It’s been tried, she says, flicking her hair.

I know, he replies, drumming his fingers on his thigh. But I learn from mistakes.

She chuckles, no mirth in the sound. If he failed—and the failure was glorious, no doubt of that—how sure are you of success?

He grins, day-bright and winter-cold. I will not go in on the attack. I will not mark myself with fire and death.

Licking her lips, she studies him. They require a deft touch. I’ve been at it for awhile.

I know, he repeats. I will take my time.

She nods. Patience is needed with them. Sighing, she smiles dreamily. The power between them… I still don’t know why Above didn’t swipe them years ago.

He shrugs. They are marked. Perhaps Above doesn’t want to sully their dainty hands.

She laughs, this time with glee. I have missed you, Castiel. Your wit is always fun.

He smirks. I’ll see you. You go by ‘Ruby’ now, yes?

Again she nods, pulling his head down to kiss his cheek. I like this meat-suit. Keep it.

He presses his lips to her forehead and watches her saunter out.

Don’t forget, she calls over her shoulder. Dean’s at his most dangerous when there’s nowhere to run, or he can’t get to Sam. You’ll be causing both.

I remember, he says. I’m the one who carried his soul Out and shoved it into that rotting corpse.

She pauses on the threshold. Be careful, Castiel. There are so few of us left.

He takes a deep breath, slowly releasing it. I will be. And be sure you don’t forget—even demons can get burned when they play with fire. The flame you court is brightest of all.

She goes. After a moment, he follows, as he did from Above.

I was just saying there needed to be some interaction between these two! And this is fantastic! :)

[tigriswolf]

Thank you so much!

ohhh...nice...

you evil woman you ;>

Re: ohhh...nice...

[tigriswolf]

I'm not evil! I'm wicked.

[dotfic.livejournal.com]

I was actually thinking about Ruby and Castiel interacting! This is perfect.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!

[ultraviolet9a.livejournal.com]

Oooooh! This gives the feeling of film-noir, with the illegal couple trying to make a con scheme come true. Love it.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!

[smilla02.livejournal.com]

Oh... there will be sparkles between these two.

[tigriswolf]

Yup yup.

I like this a lot. I don't want Castiel to be a good guy--that leads too many places I don't want Sam and Dean to go. Thanks for sharing with us :)

[tigriswolf]

I want him to be fallen.

Thank you for reading!

Intriguing look at who Castiel might interact with, if he's a fallen angel. I especially like this line:

He grins, day-bright and winter-cold.

Great description.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!

[dazzlebug.livejournal.com]

I love the ambiguity of that killer last line! Bravo!

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!

[teardrop-tattoo.livejournal.com]

OHHHHHHH!!

THIS WOULD BE SUCH A GOOD WAY FOR KRIPKE AND CO. TO GO!!!!

:D :D

LOVEEE!!!!

[tigriswolf]

Thank you so much!

[jadore-dorff.livejournal.com]

that was lovely. :)

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!

[julorean.livejournal.com]

Oooo, this is so cool! I love the interaction. I'd love it if Castiel was a Fallen, would make things so interesting. PLus, I realy don't want it to turn into a Dean vs Sam thing.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you for reading!

[noybusiness.livejournal.com]

Beautiful.

Sidebar, I often like to listen music while I'm working or thinking (not any particular genre, just good music). What about you?

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!

Yup, I listen to my library of songs.

[noybusiness.livejournal.com]

Great! I asked because Doctor Who has some of the best music in the world, and there was recently a concert. A youtube user has vids of all the pieces, here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=FF6CDCDF52FACD4A

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Oooh, for a moment there I thought that was Lilith! Ruby and Castiel - *shivers*

[tigriswolf]

Man, now I wish I had made it Lilith.

[gypsy-atavari.livejournal.com]

Well that's all kinds of intriguing. :-)

Your descriptions are beautiful... as always. thanks for sharing this. :-)

[tigriswolf]

Thank you for reading!

[sadelyrate.livejournal.com]

This is quite likely one of the most delicious fics born in the wake of the premiere so far.
Just... right in a certain way.

Thank you.

[tigriswolf]

*snuggles you close*

[coell.livejournal.com]

Very cool.

[tigriswolf]

Thanks!

[emmademarais.livejournal.com]

Oh ho ho... Let the Castiel/Ruby commence! You know we wanted to see these two interact.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you for reading!

[aja-evenstar.livejournal.com]

It has actually never occured to me that Castiel may have an alterior motive, or not be who he seems. Of course, i only watched the first two episodes two days ago hahaha. But i've done a lot of thinking since watching them ;) And once again, you amaze me. Awesome fic.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!
