Nicely done and things would have been alot of simpler if Raphael agreed with Castiel.

Lol, don't get you and me both into that conversation pal. I know for a fact I can rant for a considerable amount of time on how I wished the angels were like. ;) Great story!

I love this whole series, but I really like your take on Raphael here. It's nice to see portrayed as sensible/reasonable

I'd be interested to see what Raphael's reaction would be to Gabriel's death (just curious, have you considered bringing him back?) Actually I'd love to see the Archangels of Supernatural reunite for a short time and their reactions to each other and how things have changed. Just an idea if you want to use (goodness knows I won't). I'm happy Raphael is being reasonable and now Cas has his own version of Adam!
