Cool story. Interesting structure -- I admit I am a little confused about sequence/"reality" of events, but that's okay. It's thought-provoking. Liked very much your employment of Kali and Papa, and also Lucifer's trick. Thanks!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :) Apologies for any confusion!--I tried to indicate the two different time periods by use of past and present tense, but the whole thing is kind of gnarly, I suppose. So happy Kali and Papa and Lucifer worked for you, and thank you for commenting! :)
This was a very cool story with a very interesting concept. The back and forth in the timeline added a otherwordly dimension to everything and in a way higlighted Dean's confusion and tiredness. I also loved the voices of all the characters, Dean and Cas, of course, but the others as well. Lisa was splendid and Kali and Papa really fleshed out.
Hee, I derive far too much glee from writing the confusion and frustration of characters... I'm really glad you liked it, I had fun writing Dean and Cas and their interactions with the other characters. Thanks! ♥
EEEE I LOVED THIS. Much more powerful than the season 5 finale, in my mind. BOBBY. BOBBY IN HEAVEN. ♥ As much as I love Bobby, I was disappointed to see him as yet another example as to why death means nothing in SPN.
But this was just so creative. Cas. Cas sticking around the best he could. I don't ship D/C in the typical fandom sense, but I like reading about their ~profound bond, and you did a fabulous job portraying that. DEAN AND CASTIEL, BFF.
And Lisa! LISA. She is just so awesome, and you captured her so well, too. Her love for Dean, and also her understanding that she can't "keep" him, that she supports him no matter what he chooses to do.
AND VISITING JESS' GRAVE. I almost sniffled at that part. What did you do to me? This whole fic. ;_; *cuddles* But especially:
Looks down, and runs his hand over the top of Jess’s gravestone one last time. “Man, you and Sam,” Dean says, and quirks his mouth, and shakes his head. “You two. Totally in the same league.”
I had a very long, tiring day, so--thank you so much! your comment honestly made me smile and feel much better. ♥ /hugs
Yeah, I had mixed feelings about the end of S5. ngl, Bobby in heaven also depresses me because then I think of how alone each person is in their own heaven, caught forever in a loop--and now I shall shut up, because that is just plain depressing. ^^;
Haha, I don't ship D/C very well either. They are such terrible BFF but somehow they end up hanging out with each other anyway, and totally don't understand what's going on between them. UST \O/ I adore Lisa, she's so grounded and straightforward. And I wanted to bring Dean (and Cas) back around to where the series began, with Sam and Jess. I don't want to put Jess on a pedestal, but at the same time it's a representation of loss and just oh god they were so young. So the end here is also the beginning. :) It's an open one, but imagine that in the end they will reach a sort of peace. That is all I can hope for.
Ugh, it took me a while to read this b/c of the exams, work and all, but... I don't even know how to express what it made me feel. This is such a powerful piece of writing! The style is so gripping, it's like a flood, it made me want to reread certain parts over and over again. Such a vivid, vibrant picture! And the characterization is amazing. Not just Dean and Cas, but the supporting characters too. Every bit of interaction - simply gorgeous and very alive. I particularly loved seeing Claire again and the scene of visiting Jess' grave. Incredibly meaningful and powerful moments. <333 I saved this story to my reader, and smth tells me I'll be getting back to it. Everything - from the language (which is always flawless) to the alternating past/present bits - is perfect! <3
omg hi! ♥ ♥ ♥! Hope your exams aren't bogging you down too much--take care of yourself. /hugs
You are too kind. :DDD I'm so glad the characters all worked for you! I kept side-eyeing so many scenes in this and thinking to myself, what can I rewrite must rewrite can tweak that maybe? :P
it made me want to reread certain parts over and over again and I saved this story to my reader, and smth tells me I'll be getting back to it You make me squee with ridiculous glee, OMG. Thank you so much for reading this, dear, I'm so very glad you liked it! ♥
