    Summary

    The first time she meets him, he's nothing more than an almost-missed appointment. 

    ~~~

    Dean is silent for a long, tense moment, then he gruffly says, "It's not for banishing the angels. It's to summon them. So, it doesn't—it's not to get rid of 'em, but to draw 'em in." 

    Mitzi can't help but glance up at him at that. His voice is so heavy with so much unexplained pain, and she doesn't understand why, or what angels have to do with it. She knows religion can impact people. She's very aware that it can get complicated, and that it can be a huge source of pain for someone, but Dean sounds grievously wronged, somehow, as if it's a truly personal thing. 

    She pushes through, focusing back on her job, clearing her throat before murmuring, "Well, I guess we all want angels to visit us sometimes." 

    "Just the one," Dean mumbles. 

    "Your guardian angel?" Mitzi asks. 

    Dean breathes out, "Something like that. As close to one as an angel will ever get."

    Summary

    “Put me in the ring,” Matt said. His glasses were cracked like a spider’s web, and in the shifting shadows he seemed to be raising his hackles in disgust.

    “The House doesn’t profit from quick deaths,” said the jailer.

    Summary

    So Jarvis is the one who pulls her up onto her feet, presses a tool into one hand and a book into the other and tells her to create. Tells her that if the numbers and the shapes and images in her mind hurt so bad then she should build them, should give them form so that they can finally leave her alone.

    Jarvis is the one who finally teaches her how to breathe.

    Or

    Toni Stark grows up with the tale of Icarus swirling in the back of her mind. Instead of taking it as a precautionary tale about hubris and overreaching she decides it's more about the limitations of wax.

    Years later when she builds herself wings of her own she makes sure to build them out of better material.

    Summary

    Hannibal Lecter knew his mind well. Or at least he thought he did. But recent regret over killing his not-patient has him thinking otherwise.

    Set vaguely in Season 1, Hannibal Lecter decides instead of winding him up and watching him go, it's far more prudent to kill Will Graham.

    This comes back to bite him in the ass. Or stab him in the chest, as it were.
