SUMMARY: Brooklyn, 1927. The Golden Age of Boxing. Two years ago, light heavyweight champion Dean Winchester and heavyweight champion Castiel Novak had a secret affair. After a scandal tarnished Cas’ name and stripped him of his title, the two parted ways. Now, with a heavyweight tournament on the horizon, Dean aims to up his weight class so he can compete for the title. He finds unexpected competition when Cas comes out of retirement and returns to New York to fix his reputation. Upon their reunion, the two contenders learn that, outside of the ring, some bruises never really heal.
PREVIEW:
He didn’t know how long he’d been asleep when the gentle sound of someone knocking at the front door pulled him languidly back into consciousness. He picked his head up, the now cold washcloth he’d boiled and folded over his forehead sliding off his face in the process. He felt stiffer and more disoriented now than he had when he’d fallen asleep, and a layer of sweat sat atop his skin despite his goosebumps.
The knock came again. Dean moistened his dry lips with his tongue and sat up—and winced when the twisting motion caused a spike of pain in his ribs. He ran his hand down his face, trying to catch his bearings a little, but all it did was exacerbate his wounds.
He hoped someone else would get the door, but the house was quiet, and he remembered that Sam and Jo were both out. It was up to him to tell whoever was knocking to fuck off. He really hoped it wasn’t a reporter looking for a quote.
Yawning and scratching a particularly itchy scab on his chin, he walked to the door, ready to face the music. He ripped the door open to a blast of February’s chill, a colorfully rude demand for the intruder to go away on the tip of his tongue.
He froze when his gaze latched on to Cas instead.
Dean hadn’t remembered having dreams from last night until that very second; but he’d dreamed of Cas in bed with him, running his fingers along every wound until Dean was healed.
Back in reality, Cas looked almost surprised himself, like he hadn’t really expected Dean to answer the door. His face was littered with cuts and contusions, the starkest of which were the angry red strip on the bridge of his nose and the pulsating maroon line on his busted lip. Butterfly stitches were taped to his eyebrow and the bolt of his jaw. A bruise, dark in its center and tapering off to sickly green and yellow, ringed his right eye. A blood vessel had burst in his left eye, staining the white with crimson and muddying the blue of his iris.
Dean’s heart stuttered, knowing he was the one responsible for all of that, knowing Cas was the reason for his pain in return. It was a slap in the face, seeing the evidence of everything they’d ever done to each other in physical form.
Cas’ eyes were big and wet as they took Dean in, but then he blinked, seeming to recover. “Hello, Dean.”
Dean sucked in a breath, filling his hollow chest. It took a while for him to breathe out, for his mind to catch up with what was happening. Cas was there. Dean’s fight or flight instincts kicked in, and he internally debated pushing Cas away or actually hashing this out. After last night, it kind of seemed stupid to maintain the lie that they could ever put each other in the past. It was better to put this to bed once and for all, to face whatever was between them—if anything, even mangled and broken viscera. If it wasn’t too late to save it.
Bracing himself, he opened the door wider and stepped aside. If nothing else, it would get them both out of the cold.

For the OC ask game, how about a 4 and a 12 for Nyra?🥰 I'd love to know how she behaved when she first realised she had a crush on our favorite necromancer 🌱💜
And a 10 and 11 for El ^^ Give me some quirks and aethetic! 😍Pretty puh-lease?🥺
Ayy lovely choices friend, thank you for the ask <3
4. How do they act around a crush?
- So, Nyra's confidence here is her downfall. Let me guide you through her approaching-a-crush process:
1. approach the person
2. say/do something stupid or ridiculous & own it
3. ??
4. profit
Case in point: her first crush was one of her childhood friends. She gets ready to confess and at a public feast, before everyone in DR, tries to kiss her, but the girl didn't reciprocate her feelings because she wasn't into girls & she was understandably put off by this. Nyra wanted the earth to open and swallow her whole.
Her thinking skills shut off for a bit and she hopes to gods the other person finds it endearing. Trahearne did. She told Efut to dig a hole where she will go die if she embarrasses herself around Trahearne (this was pre-first kiss, and Nyra was 19 here.) The hole is still around to poke some lighthearted fun at Nyra and Hearne.
12. How do they show affection to someone they love?
- Physical touch! It's her go to method of showing affection. Think random hugs, hand squeezes and she does this thing where she squeezes your cheeks every now and then as a sign of affection.
10. What is a weird quality that they have (ie their hands are always cold, they’re always hungry, they snort when they laugh, etc)?
- El talks with his hands. Not a normal amount of hand-talking here; think a l o t. He seems to be always lacking sugar in his body, even if 50% of his diet are fruits. He's generally warmer than you'd expect a sylvari to be, cause fire ele, but is still covering himself up head to toe in furs every winter to the point you only see his eyes.
11. What color do they look strikingly good in?
- Warm tones. Reds, oranges, yellows, but bright reds in particular. Also some shades of greens, but his wardrobe is primarily red. Also, dark blue (because of his hair) but he hates blue with a passion and avoids it at all costs.
