Wow! I gotta tell you, when I saw the pairing, I was a little hesitant, but I loved your title so I kept reading and am I ever glad I did!

I really enjoyed that! More than I should as a Dean/Cas shipper [don't tell anyone or they'll take away my membership card for sure!]

I felt so sorry for Cas. and when Gabriel asked if it had been a rescue or a kidnapping? Brilliant.

This was so great.

Ouch! That was touching but brutal!

Lucifer discovers that he is not a fan of shrimp. After taking one bite, Castiel finds Lucifer muttering something about getting rid of them all.

Well, that explains the oil spill...

This was so sad! Poor Castiel, he can't know what's going on without it hurting him so deeply, but he can't afford to be blissfully ignorant either.

I liked Gabriel asking whether they'd rescued him or kidnapped him. Winchesters would never ask that question, they're so certain that what they're doing is the right thing to do.

The ending was so wistful...

Excellent story ♥

This is excellent. You write Castiel VERY well. His manner of thinking and reacting, the way he considers what to say, the choices he makes...everything is just as he would do it. Castiel and Lucifer's relationship is tender and passionate, and somehow both are kept in character. This fic is a rare find, so thanks sincerely for writing it.

You had me sold at the summary. the rest was just icing on top. I like how Castiel retains his voice even while amnestic. I think the Castiel in this story suits canon well--how he is sort of impatient when it comes to the boys, and it seems no matter what end they reach once this apocalypse business is all done and over with, he's not going to be completely happy. Thanks for writing this. : )
