Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Heph zomgteheyes!
Title: A Matter of Rules
Fandom: Technically Numb3rs, but the characters are original
Prompt: 80. Rule Number Seven
Pairing: Brian Lobo/Benjamin Eppes, Brian Lobo/Trenton Lobo
Rating: R for language
Warnings: references to m/m incest
Summary: Trent tries to apologize.
Notes: This takes place in an earlier, friends-locked story entitled Torn and makes references to another story (also friends-locked) named Shadows of All I Have Created, in which Ben, Brian's lover, meets Brian's family. More importantly, he meets Brian's brother, Trenton, who also happens to be Brian's former lover. Apparently, Tren's not giving Bri up without a fight and Ben walks in on Bri and Tren kissing. Ben runs away. This is some of the aftermath from Brian's point of view. Oh, and when Tren mentions Requiem, that's his band, Requiem for a Dream.
For visual aids, Tren is Jared Leto as Hephaistion in Alexander and Brian is Chris Kane as Paul in Her Minor Thing.
Unbetaed because of time constraints.

#80 - Rule number seven - And so life goes on - charlies_dragon - Supernatural

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Sam and Dean2
Title: And so life goes on
Fandom: Supernatural
Prompt: #80 - Rule number seven
Word Count: 1105
Warnings: everything up to 2x22 - All Hell Breaks Loose part2
Rating: umm...PG-13 for a small amount of bad language
Summary: It's about 80 years after the events of All Hell Breaks Loose part 2, and things aren't going so well for planet Earth.
Disclaimer: Apart from boxsets and tie-in novels, I own nothing to do with Supernatural. I am not in any way affiliated with any member or part of the wonderful crew that produce this show and absolutely no money is made from this piece of fiction.
Authors Notes: This came out a little weirder than I intended it too, actually a lot weirder, but hopefully it works for you :) Also, as this is set c.80 years after AHBL, and is being told by a non hunter and and anti-Winchester, some of the details of certain events aren't told quite as they happen in canon, as time and repetition by people not at the actual events has skewed them. Mostly for the worse.
Authors Notes #2: I am not in law enforcement in any country, so please try not be too stressed over anything related to that. Also, I'm taking it that the rules for catching criminals if Demons were widely acknowledged to be real and trying to kill kill/enslave humans, would be different from the ones we have today.

the first list is to be killed on sight and the second is to be given help, no matter how strange it may seem

"You broke rule number 7. You know what that means." Ms. Crawford told Adelia and Ginger, while they just sat slumped down in their chairs in front of her big, black and stylish desk. She had caught these two delinquents fighting in a corridor. She had nothing against some vamp/Fae tiffs, because most fairies were so damn annoying with their aura-changing wings and bloodthirsty unicorns. But this was her school and she tolerated no violence on school property... unless there was a really good reason.

"Come on, Becca. She totally started it. She was being all weird and freaky. Then she just walked into me when I was hurrying to my 'history of the vampire world' class and made me drop my books. Then she was just going to walk on by and she didn't even say she was sorry!" Adelia told the blond woman who was their headmistress, who arched an eyebrow at the use of the nickname. Adelia was feeling pretty gutsy today.
