Very nice. Well, torture isnt nice. The story was though. Definately glad im reading through your stuff so far.

Writing felt very heartfelt, I could tell you really enjoy this pairing just from that. Descriptive in the right amount in the right places. Didnt drag on with a description of every little cut and scratch, which can be a little off-putting to the tone of a story if its not already a pretty dark/grey fic already. Characters also really fealt like they cared for eachother.

Ooh I wish there were more

Poor Cas! Very nice job

Oh this is amazing! Please write more.. Great job! :) Love it

So I read this when you first posted it, and I read it again now, and I still like it, even though I have so little background in the fandom. I trust that everyone is in fine form, and it was moving that they would be willing to trade places for each other.

I like the realism of how people will seek out and try to destroy differences, no matter what they are.

Cheers!

This was a pretty good work overall. The desperation through Dean is well portrayed and the crossover was flawlessly portrayed. Is this an active crossovercommunity? Because the idea is ingenious; I could see both universes as one. The mood was rendered as well as I had hoped, and I really appreciated that you balance the torture element; torture porn is all too easy to fall into.

My one complaint, and I'm sorry that this is a harsh one, is that this didn't really do much for me to separate it from other works of a similar genre/type. It follows an archetype of fanfiction (a character making a sacrifice for someone they care about) but unlike Whatever This Is, it doesn't do much to stand out from that archetype, for me at least. It was well written, don't get me wrong, it's just that it just doesn't feel like I can link it to any particular author, like you. Again, I'm sorry but I still stand by my complaint. :/

Nevertheless, I do think you're a very good author and you can bet that I'll be reading more from you. :)

A chair to sit in. A glass to drink from. A chair to stand from. A glass to fill.

Ohmygod, Rosa, I love this. It's beautiful, and dark, and amazingly written. I love that you used 'Seraphs', and I'm still amused that you had the same idea I did.

Using an X-men!AU was very interesting. I actually never thought about that before, but it actually kind of fits.

"Maybe "nailed" wasn't exactly the correct term, since there seemed to be only one nail...alongside a horrifying assortment of broken glass, knives, scissors, and at least one scalpel."

I love this line. It puts such a graphic image in your head about horrifying Cas' torture is. And then the part where they actually drag Dean away from Cas after he pulls him from the cross brought me close to tears.

"Yet somehow, Cas couldn't blame Dean, for he knew that given the chance, he'd swap places with Dean again in a heartbeat. Less time than that, actually."

This line was just wonderful. It was a perfect and beautiful way to end this.

Thank you so much for writing this for me. I love it. It's a wonderful birthday present. -all the love-

I bet that Cass really appreciate this. Nicely done!

I'm not too familiar with the Supernatural or X-Men but this was pretty easy to read nonetheless. I liked the way that you set the scene and transitioned us into the story. I could really tell which characters were from which fandoms so I can't comment on any transitions then but I didn't detect anything that seemed rough.

Cheers!

"The dingy warehouse was filled with the a haze of dust, the sounds of cruel shouting, and the smells of human sweat and cigarette smoke."

Good use of senses.

"Maybe "nailed" wasn't exactly the correct term, since there seemed to be only one nail...alongside a horrifying assortment of broken glass, knives, scissors, and at least one scalpel. Blood oozed from a multitude of wounds, soaking his bedraggled feathers before dripping onto the floor."

Powerful graphic image.

"But if nothing else, he would have at least made more of them pay before being overpowered and subsequently forced to watch his best friend be tortured in horrific ways."

Something about "in horrific ways" just isn't as strong as the rest of this. Until this point, you've been doing a fantastic job with showing rather than telling, and your word choice has been excellent. I felt like I was in his mind and living through him until I got to "in horrific ways."

Great dialog. The final scenes were just as strong as the opening scenes. Very well written.

This is incredible. It is amazing how you can write a crossover AU and make it so good. I want to say I love it, but that would make me sound like some kind of sicko wouldn't it? But I do love your writing, and I love the characterizations, and I love the emotion that you evoke.

Yay! You posted and you figured out a title. Woo! As I said yesterday, I thought this was awesome! First off, the song lyrics were perfect and fit the story so well. And, I love Cas and Dean (well, what I know of them) in the world of mutants. And, it's really not too far off the mark when you think about it; very plausible. And, I love how Dean does his best to protect Cas. And, the last couple of scenes were so beautiful. This was awesome. I'm sure Cass will love this because I did. Thank you, darling. :)

Oh my gosh I loved this! Cas and Dean's friendship and loyalty to each other is amazingly sweet!

The whole transition from the Supernatural world to the X-Men world was very well obtained, Nice job!

I loved how Dean was trying to take the objects out gently, making sure to cause Cas as little pain as possible. :)

"he'd swap places with Dean again in a heartbeat. Less time than that, actually." that last line is so sweet!

I loved this story. You're amazing Rosa! :D
