Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me*

Ex-bloody-hausted. Spent most of the word count writing in a flashback of Chip with Steve, which was supposed to be a happy, cuddly one until it took a nosedive for angstapalooza with the whole we know Steve's dead bit.

Plot is moving along plottily, and soon it'll be zombie time, followed by angst.

I am so tired.

"It is innocent blood." Icarus turned to Chip, an earnest look on his face. "They understood what was asked of them. They gave it willingly."

"I get that," said Chip, his eyes on the bloodied design. "I don’t like it, but I get it. These are the wards you set up."

"Some of them, yes."

"They're going to keep us safe?"

Icarus' face did something strange at that question. It smiled, which was unusual enough already, but the smile was also a strange one, its edges turned down and sad like a grimace or a crying mouth. His voice, when he spoke, held the same laughing sad quality.

"This is where I am supposed to lie."

*LOVES THIS SO HARD* How is it that Icarus is this completely own character, but still reminds me of Cas? The answer is: you're made of awesomeness. Ha! ♥

*cuddles you into sleep* *pets you softly*

completely own character, but still reminds me of Cas - \o/ Success! Oh squee, thank you! (What I'm going for is sticking 4x01 Cas - fresh from heaven and all head-tilting at humans, into The End Cas's shoes.)

And of course, that line about lying, and his face's description, was totally based on Cas' utter failure at lying in Swan Song.

I am now 7 500 words behind where I should be. OMG.

I mean, YAY, I'M HAPPY YOURS IS GOING SO WELL! :D

LOL. Off to put on my writing cap for a few hours! This is going to be a weekend of catch-up.
