fic for vareth_is! dragon!castiel.
cancan_cadenza , i had half of your answers written up before i got sick and then they died. so my next post will be that meme, i promise! <3333
this is inheritance/spn au! because vareth_is told me to.
pg, castiel (+ uriel, + anna)
castiel says, i want to see a human today.
anna flares her wings, so the sunlight glances ruby-bright across them, makes them luminous. castiel, she says, claws digging into the edge of her ledge, so rock crumbles down and down. we've had this conversation before.
but, castiel says. it would be an important part of my education!
anna is the primary human-talker, because uriel hates them and everyone else is too old (read: boring) to try and be diplomatic with animals that have tiny, tiny brains and think they don't. she is endlessly patient with everyone, except sometimes uriel, and currently cas. she is also very very pretty, and he likes watching the light play across her scales.
no, she says, it really wouldn't. you would try and make friends and then uriel would throw a hissy fit--
uriel throws a hissy fit over everything, he says.
no, anna says, firmly, and that is that.
fine, he says, sulkily, and launches himself off the cliff face to go find uriel, because at least uriel will hunt things with him.
--
the wind runs clean and clear across his scales, sharp and crisp. he dips his claws in the water and snags a fish, gulps it down in one smooth swallow.
so, uriel says, we're heading back home.
what, castiel says, forgetting to glide and falling straight down for like five seconds before he catches himself. really? all of us?
actually, uriel says, laughter warm in his voice, just you and me. like a scouting mission. his scales are jet-black, impossibly smooth. i bet the mud monkeys have killed themselves already.
awesome, castiel says, and does a backflip.
--
the humans are very small. castiel lands next to one of them and blinks at it; it screams, small and piercing.
hello, he says.
uriel says, just eat it already.
it says, "are you going to eat me?" it has small blue eyes and yellow hair that falls to its waist. he thinks it is a female of the species, and immature.
well, now i can't, castiel says.
uriel says, nice bleeding heart.
they fly away.
--
there is a dragon with a rider. uriel wants to kill both of them, to purge the gene pool; castiel tilts his head at them, and says, why did you do it?
the dragon says, he is my family.
i am very sorry, castiel says. that must be difficult.
the rider thinks, loudly, are they gonna eat us?
uriel says, that would be cannibalism, which is revolting. we'll just eat you.
castiel says, i think we should talk about this.
