I don't think Crowley's motivation is all that complicated, really - if Hell's a corporation, he's a middle manager who moved into the corner office because the board of directors (Azazel, Lilith, Alastair) managed to get themselves killed. It serves to reason that plenty of other demons might look at that and decide, "Hey, why don't I try that?" So he needs some power to secure his position and demons are too back-stabbing for it to come from the inside. Opening Purgatory is his plan, after all, but he can't do it by himself so he does what Crossroads demons do: find some poor idiot willing to make a deal. He must have thought the stars aligned when Cas all but fell into his lap. He caught Cas at his most desperate and prideful and made the most of it - the mistake he made was it never even occurring to him that Cas might pull a Vader and alter the deal. (And hey, if Cas hadn't gotten greedy and only had to hold on to half the number of souls, who knows if things would have gone the same way?)

And YES, that sounds awesome. Someone needs to make this a thing (someone not me, because I'd want to write in it.) The Silent Hill stories alone! Call of Duty war AUs! Dot Hack!

Just saying. Someone should get on this.
