    Summary

    He exercises a lot. A whole fucking lot. Push-ups, pull-ups, jumping squats. He jogs in the same spot until he can feel his heart tear out of his chest. He works himself out to the level of exhaustion so he can drop down and faint. It never happens, so he punches the walls bloody and breaks the only table in the room. He tries to do the same to the locked door. It doesn't give, never does.

    Where is Lucifer?

    Or,

    The cage is a brutal place to be. That is, if it's a place at all. Faced with a constant threat of total ego annihilation, Sam has to either take it, or cozy up with the Devil. In Hell, there's a price to pay for self-preservation.

    Pleasant conversations, age-old questions, terrible terrible consequences. This is a bleak and claustrophobic story on the tenderness and the savagery of making friends with the Prince of Darkness.

    Me: I’m gonna give my fic an open ending so I don’t have to think what Cole’s new day to day ”life” would be like.

    People in the comments: Give us a sequel about Cole’s new day to day life!

    Me:….alright, guess I’m doing that now.

    Summary

    9x23 diverging AU.

    "This is where it starts — the brightly lit ring, the screams, the glinting of knives, the baring of teeth. This, right here, is where it begins. Sam turns to Dean, Metatron just a hero's walk away, and Dean slams his fist into the side of Sam's face. It will bruise, but that's not the point. Sam will not face Metatron's blade and wrath, but that is not the point. The point is, Dean puts Sam's hands on his chest, the action sickly sweet like perfume left on a tacky, bloated corpse — and then he walks away. He leaves Sam, dreaming black dreams on the ground, just outside of the impala. Baby does not protect him when one of Abaddon's followers finds him. Baby does not scream for help or look for Dean when the demons drag Sam's unconscious body away.

    When Dean leaves Metatron's burnt-out husk, his bones screaming ecstasy from the kill, he finds Sam gone."

    COMPLETE.

    Summary

    Dean never figured the cage wouldn’t leave a mark. He was prepared for memories, flashbacks, and nightmares. He wasn’t expecting the words Sam brought back with him or the way they made him seem just a breath beyond Dean’s reach.

    Summary

    Dean finds a spell to create a weapon to banish leviathans. It involves an Enochian incantation. The last thing Sam's already-fragile mind needs is to hear words in the language of angels.
