So. I require a bit of a distraction from the fact that Doctor Who airs on Saturday and it's only WEDNESDAY. And I figure, while I'm all ridiculous-crossover-y lately, it might be a good time for a sort of informal challenge request.

Below the cut, you will find a list of fandoms. Ask for crossovers. I will do my best to provide at least a scenario, if not a snippet into the bargain. These are fandoms I'm comfortable with dabbling in at the moment, so I'd appreciate it if you stuck to the list, though of course if I've forgotten something you know I can do, ask for it. And if there's something you really want to see but you're not sure, ask me about it. I might be able to do it anyway. (But no baseball RPS, ALEX. I'd prefer fictional crossovers.) Feel free to ask for more than one; I will do my best to accommodate. Though if you nail me with a huge list I reserve the right to pick and choose. ALEX.

Dogma/Supernatural.



As a general rule, Loki doesn't go to bars. Kind of a waste of time for an angel. Yeah, he thinks sometimes that, if an angel's been expelled from heaven, the rules don't have to apply to him anymore. He's even gotten as far as ordering a shot of whiskey or popping open a can of beer. But all he ever does is sit and stare at them, because why take the risk, right? He'll never get to go home, he's accepted that, but there are worse places for a fallen angel than Wisconsin.

Probably.

But anyway, sometimes he does go to bars. Some places have pretty good food, plus, for his money, you can't beat alcohol as a congregating point for sinners. Sins are both more and less complicated these days, but being in a bar pares it down some, especially if he finds a dive.

Plus it gets Bartleby out of his face for an evening, seriously, the two of them are more closely and irrevocably entwined than any other beings on the planet, but that doesn't mean they don't wanna just find a way to kill each other sometimes. So some nights Loki goes to a bar and Bartleby goes to a fucking airport or something and when they meet back up, they're both cool again.

So yeah, the thing about sin: it's not about guilt, because sinners don't always (or often, for that matter) feel guilty about what they've done, and at the same time it's all about guilt, because even if something isn't a sin in the eyes of God, believing it is and doing it anyway kind of makes it one. And then there's mitigating circumstances, which apparently became a thing when Jesus showed up, Loki doesn't know, but he thinks that even if he hadn't gotten himself kicked out, he'd be out of a job anyway, because Jesus was the proto-fucking-hippy.

And the guy who took the stool next to Loki about five minutes ago is kind of driving him crazy, because he's got issues with all three. All hunters do, of course, which is why Loki never goes to the bars hunters frequent, because he ends up with a headache inside of thirty seconds.

Murder is a sin. Definitely. It's like, the sin. Like, if you're gonna sin, find another commandment to break, because you don't even wanna deal with this shit. This guy's a murderer, a dozen times over. All hunters are. Not because they kill the bad shit, that doesn't even count, that sort of thing is still in their favor same as it's been since the Beginning (which is why Loki loves hunters, in spite of the headaches, because they still follow in his path even though he's not supposed to be walking it anymore, even though they don't think he exists any more these days). It's because sometimes shit goes wrong. Sometimes there isn't time for an exorcism before the demon in the human suit is ready to pull some serious fucking shit, and then a hunter does what he has to do to stop it. And what he has to do generally has some pretty unfavorable results for the human host. But there, with the mitigating fucking circumstances. No hunter's gone to hell for that shit since God changed His unforgiving tune.

And then there's the sin that isn't a sin, his wife's death. That one hit Loki full blast first, because not to be melodramatic or anything, but this guy's soul is screaming her name along with guilt and hate for himself and the unfuckingshakeable belief that he will go to hell for the sin of falling asleep in front of the television one night fifteen years ago. Amazing, what humans will do to themselves. Sometimes Loki thinks that some people serve a full sentence in hell right here on Earth.

So, what it boils down to is, even if Loki was in the mood to do some smiting, this guy wouldn't qualify, because he's a hunter, but he's still triggering the smiting reflex. It makes Loki itch.

So he buys the guy a drink, because he's an angel and the guy's a hunter, and because contributing to cirrhosis of the liver kinda counts, right?

He gets a suspicious look, and remembers too late that a guy can't just buy another guy a drink these days. For fuck's sake. He represses the urge to roll his eyes and instead returns the look with a serious nod, digging just a little deeper to read the guy's name.

"You do good work, Winchester," he says.

John Winchester's expression relaxes ever so slightly. "Thanks."

Heeee, I love it when you write the angels <3 You have their voices down so well. This is just so very Loki. And the description of how the angels can just sense the sin is very real and very fitting. I likes.

And JDM for kicks, too XD What fun that is. Poor John.

Thanks! I was a bit concerned about writing Loki's perspective, because I haven't seen the movie in years (you'll notice my other two Dogma challenges are from the other fandom's character's POV) (oh, yeah, scroll up for a House/Dogma I did for someone else), but after a paragraph or two I fell right into the groove. It was fun!
