Awesome! I love how this goes from dark and depressing to sweet and hopeful! Just wonderful!

Thank you so much! Yes, I wanted it to end on a somewhat happy note for them, so I am so pleased it worked for you!

Thanks for reading. :)

You already know how much I love this, but it's worth saying again because this is just...beautiful. That beginning, putting Castiel into the context of existence is just wonderful. It's so powerful, showing that throughout everything Castiel has had faith, but now, after all these years, he's doubting it.

I really felt his sadness at feeling useless, at not understanding why Dean's reacting the way he is. For someone so powereful to feel so useless...so sad.

I loved this:

He’d returned several hours later, still grappling with the sensation of letting Dean down (it felt like watching stars die and fall from the sky,)

I love this analogy-Castiel’s trying to put these knew feelings in the context of what he knows, and you describe this beautifully.

Dean finally deciding to convey what he needs through actions rather than words is so lovely, and so very Dean too.
“You stupid son of a bitch,” Dean whispers, lips pressing soft to the skin of Castiel’s neck. Castiel’s eyes flutter shut again and he leans away slightly, allowing

You have no idea how happy I am that you enjoyed it - I am just beaming over here. BEAMING.

I love it when fics set some sort of timeline of what he's seen and experienced, and I really wanted to try that here - however briefly. I'm so glad it worked for you.

Yes! It was hard for me to do for him - I mean, I have nothing to draw from when it comes to how an angel might perceive these things - and I was concerned that it might've fallen flat.

I can really see, if that makes any sense
It does! And I'm so glad!

God, you are so welcome, darling! It was so much fun to write, and I can't say enough how happy I am that you liked it! Thanks for such a fun prompt.

Nah, Dean, talk to Sam and don't kill him! He's so considerate towards you! ;) ;)

Okay, seriously, this whole fic? Awesome. And since I started with that, let me tell you that your Sam was so made of win I can't even say. From being the only sort-of-understanding one in the beginning to leaving them time alone to the bandages, awww. Go Sam, you win all the way. ;)

And that said omg, I loved your Castiel voice, it was just spot on and I loved his reactions to everything. And I was seriously awwww-ing at him for a good part of this (and wanting to kick Dean in the meanwhile until I got it, and awww at him too). That scene with Zachariah & co. was great and yay for badass!Castiel saving the day like that and realizing his feelings, AWW again. And that scene where they finally got together was just so perfect. And so sweet. And I was awwww-ing like crazy in there too, especially

It is no secret that Dean is a physical being - he has little time for words. After a lifetime of being fed lies, of speaking them himself, Dean has come to

*BLUUUSH*

Sweetie, this comment totally just made my day; just so you know.

And since I started with that, let me tell you that your Sam was so made of win I can't even say.
Ha! Thank you! He was super fun to write this time around; I never really have fun with him, but I wanted to this time. He is such a good little brother when he wants to be, and I can see him being so supportive of Dean, in his awkward way, you know? I'm glad you liked him!

And that said omg, I loved your Castiel voice, it was just spot on and I loved his reactions to everything.
OMG THANK YOU! I was SO. FUCKING. WORRIED. about it. It's not an easy voice for me to write - sometimes I feel too formal, others not formal enough - and it is such a relief that it seems to have worked out okay.

Thanks, bb! <3333

HAWT! And sweet. I love it!

[catoasapun]

I'm SO glad you liked it! I rarely do HAWT, so this makes me grin so hard. XD

Thanks for reading, hon! ♥
