After the fall, everything changes. Cas is human, Sam's in a coma, and Dean's shoulders won't stop aching no matter how much he ignores them. Though they both agree that fixing the world is their responsibility, Dean and Cas must first learn how to fix themselves. Forced to relearn how to function on a daily basis, the two discover that they need each other more than either of them are comfortable admitting. But they find that when you fall, it's nice to know you have someone there to catch you. “It’s being in love. When two people fill up all the broken cracks inside each other."

Author: fairyfoolishness

I was asked to read this about nine months ago. Sorry it took so long but I did get around to it last week! (Also reminder that my rating includes my personal preferences in fic)

I believe this is the author's first novel length fic. You can tell with the writing early on, but it improves as the story goes on which is fantastic to see. About halfway through I really got drawn in and just sat and finished the last half in one go. 

This fic starts out canonverse and goes AU after the end of season 8. The greatest thing about this fic I think is how well the characters change over time. Dean and Castiel change very believably. This fic does have major character death but you won't be screaming at your screen. It's somehow satisfying and okay. 

I have more praises and constructive criticisms under the read more since they're spoilery.

I absolutely love how it ended up being a twist on endverse spn. Seriously amazing job slowly leading up to that. My biggest criticism is that I couldn't see Sam saying yes to Lucifer like that. I think it would have been better if the reader could know more of his thoughts leading up to this. Or have him say yes offscreen and for us not to know why like in the original endverse. 

I had shivers when the endverse scenes showed up. Like honest to goodness shivers down my spine. When the exact same lines were used but it was a different person or a slightly different circumstance. Seriously, good creepy/nervewracking. Awesome choice.

There were some plot decisions I didn't like which is my personal dislike and others probably liked. For example, Gabriel showing up irked me. It could have been any other angel made up or otherwise who could fill that role in the fic. I don't like the idea that Gabriel faked his death here. I also disliked Lucifer lying. That is one of my favorite parts of his character, which it obviously isn't for others.

The way we saw Cas spiral into drug use and Dean becoming hard hearted over time was heartbreaking but felt so real. Thank goodness they were able to open up to each other though. It put a bit of relief of the hopelessness of the endverse situation. I also liked how Dean was learning to be an angel while Cas was learning to be human. It kind of mirrored each other. I'm sure people who are more into meta stuff than me would have stuff to say about it.

Generally, I think the author focused really well on what Dean and Cas were going through but not so well on the periphery characters which made some of their decisions hard to understand. 

To finish this up, let me tell you how much I liked the ending. A lot. I've never actually enjoyed a fic with major character death, but the author made me appreciate such an ending. It seemed the right way for it to go. Very satisfying.

So about the Dean-kicking-Cas-out thing...

Just wanted to say, I hated Dean for doing that, but what if this is the writers' way of making Destiel canon? I mean, most TV relationships come first from sorrow, pain, or distress. What if when Castiel leaves, and most likely (obviously) will be captured by Bartholomew, it will cause Dean to feel terrible about his own actions and rush to save Castiel, resulting in the happy reuniting of two lost friends who realize they mean more to each other than they thought? What if losing Cas to enemies is what causes Dean to wake up and realize how much it hurts to be without him and to have caused him so much pain, finally opening his eyes to the love that has been burning in him for so long?
