Buffy had learned long ago that she could do more with the help of others than by herself. Sure, she bossed people around and was the General in a lot of ways with the others that helped both in Sunnydale and other places but she knew as she stood at the entrance to the lobby and looked into the ballroom, that this wouldn't have been pulled off ( Read more... )

The first thing Balthazar did when he left Castiel was change his wardrobe. Balthazar might look like Castiel's vessel but he wasn't going to dress like him so he got rid of the suit and trench coat and went with something more casual with jeans, t-shirt, and light suit jacket. Much more him. He also decided to give his vessel some stubble. Smooth- ( Read more... )

At least angels were used to being in other vessels, though Cas didn't ever remember a time where something like this happened. It was definitely strange. And very troubling ( Read more... )

Balthazar was sitting at the hotel bar that was located off to the side of the lobby at a table by himself. He wasn't exactly nursing the scotch in front of him as he was actually slowly going through an entire bottle. Learning the fate of your siblings, regardless of the fact that you, yourself, were dead, was still a bit of an ordeal and ( Read more... )

He felt warm. The fact that the weather was affecting him at all was strange enough. As much as he said he would Fall, if this was what it felt like to be human, then he'd take that back. He just wanted this to be over already ( Read more... )

Castiel has never had a picnic before, but the weather was beautiful and he was in a very good mood. Of course, it wasn't your ordinary picnic, however: He'd ordered a lot of food from Las Manantas and was willing to share. There were beverages too, and a blanket was laid out on the ground because it wouldn't actually be a picnic without a blanket ( Read more... )

Cas was in way over his head yet again, but at least this time it was a little less damaging than consuming souls. A little. Okay, so it was just as important. He couldn't tell Balthazar by text message about what had just happened. He had taken a little time to try to calm down before messaging him at all ( Read more... )

Balthazar understood he screwed up with Brigid. He wasn't very good when it came to the important emotions because they were hard and messy and things he generally sought to avoid which is why he usually sabotaged. He suspected he'd also pay for not putting a bid on her during the Valentine's Day auction, but he had seen Brigid's name and wasn't ( Read more... )
