ita, ever read "Consequences of Falling" [link] by pandarus? It's awesomely huge, fantastic whump and the most wonderful Dean/Cas hook-up, followed by tons more pain and angst (but, like, the fairly tolerable/non-explicit kind --pain, that is). I love this one.
Don't worry, we're sure to spot Faith first. She's like this cleavagy slut-bomb walking around 'Ooh, check me out, I'm wicked-cool, I'm five-by-five.'

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have read it (I can't believe Fay had been writing D/C this whole time, but I sure gorged when I found out--I hope she doesn't give up the fandom and the pairing, because she's awesome). But it's definitely worth a re-read.

Yeah, Luminous. It fails to actually earn either the hurt or the comfort. The plotting is choppy, the characterization is forced at best, and it feels more like a first draft than anything complete. Still, she used the correct form of rein in free rein.

I was startled at the reveal of more of the hurt that was revealed during the putative comfort part of the story. I thought I'd successfully skimmed past that. I felt the hurt pretty fairly well earned (okay, my skimming has been admitted to, but still), but there was magical healing for sure. For all the damage Dean was showing, there wasn't enough therapy in the world. Even after having recovered from Alistair.

Because books.

Always worth at least one point.

I live for the h in h/c. This told me the hurt with minimal show for what it was. No gruntle for me. Hmph!

Plei, you are so bottomless! They killed orphan babies. OMG. I totally fail to see how Castiel's tongue fixes that.

Oh, I also offer up this by the same author that remixed the crack and hurt my feelings: Five Lessons Dean Tries Teaching Castiel for Winchester Family Bonding based on the premise that Castiel pulled John out of Hell instead. But it's D/C. Because Jostiel would be all sorts of wrong (I have read it, and it scalded my delicate eyes).

The Family Bonding one was cute, but I really liked the other two you linked earlier, ita. Although the remix was incredibly hurty. Especially the end! That ... really came out of nowhere.

One gut punch of hurt, no comfort. Blammo. Off to read all the D.C by those authors,,,extending the web.
