Caroline

One day you will come home.

Your husband will look at you with anxiety through the tears in his eyes, and you won’t know whether he will forgive you, but you will hope. His tender embrace on the doorstep will give you that much.

In the days to come, you will wonder about that damaged angel, Castiel, and what he will do now he’s all alone. Sometimes, as you rebuild your broken life, you will remember Hannah. You will feel anger for her theft of a year, but take comfort from knowing that through you, an angel learned to love.

Title: Death Warmed Up
Words: 77

Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the damndest of them all?

Dean stares into the glass for a long time. His skin is too pale, nothing looks right.

What does the mirror see?

Nothing. The damned.

Cuts that don’t bleed. Bruises with the lividity of several days dead on a man still walking and talking and desperate to feel alive.

Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the deadest of them all?

Dean thinks it might be him.

On another note, I totally called Rowena as Crowley's mum the minute she opened her mouth and that Scottish accent came out. I'm gutted they revealed it so quick! LOL
Hannah! Damn. I guess this means we won't see her in that form again and I really liked that actress.  I was thoroughly engaged with that whole episode, most enjoyable. But did you notice how different Dean's injuries were compared to Cole? Hence the drabblette.

I love those two drabbles, they totally engage two of the most interesting strains of story depths of the whole episode! Especially Dean, gosh, what's that boy gonna be up to!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Deeeeeeeaaaannnn! Yeah, it's not looking good for our boy....

Thanks for reading!

[mangacat201.livejournal.com]

My pleasure. Btw, did you change change your username? Cause I'm confused.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Yes yes! It was brought to my attention that my username that I use everywhere else was now available here so I nabbed it!

[mangacat201.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhhhhhh... well then, congrats!

Lovely drabbles, the Dean one especially :).

I have to admit, I called Rowena as being Crowley's mother before the role was even cast :P. The casting call was for: "the new recurring role of Rowena, a tough but elegant woman who will stop at nothing to reclaim her power base. Actresses who have or can perfect a Scottish accent are preferred." We had just seen Gavin in the show and we know Crowley's mum was a Scottish witch, so it made sense that it would be his mum.

I thought Rowena's Scottish accent was really weird in this episode though - it sounded forced, like she was toning it down, but also enunciating more for the US audience.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Ah well it's interesting you should say that about Rowena's accent, because that is exactly what the actor who played Gavin said he was told to do - which explains why it sounds so false to us Brits.

Wonderful drabbles! You nailed both of them. And I especially enjoyed the ending of Caroline - very poignant and bittersweet.

And yes Dean's injuries did look less fresh to Cole's, and I liked how you explored that in your drabble. Yikes, poor Dean!!

Thanks for sharing :)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm wondering if that was deliberate, and I hope it was (kind of!)

[zara-zee.livejournal.com]

Eek. Death warmed up. That's actually...quite disturbing. And you're so right about the damage to Dean's face. It didn't look 'fresh'. Ugh.

And yep, the minute Rowena had a Scottish accent, I called that one too! ;)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

It's a common saying here, usually people say it when they have a cold - eh, I feel like death warmed up... Do they not say that in AussieLand?

[zara-zee.livejournal.com]

Yes we say this too. I thought it was disturbing in the context...Dean as Dead Man Walking, his body healing in strange, sluggish ways, because post-demonhood he's actually just some slightly more animated form of dead. Gave me shivers...

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Oh that's cool, thank you! :D

[tifaching.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, Dean. Past saving and you know he means it. :(

Rowena as Crowley's mum didn't even occur to me. I have no idea why...

I did not notice how different Dean's injuries were than Cole's. Guess I gotta watch again. Darn.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I was captivated by that Cole, Dean and Sam scene - so powerful!

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Powerful stuff, both of these!
I hadn't noticed the difference between Dean and Cole's injuries - mind you it was 7 am this morning when I watched it, and I'm not most observant at that time.

Good excuse to watch it again!

And I agree with you - Hannah was growing on me, I'm kinda sorry she's left Caroline.
(Plot hole alert? If Caroline was so desperate to go back to her husband, couldn't she have just expelled Hannah - I thought that was the deal with Angels? ... But then it was only 7 am!)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I wondered whether she'd said yes initially so her cooperation was kind of ongoing - though some of what Hannah was saying seemed to indicate it might not be taken for granted...

[sophiap.livejournal.com]

Oh, Dean...

These are lovely, and a very satisfying sort of sad and dread-filled.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[frozen_delight]

I love both drabbles, particularly the last one. O God Dean!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Dean is so good at breaking our hearts...

I liked Hannah and I'm sorry she's gone, but as you said she learned to love and understand humans through Caroline and did the right thing in giving her back her life.Poor lonely Cas though!

I noticed that Dean's injuries looked odd and your drabble has pointed out why - he mark is still with him and affecting him. Dean, the damndest and deadest of them all - and the fairest!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Well I don't know if I'm right, but it just looked strange to me and this seemed the likeliest reason. It's a theory that will probably be Carvered later on!

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

It makes sense to me, Dean still bears the Mark so I guess he can't be killed easily and his healing may also be affected. it's going to get very interesting I think, lots of lovely angst!

[emmatheslayer.livejournal.com]

these are good I like Hannah too I liked her and cas she looks like a female cas lol I was really sad for Dean bout the hole thing with cole I did not connect the dots with crowleys mom I mean I should have seen it lol I ws a bit shocked will love to see how this plays out

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm really interested to see where they go next!

[xlittleangx.livejournal.com]

Lovely drabbles. I really enjoyed Hannah's character and her interactions with Cas, so somewhat sad to see her go but it was a nice way to end her story. I hadn't twigged Rowena was Crowley's mother (I blame lack of sleep) but I wasn't surprised by it either. Should be interesting. She's another strong actress so hope she sticks around for a while to cause trouble for the Winchesters with her son.

Nice observation on Dean's injuries, I need to re-watch and see that for myself. Our poor boy :( I agree that whole scene with Cole and Sam was very captivating, even if I think they wrapped it up fairly quickly again...it is only episode 7 after all...is that the last we'll see of Cole already?!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Rowena is coming to A14 now, so's Hannah! I'm really hoping that they haven't done and dusted both Cole and Hannah this early, though I can't see how they can bring Hannah back in the same body if she does return, which is a shame.
