    Summary

    The cold metal of the gun barrel presses harder into the spot between his eyes.

    “Witnesses aren’t a luxury I can afford, O.X.E,” The Widow muses in fluent English, velvety as a cobra’s dance, strike imminent— she squeezes her thighs iron-tight around his windpipe, heels locked together, the hand clawed in his hair yanking it back, making sure it tilts far back enough for him to get a good, hard look at his executioner. She cocks her head. “So, why do you keep testing me?”

    There’s a multitude of reasons for tracking down a target— suspicious activity, a reason for intervention, a tip-off, a shadow-op, a direct order— All of these are realistic players in this messed up game of chess; this deck of cards he’d been saddled with by his circumstances and all the powers that be, the people who insist he does good so much, he becomes it.

    This particular assassin, however?

    “Morbid curiosity,” Bob answers.

    The gun fires.

    Best to get it inside your head now, Mr. Reynolds. There’s nothing more disarming than a person you would die for.

    Summary

    When pressed upon to mate for a political alliance, Commander Castiel dares to refuse his king. As “I do not wish to mate at all” is clearly the wrong thing to say, Castiel takes the other path and lies. “You must know my affections lie elsewhere, my king.”

    King Michael studies Castiel’s face long and hard. Then, with a nod, he snaps his fingers, pointing to Castiel. “The Winchester omega.”

    “Yes,” Castiel says with no real recollection of who that is.

    The ruse of an unavailable omega works well enough, right up until that omega is no longer unavailable. Then, with what seems to be his entire nation cheering him on toward victory, Castiel must enter the melee to win his mate. Backed by allies, training, and his own natural talents, the only question is how well he can contrive to fail.

    Summary

    Brittle and battle-worn, Cas looks at him over coffee one morning and says, "I need to go," and Dean instantly knows that he's not coming back. 

    He's not really sure how he knows it, but he does. It settles into the pit of his stomach, curling hot and tight like something he instinctively wants to tear out with his bare hands. He takes a breath, and it gets stuck in his throat, hitching there. It hurts, hurts, hurts when he finally exhales. 

    "Yeah," Dean says, "of course you do," and he nods jerkily as he looks down at his phone. He doesn't say goodbye. He doesn't look up from the screen when Cas gets up and leaves the room. He doesn't finish his coffee, or move for a long time. 

    By nightfall, Cas is gone.

    “What else was I supposed to say, Sam?” Dean asks him. “I’m not...look, Cas is my best friend, and I care about him. That’s it.”

    “And you renovated a house for him,” Sam continues. “And live with him.”
