Freedom Beauty Truth Love

Hi guys!

OK, OK, I know I disappeared from off the face of the earth, but somehow the denizens of Hell have seen fit to forgive me and allowed me to participate in the Crowley Big Bang Challenge for 2023! It was a Cards Against Humanity Style thing, where the prompt was based on the random luck of the draw...

So without further delay, please enjoy the fic based on the cards:

That's when__________ comes out to play

Just Another Friday Night

And just to whet your whistle:

A strange sensation washed over Crowley as he and Castiel drove the brown truck down a deserted highway somewhere in the Midwest at night.  “That’s interesting,” Crowley muttered.

“What?” Castiel asked, his tone neutral.

“It appears another one of my old demon deals is reaching the end of its course,” Crowley answered thoughtfully.

Despite driving, Castiel turned to look at Crowley, a puzzled look on his face.  “How can you tell?”

“Keep your eyes on the road, you numbskull, I’m partial to this meatsuit,” Crowley snapped. 

“You’ve healed yourself from worse than a car accident before,” Castiel noted, but brought his gaze back to the road. 

“Yeah,” Crowley said.  “But it’s just so messy.  And think of the dry cleaning bill.  Have you ever tried to get blood out of a silk tie?”

“I haven’t had trouble with this one-” Castiel started.

“That’s because it’s 100% polyester,” Crowley said.  “Even the cheapest stuff, which I’m sure you’re wearing, is relatively stain resistant.  Silk, on the other hand-”

Castiel let out an exasperated huff.  “Weren’t we talking about deals?”
