    Summary

    When Ethan was fourteen, his world went up in flames. When he was fourteen, he took his mother's gun and escaped the city with a wagon of other survivors who knew better than to betray their names or faces to the smiling people in uniforms who claimed to be aid workers. He learned early that help is not always help, and that people are rarely who they claim to be, or even who they think they are.

    He learned early not to let anyone else decide for him the difference between monsters willing and monsters made.

     
    (Or, Ethan Winters, instinctive parent, Raccoon City survivor, and That Guy who the Gods just cannot seem to let die, does not kill the severely abused, mentally ill child bioweapon he finds in Louisiana. Instead, he takes her, and runs. To say this changes things is an understatement.)

    Summary

    “So... what’s the work?” Mark’s outie asks. “What am I actually doing here?”

    Mark’s thought a lot about what he might ask his outie, if he ever somehow had the chance. He’s never really thought about the questions his outie might have for him. “Uh, macrodata refinement.”

    “What does that mean?”

    “We...” Mark hesitates. “We, uh, refine macrodata.”

    Summary

    The briefing was simple: ‘Stand guard over the Michael Sword until the battle is ready to commence. Await further instructions.’

    Castiel doesn’t mind working security duty; he was briefed shortly after the initial salvation of the Sword from the pit, and again before taking up his position. He knows what to do. However, it’s easy to forget that the green room isn’t real. Time moves differently there, the space ever-changing to make a prison of mountains, cathedrals, salt flats, orchards, and whatever Castiel was led to believe about Heaven’s greatest weapon—Dean Winchester is something entirely unexpected.
