Oh my God, I-- let me get my thoughts together here!
Firstly, this was so intense and beautifully written. In the first part, you really conveyed Castiel's feelings of drifting, of not being competely aware of what had just transpired, of not being completely lucid. Priest!Cas is one of my favourite things, and you did it so well-- kept him Castiel, but also decidedly... not quite.
The second part has to be my favourite, though, no question about it. Dean was both charming and likable and-- well, the Dean that we all know and love, but it took no effort to imagine him with blood on his hands. The parts about the cards were very interesting, and although I understand why you might not continue, I think it'd be fascinating to see where that takes him next; whether he hangs around with Cas for a while, or goes on to the next card. Your Sam was perfect, and the set-up for that worked incredibly well for me. It was a strange mix of 'Dean-is-talking-to-a-dead-boy-in-his-mind' creepiness, and really believable affection between them. I always love those sorts of ideas because they make you start to question what's real and what's relative-- whether Sam was really there and Dean was right, or whether Dean was merely clinging to his memories and to his sanity (one by a rope and the other by a thread!)
And not to mention - on top of all of that - there was porn involved. Ugh, Jesus, God, thank you, bless you. *Moriarty nod*
I'm definitely reccing this every chance I get, and don't be surprised if you see comments from me in later years-- I'll definitely come back and read this again, as long as it's here! Thank you for this gorgeous piece!
