"Do you know what I’ve learned, after three decades of death?" Gamache asked, leaning toward the agent and lowering his voice. Despite himself, the agent leaned forward. "I’ve learned how precious life is."

Fic: How the Light Gets In (Dean Winchester/Laurel Lance)

I’M ALIVE, Y’ALL!

Okay, let’s get this horror story on the road.

Additional warnings for this chapter: Honestly, there are so many additional warnings for this chapter that I urge you to just read the list of warnings at the top of this chapter on AO3. There is going to be a lot going on in these next few chapters when it comes to horror and also when it comes to motherhood.

Also, if you already have a phobia of birds, things are going to get a bit dodgy from here on out.

.

Chapter Twenty Two

Milk

.

''You left town to lead Edie away from us,'' he says. ''She's back now and so are you. It's a moot point.''

''Dean, you know it's not just about - ''

''Relax,'' he cuts in tersely. ''I'm not asking you to come home.''

She knows that she has no right to be upset by the dismissal, but she is. ''Oh.''

''But you're back in town, you seem to be sticking around, and Mary needs you,'' he says. ''She needs to be able to see you and hear your voice. I get that you're not ready to come home and I'm trying to respect that, but it's been over a week since you got back and if this separation is going to last however long it's going to last, we have to figure out a way to get you to her. I know you're worried about Edie and what could happen, so it's - I mean, I'll be there too. If you feel like something's about to go down, I'll get her out of there. But she needs you.'' He is steady as he says this, resolute, determined, but calm, like maybe he has practiced this speech, thought long and hard about it. But she likes to think she knows him pretty well by now and she knows how to hear what's simmering underneath. There is desperation in his voice.

Something has spooked him.

That makes two of them.

''Laurel?'' His voice is gentle, but exasperated. ''You still there?''

''I'm here,'' she says. ''I'm here. I'm just, uh, a little...'' She drops her head into her hand briefly, palm pressed against her forehead. ''What are you thinking? Like a... a supervised visitation kind of thing?'' She lifts her head and looks up at the ceiling, shaking her head, pushing away the tears.

Last month, they were in California, just the three of them, their little family, walking the beach at sunset, taking five thousand pictures of Mary in her puffy blue coat over her purple sparkly dress making sandcastles. They listened to old records and ate good food and slept peacefully. The sun shone on them. They were the calmest they had ever been.

Last April, she was happy. She had moved past her birth trauma, she thought she had moved past her postpartum depression, she was looking forward to having more children, doing it all over again, moving into a bigger house, living the life she had always wanted with everything she could have hoped for. She was sober, employed, working hard at being a good mom, a good wife, a good person. She was, in a lot of ways, peaceful. She was working on a happy ending.

Now she gets supervised visitation.

nbc hannibal is a romcom purely because the central conflict results from hannibal not understanding his feelings for will and being a total loser about it because he’s never had a friend or been in love before which makes him act so silly and do the most insane things that will interprets being framed for murder as hannibal having something against him (as anyone would), and this series of misunderstandings is not resolved until hannibal’s ex girlfriend and former psychiatrist tells will that hannibal is so in love with him it makes him look stupid. after that will does not hesitate to break hannibal out of jail and douse himself in blood which is this show’s equivalent to the protagonist running to the airport to stop their love interest from leaving the country and marrying someone else before they’ve had the chance to confess that they’ve loved them ever since they’ve known them

#s1 from hannibal’s pov is the funniest shit ever he’s like I think I want a friend… I’ve never felt like this before…#I guess the only way to deal with this is to set his brain on fire #and then is shocked when will tells him the light of friendship won’t reach them for a million years #and spends the rest of the show trying to communicate how he feels without EVER SAYING ANYTHING DIRECTLY #the only way to do the miscommunication trope right #hannibal is literally just some guy and he’s so emotionally constipated he can’t even ask a guy out #zero swag and zero rizz but he still somehow gets will in the end #the show is a romcom !!#nbc hannibal #hannibal #will graham #hannigram #ghost speaks

The Bat-Adoption Papers are literal Magic Contracts

So! In the Deified Batman AU (the AU where the Belief of the peoples of Gotham accidentally Ascended Batman to minor godhood), the Bat Adoption Papers would be a fun concept.

Batman is a God of The Night, Fear, and Protection. Specifically, the protection of Children, which is one of his biggest motivators. Meaning, it's a big part of his Divine Domain.

So when he, a God of Protection and Children, adopts his own Child? It's kind of a big deal.

His Adoption Papers basically become Magical Contracts that claim Dick to him as his own Son, basically turning Dick into a Demigod by the fact that he is the Son of a God.

Then each time Batman adopts a kid, they become a Demigod as well. Maybe after enough time, and after they forge their own Identities, they could become Minor Gods of their own? Idk, fun idea

Why do I bring this up?

Well, when Danny eventually joins the JLA, and runs into Batman, all he sees in a God of the Night, who takes one look at him, and then pulls out a Magical Binding Contract from his Belt.

Needless to say, he books it.

#Dpxdc #Dp x dc #Dcxdp #Dc x dp #Danny Phantom #Dc #Dcu #If they did become God's I like to imagine what their Domains would be #Dick becomes The Nightwing #God of Protection Jovality and Children #Jason becomes The Red Hood the God of Wrath Revenge and Protection #Tim becomes The Red Robin God of Intellect Mystery and Restaurants (heh)#Steph becomes The Spoiler Goddess of Mystery Puzzels and Fun (even though she never got adopted. Nobody really knows how she pulled it off)#Cass becomes The Orphan Goddess of Darkness Silence and Mercy #Duke is basically already a Demigod but be would be the God of Light Darkness and Riddles #Damien would be the God of Art Redemption and Animals #Danny saw a God who had multiple children bound by Contract and then saw him pull out that same contract while staring at him #He is rightfully scared #I imagine Constantine has tried to get adopted before so he can get in on that Demigod Making Contract #But he doesn't fit the bill for Adoption #Also he's old enough to be Bruce's Dad sooo...#Bruce is only vaguely aware of how his kids managed to Ascend #He doesn't know it was the Adoption Papers that did it #Also his “Adoption Sense” could actually be a legitimate Power of his now that I think about it

"But Isabelle Lacoste had been in the Sûreté long enough to know how much easier it was to shoot than to talk. How much easier it was to shout than to be reasonable. How much easier it was to humiliate and demean and misuse authority than to be dignified and courteous, even to those who were themselves none of those things. How much more courage it took to be kind than to be cruel."

Fic: How the Light Gets In (Dean Winchester/Laurel Lance)

Wow, am I ever late with this update!

Literally it's 1am. I probably should have just waited until tomorrow to post this. But it's been such a long wait! I've made some changes to the overall structure of HTLGI, so unfortunately this chapter took much longer than I wanted it to. Plus, I made an attempt to write this chapter and the next chapter at the same time and, um… I will not be doing that again lol. That was not the time saver I, for whatever reason, thought it would be.

Additional warnings for this chapter: Vomit. Like, a lot of vomit. I'm sorry. I promise I'll stop that soon. I don't know why this keeps happening? Frank discussions of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, and suicide. Additional spoilery warnings can be found inside at the bottom of the chapter.

Also.

I'm sorry for the opening scene of this chapter. Except also I'm not sorry at all.

.

Chapter Twenty One

You Will Always Be in Your Mother's House

.

''Daddy…''

At first, the small voice, nearly a whisper, is what drags him out of the fog of slumber. The voice is muffled and tinny sounding, garbled over the sound of white noise filtering through the monitor on the bedside table, but it still catches his attention. It hooks onto him in his sleep and pulls him out from under.

Then it's the sound of static that yanks him full force back into consciousness, a strange buzzing noise that grows louder and louder and louder still, much louder than it should be.

''Daddy,'' Mary's voice hisses, and Dean's eyes snap open in the dark.

A second of groggy confusion and then he lifts his head up to look at the baby monitor, frowning at the static coming from it. He blearily rubs at his tired eyes and pushes himself up enough to turn on the lamp. ''Laurel?'' He reaches out, an instinct, to where his wife should be, but his hand finds only air and a cold pillow on the other side of the bed.

He blinks to clear his sleep blurred vision. He looks at the empty spot she has not slept in. Something curls in his gut, a feeling of sickness, something halfway between anger and concern, and he can't remember why. It's familiar, but he doesn't know where it's coming from. Can't quite fit the puzzle pieces together. Eventually, he shakes it off.

It doesn't strike him as important in the moment.

He pulls back the covers, and rises to his feet, scratching absently at the shoulder of his white t-shirt. He steps out of the bedroom and into the still lit hallway, avoiding the creaky floorboards on autopilot as he trudges over to Mary's room, trying to remember what time it was when he gave her that last dose of Tylenol.

Mary's door, left open a crack, groans when he pushes it open and Dean finds himself stopping short in the doorway, looking at a shadowy figure standing over his daughter, a tiny bundle of blankets in her bed, seemingly fast asleep despite the whines that have woken him up. There is a second of panic, a shot of adrenaline, and his body tenses.

But it's just a second.

The shape of the silhouette is familiar, the way her hair falls, the curve of her fingers, and he relaxes. He lets down his guard. ''Laur?'' His voice is a thick, sleep encrusted whisper. ''Is she okay?''

She turns her head, only a little, not enough to see her face, bringing a finger to her lips. ''Sshh.''

He raises an eyebrow at the dismissal, but relents. He figures it's fine. She is her mother, after all, and he is exhausted after a long day of toddler sickness, so he lets it go. She can handle whatever is thrown her way. ''Okay.'' He hesitates, but ultimately turns to walk away. He leaves Mary with her mother, safe.

Down the hallway, the light fixture on the wall beside the door to his bedroom flickers.
