Summary: After his death at the hands of the Leviathan, Castiel is brought back to life yet again... only this time, he's finally going to get some answers.
Just... not any that he'd ever want to hear.

Two ellipses in a two sentence summary? Yeah, won't be reading this one.

One thing I love about the FD posts is all the little tips for what not to do with masterposts. By the time I get around to posting mine'll be perfectly crafted to make all the nonnies happy.

The summary does have some problems, as was said above, but I actually really enjoyed this.

SPOILERS

Basically, Chuck!God brings back Castiel and has a discussion with him about the nature of the universe, God's role in it, and all that sort of stuff. Eventually, God asks Castiel to end him. In the end, Castiel goes to Dean and tries, and fails, to convince him to kill him. The summary doesn't really do this justice; I thought it was executed really well, and the ending has a really cool sort of horror/not horror vibe to it. I'd recommend it.

I read this one because the other nonnie seemed to like it, and I agree, despite the lackluster summary. I didn't find it to be very horrific, just very sad, and a tragedy in a way that's true to SPN. I liked what she did here, with the characters of God/Chuck and Death, and Castiel felt pretty broken without necessarily woobie at the end.

All in all, I found this to be a very lovely punch in the face. I'll probably be reading this one again later.
