one kiss and my soul wanna burn

He falls. It's not nearly so dramatic as he thought it would be, no rain of fire or scourge come to cast him out of heaven. There is only him, pushing Dean Winchester to the ground as the world explodes around them.

He doesn't have time to think about what he's doing -- thought will only come later, after the battle is won and the war is over. Until then, he won't even know that he fell.

For now, though, he holds on, keeping a hand over the man's eyes as the brilliance of God shines out over the Earth.

this was.... wow.

Harsh, and beautiful, and painful.

I have a confession to make: I totally stole that idea from Raiders of the Lost Ark. *g*

Thanks for the comment!

I can definitely see the similarities, but you really made it your own!

Plus if you gotta take inspiration from something, Raiders of the Lost Ark is top of the list! : )

That last line is gorgeous.

Thank you! I must admit, I stole that particular imagery from Raiders of the Lost Ark, but I'm pretty sure Indy won't mind.

pushing Dean Winchester to the ground as the world explodes around them This image just ... haunts me. So perfect.

[theladyscribe]

I have a very specific mental image in my mind of that sequence, so I'm glad it haunts you too. ;)

This is just so atypical, I really love it. And your use of language. *is jealous*

[theladyscribe]

Thank you!

Dude, is that an Obama icon? Can I steal it?

[theladyscribe]

Yes, it is. And you're welcome to it. It's by everydamnthing. They have a few others at the comm, too.

[kira-bouviea.livejournal.com]

Sweet Thanks!

I'll go check out the comm in the morning. I do love me some icons.

Oh wow, this was just so beautiful and the writing is gorgeous. And the fact that it was Bruce inspired only makes it even better, that song is just so perfect now that I think about it. I loved it!

[theladyscribe]

Thank you!

I'd actually written the story and was looking for a title among his lyrics (I've been working on writing a fic for each of his songs), and I came across "Seven Angels," and was like, "Hmm. That works eerily well."

[cordeliadelayne]

Aw, that was really lovely.

[theladyscribe]
