Category: F/M.
Relationship: Richard Speight Jr. x Female Reader.
Type: One shot.
Words: 4,855.
Summary: In a single night, [Y/N]'s life takes a turn for the worse; that is, until she goes seeking comfort in the arms of the only man who can make it all better.
~~~~~~~~~~
Everything happened so fast.
Restlessly sitting on the living room couch, my crossed legs could not stop fidgeting as I waited for Mark to come home. A few minutes earlier, he had called me to say he was on his way home, and that he had something important to tell me when he would be back. When I had asked him why he could not simply tell me over the phone, he had answered it was too significant not to be discussed face-to-face. I had not argued any further, but deep down I knew damn well it was not like him to say a thing such as that.
Mark and I had been dating for almost two years, and this time we had spent together had been good to us. We had met on the set of Supernatural, and back then, it was clear to everyone that we hit it off right away; I was introduced to the plot as an endgame character, so I made my debut near the last seasons of the show. However, I had still been given the opportunity to play alongside Mark, even if only for a few times. And although I was instantly charmed by his Lucifer, I got to know him personally over time and consequently fell for him beyond his character.
It had taken us a while to officially get together, but once we did, we never let go of each other. And we both believed things would grow and evolve between the two of us, shifting our relationship into something more and more serious as time would go on. At least, that is what I believed in until I started noticing a change in Mark's behavior, a change in the way he would talk to me, and act around me. I had always brushed that feeling aside, convincing myself it was only a misinterpretation, a fabrication of my own paranoid mind. But with one simple phone call, all my suspicions had come flowing back up to the surface, and it was becoming hard to ignore them.
As I was getting deeply lost in thought, I suddenly heard the front door open and turned around, only to see Mark enter the living room in somewhat of a rush.
"Hey." He promptly let out without even looking at me.
"Hey..." I awkwardly said back.
I was searching for his eyes, but it was clear to me he was trying to avoid making eye contact with me.
"So... you wanted to tell me something?"
My stomach felt like a tangled bag of knots, hurting my guts, which had a bad feeling about what was about to take place.
"Yeah, we need to talk."
This sentence alone made me gulp and look down at my feet.
"Listen, [Y/N]..." Mark started with faint remorse. "I'm sorry... It truly pains me to say it, as much as it will pain you to hear it, but... we should break up."
I blankly stared at him, in a complete state of shock.
"But-"
"No." He cut me off with a sigh. "It's for the best, trust me."
What? Why? How? Have I done something wrong? Have you met another woman? Do you not love me anymore?
Questions began piling up in my mind, so many questions I wanted to ask him. But I was rendered unable to speak.
"I'm sorry." He said once more, still looking away from me.
His apologies were not fully sincere, I could feel it, I knew him well enough to feel it. But still, I was not able to talk back. All I could do was cry. And so I did: I cried miserably on this couch, feeling sorry for myself, wondering how pathetic Mark must have found me. As my thoughts started to overwhelm me, I finally managed to stand up and walked to our bedroom without a word. I grabbed my suitcase and my duffle bag and put them both on the bed; I rapidly gathered my things, which I had scattered across the room, and stuffed them all back inside my luggage. There was not much to collect, just the essentials: clothes, a book, and my computer. But I refused to leave in this house the only few things I had brought with me. I knew I was no longer wanted here; I knew I had to get out of there.
I quickly changed my clothes and put on a t-shirt, a pair of jeans, a jacket, and shoes. I zipped and closed both my suitcase and bag, before leaving the room with them in hand. As I walked to the front door, I came back into the living room, and Mark stood up as he saw me, ready to go, my hand on the knob.
"[Y/N]-"
"No, don't say anything." I said while crying, interrupting him. "That's what you wanted, for me to go away. So that's what I'm doing."
And with that, I opened the door and stepped outside, after which I closed it right back behind me. Standing in front of the house, I let my luggage fall on the ground beside me and grabbed my head with my hands as I cried more tears.
How did this happen? And why?
I regained my composure and wiped away my tears, before picking up my suitcase and my bag. I took a few steps away from the house and looked around: I had nowhere to go. Mark's house was not very far away from the city center, so I decided to take a night walk. I had always loved walking down the streets at night. But not in this particular state of mind. Not while emotionally devastated.
After a few minutes of aimless strolling, I entered the heart of the city and started seeing all types of people walking up and down the streets, going in and out of restaurants, shopping, and simply minding their own business. As an extroverted person, it had never bothered me much to be around masses of people, and at that very moment, it even allowed me to lose myself among them: I could have cried, nobody would have noticed.
I still had no idea what to do or where to go, wandering alone in the crowded streets. But as I turned my head to the right, my eyes fell on an imposing hotel, illuminated by gorgeous lit-up fountains and surrounded by various types of floral decorations. And that was when I remembered.
Richard. That's the hotel Richard's staying in.
Similarly to Mark, I had met Richard while working on Supernatural; and similarly to Mark, Richard and I had become close friends in only a matter of weeks. After the show had ended, we stayed in touch, and over time, we started to hang out more and more. We eventually began working on common projects together, though they were all silly and for our own amusement. But it led us to have somewhat of a reputation as a duo, to the point of being cast as the two main protagonists in a brand-new TV show. We obviously both accepted, and this new shared adventure had brought us yet even closer to each other.
It had now been some time since we had started working together on the series, and it had taken us to Los Angeles, where we had to shoot for about a week. The production crew had decided to put both of us up in a hotel, but I had told them not to book me a room since I knew Mark resided in town and that I could spend the nights over at his place. Production had accepted my request and ended up booking a single room for Richard, although they had told me it went against regular policy.
Standing in front of the hotel, I looked back on how I had thanked the crew for making an exception. But as I now felt lonely and abandoned, I wished I had not said anything and just accepted the hotel room from the get-go. With my suitcase in my left hand and my duffle bag over my right shoulder, I walked up to the entrance of the hotel and stopped in front of the security guarding the doors. Since I had no room registered to my name, I had not been granted access to the hotel, but Richard had given me an extra entry pass, in case I would need or want to see him in his hotel room.
I presented the pass to the guard and was let inside; walking in, I was instantly blinded by the bright lights emanating from the chandeliers mounted on the ceiling, which contrasted sharply with the darkness outside. For a second, I thought about giving Richard a call, to let him know I was on my way to his room; but given how emotionally weakened I was, I felt I would not be able to speak over the phone, so decided against it. I made my way to the elevator and tried to remember on which floor his room was as I stepped inside; after having searched deep enough in my memory, I pressed the button to the third floor and went up with the elevator. Once on the third floor, the elevator doors opened and I took a step into the bright red hallway.
I slowly walked up to his room and stopped at the door, my luggage in hand, my vision blurry, and my mind blown away. I leaned forward and knocked twice on his door with a shaky hand.
"Who is it?" I heard Richard's voice ask from far away.
"Richard... It's me..." I tried to speak loud and clear.
"... [Y/N]?" He asked with surprise, recognizing my voice. "Hang on."
Inside the room, I could hear fast and loud footsteps, and in a matter of seconds, the door opened widely: I was faced with Richard, staring into my eyes, visibly worried. The door had only just opened that I immediately fell into his arms, my body going limp.
"Woah- Hey, hey." He let out as he caught me by the shoulders. "[Y/N], what's wrong?"
A simple look into his eyes was enough to make him understand I was unable to speak, so he took from my hands the suitcase and bag I was carrying and put them both inside, by the door.
"C'mon, come inside." He said gently as he held me by the arms.
Once inside, he closed the door behind us and made me walk to the couch, before helping me sit down next to him. When he understood I could not stop crying, he put a delicate hand over my knee, which made me look up and into his shining eyes.
"Can you talk?" He started softly. "Do you want to talk? I'm not forcing you if you don't want to or don't feel like it."
Despite how pathetic and pitiful I was feeling mentally, my face still managed to shape my lips into a smile that I sent his way, alongside a nod. Richard and I had been really good friends ever since we had first met, for what seemed to me like forever, and he had always been so caring towards me. Every time I needed someone's presence, he was that someone. That someone who I knew would always be there for me.
I stared back at him and was pained to see how sad he was to see me in such a state.
"It's Mark..." I tried to say, a tear stuck in my throat. "... We broke up."
Richard stared at me in a way I could not describe: he seemed sad, shocked, and for some reason, angry.
"... What?" He finally said after a few seconds of silence.
"He told me it's what's best for us..."
He grabbed his forehead with a sigh, visibly pensive, before turning to me swiftly. He leaned closer to me and hugged me tight, wrapping me in his embrace to try and help me calm down. I felt at peace in his arms. I had always felt comfortable in Richard's arms. But never before had I craved his touch so badly. I grabbed tight onto his back as I allowed myself to cry more tears on his shoulder, my head resting against the crook of his neck. Mark's words had rendered a part of my soul cold and empty, but Richard's warmth was the only remedy I needed to fix it.
He passed a hand on my back, rubbing it back and forth, in hopes of stopping my tears from flowing.
"Shh, shh..." He lulled me softly.
His soothing shushing resonating through my mind, I lost myself in his embrace and kept holding him close, making him understand I did not want him to let go. We remained in each other's arms for a few silent minutes, until he pulled away gently and grabbed my shoulders with care: he looked at me straight in the eyes once more, and when I gazed inside his, it was as if an electrical shock was traveling through my entire body.
"Are you feeling any better?" He asked me with a faint smile.
"I don't know..." I answered honestly while shaking my head slowly.
Richard tucked a strand of hair behind my ear while slightly tilting his head to the side.
"What would help you feel better? What do you want, right now?"
My eyes were still interlocked with his, but my mind went elsewhere.
What do I want?
I asked myself the same question he had just asked me, but was somehow unable to come up with a definitive answer: instead of giving him a verbal response, I stared into his whiskey-colored eyes as I grabbed one of his hands with both of mine. His gorgeous face lit up with a stunning smile I had had the chance to see so many times before, but never had enough of.
"Well, in any case, I do know what you'd need right now." He started, backing away from me a little. "What do you say I make you a cup of tea, and go fetch you a blanket or two?"
I giggled softly at his offer and the sound of my own laughter made me realize I was starting to feel better.
"I say I'd very much appreciate it." I replied with a warm smile.
"Alright, I'll get on it right away then." He smiled back. "The tea might take a while to get ready, so don't hesitate to walk around and stretch your legs a bit."
"Good idea." I said as I stood up from the couch at the same time as him.
While Richard left the room, I took a look around, and only then did I realize his hotel room was not even a single room, but a suite. I spotted three other rooms, in addition to the living area: a bedroom, a kitchen, and a bathroom. I made my way to the bathroom while taking in everything around me.
"Damn, Rich..." I said out loud, addressing him even though he was not in the room with me. "They gave you a full-on suite."
"I know, right?" I heard him chuckle from another room.
I stepped inside the bathroom and passed a hand over the wall as I scoffed lightly.
"I can't believe I'm missing out on all of this." I murmured to myself somewhat disappointedly.
Walking deeper into the bathroom, I approached the sink and stopped in front of the mirror above it.
Jesus Christ...
"... I look like shit." I finished my thought aloud.
I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples with a sigh.
"And to think Richard had to see me like that..."
Opening my eyes back up, I looked more closely at my eyes and the ruined mascara around them.
I'll remove my makeup and clean my face a little, hopefully that'll make me look less miserable.
I made my way back to the front door and picked up my suitcase and my duffle bag: I carried them over to the living area, and set them both down on the floor next to the couch, before unzipping the suitcase, which contained a makeup bag. As I was about to leave the room, my makeup bag in hand, I noticed a blanket and a couple of pillows on the couch, which had not been there before. I smiled and headed back to the bathroom, but stopped by the kitchen this time; leaning a shoulder against the wall behind me, I observed Richard meticulously preparing my tea, softly humming a tune to himself, and felt my cheeks get hotter and hotter the longer I stared at him.
Before he got the chance to turn around and spot me, I kept on walking and entered the bathroom once more. I set my pouch down and opened it to take my makeup remover out, and started cleaning my face. After I had removed all traces of makeup from my face, I splashed some cold water on it, after which I dabbed on my skin with a fresh towel hanging beside the sink. With my face now cleaned and dried up, I took another look at myself in the mirror.
"Well... it's considerably better." I told myself with a sigh.
I put my makeup remover back into my makeup bag and exited the bathroom, and once I was in the living room again, I placed my bag back inside my suitcase. With that done and out of the way, I sat down on the couch once more and let my body relax at the contact of the soft blanket and pillows: just as I was getting comfortable, Richard entered the room, a warm smile on his face and a cup in hand.
"Tea's ready." He said as he walked up to me.
He sat down next to me and held out the mug before my hands.
"Here. Careful, it's hot."
"Thanks."
We exchanged smiles as I grabbed the mug from his hands, but our eyes left each other and my cheeks reddened when my fingers went brushing against his, his skin feeling hotter to the touch than the tea itself. I kept the cup in my hands for a while without actually drinking from it, taking in the heat from the ceramic, and feeling it spread throughout my body. As I took the first sip, I looked back at Richard.
"It's delicious." I told him with a sincere smile.
"It's the one I always make you when you're feeling down, but I perfected it by adding a few drops of honey and milk this time." He said with a sense of pride.
"Well, I love this new specialty of yours." I chuckled gently. "And I hope I'll get to taste it again in the future."
"I'll make you as much as you want. Even when you're not feeling down."
Perhaps it was the sip I had just swallowed, or the syrupy-sweet tone of his voice, but when I heard Richard's words, I felt my throat heat up and spread this heat across my face. Holding tight the mug in my hands, I dared look up and into his honey-colored eyes, sweeter than the honey in my tea. But once I had started staring into them, it was impossible for me to look away; stickier than nectar, they kept me unable to move or fight my way out of them, forcing me to lose myself deeper in them.
And if it had not been for him breaking our stare and looking away, I would have remained stuck into his gaze for all eternity.
"Alright, finish your tea up." He told me as he cleared his throat. "You've gotta rest a little, now."
I blinked a couple of times, pulling myself out of my reveries, and did as I was told. As I took the last sip from my mug, he grabbed the blanket he had brought over and carefully laid it over me, before taking the now-empty cup from my hands.
"If you can, try and take a nap. I know it's still early for sleep, but you've been through a lot tonight, you need to rest. Even just for a short while."
He stood up from the couch, the mug in hand, and turned to me.
"If you need me, or anything, I'll be in my bedroom, all right?"
"All right." I nodded.
As I watched him begin to leave the room, a voice inside of me reached out to him.
"Rich, wait." I suddenly said.
He stopped walking and turned around, only to meet my smiling face.
"Thank you, for everything."
A loving smile took shape on his face at the same time his cheeks got riddled with blush. Turning back around, he flipped the light switch off and headed for his bedroom, leaving me alone in the living room. I lay down across the couch, finding warmth in the cozy blanket covering my body, and closed my eyes with a yawn. As if he was still on the couch with me, I could smell Richard's cologne surrounding me, wrapping me in a feeling of reassurance. Everything around me felt so snug, so homelike, that I fell asleep right away.
When I opened my eyes again, I felt somewhat disoriented, but also revitalized. I reached out for my right jacket pocket and pulled my phone out to look at the time, and saw my good rest had lasted over half an hour. I stretched my arms and legs before slowly rising into a sitting position, and pushed the blanket aside. I rubbed my eyes while yawning then decided to take my phone out once again, this time to check if I had any potential notifications; but before I could even unlock my phone, I was distracted by Richard's voice, conversing with another, awfully familiar one, breaking the silence reigning throughout the entire suite.
I quietly stood up from the couch and as I slowly stepped toward his bedroom, the two voices got louder, deeper, and angrier. Not wanting to interrupt and make my presence known, I stopped around a corner of the wall and observed from afar.
"What's the deal with [Y/N]?" I saw Richard angrily ask the phone he was holding up to his ear.
"What happened between her and I is none of your goddamn business." I recognized Mark's voice on the other side of the line. "Besides, why are you even concerned about that? You should be happy, now she's all yours."
"I have the right to know. And I don't want her to be 'all mine'. She's not a plaything, Mark. You've treated her like a toy for so long, and now you've broken it."
"You think I take pride in what I've done? No, but it was for the best."
Before Richard could add anything else, Mark abruptly hung up on him, putting a forced end to their conversation.
"Bastard..." He murmured to himself as he glared at the phone.
Quietly standing still, I watched him sit down on the edge of his bed, before setting his phone aside and burying his face in his hands; hesitantly, I took a few steps forward and gently knocked on his wide-open bedroom door, revealing myself.
"Rich..." I said in a low voice.
The second he heard the sound of my voice, he looked up and met my eyes, before standing up quickly.
"[Y/N]-" He exclaimed as he walked toward me. "How long have you been up? Are you feeling any better?"
"I am, that nap felt really good." I answered him with a forced smile.
He smiled back at me, but we both knew that neither of our grins was heartfelt: mine slowly vanished as I stared into his eyes intensely.
"Listen, Rich..." I started awkwardly. "I... I heard you talk with Mark over the phone..."
His smile faded away and he instinctively avoided looking into my eyes as he backed off slightly; but I could not bring myself to divert my sight from him, and with the both of us staying silent, I could feel the uneasiness settle between us.
"Do you mind... explaining to me what Mark meant when he said what he said about you?" I shyly spoke up.
Richard exhaled heavily as he grabbed the back of his neck with one hand.
"[Y/N], I..."
He tried to speak, but I could read in him the struggle he was going through to find the right words to use: he did not finish his sentence and instead left it hanging, letting silence take over once more.
"You should be happy, now she's all yours."
This one sentence kept resonating in my head, and the more I was hearing it, the more I was beginning to accept it.
"I know what Mark meant, Rich." I said gently as I took a confident step forward. "But I want to hear it from you."
He finally looked up at me, and before he even said a word, I could read the love in his eyes, and I could feel it spread over to mine.
"I love you, [Y/N]." Richard confessed with a deep breath. "I always have. Since the first time we met, since the very moment I saw you, I've always felt this way about you. And, when you and Mark got together, I promised myself I'd keep my feelings hidden and away. The last thing I wanted was to ruin your relationship by interfering... Mark eventually figured it out a couple of weeks ago."
Listening to him pour his heart out to me, I could feel each and every single one of his words was truly sincere.
"[Y/N]... I'm so sorry to burden you with all this... You shouldn't have to sit through my rambling, after what you've just gone through with Mark-"
"No." I suddenly interrupted him.
His eyes opened wider in surprise, and the gleam visible inside of them was a sign he would have begun shedding a tear if I had not stopped him from talking further. I felt my cheeks flush as I took a step in his direction.
"I... I love you too." I shamefully admitted. "Like you, I always have. Something inside of me triggered when I first talked to you. But... I've always been unsure of my feelings for you, unsure of their true nature... It's always been in and out for me. Then, Mark came pretty early on, so I think my brain just... unconsciously pushed these feelings aside. But they've always been there. They never left."
Staring into his sparkling eyes, I felt the atmosphere surrounding us becoming heavier than ever.
"... I never knew you felt this way about me." I shook my head slowly. "But now, it just feels like it makes all the sense in the world..."
Losing some of my confidence, I looked down at my feet and sighed.
"God, I feel so stupid... I've been oblivious this whole time, I should've seen-"
"[Y/N]." He cut me off gently. "Don't blame yourself, please."
"No, I have my share of responsibility in this, Rich. If I had noticed your feelings for me right away, then... maybe... we could've-"
Before I could finish speaking, my cheeks were cupped by two strong hands, before I felt Richard's lips against mine. The contact of our skins against one another was so sudden, that I could not help but let out a soft, high-pitched moan as we kissed. It was such a passionate kiss, radiating love, yet it felt as though it was the softest I had ever received. Just as my limbs started relaxing and my lips began taking part in the action, Richard pulled away after only a few seconds, leaving a part of me frustrated and wanting more. He shook his head repeatedly as he pressed one of his hands on his forehead.
"Shit- I'm sorry, I shouldn't have, this is too soon-" He stuttered.
"No- I mean, yes-" I stammered as well. "But, to be honest... I think we both wanted it to happen."
We awkwardly stared at each other, our bodies still so close, which allowed me to see his slightly blushing cheeks and made my heart flutter.
"And, besides... even if it can't happen now doesn't mean it can't ever happen again at a later time..." I shyly added.
I lowered my gaze a little and delicately grabbed one of his hands with one of mine, before looking back up into his gorgeous eyes.
"When you asked me earlier, I didn't have an answer, but now, I know what I want."
Richard scoffed gently and smiled as he intertwined his fingers with mine.
"I'll need some time to heal from Mark, Richard. But I know I'll heal faster with you by my side."
As we held each other's hands, the warm smiles we exchanged made us both understand we were making the promise of being honest with ourselves and each other from there on.
"Then I'll never stray away from you."

You should have known he’d be waiting for you the moment you got back to the bunker. Should have known that the second you walked into your room you’d see him there, already under the sheets with that signature grin on his face. The one you’d normally love to see.
But tonight you just weren’t feeling it. You’d had a bad case. The worst case in a long time and you really weren’t feeling up to spending half the night with an archangel between your legs, no matter how fun and pleasurable it was.
Tiredly, you stepped into your bedroom that, low and behold, Gabriel was already occupying. You closed the door, glancing towards him just in time to catch that playful smile on his face, the sheets barely covering him as he waited for you to greet him like you normally did. Which was to throw yourself on him as you never were one to waste time. Not when it came to this anyway.
Only, tonight you didn’t. Tonight you didn’t even acknowledge him with anything more than a half assed smile that you had to force out as you peeled off your blood stained jacket, dumping it straight onto the floor instead of your laundry hamper.
“Baby?” Gabriel sat up a little, brow furrowing over your distant behaviour as this wasn’t like you at all. You hated mess so for you to leave your clothes lying messily about? Well that was the first sign that you weren’t exactly feeling like your usual self.
“Not now, Gabriel.” You sighed breathily, pulling off your t-shirt which quickly joined your jacket in a heap on the floor. “I’m not in the mood.”
“Everything okay?” He asked, growing worried when he got nothing but silence in response as you continued to undress.
The further you moved into the light the more he could see it. That faint redness to your otherwise glistening eyes and the deep, dark circles beneath them that were the starting point for the stains that ran down your cheeks.
Even as you rummaged through your drawer he could still see the way your lip never fully settled, trembling lightly with every quiet breath that parted them and it was clear that you’d more than likely only just finished crying.
“Come here.” He said softly, patting the bed next to him which had another quiet sigh escape your mouth as you misread his intentions.
“I said I’m not in the mood.” You mumbled, clumsily throwing your night shirt over your head and ending up with your arm in the wrong hole, which might have pushed you to the brink had Gabriel not shuffled towards you to help you into it properly.
The second the material sat right on your shoulders his hands moved up, brushing your hair from your face before gently cupping it. His thumbs ghosted lightly across the blackened marks beneath your eyes, watching as they began to shimmer faintly in the dim light of the room.
“Rough day?” Gabriel said quietly, barely a nod of your head answering him as you couldn’t quite find the words to. He moved back across the bed, pulling the cover down and motioning for you to join him.
You were quick to do so, feeling that warmth seep into your body as you nestled yourself next to him, his arm draping around you the instant you settled. His chin landed atop your head, his other arm wrapping tightly around you as you buried your face against his chest, allowing the comfort he brought to fully engulf you.
It was a little strange for you to be like this as Gabriel never was one for cuddles, at least not like this as he happened to like the after sex cuddles you both shared, but that was mainly due to his likeness to see your reaction afterwards.
You weren’t exactly “exclusive” either, given what he was and nothing ever seemed normal with him. But in this moment, as you did nothing but lay in his arms where you could feel the rise and fall of his chest, it felt more normal to you than anything ever had. Only at the same time, you couldn’t help but worry that you were bothering him by being so down.
“You don’t have to stay with me, you know.” You whispered, your voice barely audible for even yourself to hear but luckily for you Gabriel had celestial hearing which meant he heard you perfectly. “If you have better things to do.”
“There isn’t anything better than this, sweetheart.” He said sincerely, pressing a soft kiss to the top of your head before his cheek came to rest atop it.
You nuzzled your own over his chest, where you could make out the gentle rhythm of his heart beneath your ear. Every quiet beat only brought you more and more comfort. Made you forget the day as the tension slowly faded from your body with every minute you lay there, neither of you saying a word as you simply enjoyed each other's company.
You didn’t know when you’d have this again. This moment. This peace. And so for as long as you were able, you’d be making sure to cherish each moment, as Gabriel was right… There truly was nothing better than this.

Okay I’ve seen Driven (2020) starring richard Speight Jr and I’ve taken some notes to share with the class;
It is not very cinematic. 98% of the shots are very boring. Obviously it’s a very low budget film and that’s not to rag on low budget because a lot of low budget films become cult classics because they have a charm to them that comes from a movie with little money but a lot of love ie. Blair witch project ($60k), paranormal activity (15k) a lot of horror movie franchises start really low budget and it makes them super campy which is what makes them so beloved. But this is boring cinematically. And they don’t commit to what kind of style they want to go with filming and it jumps from very clear steady shots to shaky hand held footage without much rhyme or reason. I think they could’ve done a lot with very little and just the car by incorporating the fact that she’s an “Uber” driver through use of security footage found footage style. Viewing the story from a rear view reversing camera, a passenger camera- those kinds of things and it would’ve given a more visually interesting angle than smack bang in the middle of the dash board and never moving. In a movie that’s comprised 97% of shots of the two of them sitting in a car dialoguing there’s a distinct lack in dynamic shots to spice up the monotony.
Personally I would’ve liked to have seen more of the story happening in the background of things, I think it would’ve been visually fun to see her driving around in The beginning and viewing the oncoming disaster through her windows while she’s distracted with her own personal problems, a little like Shaun of the Dead if you’ve seen that, it’s got this great scene where it’s a one take where he just strolls through town with havoc going on in the background while he’s so self obsessed he doesn’t notice, then we could be part of the journey opposed to getting a lot of information dialogued at us.
The plot is very nonsensical and feels like it was given about 10% of the love and attention for what makes up 90% of the movie while the rest of the care was put into the bantering- which is very good. I will give them that the bantering between the two of them was VERY funny, though I think sometimes they need to know when to let a joke go (toilet spoon).
The two leads aren’t bad actors though, and sometimes that’s really all you need to make something watchable is if the people you’re watching are capable of making a dull script and character interesting to watch, they bounce off of each other with a very natural chemistry on a set where everyone else im going to assume is getting their first big break (no shame, everyone has to start somewhere) because they’re NOT good. Especially Jess who stands there dead eyed and delivers her lines like she’s reading off a teleprompter… that was the worst part of the whole movie, she’s unwatchable it was terrible. It’s a pivotal part of the film, the emotional crux of Emerson coming to terms with needing to self realise that she’s what’s holding her back and Rodger is a dick but his words cut because they’re true. And she’s crying on one side of the car and her ex girlfriend is just “😐 you didn’t… fight for us😐 you sit 😐 in the car of our relationship😐”
It’s very typecast of RSJ to play this kind of guy who’s a little awkward but very flirty and quippy- sassy, I suppose. And he does it VERY well like not just being a Gabriel girlie I always find his joke telling very compelling, but there’s the big emotional climax of the movie where he turns on a dime and snaps at Emerson and it’s MEAN. And I think he’s quite capable of branching out into a more serious type of character role and I’m not sure why he doesn’t, maybe he just likes to play the funny guy and that’s fine but he’s very good at being a little bit crazy and sadistic and I think he could play a good bad guy at some point if he wanted, I think he’s capable of portraying that kind of emotional depth.
The best part is obviously the bi4bi energy going on in this car. They’re both quite awkward and the “my ex girlfriend” rolled off the tongue like it was a very normal thing to say. You know sometimes you watch something and there’s a tense beat and then it’s like “my… girlfriend,” and you’re supposed to go ooooh this is hard for you :( there was none of that. She just spat that out like she was shooting the breeze with someone chill who would just get that, and later brought up an ex boyfriend and there was no needless discussion about bisexuality we’re just expected to get it in the way that Rodger literally could not give less of a fuck about it you know? Cool you’re bisexual, can we get back to hunting demons??? There was no awkward straight guyness to it. He didn’t go “oh? Oh!” Or ask crude details about girl on girl action- you know, the usual stuff. He instead shared his own personal love life strife or lack there of. Bi4bi energy. And chaotic. Love a good bi4bi chaotic duo. Their relationship was the best part of the movie I enjoyed watching them start tense and awkward and quickly bloom into a friendship BECAUSE they’re tense and awkward, it’s fun! There wasn’t a change in character, no suaveness, she does standup comedy it’s dorky it’s cute I think they’re perfect.
And those are all my thoughts, I’d give it a 4/10 just for the distinct amount of missed opportunities they skate on by but it’s not unwatchable, I just certainly would never recommend it to anyone

supernatural s13e7 war of the worlds (w. brad buckner, eugenie ross-leming)
au!michael putting lucifer in an iron maiden-ish thing ok, why not. in front of a big jesus on a cross. is this the michael that rides up on dean's junk? i know nothing about that plotline other than it exists
CASTIEL Dean, you can't accompany me. My contact is already anxious about meeting and won't speak in the presence of a stranger. DEAN So introduce me. Then I'm not a stranger. I'll bring a six-pack. CASTIEL Dean, I swore I would protect this boy. Let me do this. DEAN Don't do anything stupid.
don't be rude, dean. but also, cas doesn't have the best track record. but tentatively seems like they're making him less prone to really bad decisions?
Tumblr media
DEAN I guess we're stuck in idle. SAM So… What do we do? Just – just sit around here and wait? DEAN Well, we could work a case.
dunno why this strikes me as so like. unnecessarily heavy handed? oh no we can't do anything about the major plot arc, whatever will we do. i know, let's work a case to pass the time. i think this is a sign that i'm losing patience with the show :p there's only so many ways you can rearrange the parts before you start repeating things/the parts become very visible
LUCIFER Hey, you try interdimensional travel sometime, pal. Definitely no frills. And just to be clear, I never claimed to be God. Or a god, okay? Where I come from, God is a paradox. He's everywhere, in your mind. In reality, he's nowhere. He left. I, on the other hand, am the real deal. I am everything humanity thinks I am and worse. That's who you're dealing with, pal. But, hey, congratulations to you for being king of the hill of this dead rock.
nice little speech where he's not over completely over the top. i like him over the top, but it's nice to see this too.
was curious what osric was gonna be doing in this episode. handy i guess having this au, can bring in whoever. and he gets to play a very different kevin who gets to make a nexus
Tumblr media
lucifer too, has to get back to the nexus. and back on earth without powers so we can have our quirky music comedy moment
eyes glazing over with this mr ketchup in a beard and rowena thing. two supposed to be dead people. evil twin but for real omglol. bleh
Tumblr media
started laughing out loud at this shot, wtf is going on. it's so odd it looks like they pasted two shots together so they could both artificially be in focus together. gives me... tarantino???? vibes?? something. it's familiar. anyway. directed by richard speight jr apparently, gettin creative 🤪
Tumblr media
this is so strange, man. it feels like it's gotta be a reference because it's so out of left field
Tumblr media
sam where are you looking (ok i cranked up my brightness and i see he's looking at him now, but the way his head is angled and the shadow on his eyes makes it look like he's looking offcenter). why are y'all sitting like this. wtf.
Tumblr media
just sayin. script directions definitely more what i'd expect
and offbrand mr ketchup looks like matthew rhys a little bit with the fluffy hair and beard like he's in a disguise in the americans
DUMAH Castiel, the angels… Our numbers were greatly diminished after the fall. No one's made new angels since the dawn of creation. We're going extinct. You would need a powerful force to make more of us. CASTIEL You mean Jack. Even if he had that power, what makes you think he'd cooperate? DUMAH He may not have a choice. CASTIEL So you're planning to enslave him for some kind of experiment?
i did not have trying to enslave jack as an angelic broodmare on my bingo card.
Tumblr media
i like the new fit, lucifer. find it kind of weird though how he has now changed outfits a couple times past the original one and yet he still keeps the vessel's wedding ring on
LUCIFER Yeah, I'm clearly not myself. But, oh, cowboy, I'm not that weak. And you and I need to talk. CASTIEL I have no interest in talking to you. And if this is about your son– LUCIFER Okay, I get it, I get it. Custody of my son is a non-starter. But if you can please just shelve the eternal enemies thing for a second, we have a situation. And by “we,” I mean everything alive. We're sorta… all gonna die.
feels like sliding lucifer into a crowley-like role
Tumblr media
i don't hate it. i'd rather have crowley be crowley and lucifer be lucifer though. it was a good scene, they play well off each other and they're letting cas be snarky and reasonable this week
SAM You get a name? DEAN Nope. But... from his description? Evil Colonel Sanders. Asmodeus.
(wiki)
Colonel Sanders was an Southern American business man, famous for creating Kentucky Fried Chicken. The name "Evil Colonel Sanders" was attributed to Asmodeus by the Supernatural fandom soon after his debut, due to his southern drawl and white suit.
well it's cute when i find out i was also picking up what they were putting down same as everyone else (my desc: the white suit and the thick accent and the speechifying, it’s giving confederate general slash colonel sanders vibes. the foghorn leghorn knives out treatment)
oh no surprise it is namebrand mr ketchup after all 🙄
KETCH She was captured by the British Men of Letters some years back. I discovered she'd sewn a powerful charm into her body that could bring her back should she be killed. I struck a deal wherein she did the same for me in return for allowing her to escape.
sure why not
Tumblr media
dun dun dun mr ketchup is working for general sanders. whatever, man.

how do you know speight doesn't know how to direct? (not picking a fight just reading the tshirt)
thank you for the clarification. i know this for two reasons. one:
Success of America 101 launched Speight into the world of commercial directing. He has helmed several spots for Pepsi among other major national brands. Following his success in commercial directing and rigorous preparation in Warner Bros. TV Director's Workshop, Speight made debut as TV show director on Supernatural's season 11 episode "Just My Imagination".
yeah just what i wanted. guy who films pepsi cans to film my television show.
two: i have seen. his episodes. the ones that stick out in memory are stuck in the middle with you and 15.18. sitmwy is a mess on the writing + directive fronts imo and i mean. so is 15.18 jdsfjnfd. but these episodes in particular are really easy to compare and contrast because a) director richard speight jr b) destiel love confession. and they're just so. impersonal on a visual front. idk how to explain it but. okay. diner scene. right?
Tumblr media
this scene looks full
Tumblr media
this scene looks empty.
another one:
Tumblr media
full scene.
Tumblr media
empty scene. even though they're the same scene.
even comparing against supernatural itself instead of quentin tarantino, speight's episodes feel so Empty to me because emotionally, they're very intimate, but visually, there's so much space. like.
free to be you and me. an emotionally intimate episode. less so than sitmwy or 15.18, but it Feels closer/more emotional in the visuals. to me this
Tumblr media
FEELS like it's shot closer and more emotionally than. this
Tumblr media
even tho in the first picture. they're just doing a job/are not touching. and in the second picture. cas has just recovered from certain death and everyone's relieved/they are touching. to circle back to reservoir dogs. the warehouse where everything takes place is completely empty space. there's nothing. there's a chair. there's the characters. and there's the other 85% of the scene that is just open air. but it feels crazy emotional because of the way it's shot.
Tumblr media
yes. blood. hands wiping dying forehead. hands covered in blood from holding someone's guts in. close. perseonal. all the shots between orange and white are like this. even when one of them is in the backseat of the car and one in the front. you can still visually see them connected.
Tumblr media
this is the singular still i can find where dying cas is in the same frame as someone else. everything else is cut to cas. cut to someone. cut to cas. cut to someone. it's disjointed and lonely looking.
15.18 has been talked to death with how it's shot so distantly they're never in the same frame they're standing 6 feet apart it cuts back and forth and back and forth and their faces never rly get a chance to Breathe and react before there's another cut. but that's not something that's 15.18 specific it's prevalent in a lot of supernatural and it's CERTAINLY present in speight's other eps.

Suptober 2022, Day 1: Maze/Maize
One day, Gabriel realized the lock on his cage was open. So he ran. It was risky, he knew that. Demons were guarding the halls and at every corner Asmodeus could appear. But he had to take this chance.
Soon, he knew this was just a torture. Hallways twisted and turned, went on forever just to have Gabriel return to where he started. The empty halls that led nowhere were a maze that just ended up at madness.

Suptober 2022, Day 3: Digital
Tumblr media
At the end of Casa Erotica 13, there's a special feature built in just for Sam. It was easy for Gabriel to add a touch of his grace to the DVD, just enough to make it seem real. So on the days when Sam can't take it anymore, when his angels death makes him want to quit, he let's it play on, waiting to feel the static touch of his lover, no matter if it's real or not.

Amusing at the Amusement
Tumblr media
Gabriel X Plus size!Reader
It was (Y/n) and Gabriel's anniversary so they decided to go to the local amusement park.
After all that how they met.
*How they met*
Sam, Dean and (y/n) were on a hunt for what ever may have been lurking at the amusement park, there was lots of strange happenings like prizes coming to life, kids sweets just disappearing, Rides that were fully functioning just stopping.
Turns out it was all a trickster as the hunters posed themselves as park workers as the other amusement park employees kept on quitting.  Sam and Dean had met this trickster on a few occasions before they had let (y/n) join them
Gabriel could feel that (y/n) was a badass and had some sort of innocence to them as well.  Not to mention gorgeous and he thanked his father for this beautiful creation.  He stopped his tricks after all it was a fun way to get at Sam and Dean Winchester.
*Present*
Gabriel and (y/n) walked hand in hand through the amusement park trying to pick the next ride to go on.
"How about the leviathan" Gabe says already running to it practically dragging (y/n) with him.
They waited for about 30 minutes and made it to the start of the ride where Gabriel decided that the pair would sit at the very front.  The seats looked a little small and (y/n) felt like the safety bar wouldn't go over their thick thighs.
The pair sat down and luckily the bar clicked twice like it was supposed to
The ride started and they went over a couple small hills and turns and (y/n) didn't mind and Gabriel was laughing beside them.  (Y/n) was comfortable and having fun up until they went up the Giant hill.  It felt like it took 5 minutes to get up it.  (Y/n) swore that they could almost touch the clouds.  The ride stoped at the top for what felt like 2 minutes but was really only a couple seconds....then it drops at lightning speed goes around a corner around a loop and then the ride comes to an end.
The couple gets off the ride.
"I really don't like you right now" (y/n) says storming off away from Gabriel.  "Baby I'm sorry I just wanted a little prank I'm sorry if the ride scared you" Gabe says.  His heart pounding with adrenaline and love because he'd never want to heart you.  "I could almost touch the clouds Gabriel, I'm sorry but that's way to high up for me" (y/n) says tears starting to form.  "I'm so sorry buttercup" Gabriel says and holds his partner, smothering them in kisses.  "Honestly I forgot about your fear of really tall heights for a moment because how exciting today has been, I love you and appreciate you so much" he says.  "Can our next activity maybe not be a ride please" (y/n) says trying to calm themselves down.  "Absolutely darling" He says and pickes them up to go play some games.
They end up going to the ring toss.  The employee demonstrates and (y/n) decides to give it a try, than another and another.  Almost out of money to play (y/n) decides to give up.  "So much for the stuffed Scooby Doo" (y/n) pouts.
"How about I give it a try" Gabe says with a smirk.  He pays and gets all the rings right in the spots needed.  (Y/n) smiles knowing he most likely cheated and they decide they've had enough of the amusement park and decide to leave back to the bunker as it was almost dark.
"Besides a couple downfalls I had a good time today Gabe" (y/n) says and kisses Gabe.  "Me to sugar me too, I'm exhausted let's get some sleep" he says starting to head to bed. 
(Y/n) rushes ahead and locks the door to the bedroom.  "By the way Gabe your sleeping on the couch tonight I'm sleeping in the bed and Scooby is replacing you tonight" they say with a laugh.
The next morning
Sam walks in the living room "ugh Gabriel why aren't you with your fiance" Sam asks.  Dean walks in next "let's be honest he probably deserved it" Dean says stuffing his face with pie.

A/N: Wow, I actually wrote something! It’s a miracle! (insert laughing emoji here) This is loosely based on a true story that happened to me recently. Not at a con, but that’s why it’s loosely based. Hope you enjoy it!
Tumblr media
If everyone in the world kept a running list of all the stupid things they’d done in their lives, yours would most likely be one of the longest. It wasn’t totally your fault, you just tended to do some really dumb things at the worst possible times.
Like right now.
One second you felt perfectly fine, and the next, you were starting to feel lightheaded and shaky. You tried to hide it as best you could, especially since you didn’t want to upset the fans, but if you didn’t fix this soon, things weren’t going to be pretty.
It really didn’t help that this was your first ever Supernatural convention appearance.
“You doing okay?”
Misha’s voice shook you out of your thoughts. The two of you had a tiny break during your group photo op while the next people in line got their props ready. You glanced over at him, taking in his concerned expression.
“I’m fine,” you told him over the music. Sure, you were lying through your teeth, but he didn’t need to know that.
His features were skeptical, but before he could say anything else, more fans stepped up to take their picture with you, and the conversation ended.
Once your group op was finished, you thought you might actually have a chance to head back to the green room and grab something to eat, but luck wasn’t on your side. A lovely volunteer told you about a sudden schedule change that meant you had back to back autos and ops with almost no break, on top of your solo panel and meet & greet. In spite of your exhaustion and empty stomach, you agreed to it. It was stupid, sure, but you didn’t want to complain and seem like a whiny bitch. Plus, if you said something, it might mess everyone else up.
Long couldn’t even begin to describe the rest of your day.
One thing after another, after another, after another; you felt like you were running around like a crazy person. If you weren’t at your autos, you were in solo photo ops, then your forty-five minute meet & greet, then in another group photo op -- it seemed like it was never-ending.
By the time your solo panel came around, you were practically running on empty. The one thing that was going to get you through the next hour was the thought of finally slinking back to the green room and getting more than two minutes to relax and eat something.
“You guys are in for a real treat today!” Rich told the audience.
From where you stood backstage, you could hear their cheers, and your heart fluttered a little. Whether it was from the thought that they were excited to see you or your waning strength, you didn’t know, but you couldn’t focus on it.
“I don’t think I’ve ever met someone so wonderfully pleasant and sweet in my life,” Rob said. “Do you, Rich?”
The band began to play as Richard responded, “No I haven’t, Robbie. And now it’s time for all of you to meet her, too! You know her as Jenna Kershaw, best friend of the Winchester brothers, here making her first ever con appearance, ladies and gentlemen please welcome Y/N Y/L/N!”
That was your cue. Forcing your unsteady legs to move, you pushed back the curtain and bounded up the steps leading to the stage. Despite your fatigue, a huge smile found its way onto your face as you were greeted by thousands of screams and clapping hands.
“Thank you, guys!” you said. As Rich and Rob left the stage, you grabbed a chair to your right and brought it front and center. That might buy you a little time. “How are y’all doing today?”
The crowd screamed their reply, and the panel had begun. People asked you tons of questions, mostly original but with some generic ones thrown in, and you did your best to answer them as well as you could. Everyone was so delightful to talk to, and the audience helped you push through and try to make it to the end.
Everything came to a halt pretty quickly, though.
You’d lasted a good half hour before things started falling apart. As you listened to one of the questions, your vision started swimming and the top of your head was on fire. Trying not to show it, you shook your head a little to focus back in.
“Uh, are you okay?” the fan in line asked, her voice etched with worry.
“What? Oh, uh, yeah, I’m fine,” you assured her with a tight lipped smile. “Could you just repeat your question for me please?”
The fan replied, “O-okay, sure. My question was who do you think is more protective of Jenna, Sam or Dean?”
“Well, I think I’m the most protective of her,” you said to the amusement of the crowd, “but if I--if I had to pick, I… I would probably say--”
It was as though your lungs couldn’t fill with air fast enough, leaving you gasping. Black started filling the edges of your vision, slowly creeping in until you could hardly see. You thought someone was saying something, to you or at you, but all you could hear was a dull ringing. With the thought of taking a small break on your mind, just for five minutes, you stood up, and then you fell asleep.
When you woke up, you were being held in strong arms, carried bridal style backstage, to the green room, where they helped you sit in one of the tall chairs. There was a flurry of activity around you, people running around and shouting, which only served to further confuse you.
“Here, drink this,” a voice said.
Someone handed you a water bottle that you gratefully accepted. A shaking hand uncapped it and put it up to your lips, letting the cool liquid wash down your parched throat. Another voice called for a second water bottle, to be placed on the back of your neck. After a few moments, you started regaining a little of your strength.
“Y/N, can you hear me?”
You turned toward the voice and saw, once your vision finally cleared, Rob staring at you with obvious concern. Giving a slight nod, you watched his features melt into relief.
“What happened?” you asked, your words a little slurred.
“You passed out,” Rob told you. “EMTs are on their way right now, so just sit tight, okay?”
You tried to say something to him in response, but someone was pushing the water bottle back up to your mouth.
It took less than two minutes for the medical team to arrive. They crowded around you, firing a bunch of questions at you. How do you feel? How old are you? Have you been drinking? When’s the last time you ate? Your head would have been spinning if you hadn’t already been disoriented.
Finally, they seemed to get the information they needed and left you alone, talking instead with some of the others to find out what happened from a different perspective. Before long, they were heading out the door, leaving you with your friends and the convention staff.
“Y/N, do you know how this happened?” Kim asked, handing you a little food to tide you over.
You shrugged. “Probably because I haven’t had anything to eat or drink since this morning.”
“This morning?” Misha repeated. “Sweetheart, that was hours ago! Why didn’t you come back here and eat something?”
Your face burned as you replied, “I didn’t have time. With the schedule change I had all my ops and autos and stuff back to back all day, so I never had a chance to grab anything, plus I didn’t want to disappoint any of the fans, especially since this is my first con, but now I’ve just screwed everything up as usual and they’re gonna hate me if they didn’t already and--”
“Hey, kid, breathe,” Briana cut you off, placing a gentle hand on your shoulder. “No one’s gonna hate you for something you had no control over.”
“But that’s the thing -- I could have controlled it,” you told her. “I could have said no to the schedule change.”
“Why didn’t you?”
Lowering your eyes, you fiddled with the bottle cap in your hand. “Because I didn’t wanna mess anybody up. If I said no it would have screwed up everybody else and I didn’t wanna be the cause of that.”
An awkward hush fell over the group surrounding you, broken only by your occasional chewing. You hated that you were so vulnerable right then, so open and raw, even if you trusted these people. It made you feel weak, and you hated feeling weak, which is exactly what got you into the mess in the first place.
Just then, Rich came back to the green room, looking a little rushed. As his eyes fell on you, relief washed over his face.
“How you doin’?”
“Good,” you said. “Better.”
“That’s good to hear,” he said with a smile. “Do you wanna stay back here and take it easy or head out and finish your panel, just for a couple minutes?”
“I think she should stay here and--”
“No.”
Everyone in the room turned toward you, an array of emotions displayed in their expressions.
You sighed, saying, “I wanna finish the panel. Those people out there didn’t shell out tons of money to see me faint and give up.”
“You’re not giving up, sweetheart,” Rob assured you. “No one would blame you for staying back here and taking it easy.”
“I don’t care. I’m finishing the panel. Rich, can you give me a hand?”
It took a bit longer than you’d wanted, but with Richard and Rob’s help, you made it back to the stage, where you were greeted with enthusiastic cheers and shouts of “We love you!” Rob grabbed you your chair from before, along with a much needed water bottle, and you were ready to go.
“Hey guys,” you greeted sheepishly. “I should probably apologize for before. I was kinda dumb and didn’t eat anything all day, which is why I passed out. I’m fine now, but I’m sorry if I scared y’all.”
The audience screamed their assurances, making you smile.
“Alright,” you said, “now where were we?”

Prompt Plot: Secret Admirer
Characters: Gabriel x reader
Requested by: @unleashthemidnight
Note: I actually really enjoyed writing this, I hope you like it too :)
Gender: Any/Neutral      Triggers: None      Words: 1,816
Tumblr media
It was pretty normal really, random things appearing on your pillow or around your room. At first it was notes with reminders or compliments, a pack of your favorite candy, a single flower. But now that Valentines Day was coming up it seemed to increase. The notes turned into pieces of art and the flowers turned into giant bouquets.
You had confronted both Sam and Dean about it and they denied it, at first you thought they were doing it to cheer you up. But one day when you got back from a hunt, there was a rose on your pillow which you knew hadn’t been their previously. 
In fact, when Sam and Dean found out about your “Secret Admirer” they freaked out. They were convinced that it was some creepy supernatural freak that had targeted you. But nothing bad has ever happened, so they calmed down.
When Castiel came back, you asked him about it, but he was completely clueless. You really had no idea who, or what, was doing this, and you really didn’t understand why.
There was really only one person that you would expect to do something like this, but he was dead. Gabriel was dead.
- - -
You came out of the bathroom, freshly showered, rubbing the towel through your hair when your eye caught on something. A small box sitting on your pillow.
Walking over and opening the door you listened intently for any noise of someone in the bunker. Sam and Dean had gone to go get some food, so you were all alone. Hearing nothing, you walked back over to the pillow and picked up the box. Opening it you stared at the object for a few moments. 
It was an old antique looking locket, it was gold and oval shaped, with a symbol carved into it you didn’t recognize. This was the first time you had been left a piece of jewelry. Picking it up you admired it, opening the locket, a small folded piece of paper fell out. Unfolding it, you read the familiar handwriting of your admirer “To keep you safe”.
Just when you were deciding weather of not to wear it, you heard Sam and Dean come in. Getting dressed you quickly went out to see them. Walking into the kitchen you saw them setting out some food. 
“Hey y/n, they didn’t have what you wanted so I got you a burger”
“Thanks, um, I got another gift from...well whoever it is”
Sam and Dean both looked up, seeing the locket in your hand.
“A necklace?” Dean asked while walking over to you, taking it from you “Hey, Sam do you know what this symbol means?”
Walking over, Sam looked the locket over “Well, it’s definitely pretty old, but I’ll have to look it up” Walking over to the bookcase Dean was still looking at the locket, a look of worry on his face.
“There was also a note inside”
“What did it say?”
“To keep you safe”
“I don’t know if I should be worried or touched” he said sarcastically, handing the locket back to you.
While you ate, both you and Sam looked through some books for the symbol. But so far you had found nothing. Giving up you closed your book and leaned back in your chair “I wonder if it’s enchanted”
“That could be what the note meant” Sam said closing his book as well.
“Well, I don’t think you should wear it, not until we know what it is, and who keeps doing this, I mean seriously, this has been going on forever”
Hearing the sound of wings you all turned to see Castiel looking around the room “Hey Cas”
“Hello” he said approaching you.
“Hey perfect, Cas, do you know what this is?” Dean asked picking up the locket and tossing it to Castiel.
Castiel looked at it for only a moment “It’s a enochian locket, very rare, the symbol on the front means ‘protection’, it has a magic spell on it too keep anyone who wears it safe from harm, where did you get this?”
“Y/n’s secret admirer left it”
Castiel looked concerned “Very few creatures could have found this locket” he slowly handed you the locket, concern in his eyes
“Like an Angel?” you asked curiously
“Yes, but also demons”
“Great, demons. Hey, wait, what if...what if it’s Crowley?”
You and Sam both looked at Deam in surprise, talking in unison “Crowley?”
“Yeah, I mean, he’s always flirting with you, maybe he’s smitten”
“Did you just say smitten?” Sam teased
“No way, I mean, Crowley?” you thought to yourself for a moment “Oh god”
Dean chuckled “Looks like you got a Demon Sugar Daddy”
You frowned before standing “I’m going to bed” as you walked back to your room you could still hear Dean chuckling under his breath.
As you entered your room, you lied in your bed and turned the locket over in your hands. You spoke to yourself quietly “There’s no way it’s Crowley” You set the locket on your bedside table and got ready for bed. You stayed awake most of the night, unable to stop thinking about who it was that kept giving you these gift, and who wanted to keep you safe.
-
The next morning, you, Sam and Dean headed out to a nearby town for a hunt. It seemed like a vampire might be having a party there. When you got there, it didn’t take much digging around to figure out you were right, but what you were wrong about, was the fact that it was more than just one vampire.
It didn’t take you long to find their hideout, you walked quietly through the building, looking for the vamp. When you made your way into a large room, you saw a tall man standing in the middle of the room smirking at you.
“Come for dinner?”
Dean smirked “Not so much”.
Before you could approach the vampire you were grabbed from behind and thrown backwards. The other vampires came out of the shadows unexpectedly, taking out your blade you sliced at the vampire that had attacked you. Dodging it he lunged at you. Dodging you managed to kick him and knock him backwards before you took the opportunity to cut off his head.
Just as you were running towards Sam and Dean another vampire walked out in front of you. Getting in a fighting stance, you felt the presence of someone else behind you. Turning quickly you sliced at the vampire as the other one jumped you from behind. Kicking out, you made the vampire in front of you stumble, while the one holding you bit down on your neck, but rather than feeling their fangs press into your skin, they pulled back in pain as if they had bit into metal.
Taking the opportunity you spun and sliced her head off, but you had let your guard down. As you looked to see if Sam and Dean were okay, the vampire behind you lunged forward and stabbed you in the back with a dagger.
You stumbled forward, the feeling was unusual. Rather than feeling pain, you felt pressure and the breath leave your body. Turning, you saw the vampire staring at you shocked. Lunging forward you punched her in the face before cutting her head off.
Standing, you turned to see Sam and Dean finishing off the last few vampires. Dean looked up at you, with an intense look before running over to you “Did he just stab you?”
“I...don’t know”
Dean turned your body, seeing a tear in both your jacket and shirt, but no wound to your body “What the hell?”
Realizing what happened you turned towards Dean as you pulled the locket out of your shirt “I guess it works”
Dean stared at it for a moment before looking into your eyes “Good think you wore that, you’d be dead if you hadn’t”
-
The drive back was quiet, and now you were sitting on your bed again. You were still wearing the locket, twirling it between your fingers. Hearing the sound of wings, you didn’t look up, but instead just spoke aloud “Hey Cas”
“Nope, try again”
Your head snapped up, you stared in shock at the man standing at the foot of your bed “Gabriel?”
“The one and only”
Standing up from your bed you took a few steps toward him “You’re..”
“Devilishly handsome, perfect?”
“Alive”
“Oh yeah, that too” he replied with a smirk “Glad to see me?” Standing in front of him, you were suddenly filled with anger. Smacking him hard on the chest he pulled away from you “Ow, hey!...is that a yes or a no?”
“How are you still alive?”
“Long story, boring really, but let’s not talk about me, instead let’s talk about that close call you had today, you really need to be more careful when you’re facing multiple bad guys, if you weren’t wearing that locket, you’d be gonzo”
You stared at in him silent shock as he walked over to your bed and threw himself on it “It was you” Gabriel perked up his eyebrow “You’re the one whose been leaving me gifts and notes, and this” you said touching the locket.
Tilting his head, he smirked “Guilty”
You began walking over to him, anger written across your face “Why? Why not just...show up, tell me you were alive?”
“Well, I had some stuff to figure out, but...I just couldn’t leave you alone. Not with those two dumbos watching you back. So...I've been watching you, leaving you things to make you smile, and with that close call you had a couple weeks ago with those wendigos, I thought you needed something else to keep you alive, so I went and hunted that bad boy down” he stared at you for a moment before sitting up “But you knew didn’t you? That it was me?”
“No...I mean, I thought that you would be the only person to do something like this, but...I did think you were dead”
Gabriel saw the anger in your eyes turn to sadness. Sighing, he glanced down at his hands “Yeah..” clearing his throat he suddenly stood up, standing directly in front of you “Well, I better go, got places to see, people to freak out”
“Aren’t you going to tell Sam and Dean you’re back?”
“Pssh, nah, you can do that. Besides, I only came to see you, tomorrow is Valentines Day after all” he turned and winked at you “See ya sweetheart” leaning forward he pressed a kiss to your cheek before disappearing.
Staring at the spot he had just left, you wracked your brain trying to figure out if what just happened really did happened. And when you turned around to see a large bouquet of candy and chocolate sitting on your desk, you smiled knowing it really did.

Ramblings about Lucifer referencing Bones, “Close your eyes.” and shows influencing each other
That was never just a Bones reference being made and the season finale admitted it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv_1dJk5yEM
David Boreanaz played the ironically-named Angel on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel: the Series. His character has *so many* parallels with Lucifer (far more than Booth outside of the law enforcement/crime procedural connection).
Angel's spinoff also has noir crime drama aspects mixed with the supernatural starring an immortal protagonist with a dark past and infamously villainous reputation fighting evil as a supernatural private detective in the City of Angels (a city known for its dark underbelly juxtaposed with fame and glamor, broken dreams and chasing eternal youth) and navigating human law (including the LAPD and evil lawyers) while not legally existing.
Angel also fell in love with a blonde human heroine (Buffy Summers) after lifetimes of self-destructive, not-so-heroic behaviors (getting his soul back did *not* make Angel a hero and human Liam was a lecherous drunk with unfulfilled ambitions and father issues) who inspired him to become a better man and make human connections.
AtS made heavy use of sprawling nighttime Downtown L.A. cityscape shots, which Lucifer also shared an abundance of.
During both of their first cases, they failed to save the troubled blonde girl they were trying to help (Tina and Delilah, respectively). They also have a connection inside the LAPD through a blonde cop who also takes their identity secrets pretty badly (Kate Lockley in Angel's case).
Note that Buffy not only screamed (twice, given it repeated during her memory loss in Halloween), but also came after Angel with a crossbow when she thought he'd attacked her mother (it was Darla), so Chloe taking the Devil face reveal (Monster Reveals are iconic old horror imagery) poorly to the point of considering poisoning is par for the course. However, it only took Buffy seven episodes instead of three seasons to get the identity reveal via seeing the horrific second face (arguably also an accident on Angel's part).
They are metaphorically or literally Hell's angels. They also had long stays in Hell or a hell dimension.
Lucifer and Angel are also both Prodigal Sons with long-held grudges against their long-absent fathers (patricide in Liam/Angel(us)'s case) and they're later faced with a situation where they have unexpected, thought-impossible offspring who show up as adults (neither got to raise their miracle child) wanting revenge. Yup, major Connor/Rory parallel there.
Angel is also in a constant struggle with the Powers that Be manipulating his fate and free will (like Lucifer, he's a champion of free will no matter the cost) and making him prophecy's bitch.
Bones famously got jokes about how Booth is Angel getting his Shanshu (made human), since the character is given constant Angel-isms like references to a dark past having killed people (Booth is also named after a historical murderer, in addition to having been a sniper), both being Catholics full of Catholic guilt (note that the Buffyverse is most accurately polytheistic, though Angel does face off against a take on the antichrist--Angel has constant biblical imagery/themes and not just because of vampire iconography), kicking down doors (just not off their entire frames--LOL), turning on a dime and threatening people up against walls, constant wink-wink references to the Buffyverse (familiar casting, references to the Hyperion Hotel, etc...), etc...
The Lucifer finale used the words "Close your eyes." right before Lucifer is sent to Hell. This is literally the BtVS season 2 finale where Buffy kisses Angel and sends him to hell for a century with a stab to the gut (see the season 5 finale, not to mention Lucifer giving up his life for Chloe's à la I Will Remember You).
Note that D.B. Woodside was on BtVS (playing Robin Wood, whose Slayer mother Nikki Wood was killed by Spike). Aimee Garcia was in both episodes of AtS (Birthday--she's older than she looks!) and Bones. See her also playing a cross-wearing religious girl on Supernatural who was slaughtered in a police precinct by Lilith. Kevin Alejandro was also in an episode of Bones.
Tricia Helfer was in an episode of Supernatural playing a ghost who reenacts the night of her death every year. BtVS also had an episode along those lines, but with Buffy and Angelus possessed (not to mention Phantom Dennis!). Lucifer having Dan as a ghost is yet another thing they all have in common (ditto referencing Ghost, Patrick Swayze and/or Unchained Melody--Vincent Schiavelli a.k.a. Ghost's subway ghost was Jenny's uncle Enyos, whom Angelus killed).
Lucifer name-checked Castiel and Supernatural referenced Lucifer using their Lucifer (crime-fighting angel in L.A. made it a double-reference whammy). Supernatural returned the favor again by having Castiel forced to sing in Enochian. Lucifer's reference to his singing voice was already a zing about Misha Collins having to put on that monotone gravel voice and Enochian being far from melodious.
Russell T Davies was quite heavily inspired by the Buffyverse when he revived Doctor Who and spun off Torchwood, so there are absolute tons of Buffy, Angel and Spike respectively in Rose Tyler, the 9th/10th Doctors, Captain Jack Harkness and Captain John Hart (right down to the actor). School Reunion is the episode where the Buffyverse inspiration is most on the nose, complete with Anthony Stewart Head saying "shooty dog thing" in a school setting and a Mayor/Angel-esque speech about the curse of immortality. The Time War gave the Doctor a huge genocide-level guilt complex. Note that the creator of DC comics' version of Lucifer, Neil Gaiman, has also written for Doctor Who and is also the co-creator of Good Omens (the show is brimming with Doctor Who Easter eggs thanks to David Tennant). A barely-recognizable Tom Ellis played Martha Jones' ex-fiancé Tom Milligan during the Year that Never Was, as well.
A lot of shows take inspiration from the Buffyverse and you've probably seen some of them. It isn't just the copycat vampire romance stories either.
Angel's forerunners in turn were a mix of guilt-stricken, rat-eating Louis de Pointe du Lac (his Jekyll/Hyde-esque alter-ego Angelus is closer to the pre-retcon, fully-evil Lestat de Lioncourt, who got woobified into an antihero rocker not unlike Spike--the entire Fanged Four mirror Anne Rice's character lineup), sword-wielding, immortality trope-influencers Connor/Duncan MacLeod of Highlander fighting for the Prize of humanity (akin to Pinocchio becoming a "real boy"--see also Barnabas Collins of Dark Shadows, though he was before vampires became antihero superheroes, not just sympathetic antivillains) and Nick Knight of Forever Knight (vampire detective).
Additionally, Tom Welling was famously the longest-serving Clark Kent of them all (Smallville) on the old WB (there's that DC comics connection, too), so it's not just a Fox shows thing (though Fox, not just Warner Brothers, did indeed own the Buffyverse). One of the least-known things about Clark is that he also has an immortality problem where he wouldn't age parallel to Lois (they wouldn't be able to have kids either) without a workaround. The Kryptonite line directed at Cain/Pierce by Lucifer was quite on the nose! Lucifer and Smallville sort of crossed over even further in Crisis on Infinite Earths, so Tom is canonically the face of both Clark and Cain in parallel universes of the DC multiverse.
Supernatural had quite recently had their own takes on Cain (played by Timothy Omundson, who also played God Johnson) and the Mark of Cain when Lucifer did it. Dan's killer Le Mec was, of course, Rob Benedict, who was God a.k.a. Chuck Shurley, the ultimate villain of Supernatural. Richard Speight, Jr., who was archangel Gabriel/Loki the Trickster, directed a lot of Lucifer's later episodes in addition to being a prolific Supernatural director.
Supernatural and Lucifer use the exact same font for their titles (Supernatural Knight).
The X-Files (which Supernatural referenced constantly) and Supernatural also had stories about nephilim (see the apocryphal Book of Enoch). Lucifer ultimately had two nephilim (forbidden interspecies offspring of angels and humans), even if not saying so as a known concept. Connor can also be compared to the vampire equivalent of being something like a dhampir, though he's not quite that (mostly-but-not-quite-human offspring of two vampires instead of a human/vampire hybrid--see Blade for an actual dhampir). Supernatural has also covered the even rarer cambion species (human/demon hybrid).

Work
Warnings: FLUFF, RPF (real person fiction)
Characters: Jared, Jensen, Rob, Richard. Actress!Reader
Request/Summary: can you do a J2+R2 imagine where the reader is really stressed about school work (she's around 16), and she ends up having an anxiety attack in her trailer, then R2 and J2 (her father like figures on set) find her and help her get through it :)) it's kinda based off me as i have exams all month and this is a really relaxing thing to do while i have free time, cause why go outside when you could scroll tumblr
Word Count: 1,064
Y/N: your name
Y/N/N: your nickname
Work, school work, home work, job work, work, work, work. It’s like your life was solely based on this now. Stress is like a grey cloud, always over you, and you really didn’t know what to do. You tried your hardest for the last weeks to try and act normally but it was getting harder everyday, with more work being put on you. The thing is you didn’t hate your job work you actually quite enjoyed it, but that, on top of a million other things was beginning to make you crumble.You had managed the first week to act calm and try to be as productive as you could, but with final tests coming up that little calm began to disappear.
Right now you were sat in your trailer, scripts, home work, projects, and papers in general covering your entire desk. Some papers even on the floor, it was a complete mess. Anxiety began to bubble up inside you. The pressure from everyone’s expectations that you were supposed to be okay, that you’re used to work, it was all crushing you. Your breathing began to accelerate along with your heart, you looked down and saw your hands shaking. You heard a knock on your door making you subconsciously wipe the tears that had fallen from your eyes.
“Hey Y/N! It’s time to go on set!” You heard the voice of one of your co-star’s and best friends, Jared say.
“Kay, I’ll be out in a minute.” You cursed yourself upon hearing your voice crack, a big sign that you were crying.
“You okay in there kiddo?” He asked you with his worried father voice he’d developed when he had his kids.
“Yeah I’m-I’m just uhh. Let’s go on set first.” You stuttered as you opened the door to your trailer and jumped out.
“Okay, kid.” He sighed and gave you a look. You knew it meant that you absolutely HAD to tell him later. He put his arm around you and guided you to the set.
You calmed down a bit when you arrived on set, feeling a bit better you tried your best to finish the scene. J2 (Jensen and Jared), and Rob, were on set acting out while Rich directed. It was all going smooth until you spaced out and your mind began to wander. You were there and saying your lines but your mind was somewhere else. You began to think about everything you had due soon, what you were missing, tests, everything. Once again, the anxiety rose from your stomach and your eyes began to water. Suddenly the room felt cold and you began to shake slightly. You closed your eyes, you felt the room go silent and someone shake you slightly.
“Y/N/N? Y/N/N, hey open your eyes.” You recognized the voice to be that of your director Rich and slowly opened them. “Hey, go take a break yeah? We can continue later. How does that sound?” He said sweetly trying to help you calm down.
“I’ll take her to her trailer.” Offered Rob and protectively put his arm around you and walked out with you towards your trailer. He knew not to ask you anything at the moment so he didn’t make you anxious again talking about it, you mentally thanked him for that. Once you arrived to your trailer Rob opened the door and was caught by surprise by the mess.
“Oh, what's all this?” He asked raising his eyebrow as he inspected the stuff all over the room.
“It’s just, work.” You sighed and sat on the bed tiredly.
“Does all this work have to do with why you’re like this right now?” He asked you.
“Yeah, it’s just so much of it. I normally don’t mind, but it’s just getting too much. I don’t  think I remember what it feels like to be relaxed.” there was silence for a moment while Rob thought about what to do. You began to feel sleepy and closed your eyes.
“Well, you can’t stay here right now. Take a nap in my trailer and I’ll clean up here.” he said and turned around to see you already sound asleep. He smiled slightly and began to clean up all the papers for you. When he was done he went outside, J2 and Richard already waiting for him out there.
“What’s going on with Y/N/N?” Asked Rich upon seeing Rob come out.
“It’s the work. We always forget that Y/N has to balance school work and this work. The kid’s stressed.” Rob explained and they all nodded in realization.
“What should we do?” Asked Jensen
“Let’s give her a break, she needs it.”
You didn’t know that as you slept your best friends were organizing to give you some well deserved vacations. When you woke up you almost didn’t recognize where you were, your trailer was almost squeaky clean. The only thing that got your senses back was seeing your four friends sitting around waiting for you to wake up.
“Hey guys..” You said softly, sitting up and yawned still pretty tired.
“Hey, how you doin’?” Jensen asked you as he watched you.
“I’m uh, better. I guess, I definitely did need the nap though.” You answered.
“Well guess what, we talked with the producers and they said you could have two weeks off.” Said Richard excitedly.
“Wait, really?”
“Yup, you can go home and rest all you want. We’ll catch you up here, and you can finish all your work with a little more peace.” You heard Jared say from across the trailer, you looked over at him where he was spinning around in your desk chair and laughed slightly.
“Thanks guys, for everything. It’s funny how if someone would’ve told me a few years ago that my best friends would be two overgrown and two under grown men” you made sure to look at both Rich and Rob when you said this, both rolling your eyes to you before you continued, “I would have thought they were crazy. But, I’m glad you’re my best friends.” you finished.
“That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.” Said Rich as he fake cried, making a giggle burst out of you. Soon you were all laughing and you had forgotten your worries, because right now you were with them.

Richard Speight Jr's speech at the All Heroes Monument in Tonawanda
A couple of articles in full in case you have trouble accessing the links without a VPN:
Article by Peter Gallivan
BUFFALO, N.Y. — On June 6th, 1944, Warren "Skip" Muck was one of hundreds of American servicemen who dropped into Normandy to force Adolf Hitler's army out of France and beat them back to Germany.
On January 10, 1944, the City of Tonawanda native was killed in a foxhole in Foy, Belgium at the Battle of the Bulge. For decades, his family back here in Western New York had few details about his service and the day he died. That all changed with a simple phone call according to his niece, Becky Krurnowski. Becky says her mother, Skip's sister, got off of a call back in 2001 with more questions than answers. "She said there's an actor trying to get a hold of me, and something with Tom Hanks. They want to make a movie."
As it turned out, the actor was Richard Speight, researching for his upcoming role in "A Band of Brothers." Becky and her sister began a series of emails back and forth with the actor, telling him stories of Skip growing up, such as the time he swam across the Niagara River. Speight then took the stories to the writers and all of the sudden what was a bit began to grow, and Skip Muck became a series regular.
Krurnowski adds that this 75th anniversary of the Normandy invasion will have special meaning to her, taking her back to the world premiere of "A Band of Brothers"— one she attended as a guest of the studio, on Omaha Beach, Normandy.
Krurnowski says until Episode 7, they had no idea exactly how Muck had died. It showed him sharing a foxhole with one of his best friends, Alex Penkala, when they took a direct hit from a German canon shell. Becky says her mom found comfort in knowing that Skip was with his men and with his friends when he lost his life.
Lou Michel article from the Buffalo News
Saluting 'unbelievable sacrifices' Monument honors local ties to "Saving Private Ryan" and "Band of Brothers"
As some area veterans know, the story lines of two epic movies about World War II - "Saving Private Ryan" and "Band of Brothers" -- center on two local families.
Now the memories of those World War II soldiers will be enshrined along the banks of the Niagara River in the City of Tonawanda.
That's because the four Niland brothers, whose story helped inspire "Saving Private Ryan," and Sgt. Warren H. "Skip" Muck, a central figure in "Band of Brothers," hailed from Tonawanda.
An Amherst couple, Rick and Lisa Lewis, donated $150,000 for the multistone monument to pay special tribute to the Nilands and Muck for their sacrifices.
"There will be one stone for each family, and etched on the stones will be the stories of the Niland brothers and Skip Muck," said Rick Lewis, whose family lived nearly a century in Tonawanda and became prominent when it owned the Talking Phone Book.
In the center of the veterans memorial plaza, which will be dedicated Saturday, will be a 10-foot-tall granite replica of the Washington Monument with a tribute to all other City of Tonawanda veterans from various wars.
"This will be in Niawanda Park directly behind City Hall, and at night it will be prominently illuminated, and I believe it will become a signature landmark for the City of Tonawanda," Lewis said.
The story about the Niland brothers is well known in some veteran circles.
On June 6, 1944, at the start of the Normandy invasion, Michael I. and Augusta Niland received the first of three telegrams that three of their four sons were missing in action. Two other telegrams soon followed, notifying the parents that two more sons were missing.
Their fourth son, Sgt. Frederick W. "Fritz" Niland, an Army paratrooper, was participating in the invasion.
War Department officials wasted no time ordering Fritz Niland out of the combat zone, once his whereabouts were determined. It was that effort that inspired the basic storyline of Steven Spielberg's 1998 movie starring Tom Hanks and Matt Damon.
The other Niland brothers were not as fortunate. Tech. Sgt. Robert J. Niland perished on the day of the invasion, and the next day, Lt. Preston T. Niland died. The third missing brother, Tech. Sgt. Edward F. Niland, was shot down over Burma and captured by the Japanese. He survived 11 months as a prisoner of war.
As for Muck, he became famous posthumously, with his story told in the best-selling book, "Band of Brothers," and later in the HBO cable network movie miniseries of the same name.
Muck was a member of Company E, 506th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, and one of about a dozen main characters. The story told of how the soldiers, first meeting in paratrooper school, became like a family.
"They banded together because they were up against so many hardships. That's why they called themselves the Band of Brothers. If any got injured, they would go to the hospital, get patched up and want to be back with their guys," said Becky Krurnowski, a 55-year-old niece of Muck.
In her City of Tonawanda home, she has a reminder of her uncle, who was killed Jan. 10, 1945, during the Battle of the Bulge.
"A million years ago, my mother gave me the American flag that had covered my uncle's coffin," Krurnowski said. "It's been in my family room for about 20 years now on display."
Adding a sense of irony, Lewis said, is the fact that Skip Muck and Fritz Niland were best friends before going off to war.
"The sacrifices made by the Muck and Niland families in Tonawanda are just unbelievable," said Thomas Beilein, a Niland family cousin and former sheriff of Niagara County who now serves as head of the State Commission on Correction.
"As children, we didn't hear stories about the sacrifices. The family never talked about it. They never held it out there for the world to see. They didn't wear it on their sleeve," said Beilein.
The monument will be officially unveiled at 11 a.m. Saturday with members of the Niland and Muck families present. Surviving members of the Band of Brothers, all around 90 years of age, are scheduled to travel here from different parts of the country to attend.
The actor who played Skip Muck, Richard Speight Jr., will also attend and speak at the dedication.
A military flyover and reception are also planned, and HBO has agreed to provide free showings of Band of Brothers after the ceremony in the nearby Riviera Theatre on Webster Street, North Tonawanda.
Pete Niland, son of the late Edward Niland, also is scheduled to speak at the ceremony.
"I'm going to especially thank Rick and Lisa Lewis, who are sponsoring this, and I'm going to make mention that this is an honor not only to our family but to all the Tonawanda families who sacrificed, and there were a number of them," said Niland.
Lewis said he and his wife have wanted to honor the two families for years and put a spotlight on the City of Tonawanda.
"The area has been very good to my family, and we're anxious to do some things for the community," said Lewis, who organized a special committee a year ago with City of Tonawanda Mayor Ronald Pilozzi and representatives from several veterans groups, including Post 264, American Legion.
Pilozzi, a Vietnam veteran who was awarded a Bronze Star with Valor and a Purple Heart, says he feels a special closeness for the monument.
"One of the reasons I'm so proud of it is I was in the 101st Airborne Division in Vietnam," Pilozzi said, explaining that Muck and a Niland family member were in the 101st.
The 101st faced its toughest assignment during the Battle of Bastogne, one of the more famous encounters against the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge.
"The 101st Airborne was completely encircled and cut off by the Germans, but they made their stand and held out long enough for Gen. [George S.] Patton to come in and relieve them and basically defeat the Nazis," Pilozzi said of the division's bravery.
Describing himself as an amateur historian for the modest working-class City of Tonawanda, Lewis said the memorial will ensure that no one ever forgets the sacrifices and bravery demonstrated by the deceased relatives of the Niland and Muck families.
The City of Tonawanda has a tremendous history of which it can be very, very proud," he said. "I still have family members there and consider myself an amateur historian of the city."
The monument, Lewis explained, is designed with enough open space to add additional stones in the future, should Tonawanda want to honor other veterans.
The monument was chiseled and inscribed by Stone Art Memorial Co. of Lackawanna. The grayish colored granite was quarried in Maine.
