srs2012 | Bonus Round 2

Talk to me, talk to me, like lovers do...

Bonus Round 2 is now open! This time, the theme is speech only. Entries should consist entirely of speech, although this can include script format.

If you have an idea for something you’d like to see, please leave a situation, the characters involved and any other details as a PROMPT below. Then read through everyone else’s prompts, and leave a FILL for any which catch your eye. Fills can be in any media, and they need not be long, but please put a little effort in – if anyone starts spamming this post for points, we’ll be able to tell.

You should place PROMPT/FILL, your team name and a brief summary in the comment title. NSFW prompts and fills should mention this in the summary or at the top of the post. Please note that NSFW includes any level of sexual content.

You will be awarded five points per prompt for the first two prompts you leave. The first three fills posted for each prompt will receive 15 points, the next three 10 points, and the next three 5 points. Prompts with ten or more fills will no longer receive fill points.

You can post prompts or fills for any ship this round, including gen/platonic ones (which should be indicated with an & as above). However, you may not fill your own prompt. We also encourage people not to fill prompts from their teammates, although the points will not be deducted if you do.

Bonus round fills can include links provided they are publicly viewable. Works can also be cross-posted to other websites, as there is no anonymity requirement in bonus rounds. However, works posted directly to comments will be limited to 16,000 characters by the Dreamwidth comment limit. Longer works should therefore be divided between multiple comments.

Remember, Team Chuck can participate in bonus rounds. Please note that only two prompts will receive points this round, although you can leave more if you wish to.

Edit: This round is now closed. No further points will be awarded.

A/N: This turned ship-if-you-squint, I'm sorry ^^; what a lovely prompt though <3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please. I know you’re there. I can hear you. Laughing.

(Is that...?)

(Yes.)

(Didn’t Daddy teach him not to crash parties he wasn’t invited to?)

(Since when have any of Father’s children done as He asked?)

(Why are we sent to our dark room while little birds can sing of free will? Now we’re out I want a party.)

(This is the party.)

(But he’s here.)

(Well he can’t be a guest. But a party needs other things. Food. Games.)

Please.

(Games huh?)

(Enjoy yourself.)

What’s this now, a little bird? Poor little bird with his wings clipped. That worm you were pecking for a little bit bigger than you imagined?

Why are you doing this?

Doing what, little bird?

Keeping me here. Making me... watch.

(Did you hear that?)

Where are you?

(He thinks we’re keeping him like a pet.)

Come back!

(Why shouldn’t we? It’s a pretty cage we have. Cramped, but-)

(No you’re not listening. Music’s playing but your dance is off-beat. Words sounding, no electric in your brain, listenlistenlistenlisten!)

(What am I listening to?)

(The angel wants to die.)

(Then convince him to.)

What do you want, angel? It was always about what you wanted, wasn’t it? We wanted a feast. A party. Daddy didn’t let us, but we’re out now. It’s always best to be late for your own party.

...

What do you WANT, angel?

I don’t want to see.

That’s not what you want that’s what you don’t. You don’t want to see but do you want to be blind?

I...

You want to be gone. You want to be dead.

No.

No, perhaps you want to be alive. More alive. Perhaps what you really want to see isn’t nothing... perhaps you want to see more.

No, please. No.

Perhaps you want to see every feather of every wing your hands have ripped. Every strand of every grace you’ve torn out. Every face of every sibling that lies at your feet.

You –

Us? Sometimes. Not always though. Some of them, they’re on you. Don’t pretend you had clean hands when you let us stream in to you. We wouldn’t have liked you otherwise.

Brother.

Isaac?

I’m surprised you remember me. I was almost an afterthought, the way you threw your blade into my chest.

I didn’t want to.

But you did, Castiel.

Rachel, I-

Right in the back, Cassie, I thought I meant more to you than that.

No. Not you.

Well you’re right there. How could it be me? You killed me.

(What was that?)

(A... laugh.)

Do you find the pain you’ve caused funny, little bird? Perhaps we’re more alike than you thought.

That’s not what’s funny. There’s nothing funny. Except you’re not Balthazar. You’re not my brother and you’re not my conscience. You’re the voice of the abominations my Father cast out of creation and you have just made your worst mistake.

Oh, little bird?

You’ve given me exactly what I needed. If there was one voice I had to hear, one person who could bring me back from the edge of letting go, forever... it’s him.

He’s dead because of you.

Yes. Yes he is. And to join him without first paying penance, well. That would be insulting. If I ever see him again I want to be able to look him in the eye and the first thing I’ll say is...

...what will you say, little bird? That you’re sorry you drove a blade through his ribcage?

Yes. And that I fought the monsters from the inside out. And that I won.

You want to die? We’ll kill you. We’ll kill you right now. Break your wings and crumble your faith and drink your grace like wine.

You won’t. You can’t.

You’ll wish we could, angel, when you watch all we have planned for your home.

I’ll fight.

We’ll destroy you.

I’ll take you with me.

We’ll burn you out like the infection you are.

I’m not going anywhere.

We’ll make you claw at your flesh until your grace leaks out in blood.

And all the while you’ll be giving me exactly what I want. Endurance for my sins. A death more honourable than I deserve. Every chance to drag you alongside.

You can’t possibly. You’re a creature without hope.

You’re right. But I’m a creature with faith.

Aksjd, yes, this is perfect!
