This is beautiful and so very tragic... I love it

Thank you! :)

Don't apologize. This a wonderful piece.
“Impossible,” he croaks. “It’s not my place. You’ve killed thousands. You’ve tortured. You broke Heaven apart and set evil upon the world.”

I love that piece of dialogue because although it applies to Lucifer we know it is Castiel's own guilt.

Why thank you!

I'm all about the double meanings.(Guy Gavriel Kay taught me that. :P)

Castiel's Hallucifer

Lovely. And all about love. Castiel is correct that he can't forgive Lucifer on behalf of anyone but himself, but that's not what Lucifer said he needed to do. But forgiving Lucifer, as Castiel immediately recognizes, is not the problem.

Castiel's Hallucifer might say just these things. I don't know whether he's worse than Sam's, but he knows different things.

I would love to watch Misha and Marksha play together some more. But if we don't get that, this story will be a partial consolation.

Okay, 1) Hallucifer.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA yes.

Thank you dear! You always say the sweetest things.

Argh. So tragic. Beautifully done

[proxydialogue]

Again my love, sorry for the delay. Someday I will learn to be an adult and take care of these things as they arise.

Thank you! As always. :)

“How can you forgive yourself?” he agrees. “Hell if I know.”
-Wow, just... wow. No apologies, this was amazing, heart breaking, and an excellent character study of Castiel.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
