I really like this twist on the original. It's always interesting to look at the Winchesters from outside and the show (for obvious reasons) doesn't give a lot of chances to do that. I really like the character voices and how you shaped the narrative around the original. Lovely work.

Thank you so much!

I like how Chuck provides a framework for the original story, but that's not his only function. He has his own destiny that's pressing him down, and his own relationship to Castiel, and calling Castiel on the comforting lies he told Dean. I like Chuck's voice, and the mixture of feistiness along with the despair. Oy, poor Chuck.

I really enjoyed this!

First off...the POV switch is genius. I mean, POV switch is a normal way to remix, so, yeah. Castiel would be the pick, right? The expected pick. But you didn't do a POV switch...you did a, hmmm...POV insertion! Yes. And it's brilliant!

Chuck decided to give it a shot. He didn't think he'd be able to pull a fast one over the warriors of God, but he figured it couldn't hurt to try.

He sprang for a bottle of Jameson's. This wasn't the kind of job you sat down to do with cheap gin in a plastic jug.

I love the initial fake-out here. It *seems* like Chuck is trying to sneak in a chapter of his own design. Maybe not producing a heavenly vision so much as trying to help the boys out and writing the world as he'd like it. But then, eep!

Angels were creepy motherfuckers.

Sometimes when I hear a great line on the show, or read one in a story, I instantly want an icon with that text. This is one of those times.

Eeee, thank you so much! I'm so happy (and relieved!) that you liked it. I knew as soon as I read through your stories this was the one I wanted to play with, but I was a little worried because I didn't really want to change anything about the original story. I like it far too much the way it is. So I tried for a different tactic. I'm glad it worked. :)

I thought this was an AWESOME take on Chuck, the creepiness of Castiel, and s4. Great job.
