This made me tear up. Poor, poor boys. I love the voice you gave the purgatory souls here. Well done!

Magnificent artwork from quickreaver (as always!)

This is the best fic I have read in a very long time. And the saddest. And yet the most hopeful and the one with the best ending. Erm, if that makes any sense at all. I'm basically in awe of your writing in every single story I've ever read of yours, and I'm fairly certain you're the only author I've ever seen who's completely fixed Sam's hell-issues in a way that didn't seem cheezy or an opt-out. In fact, we had to get through a whole mess of tear-jerking stuff and Sam being freaking DEAD in order to get there. It felt real, the emotions and the hopelessness and the pain, and it was an all-around gorgeous piece.
AND- The way you wrote about the souls wearing Cas down and being these malevolent and overpowering voices in his mind was too brilliant for words. Kudos for sucess on a second-person fic and for using that to get the interaction between Cas and the souls down so well.

I totally agree with you here. When I read the fic, I was truly moved. I've loved radiumgirl's writing from the second I stumbled upon it, and was REALLY damned lucky to have stumbled onto her SummerSammyLove'ins submission. She is gold.

I am blushing SO HARD right now. Thank you so much for reading and squeeing and commenting! I was very worried about using the second-person narration because it is so tricky to nail and I've never used it for more than a thousand words or so. I'm glad it worked for you!

And yes, I am very anti-cheese. *hugs*

This is beautiful. And perfect. And brilliant.

Your Cas is always so perfect and you've written a Godstiel that's truly convincing. I am speechless and in awe and shaking and crying.

Thank you so much for this.

Damn. dark!fic indeed. I absolutely adored it!

This was so, so chilling. Castiel and his interaction with the souls was just brilliant. And what Sam and Dean both went through, just gosh, I can't believe I'm still holding myself together.

This was simply beautiful, really.

This was so, so chilling.

Cas turned into such a creeper. I didn't even realize it happened and then I was doing edits and I was like, "Wow, Cas is a creeper." But it works, and it wasn't entirely his fault.

Thank you so much for reading!
