[Set in Rocket Queen. Dean is [livejournal.com profile] silvr_moonbeams and used briefly without permission but with lots of love. Sam is a NPC.]

Ruby was outside the morning following her confrontation with the newly risen Winchester, waiting for him to leave the room for breakfast so she could talk the other out of following his brother like a lost little puppy. They didn't say a word to each other as he walked past, he just gave her a threatening look that warned her not to try anything nasty. She didn't intend to do anything other than her job, no matter what happened.

The demon let herself in half a minute later. She quickly surveyed the room, expecting to find Sam, but instead there were rumpled sheets and blankets and the sound of running water. By the time Sam exited the bathroom, rubbing at his hair with the towel that would be more modest wrapped around his waist, she was sitting cross-legged and comfortable on his bed, leaning back on her hands.

"That's a good look for you," she said, startling him and smirking as he quickly covered himself.

Sam cleared his throat awkwardly. "Ruby. What are you doing here?"

My naked senses were tingling. )

[For [livejournal.com profile] ninkasa at [livejournal.com profile] girlsofspn. This didn't turn out anything close to what I intended. I blame NaNo, the mini version in this case. Title from Hidden Stories by Seanan McGuire.]

Sam Winchester: the key to the door every believer wanted to open. He was easy. He was the innocent baby brother, the one who always needed protecting no matter what and resented every minute of it. He needed to feel validated, to know what he thought and how he felt mattered. She would give him that, support him, let him be that hero he wanted to be, and even if he didn't trust her now? He would, given enough time, especially when the time came and there was no one else to turn to.

And then there was Dean. Stubborn, belligerent, racist Dean. It was true that he wouldn't be an obstacle for long, but if she wanted to get anywhere with Sam, she needed to get somewhere with Dean. She didn't need as much from him as she did from his brother. He just needed to accept her presence there, accept that maybe there was a chance she could help them out, just like Sam had. When the opportunity to save his sorry ass from an early trip downstairs, she took it. It made an impression on him, just like she expected.

That was also the night her secret came out—well, one of them, and it was an embarrassing one, at least for her. As much as she'd insulted Dean's intelligence, she had made the same stupid mistake he had and sold her soul. It didn't matter why; she was just like him.

Well, at least she could use it to her advantage.

They got it wrong; there was a thin line between lust and hate, and that something electric she felt every time she was near him proved it.

bloodinmyear: (with dean)
Of all the beings that existed out there, the last one Ruby ever expected to befriend was Dean Winchester, demon or otherwise. It just sort of—happened. They started talking and they actually got along. Hell had apparently made the difference between an irritating shortbus and a somewhat endearing companion.

They'd agreed to get together for drinks tonight, so she was waiting at the bar. Hopefully their friendly neighborhood archangel didn't have him in some kind of cuddly deathlock.
