drabblewriter , and you're still stuck with me as your host. ^_^ Today's theme is rare pairings. Every fandom has that one OTP (or two or three) that everyone seems to ship, but what about all those other possibilities? Today is the time for these little-known couples to shine. ♥
Don't forget to follow the rules:

Every fandom has that one OTP (or two or three) that everyone seems to ship, but what about all those other possibilities? Today is the time for these little-known couples to shine. ♥Don't forget to follow the rules:
- Post no more than three prompts per fandom and no more than five prompts in a row. If someone fills a prompt, you're more than welcome to post some more prompts later in the day.

Date: 2010-07-06 08:02 pm (UTC)Why? | Supernatural, Dean/Henriksen, Henriksen survived
Date: 2010-07-21 02:36 am (UTC)By the time they get there, the poltergeist has been exorcised and everybody is talking about the creepy man who did it.
The brothers investigate. They track the Hunter to a dodgy motel a few towns away. They prepare for the worst, expecting to find one of Gordon’s flunkies.
Instead, they find Hendriksen.
His face is badly burnt and his right eye is a milky white, but he’s still recognizable. Sam and Dean are shocked. They don’t let their surprise stop them for long. Dean lunges at him, silver knife in hand, while Sam yells an exorcism and douses them both in holy water.
Hendriksen stares at them, his one working eye sad and asks the question they don't want to answer. "Why?"

Date: 2010-10-19 06:46 pm (UTC)Perhaps she'd been ignoring him on purpose. Things had been awkward since she'd returned, and they hadn't managed to fall into that easy comfortable space they'd shared before she'd left. It had been easier to pretend they'd never been an item, never relied on each other for comfort and protection. Now, though, she couldn't ignore the dark smudges under his eyes, the deep lines of exhaustion and... yes, pain. She wanted to, now more than ever, but she couldn't.
"What can I do?" she asked, keeping her voice soft and low, touching his arm to tie her voice to her physical presence. Remind him she was right there, and strong enough to take his burden if he needed her to.
Eliot looked through her for a moment, before focusing on her face, and Sophie wondered if the only thing keeping him on his feet was his need to hide his vulnerability from her. She'd withdrawn her protection - and she was ever more sure that Nate hadn't stepped in to fill the space while she had been gone - and now Eliot wasn't going to let himself appear weak in front of her.
"I'm alright, Sophie." Eliot smiled in an absent way. "I'm jus' gonna wander around a bit, then I'll get some sleep," he wavered again, as if he was thinking of moving towards the door but couldn't persuade his feet to move. Sophie didn't need to have shared his bed for the last few months to know he'd barely slept at all since Nate had been taken. She knew the signs well enough, and as much as these things with Eliot usually settled themselves once the cause was removed, there was no way Eliot was going to survive as long as it took to get Nate back without sleep.
She firmed up her grip on his arm, making it supportive, adding a little extra force into her words when she said, "You're going to go to bed now." There was nothing subtle about it, and no real trickery other than taking advantage of Eliot's subconscious desire to follow orders.
Eliot sighed, "I'm pretty damn tired," he agreed, as if he'd made the suggestion himself.
He let himself be led to Sophie's bed, let Sophie help him out of his boots and his coat, but pulled away when Sophie reached for his shirt. He cleared his throat uncomfortably and shifted on his feet for a minute before heading towards the other bed and dropping bonelessly into it, fully clothed. He was snoring minutes later.
Sophie watched him sleep for a little while, feeling the dark pit in her stomach that had been there since Tara had phoned her to ask her to come home, churn unhappily. This would work when Eliot was on the edge, truly exhausted, but she needed something that would be more effective with him the rest of the time. He needed more sleep, and he wasn't a man to take suggestion lightly.
When she got home, it was time for some research. If brainwashing was what it took... well, maybe Eliot would thank her later.
