PROMPT, TEAM CASTIEL/CROWLEY, GREAT GATSBY AU
Date: 2013-09-21 12:33 am (UTC)Oh, I'd just like to add as a little note of enthusiasm, as a freshman English major, this bonus round is making me squeal. I cannot wait to see all the prompts and fills you all can come up with based on books, because it's going to be beautiful.
FILL, TEAM CASTIEL/CROWLEY, GREAT GATSBY AU
Date: 2013-09-22 03:18 am (UTC)Castiel Novak didn’t know why he’d let Dean drag him to this place, because it was definitely not his scene. Him and Sam Winchester had both finished their first year of university, and through going over to his house for a study session, he’d met Dean. The eldest Winchester apprenticed under his father at a mechanics shop, which was how they were paying for Sam’s university. Castiel’s deadbeat dad had left some money for him before he’d run off when he was a baby. Castiel only had a suit because of funeral he’d gone to long ago, and the Winchesters only had a pair because one tailor Dean had repaired a car for had thrown in some suits as a bonus for a rush job. Suffice to say, Castiel would rather be at home curled up with a book.
“It looks surreal.” Jessica, Sam’s date, said in awe when they pulled up into the driveway. The entire house was alit and the vibrations given off by the booming music made it feel like Castiel’s body was shaking.
Their modest car came to an abrupt halt and Dean practically dragged him out of the car, “Come on!” The four of them made their way through the crowd to the main ballroom, and Dean somehow managed to shove a drink in his hand as soon they got there. “You know I don’t drink much,” he murmured, eyeing the martini with disapproval. “Come on Cas, let loose a little. This will be fun.” He was literally rubbing elbows with people he didn’t know and he’d never seen so many women in short dresses.
“Me and Jessica are going to head to dance floor, see you two later,” Sam smiled, and took her by the hand and escorted her to the center of the room. By the time they passed the first couple of women in shimmering silver dresses Castiel had already lost sight of them in the glitzy atmosphere. Everything seemed to shine with the intent to distract him and he felt a bit of sensation overload. He wasn’t the only that was distracted: Dean had set his sights on the girls to the left of them, whose short black dresses left little to the imagination, just like Dean liked it.
“Which one do you want?” Dean grinned as he glanced over to his friend. “Uh, surprise me. I’m… going to go get some food,” he stammered out and quickly fled. As he passed through the crowd, all he heard was gossip, and no one had the decency to whisper about it. Some names were unknown to him and others were people who graced the pages of the newspaper almost daily. And of course, everyone was talking about Gatsby.
He went to reach for a hors d’oeuvre off a waiter’s plate when he heard a silky voice behind him, “You look a little lost.” Castiel retracted his hand, and turned around to see who was addressing him: it was a man in a dark red suit with a silk blue tie. Warily, he replied, “No, I know where I am.”
The man chuckled, “I mean, you’re not the wild type.” Castiel tried not to frown, but he supposed it seemed obvious that he wasn’t terribly enjoying himself.
“I’m Crowley, by the way,” he said and extended a hand, which Castiel shook, and smiled a bit.
“How about I take you somewhere that’s a little more your style?” Crowley asked, watching him carefully. Castiel hesitated a moment before nodding, and Crowley downed the remainder of his drink before he put it on a butler’s tray and began to tug him through the crowd. Crowley led him through a hallway that no one seemed to be loitering in, until he opened a door, which revealed a vast library. Castiel shuffled in with wonder, and Crowley closed the door behind him. “There’s quite a few first editions here. Thought I doubt Mr. Gatsby has read most of them.”
“Why would he buy them, then?” Castiel asked, furrowing a brow as he approached a bookcase. He reached out his hand, wanting to touch the spines, but dared not. It would be rude to do so.
“Why would he hold all these parties? To impress people.” Crowley grinned, taking a step towards the man, though he hardly paid any attention to the books.
“But no one comes here,” Castiel remarked, and found the logic to be a bit lacking. In the time that he’d been thinking about the matter Crowley had closed in on him more. “You’re here.” The accent has such close proximity sent shivers up his spine and he found himself backing into the bookcase.
“So are you,” Castiel swallowed, and he felt the need to just say anything as opposed to being nervous and silent, but he felt embarrassed to have said something nonsensical.
“I’m sure Mr. Gatsby wouldn’t mind if you borrowed a book,” Crowley said, leaning forward with his lips hovering some inches away from Castiel’s.
“Oh?” Castiel stammered, a magnetic force making him lean in ever so slightly but he was too shy to make contact. If he lost himself in that voice for even another second…
Then, there was an abrupt knock on the door, “Cas? You in there?”
Castiel bolted upright, and Crowley stepped backwards as the other man made a nervous beeline for the door. He didn’t even cast a glance backwards, “I’m here!” He squeaked as soon as the door opened, with Dean there with two martini glasses in his hand. “Where have you been? I asked around and some people said they saw you coming here. One even swore that you were with Mr. Gatsby,” he scoffed in disbelief.
His throat felt dry, “Mr…?” Castiel turned around, but the room was empty. He blinked, and then looked back to Dean, taking a glass from him.
“Yeah, I told them that they’d had too much to drink.” Dean glanced around, “I see you clearly haven’t been having any fun,” he teased.
A faint blush spread on his cheeks but he quickly hid it by taking a sip of his drink, “Nowhere I would rather be.”
As Dean lead him back to the bustling ballroom, Castiel reflected that the sharp dressed devil he met might just be a good enough reason to let his friend drag him to another party.

Prompt, Team Benny/Dean, Sharp Objects AU
Date: 2013-09-21 02:34 am (UTC)He's fighting the urge to go back to his old ways. And it's hard to cut cold turkey.
But then an investigator with blue eyes comes down from out of town and just so happens to be working on the murder as well. It was only an interview before Dean fell for Mr. Benny Lafitte.
Self inflicted red scars spelling out Leave, flared on his hip.
Fill, Team Balthazar/Castiel, Sharp Objects AU
Date: 2013-09-30 06:09 am (UTC)Dean stared at the freshly carved letters on left arm, LOVE. It read in gory red bloody letters. He gripped the knife tight in his hand, his knuckles white, watching as the blood pooled and the letters became more prominent on his arm. His hand shook with the anger and suppressed rage inside him. He hadn’t thought that Benny Lafitte would have turned out to be the murderer. Benny the investigator from out of town. Benny with the blue eyes. Benny whom he loved.
He should have known from the start when he’d thought Benny was charming…he shouldn’t have been so stupid and thought that he could lead a normal life with Benny. Nothing normal ever happened to him. It was as if he was a magnet and all the pain in the world was attracted to him. In the short time that they were together, Benny had tried to keep him from cutting himself, from going back to his old ways. Yet when it came down to it…Dean still didn’t understand why he would do such a thing. Why care for someone when you were a murderer who killed two young girls? Why tell them not to mutilate themselves when you were just as bad?
He would never know.
Dean hissed as he drew the knife over the letters now so that the word LOVE was striked out. He watched as his blood dripped down his arm in rivulets, the mangled flesh staring back at him as though it blamed him for his own stupidity. His breath was ragged panting as he looked at the crimson droplets, falling from his arm like the beginnings of a shower.
The blood soaked into his bed sheets turning them a dark red. Dean curled up on his side, the knife slippery in his bloodied hand now. On his right arm where the old scars were Dean pressed the knife into his skin and carved the word HATE.
Benny had wound his way into his life completely and he hadn’t even noticed until it was too late, until he had fallen irrevocably in love with him. Now the pain was just too much to bear on his own. He should have known better than to trust anyone other than Sam…his beloved little brother. He missed Sam so much. If only he could hear his voice once more, hear his laughter.
And Dean smiled sadly, he had an idea. He knows how he will finally be happy.
“I’m coming home Sammy…” he whispers, “I’m coming home…”

FILL, team castiel/lucifer, howl's moving castle AU
Date: 2013-09-21 05:39 pm (UTC)Michael's only met Sam a couple of times, enough to know that he's a wizard like Adam, only he deals more with the heavier magic and is amazing at growing herbs (they move around a lot, this castle, and Adam often forgets to water the plants). He also has a fire demon named Lucifer, Michael's younger brother. It'd been weird at first, especially once he found out that they'd figured out a spell to give Lucifer a human form and that they were together. The last time the four saw each other, Sam had pressed the spell into Adam's hand and Lucifer had winked before the duo had sauntered off into the sunset.
"You've seen our respective brothers, I trust?" Michael asks and Adam turns around and flashes that beaming smile at him. Michael's a pretty powerful fire demon and even though he would much rather not be a power source for a human, the smile still makes him blush. Adam presses an enthusiastic kiss to Michael's lips before sauntering away to make a potion that the King's niece's dog or whoever needs for something, Michael isn't really paying attention.
"They were wonderful, really, and they introduced me to a man who makes enchanted sweets named Gabriel and Sam told me that he'd just gotten back from hunting with Dean and he gave me two extra vials of werewolf blood so hopefully we'll get to use that in the future don't want it to go bad now do we?" Adam's prattling on and Michael goes back to his flame form, content to listen to his wizard (and okay, so he's a little less reluctant now than he was initially) talk about their family. Adam sits down into the chair in front of the hearth with a kettle filled with water which Michael sets about heating up. He senses that there's a storm brewing outside the Kansas door and says, "Well, it's a good thing then that you got back when you did, otherwise you would have been drenched." Adam shoots a fond smile at him and says in a vaguely patronizing tone, "Some of us don't mind the rain, Michael."
Michael sniffs and turns his heat down so that it's barely hitting the kettle, "Mere humans might enjoy the rain, sure, but some of us superior beings detest such a thing." Adam chuckles, still fond, and puts another log onto Michael's hearth, "Come on now, Michael, don't be stubborn. I was only teasing." Sulkily, Michael heats up the kettle again and it whistles in a matter of minutes. Adam curls up in his chair with his tea in one hand and a book in the other. It's mostly silent except for the occasional back and forth over something Adam's reading about and has Michael ever heard of it. For Michael's part, he's content to watch the wizard relax and deliver some knowledge unto him. It's a quiet night in the castle and Michael thinks grudgingly that maybe Lucifer was onto something about humans not being such bad company after all.

Sometimes, when Lucifer closes his eyes, he can hear ringing laughter in his ears. The sound is always soft, melodious, and sweet – an innocent sound, the laugh of a child. Then the guilt would come, washing down on him like a wave, relentless and furious. He would imagine bright blue eyes, widening in surprise and maybe a touch of fear and he would remember the hand that reached out for him, the one that he tried to catch in his own grasp before it disappeared into the pages of the book.
His eyes would open then, the nightmare chased away, and he’d hear singing instead, and the scent of something undeniably sweet would fill the air.
It was almost a routine – everyday, he would wake from the same nightmare (memory, a voice would whisper in his mind), he would dress himself, and he would make his way down the winding stairs to the kitchen, where a short man with words painted over his skin would be making pancakes.
“His wings,” the words would read, “were ripped from his back, the pride of his being torn from his soul…”
The man’s name was Gabriel. He was short, lively, and sarcastic to a fault, but he was good, and somewhat respectful of the blond he lived with. It was almost painful, how different he was to the boy he had taken the place of. There were black-inked words tattooed into his skin, winding from his hands, around his scarred back (“there were wings there, once,” his mind would whisper to him, softly, yet with a cutting cruelty he would never let go of) and even a smidge on his face. His hair had specks of black in them, marring the brown that was slicked back and set in place. Gabriel liked to complain. He was loud, and he was hyperactive. He didn’t belong to the human world.
Gabriel was stuck out of place, with no way to go home. He never asked Lucifer, after that first time, if he could send him home with his magic tongue. The brunet never seemed to forget how he felt, finding himself in the strange sitting room filled with books, so many old books that were lovingly repaired, or the fire that seemed to chill him instead of warming him. He didn’t seem to forget the twin mugs, filled with steaming hot chocolate or how shell-shocked Lucifer had been the night they met, or how it was the only time he had ever seen the blond with tears in his eyes, speechless, and undeniably scared.
Lucifer never spoke a word of that night, the night when Lucifer read Gabriel out from the pages of a book, the night where Lucifer’s little brother, his only family, was torn away from him. They let the hurt linger beside them, following them like a cloud. They never said a word about what they both had lost.
Since then, they had adopted a conventional relationship. Lucifer would eat breakfast with Gabriel, and then he’d slink down into his office, lovingly fixing books like his little brother had always wanted to do. Gabriel would wash whatever dishes they used. He would go out, exploring the world in a large, think hoody and avoid the crowds stuffed with people he would never understand. The two would meet up again for lunch every now and then before returning to their separate ways until supper. Then Lucifer would cook, something salted and not sweet, and they would chat a little. Lucifer would show Gabriel the books he fixed that day. Gabriel would talk about the strange things he saw, and he would compare them to the mountains of his home, to the kingdom filled with light and tranquility. They would go to bed, in opposite parts of the quiet house, and the ritual would be repeated.
They never talked about the blue-eyed boy with dark hair whose picture hung on the wall, on a table, and on top of the fireplace. They never talked about the family left behind in the black ink of a book, of a shining kingdom filled with laughter or the winged knights who protected the skies.
And sometimes, Lucifer would read. He would read aloud the book from which Gabriel came from. His mouth would produce sounds, words that meant nothing to him but meant the world to Gabriel. The brunette would listen with rapt attention, for Lucifer’s voice held magic in it, and his tongue made beautiful sounds that he could never imagine. Gabriel would close his eyes, and he would see the sun shining on a kingdom of gold, with towers rising in the sky and his brother-in-arms at his side.
Lucifer would read flowers out of the books. He would read weapons, armour, and maybe a piece of jewelry or two, but a person never came. From the hundreds of times he read the book, Gabriel would never return to the pages of his home, and a blue-eyed boy never came out.
A year passed like this, and then another. Three years turned to five, and the monotone routine slowly started to change.
At first, it was small things. Gabriel would cook something other than pancakes, or Lucifer would spend less time in his office. They would wander outside together, a comfortable silence lingering beside them. The taller of the two started to notice just how out of place Gabriel seemed to be – how his eyes shined as he watched children play, how they darkened in anger when a bully came, and how quick he was to play a prank on said bully, his childish nature mixing with protectiveness over the innocent. For the first time, in so long, Lucifer began to feel something more than guilt and sadness. He was intrigued, curious, and he watched as his companion would saunter back with a smirk of satisfaction on his face.
“Are you always so quick to help others?” Lucifer would ask each time the shorter of the two delivered the “just desserts” that the bullies so much deserved.
“Nope!” the brunet would give a toothy grin, eyes shining as he thought of a new plan. His pranks were usually quite deadly, and harmful, but Lucifer could never bring himself to care. Sometimes, he thought he stopped caring after his little brother had been torn away from him. Sometimes, he would wonder how his world went from everything to nothing but the brunette who was always beside him.
And somewhere along the way, he started to think of Gabriel as his own little brother. He stopped reading to the brunette, maybe out of boredom after having read the words so many times or maybe out of fear of losing him. He would wander out of his office more, the old books collecting dust and left forgotten once more.
The nightmares stopped, the blue-eyed boy (Castiel, his memory supplied softly, though the name no longer brought him pain) smiling now rather than holding a fearful expression. Lucifer would pass the syrup to his surrogate brother, who would then slather his pancakes full with them, causing both fascination and disgust in the blond. Lucifer slowly learned to smile again, laughing at the cryptic quips Gabriel would make and eventually joining him in his deadly pranks to deliver justice against those who wronged others.
And maybe, pressed between the words of a book filled with winged knights, a picture of blue-eyed boy smiling happy in the arms of a freckled face, long-haired boy was enough to let Lucifer know that his little brother was okay, and that he was living his happily ever after in the black ink of a book.

FILL: Frankenstein (Team Castiel/Balthazar)
Date: 2013-09-23 02:25 am (UTC)When one ran their hand through the hair of another, their face was not filled with contempt like my creators when he touched me, but an emotion I had never seen before. The lips gently tugged back and the eyes creased, almost sparkled? Impossible, eyes do not sparkle.
Once I had sated my hunger, I found myself unable to leave, as curiosity kept my feet rooted to the ground. I had to learn the motivation behind these strangers’ actions.
There were three, all men like my creator, no companions, but they all seemed content nonetheless. I watched them for days and no one came, and no one left. There was no screaming like I had endured, except for at night, but in the morning they resumed their routine, unaffected it seemed. When one would touch another, it had the same tenderness my creator had shown me at my birth, but there was no disgust, only amazement, even though they repeated their actions so often, and surely they could not have changed so much in so little time?
And their lips touched. So often; brief encounters and long sessions of stealing breath. I touched my own lips with my clumsy hands, and felt a hollowness near my chest which I had not felt before.
They had a routine which was not quite obvious to me, but they all worked around each other in such a succinct manner that they were able to predict the others’ move, that it must be choreographed when my attention was elsewhere. One part of this dance was one of the gentlemen, with the deepest voice, enjoyed reading aloud to the others, a past time I partook in secretly; I found myself drinking in his words as much as his companions, constantly learning.
Perpetual time and attention was still not enough to understand some of their habits. For instance, they chose to be as naked as I, and used each other for body heat, which I could not comprehend because I knew they possessed clothes which would have been much more effective?
I found the pain in my chest growing, aching, never ceasing. The more I looked the worse my condition. Although I felt I still had much to learn about my unknowing companions, I left begrudgingly in hope I could by reunited with my father; I had a request he would be a fool to refuse me.

Date: 2013-09-21 03:07 pm (UTC)I'd like to see a gen AU with some of the daemons being demons to our humans and angels. Say, Crowley being Sam's daemon, Meg being Castiel's, Ruby's being Anna's, and so forth. I don't mind if they're on an adventure or if it's just snark and sass whilst around each other, the daemons playing together or what have you.

It could be gen with them just getting into amusing shenanigans, or it could end with Anna going on a date with this really cute girl called Ruby and Gabriel trying to spy, or any number of things. Cue puns and hilarity!

Date: 2013-09-21 03:55 pm (UTC)We have Castiel, our regular worker, comfortable in his job even if his boss, Lucifer, is kind of a dick. He loves the guys he works with, and he's happy with his life, all in all.
Until one day, he starts hearing the animals talk. He tries to get away from it, but ends up assisting in the animals' plights all the same, and in this way he meets Meg, who works at an animal shelter.
She thinks Castiel is a little odd, but egh, what the Hell? He's pretty, after all.
I think Meg and Cas' dynamic could be really great.
