The Destiel shipper within me woke up after a look sleep, and when I came upon this (after being heartbroken by "The Hardest Part), for the first time in a probably a decade I stayed up until four in the morning to power through reading. Thank you for sharing your writing.

That's the perfect ending if you asked me. And thank you so much for sharing this story.

I really hope that Dean could change Cas or they're both doomed.

Sound interesting.

That was nice.

This is a truly wonderful work. Dean was extremely well written, and the whole thing was heart-wrenching. I'm so glad you have it a happy ending without just having Cas automatically better like saving a disney princess. It is also horrible to see the contrast between Cas in the prequel to this story and the damaged Cas from this story. There was at least one scene in every single chapter that touched me to the point where it was painful to read. Fantastic job.

This story was amazing, and very original. I loved every second of it!

Love this ending!

This was so sweet! Perfect! I love how Dean never gives up on him, that's so romantic. This was just perfect, the perfect Destiel fanfic. We'll done!

This story was amazing! I loved the use of angst and emotion and how you didn't rush into anything or suddenly have Castiel revert to his 'normal' self. This was incredibly well-written and I loved it!

loved it

Well Cas and Dean got the happy ending they deserved, even if Cas had to go through hell and Dean had to go back and save him. Sam and Jess finally got to be together and happy too. ( sorry for not reviewin on the other chapters but I had to know what happened next , couldn't take the time to stop and comment)

Its very rare that I across a book that makes a special place in my heart, but this story did just that. The pain that you made Dean go through, and Cas (even if at times he didnt want to admit it) was something that I felt while I read. It was emotional to read, but Im not complaining!

I have to admit, I was apprehensive about the ending (I was hoping it wouldn't be 'they get to their destination and all was forgotten) but the ending was perfect. I do have to say I wish I could know exactly what God said to Cas but that is their secret!

This story is very well written, (only caught one spelling error!) and I thank you for letting it come out and letting me in on their story! Cant wait to read more from you!

Alrighty. So I read this story a few days ago and i think i left one or two small reviews early on, but really, this deserved an actual review it was just a matter of me making it to my computer instead of attempting to type something out on my phone which is what I was reading it off of.
So on to the review!

I have to say, I absolutely loved the easy progression of this piece. You didnt rush the story just so that you could reach your happy ending. You didnt push the relationship or the memories or the realizations. Everything came in its own good time which was absolutely fantastic.

While I hope we never have to see a demon Cas in the show, your depiction of him was stunning. I could actually believe that it would have taken that long for him to break. That for hundreds of years he would have held out, hoping, praying that Dean would reach him one way or another.

For Cas, I think one of the most upsetting parts was when you had him look in the mirror. It was so painful... like giving someone a safety line than tearing it out of their grip. He was so lost, so broken down to his base elements that all he had left to do was to build himself back up again with what was left over. And it hurt. Every moment was like pulling feathers. But it worked brilliantly.

For Dean... poor Dean. I love that even in the calming pressure of Heaven he still felt that something was off. That without Cas, nothing was ever going to be just right. I love that he never gave up on Cas. That he accepted what he was without a second thought. Without even a first thought really. I got the feeling that even if Cas had decided not to go the rout of redemption Dean would have still stayed with him, even if it dragged him back to hell. (ignoring of course that Michael promised him heaven)And i loved that. Despite the clear devotion in Dean however you never sacrificed the gruff exterior that he holds on to as a hunter.

Now to the "happy ending". Literally... I could not be more pleased with the path you chose to follow to the end. I think my favorite line was "I hate angels, Dean. I hate them, and I'm supposed to be one of them, and I…I miss the screams from the souls, but at the same time now, I can remember some of their faces, the looks in their eyes…"

The fact that Cas admitted, outright admitted that he missed the screams, the bitter sound of pain caused by his own hands... its like a whole new depth of character. Just because he made it to heaven didnt mean he was suddenly fixed, suddenly reverted to his previous self as if the hundreds of years had been nothing more than a dream. It would have undermined everything he'd gone through if suddenly Cas was happy to be there.

So for that, Bravo! Not every author is brave enough to stick it out through the less than savoury bits of a character's resulting personality after tragedy.

You should be very proud of your work! This was a spectacular story and a truly original take on two beloved characters.

You are ridiculously talented. This is one hell of a plot.
