That guy at the end? I’m not convinced he was an angel. At all.

 

 

 

She’s waiting at a crossroad’s, foot tapping impatiently. “Took you long enough,” she hisses and he smirks. 

 

“Don’t forget, missy, you called me.” His voice is mild but she flinches all the same. His smirk widens.

 

“It’s done?” she asks, eyes flicking to him and away. Now that he’s here, her courage is failing. Good. Her kind have always walked too proudly.

 

It’s why they Fell, after all.

 

“Whether it did any good or not, I don’t know,” he says. “But yes, it’s done.”

 

She nods and straightens. “Good. Thanks.”

 

“Ah, ah, ah,” he says, reaching out to touch her meatsuit’s arm. “Payment, little girl.”

 

She swallows. “Okay.” She closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, and then opens them to breathe one word. 

 

He sighs. “Glorious,” he whispers, shivering in delight. “Endgames are such fun when you know the shortcuts.”

 

She watches with wary eyes and finally gets up the courage to ask, “What will you do now?”

 

“Now?” He cackles, still turning the secret over in his mind. “I’m gonna go see my little brother and compare Winchester stories.” He pats her cheek. “Good luck with those boys, dearie.” 

 

He leaves her in the dark and whistles as he tracks the kid down.  No wonder he always raved about the Winchesters. Fun with them could last years.

personally...

the only way i can make the theology of this show work is to accept the trickster as god...on walkabout maybe, but god, jehovah, the big kahuna, whatever...and the angels as his desperate middle managers trying to keep things running with a huge void from the front office...

Interesting. Who's his little brother?

Re: personally...

[tigriswolf]

Oh. That is awesome. Do you mind if I snag it for my idea folder?

[tigriswolf]

The trickster from "Tall Tales" and "Mystery Spot".

I didn't think the Trickster was a demon. Oh, I guess you're not saying Zachariah was a demon. It was the crossroads that gave that impression.

[tigriswolf]

No, Ruby is the demon. The trickster is something entirely else, a primordial force of chaos.

Ruby? And here I thought that was Anna.

As always, I love this. I like the theory that someone below had that the Trickster is god but I think he's more online with Baal and Ares, a god as opposed to GOD, if you know what I mean. I love the idea that Loki and Pan get together to compare Winchester stories.

Thank you for reading!

I just thought Zachariah was creepy.

But, like always, you manage to give it all a new, delightfully delicious twist...

Thank you!
