Ok, this, right here? Is my new favorite brand of Castiel. Soooo much more entertaining, and this speech - “I have lost count of how many times I've whisked you out of your own disasters. I have committed treason, subterfuge, blasphemed and merrily carried your not-insubstantial forms across timelines, all for the benefit of your cause. I continue to help by foiling the latest nefarious plot, and you know what would be nice? A thank you. Thank you, Castiel, for being so helpful. This helping that has smashed your life-long beliefs into kindling? It's lovely. We're sorry for yelling at you because we are too dense and self-absorbed to understand your methods.” - made me laugh *so hard*. I'm only one chapter in, and already things are shaping up to be awesome. ;-D
