I, just - Goddamn. This is incredible, every single line and image and fucking turn of phrase that I want to repeat back to you, which is to say, the entire thing. It's incredibly beautiful and incredibly Dean - poetic and stupid and fatalistic and tired and loving - and incredibly Castiel - to cop 22by7's phrase, a "smouldering, elusive powerhouse of a character": he/zie's so completely alien beyond alien, biblical and undefinable and beyond the known world, one of the most perfect angel characterizations I have come across so far.

In conclusion, <3 <3 <3 <3. And awe.
