    Summary

    Cas came back. But as happy as Dean is about it, things have been... strained. Dean can't find the words, Cas is avoiding him, and Sam's at the end of his rope with the both of them. When they stumble upon a case in West Virginia where people are falling asleep and disappearing, it seems like the perfect opportunity to force some cooperation. It's a milk run. Easy. But with so much repressed, and so many dreams unrealized, Dean and Castiel soon find themselves caught up in something that may finally force them to confront what they've been trying to ignore ever since Cas came back. And who knows - maybe this time, dreams really can come true.

    Summary

    “Just— take my word for it. It’s a thing. The stuff that happens on leap day doesn’t count. It’s like Vegas.”

    Near’s brow furrows. “As in Las Vegas?”

    “Yeah. You know the saying— what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.”

    “But we live in Chicago.”

    “Holy shit,” Mello snaps, “that’s not the point! The point is— it’s— it’s leap day. We can do whatever. It doesn’t count. Are you in or not?”

    Summary

    Mello is demonstrably capable of killing, and has perhaps more reason to want Near dead than anyone else on the face of the earth. They were once rivals, and Near knows a fragment of that resentment lingers even now. She is also likely the only person who could successfully bring Mello to justice, so her very existence is a threat to Mello’s, in a sense. If that weren’t enough, there is the fact that Mello could make a fortune, too, were she to kill Near. There are no shortage of people who would pay a handsome sum to see L’s head on a platter.

    And it would be so simple for her to do it, so easy. She’s had countless opportunities— the two of them alone, Near in all kinds of vulnerable positions, any number of potentially deadly weapons within reach— but she’s never taken one. Despite having every possible motive and every possible chance, Mello has not killed her. On more than one occasion, she’s even protected Near.

    This is how she knows Mello loves her in her way, even if she has not said it aloud. Even if it isn’t enough to make her stay.

    --

    Mello and Near through the years, in love and in agony.

    Summary

    At a carousel inside terminal eight of JFK International Airport, while Mello is standing there waiting for his luggage to tumble down the chute and be paraded past him on a sluggish mechanical belt with a hundred stranger’s bags, a hand closes around the right sleeve of his jacket.

    Summary

    Though Near doesn’t really mind Mello’s tendency towards jealousy, he also doesn’t understand it. There’s no one in the world Near wants the way he wants Mello, no one who matters the way Mello does— he’s everything to Near. There’s no reason for him to feel jealous of anyone else. Near doesn’t get jealous of anyone else.

    Until, one day, he does.
