I enjoy this fic partially because of the possibilities. I'm not typically into westerns, but this AU creates a Cas and Jimmy so different, yet, still recognizable. Just like any good AU, we see elements of the show in it (Dean stays to take care of Sam, John doing a job to protect others). But I love the complexity that is added when Jimmy and Cas aren't exactly the good guys, when Cas' angel-ness is transformed into human ruthlessness. I like that it's actually very alien to the 'verse we know; and the story recognizes that different situations make people different. The portrayal of Cas and Jimmy is unique and all the more fascinating for it. The story kept me (figuratively) biting my nails the first time I read it, trying to determine what would happen. And the end, well, that throws what you thought about the 'verse for a loop.
Another wanted poster came through the town today. Hung up at the jail and at the bank and at the general store. Dead or Alive. Dean bets dead is preferred but it’s not gonna happen. Doesn’t matter if the world knows them, not a single person in this town is gonna be willing to raise their hands to the Twins, and what would they wanna come through here for anyway? They wouldn’t find much to rob here.
Cas and Jimmy.
There's an old wanted poster that he keeps hidden in his room and he looks over it. Jimmy peers up from under the rim of his hat, a serious sort of mischievousness lurking in his gaze. Cas stares straight out at the camera and dares whoever is on the other side to take a step forward. They’re amazing.
Dean can picture in his mind the way the dust kicks up trails that follow their horse’s hooves. No one out-rides them. No one out-fights them. Out-shoots them. Nothing. They’re at the top of the damn world. Better than that? They’re doing it together. Dean pictures he and Sammy like that. Riding across the lands, taking in money on a pair of good horses, and there’s no worry about the next meal. There’s no worry about what to do when Sammy gets sick because Sammy doesn’t get sick. No one is going to come kick them off their land because their land will be everywhere.

And don't forget to check out the great art and vid made for it, either!
