Babel (Cas, Dean, Sam, Gen, G)lexhibitionMarch 29 2010, 10:22:09 UTC
It starts slowly at first, when Castiel reaches for a word and finds it isn't there. He's trying to describe to Dean how to kill a leviathan, and when he feels his tongue stumble he trails off midsentence, baffled

(Come to think of it, this is way more angsty than I'd intended for this party. *headdesk* I fail. maychorian, you can get rid of it if it's not appropriate. BUT THE NEXT WORDS THEY TEACH HIM ARE 'STRAWBERRY' AND 'FLAVORED' AND 'LUBE', OKAY?)
This party has gotten a ton of fic that's more serious than the prompt would indicate, which is odd for comment fic, but also AWESOME. I keep finding beautifully done, sorta heartbreaking little fics that I would add to memories SO HARD if they showed up on my friends page, and this was one of them.
Also: YES. AS SOON AS HE ESTABLISHES THAT CAS IS OKAY, THE FIRST THINK DEAN WOULD DO IS START TEACHING HIM WORDS THAT HAVE NO PLACE IN ANGEL VOCABULARY. :D
So glad you like it! I was thinking about writing crack where Cas reverts to Middle English and Sam has flashbacks to reading the Canterbury Tails, but I went this direction instead. XD
Actually, I think you made the smarter choice. Didn't Cas say (when he first met Dean face to face) that'd it'd been 2000 years since angels'd last been around on Earth? (I am paraphrasing.)
Oh! It's achey and sad and I love how they don't give up on him at all, just start from the basics. He's a clever fallen angel; he'll catch on. And in the meantime, he's got his people, his new family.
Oh, new family. I want this. I want this so much it actually hurts, for them to all have each others backs and just be together for ever and care for each other, and...mm.

DEAN: HDU THIS IS NOT JUST A 'CAR'

You are rapidly becoming one of my new favorite people. I hope that's okay.

I just...I don't have words. Which I guess is an appropriate to this fic.
