Of Hell and Angels (three drabbles)
Like it says. Three drabbles, about hell and angels, all Supernatural (obviously).
***
Title: take your rest (angels watching over me)
Characters: Lucifer, Michael, vaguely Sam n' Dean
Summary: Lucifer and Michael wait for the end.
Little brother, Michael says, What happened to us?
And he doesn't know, he just doesn't know.
They look across the chasm between heaven and hell and watch their vessels. They're growing up so fast, and the day is coming when they will be needed.
Both angels watch and whisper and shape their chosen ones, and wait for the day when they can walk the earth as brothers again.

Title: isolate and save you (from yourself)
Characters: Dean, Sam(ifer)
Summary: His shoes and heart are keeping time, the war drums and the funeral march.
He's running and his shoes and his heart are keeping time, the war drums and the funeral march all in one.
It's cold but the air burns in his chest and he keeps running, past the men with eyes leaking tar and the ones with wings of fire and the sky above is blue and the moon is a shattered white iceberg floating in it most people think I burn hot but it's actually quite the opposite.
The war drums drive him to the feet of the man in white, and the man smiles Sam's smile and plays Dean the last measure of the funeral march.
***
Title: lies of fire and brimstone
Character(s): Sam.
Summary: The only demons are his own.
Hell is empty.
It's dark and cold, so cold it would take his breath away if he was breathing.
Dean said it was bright and hot and he danced in rooms of blood and bone, drank human suffering from glasses made of ice from the ninth circle. He didn't say anything like that. He wouldn't tell you he liked it in Hell but you knew, you could see it in his eyes-
But there's no dancing for him, no drinking. He's blind, frozen and bound in chains and there is no one.
No one laughs when he tries to scream and chokes on shards of ice and blood. No voices to mock his feeble attempts to free himself from his frozen restraints.
Hell is empty, and the only demons are his own.
