    Summary

    The briefing was simple: ‘Stand guard over the Michael Sword until the battle is ready to commence. Await further instructions.’

    Castiel doesn’t mind working security duty; he was briefed shortly after the initial salvation of the Sword from the pit, and again before taking up his position. He knows what to do. However, it’s easy to forget that the green room isn’t real. Time moves differently there, the space ever-changing to make a prison of mountains, cathedrals, salt flats, orchards, and whatever Castiel was led to believe about Heaven’s greatest weapon—Dean Winchester is something entirely unexpected.

    Summary

    'Magic is as much part of nature as the earth, sea and sky. Other sorcerers who sought out the circle found that their power developed certain affinities. Their abilities became tied to the cycle of the year. There would be one season at which their power was at its peak and another where it lay almost dormant. They became more closely connected to the natural ebb and flow of the world.'

    'But?'

    'But they were not Emrys. His strength is beyond anything in living memory, and the heights he could reach are, as yet, unknown.' Aglain spread his hands, his shoulders rolling in a graceful shrug. 'I can only tell you that the Tir Na Lei means no harm. Three is the number: the ritual is set. The circle will not call on Emrys again.'

    Summary

    The room looks different in the daylight, but still the same, the same smell, the same sounds, creaking wooden floors, creaking wooden bed frame. In his shoulder, an ache where the arrow struck, just under his collarbone. In his chest, a racing heart, acknowledging its near miss. Acknowledging this new, fresh hit.

    Summary

    Hans shuts his eyes, and he sees Henry.

    He thinks, He has shoulders like an ox that go brown as walnuts in the summer sun.

    He thinks, His eyes crinkle a little at the corners when he laughs. And when he laughs, it’s a soft, low wobble that scratches my ears, and I’d say any stupid jest to hear it again.

    He thinks, He has clever hands. There is something about watching them work a buckle or nock an arrow or mend a wayward hem that could bewitch a man.

    ***

    All the times Henry and Hans are separated, from alternating perspectives. Inspired by the line, "We spend too little time together."
