Epilogue

Author's Note: So this is it. Thank you all for coming along on this journey with me. You should all be congratulated for making it this far and I should be reminded in the future to write shorter fics. *cough* I can't say there's nothing I would change about this story if I had more time as I constantly rework things that I write but I ( Read more... )

Chapter 22

Author's Note: This chapter contains some non-con scenes. They aren't very long nor are they in depth but I want to ensure that everyone is well warned. It's more sexual assault than rape but people have squicks for good reason and I don't want to ruin anyone's day. Please be aware of that before reading.

Chapter 20

Sam rushed up the last few steps toward the senator’s seat. It had taken him far longer than he’d wanted to get there but he’d been forced to slink around, dodging guards, and even in one event striking up an innocent conversation with one when he’d been spotted. He’d distracted that soldier long enough to knock him out but the going had ( Read more... )

Chapter 19

The instant he woke, Dean knew it was going to be a crappy day. He was lying face down in a dirty holding cell, his cheek pressed into something damp which he’d rather not think about, and his head was pounding as if Jupiter was throwing a tantrum inside it. Most of his clothes had been taken leaving him wearing nothing more than his ( Read more... )

Chapter 18

Castiel fought his way through the crush of people trying to get inside the stadium. He could hear people shouting joyously over some fight that was going particularly well as he struggled through the pressing bodies to make his way toward the front, heedless of the indignant shouts from those he shoved aside. He stumbled up the entry ( Read more... )

Chapter 17

Castiel slumped at the end of his bed and glared at the door. He’d been in that position for most of the night and his back was beginning to hurt but he ignored it. His mind was too preoccupied with all that had happened in the past twenty four hours. The rugs strewn about his room were a mess from where he’d been pacing, kicking them ( Read more... )

Chapter 16

Dean had been utterly unbearable since dropping Castiel off and Sam was almost at the point of telling him to just go back and get him now if only to save his sanity. He’d had to listen to a diatribe of insults which questioned everything from the senator’s choice of wardrobe to the integrity of his entire family tree. While he couldn’ ( Read more... )

Chapter 15

Castiel followed silently in Azazel’s wake and feigned interest while the senator pointed out the various features of the home he felt were important. A large grizzled looking hound sat that the entrance to one of the rooms and he growled lowly as Castiel passed before taking up stride at his master’s hip. Azazel patted him but Castiel ( Read more... )

Chapter 14

The three day journey back to Rome flew by much faster than anyone had hoped despite their attempts to move at a much slower pace than before. Castiel had been irritated at Dean on the first day for not trusting him earlier when it came to Sam’s transfer but his attempts to remain angry had been thwarted when his lover had ridden next to ( Read more... )

Chapter 13

Castiel was jolted awake the next morning by the sound of pained screaming. He froze, half sitting up in his bed, and listened for any sign that it had been more than some remnant nightmare. A moment later though it sounded again, a cry of torment that curled up on the end into a whimper before it died. Castiel’s heart made much the ( Read more... )
