And worst and most gloriously of all, he didn't care as the loosening of the fabric around his neck, the unbuttoning of a bloodied shirt, then the divestment of all the attire of James Novak merged with his reverence for the most terrible commandments.

I loved this. And Cavafy's poem at the end was most fitting!

I'm in love with the cosmology and the imagery in this-and if I was able to fixate on other things, I'd probably be in love with your castiel, too. He's so otherworldly in this, so much like season four Cas that it almost hurts to read about it. There's so much going on in the space between the words, I'm probably going to have to read again to catch all I missed. Some lovely turns of phrase, too-it's hard to find something this lyrical and this long.

Anyway, I loved it; A++ would read again.

You have no idea how wonderful it is to know that someone is reading this story. Thank you for the comment. I love knowing that the cosmology here worked for you. :D

This fic took so long to write I'm so very very gratified to know that you enjoyed it. The most difficult thing about the cosmology was actually providing a way for Castiel to get out (and so I can end the story...)

I have to confess that that quote is almost a direct paraphrase-summary of the last chapter of The Man Who Was Thursday by Chesterton who did end up coalescing the point of Castiel's descent into Hell where he has to learn the difference between Good and Evil for himself and choose.

NO ONE EXPECTS THE ANGELIC INQUISITION. Ahem. ;D
I couldn't resist :p The angels were really rather amoral...
