Okay, so that was intense. Lots to think about. Having heard the pros and cons from all except Dean...I think the hardest thing to do was basically saying goodbye to his family. I do hope he will get to see them again, but I understand the sacrifice and I understand why he's doing it. Like Dean, I suppose, once a soldier, trained to follow orders, always a soldier. And he sees the bigger picture and he knows all the risks. It's a tough world out there.

Crap, what a stupid situation. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. This is so hard but I suppose he will accept the mission, otherwise there is no story, right? Damn.

LOVE it!
Brilliant writing. The story is so clear, the boys so in character!

Okay, this is different, but I like it. So Cole is in tune with big supernatural things happening. That's good right. And what is happening to the grace inside of him. I know when an angel loses his grace, it is slowly replenished but what happens to the small fragment inside of Cole...can that be replenished as well and then become more? I do hope there will be answers for me and Cole. Can just imagine how freaked out he must be in all of this. And to still think of his family on top of it.

oh wow! by now we all know where angels go when they die but I nver thought of it this way...that their grace basically don't just evaporate. I always thought it would go back to heaven but this was a good point that it disbursed over the earth. Are you going to show the memory of how Gabe's grace bonded to Cole? That would be interesting... and would cole remember it too? And what about all the candy and other activities Gabe was into...will it haunt Cole in his dreams?
So excited to read on.

Interesting concept...
Valid points that Sam were making...very valid actually...
Why is Dean not more open to this...
Anyhow, digging in now!
Love it so far!

Amazing memories. Sad, but not as painful as the ones before. I love how you planned that out. And I just adore the fact that Gabe saw Cas as a little brother and cared about him.
It was an interesting conversation Cole had with Cas before the grace drinking, somehow it all revolves around Cas. The way you had Cas mention his broken wings and the fact that Gabriel's should be intact made me just slightly hopeful that when Gabe does come back he could restore Cas and break the spell Metatron cast upon all the angels to make them fall.
Well, this concludes my binge. Now I gotta wait with the rest to read this awesome story. Can't wait to see what you do with it next.

That was amazing. Made me relaxed too. I lived the comparison Dean gave with Cas and Gabe, and found it hilarious that Cole was craving ice cream. Cole is different with Cas, he is vary and maybe a bit freaked out, but when Cas is near he seems a little less tense. That is interesting.
I loved this chapter.

That was amazing. Poor Cole having to experience that, like reliving Gabriel's death and the emotions of hurt and betrayal he felt when Lucifer killed him. Hopefully that was the worst of it, considering it was the place of his ultimate demise. I was hoping we got the whole Gabe eventually and it would be nice if we didn't loose Cole in the process, they could share the vessel. Great work, truly. This is one aWesome story.

Damn, that had me crying twice, with Claire and then with Cole's family. That was really deep and painful, and brilliantly written. Even Cole knew he was going to say yes to this eventually, cuz he is a soldier who was given an opportunity to go on a world saving mission. But still it was a good process of how he can yo terms of accepting his mission here. Brilliant. Truly!

Oh, I soooo hoped it would be the case. Have Gabriel come back. Oh, be still my weak heart.
I know Cole will do the right thing here.

This was awesome, really. Looking at the boys from Cole's perspective was really interesting. The subtle teases over Cas for Dean, the small inside jokes Cole didn't quite get, the way he saw Cas as a figure of authority and then as just one of the guys, if not a bit neardy. Brilliant. He saw them for the good acters that they are, going from Interpol agents to drunks that wanted to play pool and win some cash. Amazing. Excellent job on this!

That was awesome. Of course they would use a fake authority to call him in. Season 11, huh? Oh, boy... This should be interesting.

Omg, that was sooo funny. If he had angel grace shouldn't he be more religious, go to church, pray? And here I am thinking if he has Gabriel's grace shouldn't he be stuffing himself with cake and candy and lollipops and crashing strip bars (Porn, stars. they were porn stars, Sam). Lmao.
Cole whole thing pretty well, all things considered, but I kinda thought he would, he just said ok, that's real, now I am not gonna think about it at all. Just gonna ignore it. (Like that was ever an option)
I am getting super excited about reading this, I wish I could just binge all 9 chapters.

Oh, I loooove where this is going, especially being a Gabriel girl and the mere mention of his name, plus the possibility you are implying here... Oh, I am soooo excited about this story...
