When Sam was eight, Gariel stayed an asp for three months. She was petite and black-brown and bit a man that tried to touch him in the private-place-for-no-one-but-him. The man’s daemon, a barn owl, screeched and swooped down at her.

Dean’s daemon, a tiger that day, lunged at the man from out of nowhere, but he was dead before he hit the ground from Gariel’s venom. Dean grabbed Sam, putting himself between his brother and the corpse, and Rhiannon twined around Gariel as a black mamba.

Gariel stayed an asp to protect Sam and Dean never left Sam alone anywhere after that.

When Dean was fifteen, Rhiannon stayed a panther. Gariel spent a few weeks as an ocelot before changing into a falcon.

John smiled, Astren his golden eagle on his shoulder, and called Dean a man.

o0o

When Dean was twenty-two, Sam and Gariel left for Stanford. Gariel was still cycling through shapes, unable to settle; Dean and Rhiannon went for a run and didn’t come back to the room for two days.

When Dean was twenty-three, Sam left him a voicemail: She’s a viper.

o0o

When Dean was twenty-six, he went home. Sam stared at him, Gariel curled gently around his arm, Jessica by his side. Her Yorkie daemon quietly snarled at Rhiannon, who lifted her lip to show her fangs.

Dean said please. Sam gave him two days.

o0o

When Dean was twenty-eight, Sammy and Gariel died. Rhiannon curled into a ball making small noises and Dean held his brother's body, unable to think beyond nonononono.

The choice was easy.

o0o

When Dean was twenty-nine, he spent four months in Hell. He crawled out of his grave and Rhiannon met him, shivering and shuddering, emaciated and covered in dust.

She led the way to Gariel and Sammy.

Beautiful.

You know, the fact that Anna could become human lends weight to your whole Sam/Lucifer theory.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you for reading!

[noybusiness.livejournal.com]

So have you read The Subtle Knife or The Amber Spyglass yet?

[tigriswolf]

No, I haven't.

[noybusiness.livejournal.com]

You know you should (when you have the time). Who knows when they'll get around to making the movies?

BTW, can I use that Lucifer becoming Sam ala Anna bunny? I ask because it's based on your idea.

[tigriswolf]

Sure, take that idea and run with it!

[noybusiness.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

Did you hear about the attack on Jason Mamoa? http://gateworld.net/news/2008/11/man_charged_in_attack_on_momoa.shtml

Well, isn't the above sick?

[tigriswolf]

Quite.

You've made my day, that is all.

Thank you.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!

Oh, the thought of the boys with daemons makes me so happy. And viper and panther: absolutely perfect. And it strikes me as very apt that Sam's daemon took much longer than Dean's to settle.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you for reading!
