That was honestly the most beautiful piece of fan fiction I have ever read. I'm a huge softie so I cry a lot, but this... this was just something else. I just read the whole thing in one go and am pretty speechless at the moment, so sorry for the lack of proper reviewing... I love, love, love how you managed to make Castiel's love story an unrequited tragedy and a romantic happy ending at the same time, because as much as I love stories that are all cotton candy and rainbows, this was way more fitting, way more credible, and way more satisfying on a literary level. (Look at me getting all sophisticated.)

I loved the whole thing (particularly the mad chasing scene with Gabe, who was awesome, btw XD), but the part that unceremoniously stole a huge chunk of my heart and made itself at home in the empty place was everything from the moment Cas realized it wasn't the real Dean popping the question. It was so heartbreaking that I pretty much bawled my eyes out until the sweet treat at the end of the epilogue.

Also loved the fact that even though it was basically a DeanxCas fic, it was so much about Cas and Sam's friendship because I always feel that part gets left out.

(On a side note, I probably got even more kicks out of this because my iTunes thought it very clever to play the Inception soundtrack while I was reading this. Fit fucking perfectly.)
