-blushes- Thank you so much. I was trying for a certain mood, but I kept second-guessing myself the whole time I was writing it. I'm thrilled that you thought it worked!

I forgot how engaging a story (or a bunch of stories) within a story can really be. This was really interesting, moved forward very well with no dead space, and was, yes, very engaging. I especially liked all the true-visage-of-angels stuff in the last part--anything about that (that's more interesting than tentacles) is guaranteed to get my attention, and it was really well rendered here. Very palpable, very real.

I'd totally read this again. Thanks for a neat, interesting read in a totally different vein than anything else I've read! Fantastic stuff!

Aw, but tentacles are fun! But no, I love angels. They're basically light and sound and fury badly crammed into some meat shells. That you end up with characters as different as Anna, Castiel, Michael, and Balthazar is just fascinating. (Also, the Jegudiel lookalike transformed into a vaguely fish-like appearance because traditionally one of Saint Raphael Archangel's attributes is a fish. So that was fun for me.)

I'm so glad that you enjoyed the fic, and thank you for taking to time to leave such a wonderful comment!

I don't know how to express how much I *love* understated horror, but this had it in spades and I just want to roll around in it. This was almost too good, I tell you!

Yessssss. I was trying to go for that, but I wasn't sure how well I'd succeeded. \o/

Ah, thank you so much! It's a bit different tone-wise from what I normally write, so I struggled with it. So glad you enjoyed the outcome!
