link's super cool abilities in botw are giving me an idea for an au about like, warriors who each have one unique ability centered around their weapon of choice okay, i say "abilities" but i've only got one so far: imagine cass as an archer who can propel himself into the air on a gust of wind and then briefly slow down time around him while he fires i just REALLY love the slomo mid air shooting okay balthazar??? maybe like a swordsman who can perform a series of quick strikes and if he does it perfectly the final slash can cut through anything?? ugh i'm not good at this and i haven't got hannah or anyone else yet
remember that writing prompts post that's like "an immortal and a time traveler fall in love. wherever the time traveler ends up the immortal is there to bring them up to speed" anyways balthazar's the immortal and cass is the time traveler
in every story where the hero, or the villain, or the mystic guide has been sealed up for like 1000 years, how come the tomb or w/e gets opened and they get out and they’re just like.......completely fucking fine and ready to go, no trauma, no claustrophobia, no fear of the dark or nightmares or anything
The dirt of the vast, arid expanse is soaked through with blood and strewn with heaps of steel and iron and pieces of the soldiers who wielded them as weapons.
Castiel’s body lays against the torn door of a transport, pinned by the long spear that pierced his chest. His head is fallen forward, hanging over a small, deep red puddle between his feet, although his blood has long stopped flowing.
Soft footfalls dare to disturb the battlefield, kicking up tiny spirals of dust as they approach.
“Oh, Cassie…”
Balthazar reaches out, laying a gentle hand on Cass’ still head.
He chuckles.
“What have you gotten yourself into?”
don’t worry, i’m sure they’re both immortal. they float around the universe until cass gets invested in a Good Cause on any given planet, and balthazar does his best to cover for them while it all goes down.
and inevitably cass ends up dead, during the epic final battle or, worse, even before that
leaving balthazar to carry him home before he wakes up again
and then they’re off
“how do you live so long without getting any better at combat?” asks balthazar
“i am better,” cass insists, “but so is everyone else”
“well, that and ‘everyone else’ invests in some study of their native weaponry and how to defend themselves from such”
“not interested”
“not interested? not until it’s pointed at you, you mean”
“that just makes it dangerous, not interesting”
“oh dear……”
and that’s how balthazar knows they’ll be doing it all again before too long
"I have some bandages. If you'll just wait here a moment, I'll retrieve them."

He smiled, his good humor strained. "I will do as you say." With that he sank back and rested his weary back against the ground. The earth was soft beneath him. "Certainly," Legolas added after a moment, dryly, as his injured foot throbbed, "I could not leave, even if I so wished."
