Fic: The Heavens Murmur Your Name, SPN, Dean/Castiel

[moonlettuce]

Title: The Heavens Murmur Your Name
Author: Claire
Pairing: Dean/Castiel
Rating: R
Summary: Castiel's lips write language against Dean's flesh
Notes: Originally written for the following prompt in comment_fic: SPN, Dean/Castiel, speaking archaic languages.

Neither of them bother turning on the light as they stumble through the motel room door, the flickering neon of the sign outside the window illuminating the world in shades of blue.

"Cas, Cas, Cas--"

Castiel's name is a mantra as Dean reaches for him, sealing their lips together as Dean pushes Castiel's coat off his shoulders to pool at their feet. Dean tastes like ashes and smoke, like blood and sweat. He tastes like a chance given to Castiel by a demon he is beginning to understand more and more, kinship given to them by the simple fact of them both loving a Winchester.

Castiel can still see it, if he closes his eyes. Demon coming at Dean, too close and too fast and too far away from Castiel, until Ruby had come from nowhere, blade moving and eyes meeting Castiel's for a brief moment before she turned back to the fight.

But Dean is still here, whole and alive, and Castiel will defend Ruby to the entire Host because of that, if he must.

"Cas--"

Dean's voice brings him back to the present, fingers in his hair as Dean tries to tug him closer, the frown when Castiel pulls out of his grip quickly morphing into a grin as he slides gracefully to his knees.

"Hell, yes--"

Castiel leans forward as he pushes Dean's shirt up, tongue darting out to run along the shallow groove where a demon's knife had come too close.

Fingers card back through his hair as Dean tries to get him to move.

"C'mon, Cas, you're killin' me here--"

And Castiel knows what Dean wants, hard and hot and straining against his jeans. Knows what Dean wants and ignores it as he continues to map Dean's body with his tongue, as his hands pull at Dean's clothes, torn and bloody and beyond saving.

He murmurs words against Dean's skin as he undresses him, fingers pressing into Dean's hip as Castiel's lips write language against flesh. Words not spoken in millennia, unheard outside of Heaven, sink into Dean's skin, branded into his soul by Castiel's touch. And when the final words have flowed across Dean's skin, a benediction written in fire, Castiel looks up at Dean, beaten and bloody and glorious, and finally, finally, takes him inside.

Oh jesus christ, this is so beautiful. SO BEAUTIFUL. Your last lines floor me...GUH ♥

Thank you so much for writing this ♥

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

::grin:: Thank you!

[realpestilence.livejournal.com]

I love the whole thing...the last paragraph being especially beautiful. I like how Castiel feels kinship with Ruby now, because they both love a Winchester. :)

I blame pandarus for the entire Castiel&Ruby=BFF thing ::grin::

[realpestilence.livejournal.com]

I blame Pandarus for much of my Castiel/Dean kink wishlist. :D


I'm hoping desperately she writes a sequel to The Stars Threw Down Their Spears...I rec that to everyone.


It does make sense that Ruby and Castiel would bond in some way, if neither of them are extreme asses. They're both otherworldly beings away from home, in human bodies, with powers...and in love with humans. With 2 very difficult, stubborn, lovable humans, no less! :D

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

It totally makes sense! I love the entire thought of a Castiel-Ruby road trip (Pandarus's fault, again).

I kinda want the two of them to say sod it and road trip, killing demons along the way while Sam and Dean follow them.

[realpestilence.livejournal.com]

Road trip away from, or road trip following Sam and Dean? They'd need to have a very strong reason to leave their boys, and their tasks. *frowns*


Castiel and Ruby in their car, bickering and bonding as they go. And Sam and Dean in the Impala, doing the same. Mirror scenes! *rotfl*


They'd better get separate rooms when they're all re-united, what with the yelling at each other, and then the enthusiastic mattress-pounding that'll be going on...:D

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Away from them. Castiel would be all, you've got to stop this seal from breaking in {somewhere across the country} and then Sam and Dean would argue about how to do it and just keep arguing. And Cas and Ruby would get fed up they'd be all 'sod it, let's just do it ourselves' and get in Ruby's car and start driving. And Dean and Sam would be all 'Bwuh? Where'd they go?' and have to follow them. And on the way Cas and Ruby would get into adventures and Sam and Dean would just keep missing them whenever they arrived in a town.

Okay, I may have thought about that a little too much ::g::

[realpestilence.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...Even if they didn't agree on the method of prevention, the guys would be more likely to jump in the car and go, and argue on the way. Unless you intend to make it kind of cracky, it would be more likely that Castiel and Ruby would sneak off to protect their boys from being involved in something that's "too dangerous for mortals".


Sam and Dean, pulling into town afterwards, would have to deal with any fallout from these adventures. Gotta have some tension when they meet up again, after all. This way, you've got endangerment without backup (and disagreeing over who or what constitutes sufficient backup); abandonment issues; overprotectiveness and knowing what's best for their MUCH younger lovers; and then...perhaps fighting together to protect the seal. THEN they'd get to head for the motel and indulge in the aforementioned yelling and mattress-pounding (yay!).

Yeah, I think about this stuff too much, too, and I'm not even writing it. I'm just OCD. *snorts*

[cordeliadelayne]

Oh, that was beautiful. And I loved how you brought Ruby into it too :D

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

::grin:: I totally think Castiel and Ruby should be BFFs ;D

[cordeliadelayne]

Hee. I actually ship Castiel/Ruby, so I totally agree :D

[unbreakableburr.livejournal.com]

Guh.
Lovely.

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

"Castiel leans forward as he pushes Dean's shirt up, tongue darting out to run along the shallow groove where a demon's knife had come too close."
- *shivers* Love this detail =) Makes the situation all the more precious!

"He murmurs words against Dean's skin as he undresses him, fingers pressing into Dean's hip as Castiel's lips write language against flesh. Words not spoken in millennia, unheard outside of Heaven, sink into Dean's skin, branded into his soul by Castiel's touch.

- *combusts* Wow, such beauty here. You've stolen my breath! It all flows so beautifully, much like Castiel's words/tongue do over Dean's skin♥

Have I mentioned I love your work? 0=) Nicely done! *memories*

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[elessae.livejournal.com]

Oh god, the love that Cas has for Dean comes across so perfectly, so profoundly here.

Much needed after 4x20. Thank you so much for the heart-salve.

(Yikes, I hit the wrong button earlier!)
