Author: ratherastory
Recipient: chiiyo86
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Religious subject matter (i.e. very loose interpretations of Judeo-Christian scripture). Show-levels of violence. Major character death.
Author’s Notes: chiiyo86 asked for an AU in which Cas is an assassin and Dean (and possibly Sam too) is a cop. This is as close as I got

This is powerfully re-imagined and believable. I am very impressed by the way you utilized well-known characters in this.

Thank you so much! I had a hell of a time coming up with a satisfactory response to the prompts, so I'm really glad it worked out. :)

Oh my goodness. This was absolutely AMAZING. So well-written it makes my head spin. The pacing, the characterization, the FBI stuff, the Sam&Dean in synchronicity stuff, the backstory about John and the car crash, all the lovely aaaaangst, Sam all mother-henning and Dean all migrained -- agh, there is no way I could have loved this more!!!!

The ending is so sad and powerful and open-ended... perhaps when you uncloak, you will favor us with a sequel? *bats eyes*

Okay, had to share with you -- this fic was literally the first thing I looked at after waking up, and afterwards I wandered out into the kitchen in a daze and encountered my roommate, who is most definitely NOT part of fandom -- and I was so wrapped up in thinking of this that I tried to REC IT TO HER, internet-style. I was like, "Oh my god, I just read such an awesome FBI AU, you have to --" then I stopped and got really concerned with the coffeemaker and she was like, "Are you hungover?" LOLOLOLOL

Also, this made me laugh and laugh and laugh when I first read it. I can't even tell you. :D

Oh, i love this. Taking everything familiar and loved about the boys and fitting them neatly into this new world and new story. Castiel/Jimmy was frightening in his implacability, and Dean so caught up in his own guilt and grief....

Lovely stuff.

Thank you so much! It's one of my favourite hobbies, to weave canon in and out of AU and see if I can still make it work. ;)

[jenilees]

That was incredible!
Well written, great characterisations and I love how you wove spn into this au but kept it familiar,so it was comfortable and easy to fall right into the story and feel like you always knew these characters and their lives.
Wonderfully done.

[ratherastory]

Thank you! I am so glad to hear that I succeeded at what I was trying to do. :)

Oh wow, really vivid prose and the characterizations felt spot on.
