Warnings: violence, PTSD (both main characters are WWI veterans) - includes some flashbacks to war scenes, one main character is permanently/heavily disfigured/scarred, minor characters dying left and right/killed in cold blood, since both main characters are hitmen. Blood on people's hands (literally and metaphorically). Mentions that both main characters had fleeting suicidal thoughts in the past.
Summary: 1921: Dean Winchester and Castiel Milton are two WWI veterans meeting by chance at a hospital. Dean, works for an alcohol smuggler for whom he does small/dirty business. After Castiel helps Dean with his current assignment, he ends up working alongside him for good. Neither of them is completely fine with it but when the only thing you're trained to do is kill people, there's not much of a choice.

A/N: written for the first round at
dc_dystopia; this is partly based on Boardwalk Empire, or better, on the specific storyline regarding Jimmy Darmody and Richard Harrow. (This mostly was based on some S1 material, but I haven't used other plot elements from the show beyond some details after the first meeting.) Thanks so very much to
