I always feel sorry for Cass and his Home but not Home . Damn guy needs a room on the show. thanks.

loved this!how about a part 3? All of them doing something

You're a much more compassionate soul that I am-my solution to how Sam acted toward Castiel this season was to play a lively game of Whack-a-Mole with baseball bats and Sam's head as the mole.

Okay, well, you made me cry again (which really sucks when you're taking your lunch break and other people are around and you just mutter "nothing's wrong, honest" and wave at your Surface as if that explains everything! But I digress...). This was just so beautiful and heartbreaking. I love how you portrayed Sam, how Cas's behavior basically lead Sam's thoughts to not only empathy but the realization that Cas is family and Sam hasn't treated him as such; really self-discovery for Sammy-boy. And Sam's commitment to do better, to make Cas see that he is indeed family. And I loved how you had Sam thank Cas for what's he's done (has that ever even happened on the show?). The cracks and crumbling plaster in Cas's bunker-head were brilliant, giving Sam a visual cue as to if he was getting through to the angel or not. And Sam actually fighting for Cas, same as he would for Dean; again something else it would be great if the series actually showed us!

This was just an all-around beautifully done fix-it piece that was just so much more satisfying than anything the show actually gave us. Thank you so much for sharing!

Love it! I love the explanation for Cas's frankly odd lack of emotion, even for him. And it was nice to see Sam and Cas be friends. The show suddenly had Sam proclaiming Cas family, and yet I never felt we got to see the two actually develop that. And they'd be awesome friends, too. Great job, loved it! Thanks for posting for us :)

Loved this! Poor Cas! I was hoping for a third chapter for more of Dean's reaction, but still I enjoyed this!

I kinda need more Dean reaction, but this is good!

I'm rereading this, and I have yet again realized I want at least one more chapter of it xD

Sam the MAN! That's my big moose boy!

This is wonderful! I love it!

I wish they would have an episode like this. Chuck knows poor Cas needs it! Hopefully we'll get a long-overdue feels fest in these last episodes of 11. This was awesome. I love how you chose Sam to talk him out, especially the part about Cas's room. These guys need more on screen interaction, and I think you portray it very well in all your stories.

Phenomenal work. Jesus, this was perfect. It makes me so happy to have Sam doing what Sam does best with Cas. And you addressed everything everyone's been buzzing about with this upcoming resolution we're all waiting for, and then some. I love your Sam (especially him interacting with Cas), and hope to see more of him in whatever works you do in the future~

Gaaaaaaaaah why do you do this to my heart? :') You, more than anyone I've ever met, are so good at taking our emotions in every possible direction! You have such a talent for writing deeply meaningful and heartfelt stories that take the characters as low as possible only to bring them back up again and fix everything that we want to see fixed, and I love it! Thanks for writing this. It was beautiful to see Sam just sitting there and being with Cas, who really needed a best friend more than anything. And I'm glad Dean was taking care of them behind the scenes, and oh my gosh when Cas had that thought about how they'd never really just TALKED unless it was about the mission, it was just so heartbreaking! But everything will be okay now. :) Or at least get better until the next adventure comes along! Beautiful story!

Get through to him! Please, please get through to him. It's so heartbreaking to witness this, from someone so amazing as Cas, being just so ready to call it quits. Bless Sam for finally figuring out what Cas really needs :(
Also, I really enjoy the possible solution to Amara that you posited! Not to mention why Cas was just acting so... so... out of it. That can't just be him, Lucifer must have done SOMETHING for him to be all shrug whatever.

Is this is? This can't be it! I know this started out as a Sam and Cas fic but I need some Dean too! Please tell me that this isn't the end!

Okay, first of all, thanks for making me cry, dangit! But seriously, this has got to be one of the most beautiful stories I have read in a long time. I always like finding Sam/Cas friendship stories, because I do feel that the two have a lot in common, and would make really awesome friends if we got to see more of that in the show. I don't even really know where to start with this, but gah…the whole conversation between them. When Sam realized how Cas really felt and why he did, and Cas' fear and reluctance to go back, because he was scared it would just be the same as before... *Dies*. You have really been killing my feels lately, and I can't say I am unhappy about it! Thanks so much for writing this, it's definitely a new favorite :)
