And A Prayer

Zachariah hadn’t spoken to Castiel since before Hamburg.  He had been chasing the trails of small time demons in the company of cherubs ill equipped to face them, and whose radiation of peace and joy just made him uneasy.  The last time he had seen Dean, almost a week ago, had been to fight.  Dean had shouted, accused, told him not ( Read more... )

I really love your style of writing. The way you chose your words is so clean and simple, yet you manage to be verbose where it's necessary. Writing like yours is something I strive for but I don't have that sort of prose. I'm two straightforward, I TELL you the picture, whereas you seem to paint it into pleasing shapes.

This was a gorgeous addition to your verse.

An answer bubbled up in Castiel’s throat, but the blasphemy of it choked him; ”I can’t help you.” The smoky voice growled, angered and feline, and he chewed on the words that he couldn’t quite say, until they fitted into shapes that his tongue and teeth could bear to make.

This is so beautiful and it describes it in such a way that you can feel every word.

*blushes*

Thank you so much :) I'm a very visceral person, everything takes up at least two or three senses, so I'm really glad that's coming across. I'm fascinated with the way that Castiel experiences the world. I'm so happy that you're enjoying it.

The verse is looking for a name, if you can think of anything :)

Well, you know I'm not familiar with the show, but this story was truly gorgeous. I love the gentle subtext underneath it all. Well done.

Thank you love. You know me and my subtext :) I can't wait for Torchwood to come back, to maybe try my hand at writing prose in the Torchwood fandom. I look forward to making more sense to you!

And Here I thought Six Card Spread was a one-shot! *happy dance* kira_bouviea June 18 2009, 05:38:50 UTC
Okay, first things first, cause I don't remember if I remembered to leave a review for Six Card Spread.

Basically all I had to say about that was: YOU ROCK OUT LOUD! Capslock totally necessary.

I'm gonna be printing out the whole of what you have written in this series to read on friday, when I will be stuck in a hospital waiting room. I'm gonna try to remember to come back and leave you a more coherent/practical review later on after I finish this latest installment. But If I do somehow forget. My review for Six Card Spread still stands.

Caps comments FTW!

Thank you, that's an awesome comment :D Good luck with your hospital visit on Friday, I hope it goes as well as mine did (I was in on Tuesday), and I look forward to your comments then :)

Thank you, I'm really glad you're enjoying the story. I'm familiar with the concept of otherness, and actually that's exactly what I want to create for Castiel, so that's a perfect compliment. My concept of othering is from Said via Pound with emphasis on Shklovskii, but it's been a few years since I did any serious work on it. These days it's more a way to see the world than a solid strategy for writing.

Oh, I ramble so much :)

You know, your style of writing is just a pleasure to read. Loving this little series 'go help the wold' that I stumbled upon. Gonna have to read more of your work after I finish with this.
