So sad! Poor Cas and Dean. Lovely drabble though.

Ooh, very chilling -- I like the way Castiel sees the bird as his sister. And it says a lot that he stays with Dean despite his urge to flee.

(You SPN drabblers are making me want to check this fandom out!)

Oh I'm glad it was chilling, as that was what I was aiming for. :) Thank you for reading and commenting, even though this isn't your fandom. :) (There is some really good stuff in this fandom, I'm certainly enjoying myself)

I think in the whole thing - and it's super powerful for a tiny word count - my favorite bit it the last phrase because we know that he forsakes Dean.

Why dead birds were not in last years season I'll never know?!

Love your mix of dialogue and prose.

Oh yes (though he doesn't see it that way ;)). Thank you so much for your help with it too. ♥

What happened to those birds was super freaky. The writers should have taken advantage of it immediately!

It's good to see certain people writing drabbles here. Yay!

Of course I know very little about this fandom, but the dead birds are such a sad, chilling image. And it's fascinating how Castiel relates so personally to them and fears the same fate. That's a very powerful last line, especially as Castiel seems to know this will all end badly.

LOL and here I thought I was being all secretive. ;)

Thank you for reading even though it's not a fandom you are into. ♥ I'm glad the themes get through even if you are not familiar with the characters. Poor Castiel makes a lot of tough choices and he doesn't always get rewarded for it.

it's the fandom love

We can never truly hide from it. ;) The BB is stalled right now unfortunately. I can't really bring myself to look at it at the moment.
