    Summary

    I tried to work my way into the language of the epic, at least a bit. People in the LJ community liked this, so.... let's see if you do.
    Title: I will sing the song of the mighty lord, the man of battle – prompt #40 Gilgamesh epic, tablet 6 (Ishtar and the Bull of Heaven)
    Disclaimer: I believe there’s nobody left standing to claim copyright on Gilgamesh, Enkidu and the rest. Our boys, naturally, belong to the powers that be and I only borrow, as always and return them faithfully, if a bit the worse for wear.
    Rating: NC-17
    Genre: slash
    Spoilers: none
    Word Count: ~1468 not counting the quote
    Characters/Pairings: Dean/Cas, Pamela as Ishtar
    Warnings: man-on-man action, goddesses, gory bulls, author waxing poetic, impending doom being hinted at
    Summary: The goddess Ishmela desires Deangamesh, but is rejected. In her wrath, she sends the Bull of Heaven. Deangamesh dares Caskidu to go and kill the Bull with him.
    I'm somewhat certain that the prompter was expecting the fight and beginning of friendship thing, but I somehow went with... this, sorry!
