Rating: Adult for series as a whole.
A/N: Dark Angel/Supernatural X-Over, part of a 'verse (here). Something else crosses over after Alec. Thank you, [livejournal.com profile] poisontaster, for offering your read-through services before 10 am.



It's a full moon night, a blue aura around every star and streetlight. Her light.

He thought, lying in the damp leaves with painpainpain in his neck and Max running away from him, he thought his Lady had left him. He had ached in his heart and he had doubted, but he hadn't surrendered, even as Lydecker bent and felt his pulse, even as he realized that his legs were dead at his hips.

Then Lydecker rose and walked away from him, barking out orders that swam away into darkness. Silence.

Waiting. He expected the knife and the searing overhead flureoscents, the body bag, the anonymous pyre.

Instead there came her light, her light, blue and sweet and painless. He was worthy, she was pleased, she spoke his name like a bell that swelled out the bitter world...

And then, he was here. He is here, crushed to the muddy ground with his weariness. He feels well-used, cleaned and returned to the sheath like a favorite weapon. The sky is clear above him, its scattered white stars just like the ones he saw with Max. He studies them, burning them into his disc-drive memory as he flexes his toes and then his ankles. The muscles move as they should, without pain, and his joy is fierce. He smiles up at her, and he knows she is watching even before he hears air rustling through wings.

"Ben," someone says, a stern low voice that would shatter Ordinary eardrums.

His name. Ben curls his fingers around it like a familiar gun.

Kipping up in one smooth move, blurring-fast for the uncomplicated fun of it, Ben turns his face towards the messenger. Her creature, just like him. They are a unit without betrayal, only the worthy to serve.

The messenger burns silver, but within that glory, Ben can see the form: a slim human male, a worn suit. A tie.

"She sent you for me," Ben says, brimming with pride.

It tilts its head minutely. "Yes," the angel says. "We have work for you."

Ben smiles.

Oh my goodness, Ben! Nothing says fanatical warrior like Ben and you captured it perfectly with this returned to the sheath like a favorite weapon.

Oh gosh PERFECTION. Ben and Castiel would be a deadly combination with their faith (y'know, except for the batshit crazy) ... *dies a little at the fucking hotness*

how the *hell* did I miss this series? well, thankfully I got caught up - things are really getting interesting, aren't they? I can't wait to see when Ben & Castiel meet-up with John, the boys and Alec

have I mentioned lately how much I love your brain?

[identity profile] thatotherperv.livejournal.com 2009-05-29 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
ah, I love it when crossovers slot things together in a way that just *fits*. also, I caught up on this verse a while back and I loved the interaction between Alec and John. cuz you know...John thought he had his hands full with *Sam*.

Who's Ben? Is he a character from Dark Angel, or did I maybe miss a chapter somewhere?

I'm comment hijacking, don't mind me.

Jensen Ackles played two characters on Dark Angel. The first time he appeared, he played Ben. Ben was a serial killer who killed priests to make his goddess (the Virgin Mary, aka "The Blue Lady") stronger. At the end of the episode Max snaps his neck. The powers that be liked Jensen's performance so much, they decided to bring him back the next season despite his character being dead. So they created Alec, Ben's twin, who was happily very much alive. *g*

Ben as a warrior for God. A truly scary prospect!

Oh my, oh my, oh my! The plot thickens!! :)

*flails* Okay so I saw that you had posted this right before I had to go to work and I spent all day happily knowing that this was waiting for me. Then when I got home I waited so this would be the last thing I read before I went to bed because I freakin' ADORE this crossover. Alec is quite possibly my favorite fictional character ever, so anytime my favorite smartass is combined with my favorite siblings, I'm a very happy camper. This was definitely worth the wait. Ben's POV is so wonderfully unique. I love how it drips with religous imagry. You can practically see the Blue Lady Filter he views the world with. I especially like the idea of him being a weapon being sheathed. And CASTIEL! Seriously dude, you're breaking me here. I can't possibly read this much awesome in one sitting. This crossover makes me so very happy. *g*

The icon's as close as I can get, at the moment, to Ben.

Ben got short shrift. Alec was nummy, but I always wanted more Ben. Thanks for giving him back--and in tandem with Castiel, working for his Blue Lady? Boy will be a true force.

Ooooooh, I'm so stoked you made a new entry on this series!!! And Ben! And Castiel! I'm incoherent but happy :)

omg yay! I don't know why, but I felt compelled to dig into this series out of order b/c BEN IS IN THIS ONE! And Ben meeting Castiel... well that's just perfect, isn't it?

Hee, well done! I feel like clapping my hands. *clap, clap, clap*

Sweetie,

I made a couple of little presents for you over in my lj. I hope you like them even half as much as I enjoyed getting caught up on your wonderful stories that I based it on.

We Have Work for You

*hugs*

I'm sick, I'm tired, and I should be sleeping, instead you're getting me caught up in the worlds in which you write. I should be mean but instead I'm just going to say wonderful work I hope my stuff can be half as good as yours one day.

Alright Ben!

Now I'm excited to see if he gets sent back to retrieve Alec or something like that!

I do love Ben's devoted faith but I wish it didn't mean he had to sacrifice people to practice it. *sighs*

Nicely done with the wording.

Woah this verse is awesome.
