My heart is in pieces.

I'm in complete agreement. I believed in Gadreel since the beginning, despite the bad he did. He was only doing what he believed was right. The fandom hating on him tend to forget that he saved Sam despite all, and his primary motivation was to help. He wasn't obligated to listen to Dean's prayer, especially when he had to hide from other angels. And he revived Castiel too (who has much more innocent blood on his hands actually), risking his own well-being in the process. And in the end, he made the ultimate sacrifice to redeem himself, more importantly, to save humanity. It couldn't have been easy what he pulled; try to imagine being locked up for eons, then you're released, get locked up again, and destroy yourself despite freedom being your greatest desire. Gadreel had no chance to live free. A gentle, righteous soul, hated by even a supposedly merciful god.

Thank you for understanding, and writing this beautiful piece.

And, now I am dead.
