Indeana Jones and the Tear of Pele

My fic for the Dean/Cas Reverse Bang 2024 that I've been pouring my heart and soul into for the last few months.

Art by Aggiedoll

Castiel POV

"So…," Dean bridged the gap of their sudden silence. "What's on your bucket list?"

"What?" Castiel asked, wondering what would happen if he simply gave in to his fingers' itching desire to reach out and slide over Dean's arm. Now that he'd gotten another brief taste of it, the urge to feel, to sense, to touch was so much harder to rein in, lighting up the nerves in fingertips that were his alone again after all the time he'd spent locked into his own mind without any control over this body.

"Not in general," Dean clarified nothing whatsoever. "I sure hope you ain't gonna kick the bucket any time soon. Or, like, at all. I just mean while we're here."

Castiel had to admit that standing so close to Dean really impacted his ability to focus, celestial being or not. He could only make half a sense out of this string of words. If he didn't know any better, he'd think Dean was covering some kind of nervousness with the way he kept interrupting himself by adding more sentences. Only that there was no discernible thing for him to be nervous about. There was nothing but them and the open sea.

Dean POV

The frog chirped and hopped away with one long leap. Running on intuition more than any logical reasoning, Dean pushed aside the fern that the animal had disappeared behind, uncovering an opening in the ground. He pulled out his phone and activated the flashlight, shining down into what seemed to be a steep, narrow tunnel leading down into pitch black.

He hated narrow fucking tunnels. A small part of his brain still seemed to be functional enough to have his phone send Sam his coordinates with a brief 'Just in case'. Then he stowed the device back in his pocket and covered his face in his hands, dreading what came next.

Cas, he reminded himself. He was doing this to get Cas back.

Excerpt from Chapter 21 under the cut

The knowledge that she didn't even have her magic to fall back on if something went awry this time was a grasp of coldness in her neck. These corridors matched the ones from her memory far too closely for comfort, whispering of how helpless she'd been during the frenzied run for her life back then. How she was even more helpless now, without her powers. Nobody had made any attempt to disarm her, and she was glad for it, lifting the angel blade a little higher in a semblance of safety.

She sensed a lingering gaze on her and looked up from her morose thoughts to be met with Sam's eyes, softening at whatever he'd seen on her face. It should probably worry her how proficient he'd gotten at reading her—that she'd even allowed anyone close enough to be able to. But when dimples appeared on his cheeks in the shadow of a smile, she couldn't find it in herself to listen to that worry.

This—this thing between them was new territory for her. Loath as she was to admit ignorance, she didn't have the slightest idea how to handle it. After the centuries she'd lived, there weren't all that many things left that still had the ability to throw her for a loop like this.

Hold Me Close: Chapter 1/3

Summary: Dabi first heard his soul song when he was seven, the song only his soulmate would know. The song they would share.

The first time he heard someone else singing it, it was Pro Hero Hawks singing it. The spy who claimed soulmates didn’t exist. How will Dabi convince him to stay? To be his one and only?

(Plus: Prologue featuring Rei Todoroki, and the words Touya never forgot.)

|Warnings: domestic and child abuse in this chapter|

Touya flitted around the traditional mansion. Today was his seventh birthday, the day he first heard the song he shared with his soulmate. Excitement coursed through his veins as he searched for Endeavor.

He slid toward the training room and flung the door wide open. He froze, his mom was clutching her stomach on the floor, His replacement-Shoto, was puking his guts out in the corner, bright red burns covering both his arms. Endeavor stood above both of them, flames towering high. Endeavor turned toward the open door, anger consuming his face with ugly flames as he looked down with disgust at his oldest son.

“Get out, Touya!” He shouted, kicking Rei as she struggled to stand up.

“B-but, it's my birthday…” Touya said, stepping back from the monster that could not be his dad.

“YOU NEGLECTED OUR SON TO MESS WITH MY TRAINING!” Endeavor roared, pulling Rei up her throat, her legs kicking empty air. His voice lowered to a menacing growl as pulled Rei close. “You will remove Touya from my presence and resume your duties as mother.”

Endeavor dropped Rei and she ran out, Pulling Touya by the hand with her. She got as far as the courtyard before she broke down crying on the concrete. Touya awkwardly hugged her, and she sat up to pull him onto her lap, sobbing quiet apologies into his almost all white hair.

“I’m sorry, Touya, I’m sorry. I forgot, you shouldn’t have seen that.” She dried her eyes and forced a smile onto her face as she looked at her little boy with frightening blue eyes. “What do you want to do for your birthday? Have you heard your song yet?”

Touya forced himself to smile back at his mother, to help her forget the trauma of a few moments ago. His small hands clenched the front of her blouse, anxious for her comforting presence.

“Yes, mom. It’s a pretty song.” Touya paused, averting his eyes as he leaned closer to Rei.

“Can you tell me you and dad’s song for my birthday?” Touya asked.

Rei’s smile faltered, her gray eyes dimming as she started to stroke Touya’s hair.

“Your father and I, we aren’t soulmates, Touya. Not everyone ends up with their perfect match. Some just get by, like me and your dad.”

“Do you know who your soulmate was, mom?” Touya asked after some thought. He looked in Rei’s eyes, seeking an answer. Rei moved her hands to cup a nearby Rindou flower, showing it to Touya.

“Her name was Rindou, we were the best of friends. But her family was poor, and so was mine. So I was married to your father instead. I stopped hearing our song years ago.“ Rei said, a deep emptiness in her carefully chosen words.

“Why? Why did the song stop?” Touya asking, stretching out his legs as he held the soft flowers. His mothers favorite flowers.

“When your soulmate dies, Touya, your song stops. Rindou died, and the song ended.” Rei said, holding the soft purple-blue flower to her bosom.

A moment of silence passed, just Touya and his mom, beholding the flowers that meant so much to her.

“Do you remember? The song. “ Touya asked.

“Yes.”

“Will you sing it for me, please?” Touya asked, eyes looking pleadingly at Rei.

“Of course,” Rei said.

“Goodbye, my lover

I never knew you at all

You had the grace to hold yourself

While those around you crawled

They crawled out of the woodwork

And they whispered into your brain

They set you on the treadmill

And they made you change your name….”

Touya laid down, the soft melody a soothing balm to his heart. Sad and sweet, the Rindou flowers seemed to lean closer to Rei with every line, as if embracing her presence.

When the song was over Touya crawled close to his mother, still shielded from his cold home by the purple flowers.

“Do you think I’ll meet my soulmate?” Touya asked, voice soft like the fluttering wind.

“I know you will.” Rei said, pushing Touya back to stare into his eyes.

“Just remember, to hold your soulmate tight and care for them. You only get one, one soulmate in all the world. “ Rei said, booping Touya’s nose.

She stood up and stretched out a hand for Touya, who gazed upward, memorizing every word from his mother’s rare state of clarity.

“Remember to put their needs above your wants, Touya. So they choose to stay with you. “ She smiled sweetly down at her eldest son, seeing the beauty in his turquoise eyes. Touya’s eyes were kind, nothing like his fathers cruel ones.

A loud scream pulled her from her reverie and she reverted into a scared husk. In one moment she grabbed Touya’s hand and walked to the other mansion, away from her husband and wailing youngest son.

Touya stumbled after her, carefully repeating her wise words as his mother’s fearful mummerings took over.

One soulmate. One soulmate to love and protect. Put their needs above my wants, so they will love me back.

Hold them close.
