Welcome back, my dear. :D It's taking time to keep up with fic on my end and I'm sorry I didn't get it read when you posted it.

I really did enjoy it and thought it very interesting that Cas might have modeled himself after Dean. Very interesting, indeed.

The way you wrote Crowley, I could actually hear his voice! lol

Well done. :)

I love the insight that Cas has tried to model his decisions upon what Dean would do. I think it makes sense-good call!

Hey, I loved it. You gave me everything I wanted to see. Sam was appropriately broken and Dean was hurt, in a number of ways. And Bobby's trying to hold it all together. :-)

It was amazing how closely you predicted a lot of the events in the season premiere. Poor Dean always taking on the blame for everything that ever goes wrong but never admitting credit for any of the good./

Well, I thus far stayed about...98% unspoiled so I'm ready to find out what does happen, but I have to say I'm totally with you on Dean being beat to hell - I mean hitting that table like he did? Seriously.

Also, I like how you had them go out the way Sam came in. Whatever way THAT was. I like that you didn't explain it, either. LOL!

And I could totally see Cas emulating Dean as he was working to make his decisions. Didn't help him make the right ones, but from his perspective, he was doing the only thing he could to stop the bad guys and save the people/family he loved. Just...made the wrong choice overall.

I am glad you posted. Nicely done. :)

That was awesome! You captured the characters so thoroughly. I can easily see it going this way.

Yeah, I can see how Castiel did what he did from watching what Dean did but he sure is in a lot of deep trouble now.
