Murphy hasn't been sleeping well ( Read more... )

In the time since Neal's return, Jo's kept to herself. Both his and Peter's return to life has left her with entirely too many questions, and entirely too many feelings that she isn't ready to fully face. So she secludes herself in her cabin, and spends entirely too much time out hunting, usually spending days at a time out deep in the woods. She ( Read more... )

Neal wakes up. It's wrong, he knows that the moment it happens, the second awareness flares back into tissues that should be decom ( Read more... )

Peter hasn't said much in the last couple of days. Truth be told he hasn't moved much, which is probably well enough because magic spring water or not, his kidney and ribs aren't anywhere close to healed. He's still much paler than he normally is (tremendous blood loss tends to do that), and the worry-lines in his forehead look like they're ( Read more... )

In the morning, Neal is at the bar. He's not a huge drinker - yes, he enjoys good wine, and yes, he'll do beer when it's in Peter's company, but aside from the occasional high-end bar this isn't really his scene ( Read more... )

Things had only gotten worse since that awkward day when Dean had confronted Sam about drinking Ruby's blood.  If things had felt strained beforehand, now they felt, well... non-existent.  Sam had been hoping Dean would at least contact him to lecture him, as much as he didn't want to hear it.  Having Dean just wash his hands of him entirely, as if ( Read more... )

In the castle of the Princess of Storms, there's a Time Lord roaming the halls. Not that this is anything unusual lately, but today he's picking up random bits of clockwork and shoving them into his pockets as he goes. Anything that seems to have any hint of a personality gets left alone... and he's letting go anything that tries to crawl out of ( Read more... )

He had been here how long now? A few weeks. A few weeks without real pizza. A few weeks without sex, drugs or Rock'N'Roll. Dante could not remember when he last went this long without any of them. Probably never if he knew himself. The frustration of being stranded in virtual limbo after having climbed the proverbial steps of Purgatory (or; cleared ( Read more... )

A couple of nights later, Jo had figured out that it was in her best interest to move on from being upset about her friend leaving, and had learned to just accept that she was going to have to move on in life alone because anyone could be taken away from her at any given minute. The part that made her hurt the worst was knowing that she couldn't ( Read more... )

The fact that Dean was gone had entirely registered with her, and it was just a fact, but it wasn't one that she was ready to fully accept. She had thought of this place as a second chance, as a place where she could get close to her friend, and they could have an actual friendship instead of something entirely based on their parents being hunting ( Read more... )
