Awesome, and hurty, and raw; one of the things I loved about this was how it wasn't easy, not even close. Jess's arrival wasn't a magical solution, and there were problems for all of them, including her. Pulling her right out of heaven and throwing her in the midst of screwed-up Winchesters showed such tremendous disregard, it was a great indication of Castiel's very narrow range of sympathies in his new God-state.
I enjoyed the mix of states for Sam - not lucid all the time, not lost all the time, just enough up and down that it must have felt like a constant balancing act for him and everyone else around him, with no real routine to get into, just having to roll with it all the time.
I also really liked how even-handed it was in terms of the character presence, with Sam, Dean and Jess all feeling equally significant.
Fabulous ♥ :)
I got all excited and recced it here (http://rocksalt-recs.livejournal.com/204610.html) at rocksalt_recs.
