Dean as a guide will be fun when he eventually settles down and accepts it instead of throwing toddler tantrums *g* (though to be fair to him, he has legitimate concerns that are partially borne out in the story).

I'm really happy with the way the characters are turning out - Gabe is a bit too much "Sassy Gay Friend" at times but that's not too much of a step from the Trickster anyway. Cas is uber-serious and Balt (while remaining rather aloof at present) has backstory trickling in here and there and he gets his own story later on.

I just wish I could write the story instead of writing about the story ...
