#Ivy and Rainer
Note
How would your ocs celebrate the holidays?
Ivy: She'd take advantage of the holiday crowds and monitor bioweapon detection systems and patrols while blending in with said crowd
Rainer: He'd spend the day celebrating and running errands with his mom
Syren: She'd spend the morning briefly with her parents and then the rest of her day with Jeffery, Thaddeus or both
Thaddeus: He'd spend the day with his parents and try to get Sy in on it too if he can. If not, he's jumping her with presents asap
Machiko, Taro and Eito: They'd spend some time together making breakfast and just generally being together before Machiko inevitably goes off looking for some Christmas oriented cryptid and the other 2 follow her
Payton and Flower: They don't do much in the way of celebrating but Payton starts giving Flower different exotic meats to try and she eventually starts returning the favour, Despite Payton Very Much Not Wanting Her Too
Jax and Mia: They have a tradition of Mia visiting and the 2 of them hanging out at Jax's place until after new years. Neither of them really celebrated before meeting each other but now they try to make the most of it, doing all the holiday stuff they missed out before

Propaganda
Jeanne Moreau (Jules et Jim, Elevator to the Gallows, The Night)—Oh my. What a career! She's worked with directors from all over the world! Luis Buñuel, Tony Richardson, Bertrand Blier, Elia Kazan, André Téchiné, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Wim Wenders, Amos Gitai, Theo Angelopoulos, Michelangelo Antonioni, Orson Welles, Jacques Demy, Joseph Losey, François Truffaut... She played good and she played evil, Machiavellian and sweet, she could do it all. She's magnetic, her mouth is sensual, her gaze direct and demanding, she's absolutely unforgettable. […] Iconic Jules & Jim scene where she's singing; I picked a link with English subtitles. […] What can I say? She's an ICON, pure and simple. [editor’s note: this was very good propaganda but I had to remove a large amount of it because it discussed her post-1970 career. Please keep your propaganda to items within our window of 1910-1970!]
Abbey Lincoln (Nothing but a Man, For Love of Ivy)—abbey lincoln was an actress, jazz vocalist, songwriter, and civil rights activist; in her acting career she's most noted for starring in nothing but a man, an independent drama about a black couple navigating life in a small town that's been called an important example of american neorealism, and for love of ivy, a romantic comedy co-starring sidney poitier
This is round 2 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

SPN MASTERLIST
Not taking reqs for Supernatural currently cause I’m writing a series for y’all to enjoy!
we could be more | dean winchester (COMPLETED)
Tumblr media
“And promise me… that you won’t blame yourself.”
Summary: Ivonne Rainer was practically a trained killing machine. Stripped to the bone then built back up by her father in order to become one of the best, like he was. She was forced into hunting when she was nineteen, having developed powers that couldn’t be explained. That is, until she was paid a visit by Azazel’s lackey. Her powers were gone, she needed help, and that’s when she found her father’s journal. Pointing to Sam and Dean Winchester.
Prologue | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | FINALE

Tumblr media
Summary: “She’s like you’ve been pistolwhipped.” He bit his lip angrily. “Hits you right in the head and makes it spin. I used to hate it. But now? I’ve turned out like every other guy; had one hit of her and… I’m addicted. So yeah, pretty much.”
PLAYLIST | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | FINALE | Epilogue
𝙳𝙰𝙽𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙾𝚄𝚂 | 𝙳𝙴𝙰𝙽 𝚆𝙸𝙽𝙲𝙷𝙴𝚂𝚃𝙴𝚁
Tumblr media
Summary: Ivonne Rainer hadn’t met Dean Winchester in 2006 after he was hit by a car. No, this time, this universe, they met in 2010, when the whole Apocalypse deal started and Dean was made leader of one of the only remaining survival camps in America. Little did he know, one random raid would change everything.

Lux Interior, Bryan Gregory, Nick Knox & Poison Ivy during The Cramps sessions with Alex Chilton in Ardent studios in Memphis, as captured by Pat Rainer in 1977.
Their acquaintance led them down to Memphis and Sam Phillips’ Sun Studio, the mythical place where Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis had made rock ‘n’ roll history, and to the production of their legendary debut releases, the Gravest Hits EP & the Songs the Lord Taught Us LP.
(pastemagazine.com): “…The Cramps shared Chilton’s musical taste, reveling in underappreciated rockabilly obscurities it takes a musical connoisseur to discover… By the end of the year, Chilton would call the Cramps “the greatest rock ‘n’ roll band in the world…In October, he brought them down to Memphis to produce their first singles (…) As music engineer Richard Rosebrough recalls: “I’ve seen the strangest people walk in and out of the front door of Phillips. When [the Cramps] walked in, I was just sitting in the lobby, and Bryan [Gregory] comes in, dressed in black from head to toe, bleach blond hair over half his face, and he’s wearing this holster strapped to his leg with a real long pistol in it. He walked in the front door, walked right past the desk, on back into the studio. The holster was just, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak. He had bought this brand new leather holster to put this gun in. Brand new leather squeaks. You’ve got to oil it, work with it, settle it in. I thought, ‘What a scene, what a display…’
According to photographer Pat Rainer: 
“I was hanging out, shooting photos. I enjoyed watching Alex being the producer. The Cramps being in Memphis, in the South at that time… I’ve heard people say the way they looked they stopped traffic. But Memphis in the 70s…it was already a weird, wild place, so I think they actually fit in pretty good. They seemed normal. But live and in performance the Cramps were anything but normal. They were really fun.”

OC Interview Meme
I was tagged a while ago by @natsora .  Thank you.
I’ll tag @alyssalenko and anyone who sees this.
I’ve done this before with Kira Ryder & Adam Shepard
Tumblr media
1. What’s your name?  
Marc Daniel Shepard
2. Do you know why you are named that?
*shifts in chair*  I’m an orphan who survived the streets so... no idea.  Next question.
3. Are you single or taken?
Taken.
4. Have any abilities or powers?
I’m a certified Combat Engineer and Explosive Expert with training in assault rifles and pistols.
5. Stop being a Mary Sue.
...Are you serious?
6. What’s your eye color?
Blue
7. How about your hair color?
Black.
8. Have any family members?
*shifts in chair*  No.  Next question.
9. Oh? How about any pets?
I have a space Hamster, Tesla, and some fishes.
10. That’s cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don’t like.
They’re quite a few things I hate, but I’d rather not talk about those.  If I had to mention one, it would be my hate for politics.  Then again, who doesn’t hate politics besides those who always benefit from it?  Especially when they take advantage of those who can’t defend themselves...
11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?
I’m an avid reader.  Name one book and there’s a good chance I’ve read it.  If not, expect it to be added to my list of future books to read during downtime.  I also like to take things apart to see how they work and then put them back together again.  I also enjoy swimming, weightlifting, chess, and watching historical documentaries.
12. Have you hurt anyone in any way before?
Only when I’m forced to defend myself.
13. Ever… killed anyone before?
Unfortunately, it’s part of what I have to do in my line of work.
14. What kind of animal are you?
Not the kind you can put in a cage.
15. Name your worst habits?
Let’s see... definitely putting a lot of hot sauce in my meals.  No, I don’t do that with all my meals, but those MREs we’re forced to eat sometimes definitely deserve the treatment.
16. Do you look up to anyone at all?
I’ve had a few CO’s I’ve looked up to over the years, including Anderson.  All of them have made a positive impact on my life.
17. Are you gay, straight or bisexual?
Straight.
18. Do you go to school?
Not since ICT.  I had to earn my GED after joining the Alliance.  My test scores earned me the opportunity to attend any Ivy League school on Earth, but I chose not to take that path for personal reasons.
19. Ever want to marry and have any kids one day?
Maybe.  If it happens, it’s happens.  If anything, I like the idea of adopting one or two kids and give them the chance I didn’t have.
20. Do you have any fangirls/fanboys?
*Tries not to think about Conrad Verner* Ugh, don’t remind me, please...
21. What are you most afraid of?
*shifts in chair* That’s classified.  Next question.
22. What do you usually wear?
When I’m not in uniform, I’m most comfortable in loose fitting hoodies and jeans.
23. What one food tempts you?
Chilies!  The spicier, the better!
24. Am I annoying you?
...Maybe.
25. Well, it’s still not over!
*Pinches bridge of nose and takes a deep breath*
26. What class are you (low/middle/high)?
I guess middle?
27. How many friends do you have?
I have plenty of friends, but I only keep a few close.
28. What are your thoughts on pie?
I’m more of a cobbler person.  I know they’re relatively the same, but I just happen to like the texture on a cobbler more.
29. Favorite drink?
Definitely coffee.  Also club soda, and bourbon.
30. What’s your favorite place?
I have 3 favorite places.  It’s hard to choose just one.
1) On Earth in Seattle, back when I was living in the streets, I used to climb to the roof of a particular building.  It was tall enough to see a lot beyond the city limits.  The weather’s dreary for most of the year, but whenever it was clear, I take the opportunity to climb up that building and just stare at Mt. Rainer for hours.
2) Believe it or not, space itself.  I never left Earth until the day I was shipped to Arcturus Station to begin my GED courses.  I still remember being in awe of seeing the nebula and all the planets we passed by.  It’s been years, and I still get that same feeling whenever I look out a port side window.
3) I’ve only visited this place twice within the last 10 years, but there’s a quiet spot in Elysium, far from any nearby colonies or cities.  It reminds me of those pictures of the countryside in England.  I camped there for the first time not long after the Blitz.  It’s one of the most peaceful places I’ve ever been to.
31. Are you interested in anyone?
Yes, I am.
32. That was a stupid question…
ಠ_ಠ ...You asked.
33. Would you rather swim in the lake or the ocean?
I actually enjoy swimming very much, so I don’t mind either.
34. What’s your type?
I like someone who is intelligent.  There’s something nice about listening to someone talking about their hobbies and passions in detail and with enthusiasm.
35. Any fetishes?
...Next question.
36. Camping indoors or outdoors?
Outdoors’ more fun... especially right now!

See here, This wreath is so heavy. And they will lay it upon you, This heavy wreath. Can your coffin endure it? If it breaks Under the black weight, Into the folds of your dress Will creep Ivy. Far up will it twine, All around you will it twine...

What scares your ocs? And how do they seek comfort?
A bit long so it's going under a readmore
Ivy: Ivy is scared of failing to protect a bioweapon or civilian. She likes constantly training, upgrading her tech, patrolling regularly and studying the patterns cops take to make sure she's ready for anything
Rainer: Rainer is scared of his powers and the harm they can bring. There's not much he does about it but his adoptive mom tries to calm him down when she can
Syren: Syren is scared that her selective mutism will create a barrier between her and everyone else forever. She's accepted this as an absolute fact but interacting with Thaddeus or Jeffery in any way usually helps her feel better
Thaddeus: Thaddeus is scared of what he did in the past for friendship and the knowledge that he's capable of that kind of hurt. He seeks comfort by talking it out with his family, Carol or Syren and usually feels less horrible by the end
Taro: Taro is scared of losing a family member again. He gets nightmares sometimes and he likes going to check on Machiko and Eito to see if they're ok
Machiko: I'd say that Machiko's fear instinct has basically been fried by this point by the sheer number of dangerous creatures she encounters on a daily basis but she is worried about dying in that her dad will have no one left if she does. Taro being basically adopted by Eito helps to ease that but she takes extra precautions when she can
Payton: Payton's generally scared of a lot of things but a big one for them is that their life is going nowhere and that there's nothing they can do about it. They usually just numb the pain with video games
Flower: Flower is scared of humans but Payton being Like That eases her worries pretty easily
Jax: Jax is scared of what the government told him he's capable of doing and the fact that the government is ready to put him down at the first opportunity. He finds a lot of comfort in Mia's trust in him and finds her presence reassuring
Mia: without going into detail cuz it's dark, Mia had a very hard life up until she cut ties with her family and everyone she knew and she's always scared of people acting in the same manner towards her. She finds comfort in Jax and the extent to which he respects her boundaries. His presence makes her feel safe

New reformation center boosts Tarlac's anti-drug war
#PHnews: New reformation center boosts Tarlac's anti-drug war
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga –The first-ever Balay Silangan Reformation Center in the province of Tarlac was inaugurated on Monday, in line with the government’s continuing campaign against illegal drugs.
Situated in Barangay Danzo, Gerona town, the facility will serve as a temporary refuge for drug offenders to reform them into self-sufficient and law-abiding members of society.
The inauguration ceremony was led by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in Region 3 (PDEA-3) headed by regional director Christian Frivaldo.
Other officials who attended the event include Gerona Mayor Eloy Eclar, PDEA Tarlac provincial officer Joyiann Ivy Cedo, Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) provincial director Belina Herman, Deputy Provincial Director for Administration (DPDA) of Tarlac Police Provincial Office, Lt. Col. Ma. Theresa Pucay and Gerona chief of police Lt. Col. Neil Rainer Mercado.
Frivaldo thanked the local officials of Gerona for their support to PDEA as he urged all local government officials, stakeholders to back the government’s campaign against illegal drugs. 
The Balay Silangan program will be jointly implemented by the municipal government of Gerona and the PDEA.
During the inauguration, a memorandum of agreement was signed by PDEA and local officials for the implementation of the undertaking.
The program is reformatory in nature and is an alternative intervention for drug personalities who are not qualified to undergo medical treatment and rehabilitation in facilities supervised by the Department of Health.
Interventions provided in the program include continuing education and health awareness, and psychological/spiritual/physical activities like counselling, moral recovery, values formation, and personal life skills. Livelihood and skills training are also provided under the program.
Aside from PDEA and DILG, there are other partner agencies tasked to oversee the implementation of the program. (PNA)

“I don’t want to hear it.” I whispered, staring out into the unknown from the front porch of the house we’d taken rest in. “I just don’t.”
Bobby sighed. “You can’t blame yourself for Sam.” 
“I can. I was there. I could’ve killed Jake seconds before it happened had I just let go for a second like I did with Ava. And now? Sam’s dead.”
”You’re deranged, mini. You’ve done the best you can and considering the circumstances, you did a damn good job of it.” 
“Everyone’s dead except that kid Jake who deserves to be ripped limb by limb.” I growled, standing up. “I know I’m gonna see him again. And when I do? Hell, I’m gonna kill him. And I’ll make sure he regrets living before he goes into the fire.” 
“Hey!” He frowned. “Don’t lose yourself in this.” 
“I lost myself in hell, Bobby, I’m long gone.” I seethed. “Every gash, the torture, the watching others being tortured- it eats away at you. Tears you a new one. A worse one, and I loathe how I turned out. I can’t look at my family the same after learning what kind of a man I was born from. What my sister became- heck, what my brother could’ve been. It’s pure pain. Sam was… an out. An amazing, kind, caring out. A way to think about what relationship I could have had with my siblings if they were alive. Now Sam’s dead. I’ve lost that too. That means I’ve lost my fight.” 
“I know you must be feeling helpless.” Bobby appeased, giving me a sympathetic look. “Feel it, feel it all if you can’t help it, but Dean in there? He needs you more than ever.” He started to walk off, but I held his shoulder. 
“Where’re you going?” 
“Dean doesn’t need me anymore. He told me to leave, but you know where I’ll be.” 
“C’mere.” I hugged him tightly, and he allowed me to, thumping my back. 
“You’re a strong kid, mini. It’s not your fault your dad was a coward.” 
“It never will be.” I smiled, then watch him leave. I walked into the house, finding Dean at Sam’s bed. 
“Don’t tell me to bury him.” Dean snapped, his voice breaking. “Don’t tell me to torch him either.”
“I won’t.” I shrugged, sitting down beside him. 
“Then? It was bad enough losing you at first, now Sammy? What are they gonna do, gank Bobby next?” 
“The kid won’t, but Yellow Eyes might.” 
“What d’you mean?” 
“He came to me.” I muttered. “Told me that this was a survival of the fittest deal. Then he said I wasn’t in it.” 
“Son of a… why weren’t you?” 
“He said that I’d rip each and every one of them apart if I wanted to. And god, I wish I’d ripped Jake limb from limb if I’d gotten the chance.” 
“Is that really Ivy talking?” He stood up, and so did I, holding my head. 
“It’s 100% me, Dean. I, cold blooded, shot Ava. I didn’t care about Lily and I was about to deliver a finishing blow to Jake with a metal pole but somehow I decided against it. Hell changed me. I don’t know what happened in there, but it changed me. Sam’s dead, I know, and all that’s replaying in my head is how Carter died and how I could’ve stopped that too but I was too damn weak to, and now Sam took a blow because of pure fate. Don’t let all this change you. Don’t do anything stupid, Dean, please just don’t.” 
“I won’t.” He agreed, and then he hugged me, detaching and leaning his forehead on mine, cupping my cheeks. “I won’t.” 
Tumblr media
I walked in to find Dean prepping to go somewhere, and… Sam. 
Sam.
Alive. 
“Where we going, boys?” I asked, giving Dean a look. I know what you’ve done. 
“Bobby’s.” Sam smiled. 
“It’s great to have you up and about, Sam.” 
“Great to be up and about.” 
“To the Impala, then.” We went to the car, getting in and driving down to Bobby’s in silence. We went to the door, and Bobby opened it, his eyes widening a bit when he saw Sam. 
“Hey, Bobby.” Sam grinned.
“Sam. It's good to... see you up and around.” 
“Yeah ... thanks for patching me up.” 
“Don’t mention it.” Bobby then turned to me, patting me on the shoulder. “James knows you’re alive, but…” 
“I know.” I nodded. 
“Do what you’ve gotta do.” I took out my phone, dialling James. He picked up immediately on the other line, and I sighed. 
‘Ivy?’ 
“Yeah, it’s me.” 
‘You’re alive. Bobby was right. I-I thought that you…’ 
“I’m alive, yeah. My dad made a deal with a demon to save me.” I then bit my lip. “But now I’m involved in something big. End of the world big, and you need to be safe.” Bobby handed me a map of omens, and I spotted Southern Wyoming as a safe place. “Get to Southern Wyoming. Hide, take as much salt, holy water, iron, the works, as you can. Just get to safety.”
I could hear a sigh on another line. ‘We can’t see each other anymore, can we?’ 
“No, we can’t. At least, not until all this is over, which will take a hell of a long time.” 
‘I get it. At least I’ll know that my ex-girlfriend helped stop an apocalypse.’ 
“Stew in that, Lieutenant.” 
‘Gladly.’ He chuckled. ‘I’ll miss you, Ivonne Rainer.’ 
“As will I, James Rhodes.” I smiled. “Bye.”
’Bye.’ I then turned to Bobby. 
“What am I looking at?” 
“Omens are popping up everywhere.” He grimaced. “Everywhere but Southern Wyoming. It’s like demons are surrounding it or something. I need you and Sam to find out why while I chat with Dean.” 
“You better, before I give him an early ticket.” I gritted my teeth, then nodded. “I’ll do it. Figure something out.” 
Tumblr media
I was mapping things out when Ellen came in with Dean and Bobby, and I breathed a sigh of relief. 
“Ellen.” I grinned, hugging her, and she returned it, trembling. “I’m glad you’re ok.” 
“I’m glad you’re alive.” She retorted. “I’m sorry about Mick.”
”He was better off dead.” I huffed before pulling up a chair. Ellen sat down, and Bobby poured her a shot of holy water. 
“Bobby, is this really necessary?” 
“Just holy water.” Bobby shrugged. “Shouldn’t hurt.” 
She swallowed the water, giving Bobby a look. “Whiskey now, if you don't mind.” 
I passed her a shot of whiskey, and Dean sat down, leaning forward. “Ellen, what happened?” 
“I wasn't supposed to get out. I was supposed to be in there with everybody else. But we ran out of pretzels, of all things. It was just dumb luck.” She sipped the whiskey with a scoff. “Anyway, that's when Ash called. Panic in his voice. He told me to look in the safe. Then the call cut out. By the time I got back, the flames were sky-high. And everybody was dead. I couldn't have been gone more than fifteen minutes.” 
“I’m sorry, Ellen.” Sam grimaced. 
“A lot of good people died in there. And I got to live.” She scoffed again. “Lucky me.” 
“Ellen, you mentioned a safe.” Bobby frowned. 
“Secret safe in the basement.” 
“Demons get what’s in it?” 
“No.” She put down a map, which had Xs on it. I picked it up, studied it for a second and then took a book out of my satchel, turning the pages. 
“Friggin’ hell.” I muttered, drawing a line connecting the Xs. 
“What?” Dean asked. 
“Each of these X's is an abandoned frontier church— all mid-19th century. And all of them built by Samuel Colt.” 
“Samuel Colt? Demon killing, gun making Samuel Colt?” 
“Yep. And from church to church, he built underground, hidden railway tracks, connecting every dot until…” I grinned, “he made a 100 mile Devil’s Trap.” 
“Beanie, you genius.”
”I've never heard of anything that massive.” Ellen breathed. 
“No one has.” Bobby shrugged. 
“And after all these years none of the lines are broken?” Dean asked. “I mean, it still works?”
”Looks like it.” I nodded. “Demon omens are circling this place. They’re trying to get in, but can’t.” 
“Why’re they trying to get in?” Ellen frowned. 
“Bang in the middle of this place, there’s an old, abandoned cowboy cemetery.” I pointed to it on the map, then looked up grimly. “I don’t think Colt was trying to keep anything out. I think he was trying to keep something in.” 
“Well, that’s comforting.” 
“Could they get in?” Dean asked. 
“No.” I shook my head. “They’d need something as powerful as an A-bomb, H-bomb, heck, even the Tsar Bomba could work.” 
“The Tsar What-A?” 
“Nuclear bomb made by the Soviets. Still the most powerful nuclear weapon to exist. Only something roughly like that could rip this apart. Unless you make someone who’s not a demon cross the line.” 
Then it hit me. 
“Jake.”
Tumblr media
“Howdy, Jake.” Sam seethed, all of us surrounding him as he approached the crypt. Jake looked stunned, and I knew why. 
“Wait... you were dead. I killed you.” He stammered, but Sam chuckled. 
“Yeah? Well next time, finish the job.” 
“I did! I cut clean through your spinal cord, man. You can’t be alive, you just can’t.” 
“Okay, just take it real easy there, son.” Bobby warned. 
“And if I don’t?” 
“Wait and see.” Sam smirked. 
“What, you a tough guy all of a sudden? What are you gonna do— kill me?” 
“It’s a thought.” 
“You had your chance. You couldn't.” 
“Alright, then.” Sam nodded tauntingly. “It isn’t my mojo. But it’s hers.” He inclined his head towards me, and Jake spun around, seeing my eyes glow blue. 
“You’re not gonna lift anything.” He smirked, then turned to Ellen. “Hey lady, do me a favour. Put that gun to your head.” Ellen shakily agreed, putting the gun to her head. “See, that Ava girl was right. Once you give in to it, there's all sorts of new Jedi mind tricks you can learn.” 
“Let her go.” I demanded. 
“Kill him.” Ellen whispered. 
“You'll be mopping up skull before you get a shot off.” Jake taunted. “Everybody, put your guns down. Except you, sweetheart.” Everyone but me and Ellen put their guns down, me because Jake most likely didn’t know I had one. “Okay. Thank you.” He turned around, pulling out the Colt and putting it into the crypt. I immediately pulled the gun away from Ellen’s head, my eyes turning red as I held out my hand, my powers dragging Jake to me so I could hold him by the neck, rage surging through me like it was addictive. 
“Which way do you wanna go, huh?” I sneered, tilting my head with a grin. “I could switch off your brain, rip your guts out, but no, that’s too quick for you. I have a better idea.” I reached out, putting my fingertips around his heart. He started twitching, graining is pain as I retracted my hand, red wisps of energy following and slowly feeding small tendrils into what formed into his heart, pulsing, still beating. 
“Please.” Jake whispered. “Don’t do this, please.”
“Do it.” Sam snarled. “Kill him.”
“You’d rip them apart.” 
And I want to. 
“Please-“ I snapped my fist shut, bursting the heart and killing Jake, his body going limp as his head lolled forwards. I threw him down onto the ground without a second thought, my eyes returning to their normal colour. 
“Beanie?” Dean spoke up. “That you?” 
“Who else?” I snapped, staring down at Jake’s body before stepping over it. The two runes on the crypt spun in different directions before stopping, and a sense of apprehension immediately took over me. 
“Oh, no.” Bobby whispered. 
“What is it?” Ellen asked. 
“Hell.” Dean pulled the Colt from the crypt, and we all stepped back as we heard a lock click. “Take cover— now!” We dived behind headstones right as a door burst open, clouds of black smoke flying everywhere. 
“What the hell just happened?!” Dean groaned, taking cover next to me. 
“That’s a Devil’s gate!” I yelled. “A damn door to hell!” 
“Come on! We gotta shut that gate!” Ellen cried out. 
“If the demon gave this to Jake…” Dean muttered, fiddling with the Colt, then maybe-“ The gun flew out of his hand and landed in Yellow Eyes’, who smirked. 
“Boys shouldn’t play with Daddy’s guns.” He sneered, throwing Dean aside. Then he turned to me, chuckling. “I knew putting you in the game would be unfair. Poor Jakey didn't stand a chance. And now his heart's gone." 
“Shut up.” 
“I’m gonna make you in the meantime.” He forced Sam and I against trees, shrugging at Sam. “I'll get to you in a minute, champ. But I'm proud of you— knew you had it in you.” Then he faced Dean, throwing him against a post. “Sit a spell. So, Dean... I gotta thank you. You see, demons can't resurrect people, unless a deal is made. I know, red tape- it'll make you nuts. But thanks to you, Sammy's back in rotation. Now, I wasn't counting on that, but I'm glad. I liked him better than Jake, anyhow. Tell me— have you ever heard the expression, ‘If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is?’” 
“You call that deal good?” Dean scoffed.
“Well, it's a better shake than your dad ever got. Michael never got a good one either. And you never wondered why? I'm surprised at you. I mean... you saw what your dear Ivy just did to Jake, right? That was pretty cold, wasn't it? How certain are you that what you brought back, is 100%, pure, Sam? After all, Beanie came back a changed badass, didn’t she?“ He chuckled. “You of all people should know, that's what's dead, should stay dead. Anyway... thanks a bunch. I knew I kept you alive for some reason. Until now, anyway. I couldn't have done it without your pathetic, self-loathing, self-destructive desire to sacrifice yourself for your family.” He pointed the Colt at Dean, but I saw the ghost of John Winchester creeping up behind him. And he wasn’t alone. 
Carter’s ghost was with him. 
They grabbed a hold of Yellow Eyes, making him drop the Colt. I broke free from his telekinesis with a burst of blue light, picking up the Colt and aiming it at him. 
“I shot the wrong guy with this when I first used it.” I seethed. “Not this time.” I fired, and it hit him right in the heart. I ignored the falling body, instead turning to Carter, who I realised I was walking towards. He gave me a smile and joyful salute, and I did the same, wiping a tear from my cheek as he disappeared with a white light. 
Tumblr media
When we got to a motel, before we went inside, I took Dean by the arm, smiling at Sam like nothing was wrong. “You go in with the others, Sam, we’ll catch up.” 
“Ok.” Sam nodded awkwardly, then headed inside with Ellen and Bobby, both of whom nodded in a way that said ‘give him hell.’ 
And hell I gave him. 
The moment he was inside, I spun Dean to face me and decked him in the jaw, making him hold it with a groan. 
“Again?!” He hissed, but I didn’t care. 
“You did it, didn’t you?” I fumed, and he looked startled. 
“Wh-“ 
“Don’t you dare ‘what’ me, Dean, it’s a simple question, yes or no. You did it, didn’t you?” 
“Yes, I did!” Dean burst out, throwing his arms up in the air. “I put my profile in a box, buried it and sealed the deal.” 
“After I told you not to do anything stupid?!” I scoffed. “Dean, that goes beyond the laws of stupid! How much time do you even have left?” 
He remained silent, turning away. 
“Dean.” 
Still nothing. 
“Dean!” 
Why wasn’t he saying anything? 
“ANSWER ME, DAMNIT-“ 
“A YEAR!” He yelled, turning back around. “I have a year, ok? The damn demon wouldn’t settle for anything else!” He saw me just standing there and held out his hands, waiting for an answer. “Ivy?”
“YOU FRICKING IDIOT!” I screamed, pushing him. “Are you that desperate to limit your chances of living? Do you think that low of yourself? I know what your dad’s done to your protective instincts, Dean Winchester, but he seems to have done nothing for your own survival.” I pushed my finger against his chest, my eyes flickering red for a moment. “Because you feel it’s so necessary to protect Sam and I and blame yourself if we get hurt- just cut it! Because I’m done! Time and time again- I can’t stand it. I’m not going to sit here like your dad did and watch you throw away your life-“ 
“Then don’t.” He whispered, but it cut through my words like a yell. “Leave. Don’t watch me throw away my life.” 
I instantly deflated, setting my jaw. “You can’t be serious.” 
“Deadly.” He seethed, gritting his teeth. 
I shook my head, the winding coil in my head snapping suddenly. “Fine. Congratulations, though, you just killed yourself.” 
“I did it for a reason! Sam is my family, but you wouldn’t understand that, would you?” 
“You’re right, I wouldn’t.” I shrugged, biting back tears. “Even though I had two boys who I’d give my life for in a heartbeat. Or at least I did.” I turned on my heel, walking back into the motel. The first thing I did was grab my spare clothes from Jo, Sam’s eyebrows furrowing in confusion once he saw what I was doing. 
“What happened?” He asked. 
“Ask your brother.” I retorted, taking out the keys to my Mustang and getting in, flooring it. 
“Dean, what the hell?” Sam turned to Dean, gesturing in the direction of where I drove off. 
“I don’t know.” Dean whispered, breathing heavily and unable to take his eyes off where my car once was. 
“Seriously, man, what the hell?” 
“I don’t- I don’t know.” He gulped, running both hands through his hair. “What have I done?”

This idea is interesting! I'd love to see a resource of name ideas for each planet.
Lucky for you I’ve had the pleasure of visiting all the planets (and then some!!) during my youth– my papa used to be a general, you know! I’ve given you a little list of names that are used the most often in some of the popular planets in the Milky Way~Don’t thank me, it’s an honor ♡
..but ok, thank me a little. My ego needs a bit of pampering
