this.
Summary: A hallucinating hunter and a nightmare-afflicted goddess meet for coffee.
Warnings: Possibly angst?
The familiar aroma of brewing coffee was a reminder of home, of normal life. So long as Sam didn't dwell too long on what exactly 'normal', for him, entailed, it was almost a comfort. Of course, not dwelling was nearly impossible. Grim-faced and tense, he moved around the cafe, searching out cups and spoons and napkins and other mundane things, and all the while keeping an eye on the shadows that seemed to flicker oddly just outside the edges of his vision. That they were probably illusions didn't matter much; if anything, habit dictated even more caution if he couldn't trust his senses. Besides, the more attention he paid, the less likely he was to be startled. And being startled, he was certain, would really not be very fun right then.
