:D :D :D :D
Yessssssss! Finally, their happy ending.
I have to say, I'm not usually a fan of AUs like this, but something about this story drew me in at the original, and I'm so glad I stuck around and read through it, because it's turned out magnificent. I love the world-building and the richness of it all, the way you explained everything without making it all about that.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeee, I'm glad that you liked it~ :D I was sort of uncertain about the AU because I've never written anything like it, so you and me both can be pretty happy with it turning out well.

What a coincidence! Wings and mating and stilted, awkward!Cas and porn and Sassy are some of my favorite things too! :D Thank you~

Oh that was just spectacular. I love how you wove the colour of Cas's wings into the mating ritual.
Just a lovely slow build as they got to know each other. And such an unexpected oasis from the loneliness they both felt, first with friendship and then with this beautiful mating.
Wonderful story!

oh my GOD this is one of the best things I've read lately. I adore Sassy fic and the way you write it and how their relationship progresses from just Sam wanting to get Dean back to Sam wanting to get Dean back and wanting Castiel... gorgeous.

And then the whole Dean/Gabriel thing? Yes, please. I love it.

I'm glad! It's a progression I'm pretty happy with, too! :D

Oooh ooh, wait, so you're a Dean/Gabriel shipper? If so, tell me about it because I wasn't able to really find one while writing this and I wasn't sure about how it went.

Ack I haven't actually read very many Dean/Gabriel fics because it's such an underrated ship and I haven't been able to find many good ones since I'm somewhat picky about what I read but imho this was pretty spot on. I loved the simplicity of their relationship, the way they acted around each other. How Gabriel just wanted Dean to be happy killed me inside.

(Also I just reread it and "Consorts are special. The gamble is not so great for a consort. Angels do not stray." was such a beautiful line. I love it.)

I think that Gabe and Dean would make good companions in personality, but I ... erm, I don't really have many feels beyond that. So I'm glad that simple relationship worked for you! Angel!gabriel is complicated tho...

I do love that line, too. I think my favorite idea is the way the wings make Sam feel. The privacy curtain of black wings that draw Sam's focus in on Castiel alone -- blocking out all else -- while the golden wings are like having the light shine on him, revealing every secret, allowing for total openness. *siiiiiigh* Wings give me feels.
