP, but also fun, and totally rewarding when it pays off! :D

And yes, I agree that making the characters truly sound like themselves is just a labor of TRUE LOVE! lol
Thanks again for stopping by and reading "Demon Dean." I look forward to being able to read yours some day! :))
