Spec and Gen Search: Angel Lobotomy

[sunshine-hugs.livejournal.com]

Happy New Year, everyone!

I'm looking for a specific fic I read about Cas' time being controlled. Unfortunately, all I can remember is there's a part where Dean's observing Cas, and notices that his eye looks strange (ie irritated, red, bruised, like something had been inserted into it, etc. I don't remember specifically how it was described).

And in general, I'd dearly love any fics dealing with what Cas endured under Naomi and the "lobotomy," (as seen in flashbacks here). I'd also be very happy reading any fic surrounding the angels who captured him in season 11, the ones who used those creepy head contraptions. Honestly, any fic surrounding these or related subjects would be fantastic. Aftermath is good, too! I'm a sucker for hurt!cas, caring/comforting!Dean and/or Sam, others. Can be gen or slash.

I hope some part of that drivel makes even a bit of sense; I'm afraid I am not very articulate at the moment.

Thank you all so much!

That fic doesn't sound familiar, but I'm definitely intrigued. Here are a few other Cas-gets-angel-lobotomy stories that I like:

Unfortunately, I don't know the story you are looking for either, but this one has the same theme of those creepy head contraptions. It's Dean/Cas.

Circadia by imogenbynight
4-01 is a monster undeserving of a name.
In a facility known only as Circadia, he serves a life sentence in punishment for terrible crimes he cannot remember, and is told to be grateful to have forgotten what those he left behind cannot.
Meanwhile, convinced that he is nothing but a poisonous presence in the lives of those he loves, Dean is attempting to track down Gadreel when Sam calls with bad news: Castiel has disappeared without a trace.

You are all amazing, thank you so much!!! Sorry it's taken me so long to respond, real life rather body-slammed me. These fics were awesome, thank you for your recommendations!
