That was me! In fact, I'm pretty sure that if it gets mentioned, it's by me, 99% of the time. :)

Like I said, the characterization didn't work for me, but I also didn't notice it to the same extent as others. I'm not sure if I'm going to say what I mean, here, but long, D/C AUs written AUs with certain prose styles (this is where I'm going to fail to say what I mean, because I'm not sure how to categorize them) tend to signal "this ain't the real Cas" to me.

I didn't like John, either.

The last chapter was all Dean and Sam starting to reconcile, and also to reconcile a little bit with John (or their memories of him). It wasn't bad stuff, but the pacing was off. It's just one of the many reasons I wanted this story to be about Dean and Sam coming home and reconciling even as Dean starts dating Mothman!Castiel.

I could've handled Dean and Sam not being close; they were estranged pre-series in canon. It was things like Sam only communicating with Dean through his secretary and not showing up for a scheduled dinner (or giving Dean an adequate head's up) that bothered me. Like, it wasn't just that they weren't close. It was that Sam was a meanie jerk-face who was the sole reason that they weren't close.

I really enjoyed some part of the fic (like the voices on the radio, before they understand who's talking), but I don't think I'd rec based on the characterization.
