McLachland

Some thoughts that don't really fit in but I feel the need to mention: The depiction of heaven was so cruel, yet so believable. Being an angel stan I am usually one to forgive any and all of them for how they behave, but your idea of 're-education' is something that could absolutely be canon from the way the show plays it out. When it comes down to it 99% of them are just demons with wings and a nice package for the reason they are so horrible. And this didn't occur to me until the end of the fic, but the man in the hall before they go into Castiel's fishing dream, I was suddenly like "Oh god. He's still there." And while I am naturally overly sympathetic, I think it shows the quality of a writer if they can make the reader feel for someone who is not important to the overall story. It was such a small part, predictable even, like Castiel says, they were told there were people who'd wandered in accidentally and are stuck there forever, but it spoke so much of the real danger and endlessness of the place. The way it had the possibility to drive someone absolutely mad and they're just there, for eternity. A glimpse of horror that still leaves just enough to the imagination. It's a fucking terrifying thought and you painted it perfectly.

I can't say enough about this story. It's more than just a fanfiction, if this hadn't been Destiel, hell I'd have read it on its own. Congratulations and thank you for producing such a wonderful, amazing, perfect piece of work.
