Via novin_ha's rec; HI.

Whoa, was that damn good. Hot and kind of disturbing on a principle, but in a good way. I absolutely loved the way both Ruby and Castiel tried attributing their faults to their, uh, human bodies -- but it doesn't work like that, does it? Also it's very refreshing to see the rather old cliché of an angel/demon relationship done really well, without unnecessary angst and overweighting the sacrum and profanum in one's favour (I want to break things whenever the same old "but really, the demon is good and the angel is kinda sorta bad!" platitudes come up, and hello SPN, I see what you're trying to do thar).

Really, truly, madly and deeply enjoyed this.

[girlupnorth]

In my head, the human bodies do have some influence over the way they behave - there's Ruby's need to eat and sleep, for instance - but you're right, mostly they serve as a not-all-that-clever excuse.

Thanks for the comment, I'm very happy that you enjoyed the story :)

(Also, yay, a Lucifer icon! Is it from The Morningstar Option, or the series proper?)

[beardsley]

I think I may be doubly enjoying it because you've managed to both pull it off so well, but also pull it off full stop -- a lot of time in fanfiction supernatural beings are either too human or not human enough, which either makes it completely pastede on, or else makes the motivations believable, so. Your Ruby and Castiel are very much not human, but at the same time they are (the excuses and the unconsciously self-destructive behaviour makes them even more so), and that's really awesome.

You're welcome, I'm sure I'm even more glad that I was pointed in the direction of a really bloody good SPN fic. Which, okay. Rare. At best.

(I... honestly couldn't tell you! I've read the comic and the extras and the spinoffs and whatnot in these odd fits where I was swallowing twenty issues at a time, but I think it's from the main series. Sorry for being terribly unhelpful!)

Wooow, Girl. Dałaś czadu, naprawdę. o_O Napisać tak zajebistego fika do Spna ze świetną, znakomicie napisaną postacią kobiecą, no no <333 I tak świetnie zarysowałaś relację (bez skojarzeń, ofc) pomiędzy Castielem i Urielem, omg. I to, że Ruby pracowała równocześnie na swoją korzyść i niekorzyść, bo a) Castiel jej nie zabije b) gdy wszystko pójdzie po myśli aniołów, Ruby trafi z powrotem do piekła i tam Lilith jej pięknie podziękuje :P Nie zazdroszczę, naprawdę.

I było spanking!!! Jak kazał jej się odwrócić to się serio przestraszyłam co on jej zrobi za dużo ostrej wampirzej pornografii, trufax.

Świeeetnie zarysowana psychika, fajna plot, no i porn!!! Gratuluję! ♥ :D

It only took two thousand years for the humans to forget what could be expected of angels; the demons would probably remember even if it had been ten times longer than that. And Castiel does enjoy the fear on the demon's face; probably too much, he realizes.
Śliiiczny fragment *__*

"And what are you going to do, huh?" she asks. "Kill me? Hurt me? Smite me?" She grabs

Dziękuję! ♥

Ruby od początku ma, jak sama stwierdza, przejebane, bo nie dość, że żadna ze stron jej nie lubi, to jeszcze nie jest dość silna (jeśli dobrze rozumiem kanon), żeby sama stać się stroną i mieć własnych minions...

I było spanking!!! Jak kazał jej się odwrócić to się serio przestraszyłam co on jej zrobi
Nie no, spanking to chyba na razie granica moich możliwości XD A gdyby było coś więcej, wrzuciłabym do ostrzeżeń przecież.

Bardzo się cieszę, że Ci się podobało, i dziękuję za długi komentarz :)

"There are many reasons why Heaven is not a democracy, and Uriel is probably one of them. Castiel holds onto the belief that being assigned Uriel as a partner in his earthly endeavours has a point, but so far, he fails to see one."
I loved that! Great fic

[girlupnorth]

Thanks a lot! I'm very happy that you enjoyed :)

[rysiaczek]

świetne, naprawdę świetne. cudownie napisana Ruby i do tego Castiel. Wszystkie dobre momenty, gdybym chciała wypisać, musiałabym przekleić pół ficka. dawno nie czytałam tak dobrego ficka. dziękuję.
no i nie wytrzymam i wkleję.

Dziękuję! Nigdy wcześniej nie pisałam nie-crackowego fika do SPN, więc tym bardziej się cieszę, że się podoba :)

Some of the comments above seem to have discussed eery possible detail of the story so forgive me for not being up to the task of a in-depth analysis. ;)

The only thing I really want to say is taht I enjoyed reading this in a very way I usually enjoy texts. This was very matter-of-fact, somehow pristine and quite elegant in style. Me, being a fan of wild metaphors stumbling over similes, I found this pleasantly refreshing. I also think that this narration truly suits the characters and the subject.

Thank you! And there was spanking! \o/
