Summary: There aren't too many positives about agreeing to be strapped to a comet, but one of the bigger ones is that Castiel at least manages to keep Jimmy asleep and unaware most of the time – so when Jimmy suddenly finds himself wrenched awake mid-battle he knows this has to be a bad sign. Their attacker is a wild card in the angelic war, one who believes she's the only one truly fighting for the humans, and to that end she's developed a new weapon: a way to enchant her sword so that it can kill an angel without having to sacrifice the vessel. And she's made Castiel her first test. With Castiel wounded Jimmy's forced to take control, and he and Dean set off on a desperate road trip to the security of Bobby's safe room.

Dean drives fast, but angels are faster.

"You and Sam made the news."

"Jimmy? That you?" Jimmy hoped he wasn't imagining that Dean sounded happy to hear him.

Instead of answering Jimmy turned up the volume. "Satanism and arson. You guys had a twofer."

Dean groaned into the phone. "I knew we didn't clean that place up well enough. That hunt couldn't have gone any worse."

"You're only saying that because you can't see the composite sketches."

Dean groaned again. "Everything okay?" he said, changing the subject.

"As much as it ever is. Something's going on up in Heaven and he had to head back. And he wasn't happy about it. I don't know how long he'll be." He couldn't fight down his nerves anymore. "You said I should call."

"Damn right. Where'd he leave you?"

Jimmy picked up a menu from the room end table. He'd woken up in a strange room holding a motel key and no idea beyond that. "Bright Side motel in Reno. You'd love this room, Dean, it's filthy."

"Hey, that's not even four hours away," he said, and Jimmy could hear him choosing his words. "It cool if I drop by?"

Jimmy's grip went tight on the phone. "If you don't have a hunt," he said. As if his heart hadn't gone into his throat when Dean asked that question.

"Got some stuff Sam's researching, but nothing I need to be around for."

"Well, I certainly don't have any plans." If he kept the tone casual Jimmy thought he could ignore how hard his heart was pounding.

"Cool. I should be there by noon or so. We could...Jesus, I need to know more people who aren't hunters. What do normal people do? Movies? People go to movies, right?"

Jimmy told himself very firmly that Dean Winchester was not falling all over himself asking Jimmy out to a movie. He didn't actually think that was what was happening and anyway, he didn't need any help feeling like a teenager around Dean. "Get here first and we'll figure something out."

Dean laughed and ended the call. Jimmy sat on the end of the bed, staring at the number blinking on his phone. The urge to call home was overwhelming but pointless; if Castiel thought he'd be at work in Heaven for long he would have dropped Jimmy on his front porch, not in some rat trap in Reno. After the argument last time he wasn't sure if he'd even be welcome. Amends would have to wait until he was free to make them.

It was strange to think that the angel might be matchmaking him with Dean and Jimmy couldn't shake the feeling of being some kind of consolation prize. Like Castiel was setting Dean up with a replacement if the fighting didn't go his way. The thought was both presumptuous and incredibly sad.

Truthfully, he had no idea what was going to happen when Dean walked through through that door, if things would be different between them without Castiel there too. He didn't know if he even wanted anything to happen.

All he knew was that Dean was the first good thing that had happened to him since saying yes and he didn't have the willpower to turn his back on that. He thought it wasn't too much to ask for a port in the storm. And if this sin was the one that sent him to hell, he'd deal with it when he got there.

Jimmy took off his coat; his hands shook when he tried to loosen his tie so he just left it where it was as he settled down to wait.

And if Castiel decided to come calling before Dean got there, Jimmy was just going to tell him to wait his turn.

Oh that was fantastic! I love everything Novak, especially when we get to see Jimmy. :)

Thank you for sharing ♥

[scarletscarlet.livejournal.com]

That was so good! Fantastic dynamic between the three of them, and how lovely to see Jimmy as an active character :). The threesome/triad aspect was pretty great, too.

*flails madly*
omg! so good I almost died Dean/Jimmy/Cas threeway LOOOVE!!!
MY DREAMS CAME TRUE IN THIS FIC I LOVE YOOOOOOUUUU!!!!

[a-carnal-mink.livejournal.com]

Ah, my three favourite guys! :)

Always cool to see fic with awesome Jimmy and BAMF!Dean and especially lovely to see the two of them working things out between them a bit. Nice work!

[falcytan-dream.livejournal.com]

Y'know, I really wasn't sure about the whole Dean/Jimmy thing in a canon world, but I'm so glad I tried it out because you made it work. I absolutely love good Jimmy (especially POV) stories, and this definitely was one of them. His characterization was really great [and his interactions with Castiel especially made me giggle with glee]!

<3

[dazedrose.livejournal.com]

Yummy yummy yummy. I just love the journey you took us on here. I love the circumstances you have between Cas and jimmy and how the NovakA dealt with Castiel. The development if jimmy/Dean's relationship was really believable and I do like the ending. Dean is one lucky son of a bitch to have two great guys there for him.

[gabriel4sam.livejournal.com]

It's a wonderful story, bittersweet, loving, with adventures and so many good things!

[lostakasha.livejournal.com]

What a way to spend Wednesday morning. Such a great ride, and, as always with your work, so very well conceptualized and played out!

I love seeing your name pop up in fic lists because I know you deliver the whole package, every time --story, characterization, all of it. Please don't think my praise is faint and technical because it's not meant to be. It's just such a joy when it all comes together, and your stories never disappoint. To me that's a very big deal.

Thanks so much for sharing this.

[bellacatbee.livejournal.com]

I really enjoyed this and I'm not normally a person for stories where Jimmy is a character in his own right. I really came to like him and I found it believable that he could fall for Dean, having seen him through Cas's eyes. I think the forth chapter was my favorite part. Jimmy and Cas mildly fangirling Dean when he came to rescue them was awesome.

[skiing-pelican.livejournal.com]

Ups, I overlooked that there is an epilogue!
Just to say it again: I love this fic! The dynamic between Dean/Cas and Jimmy is so great! The world needs more Jimmy-storys!
Love this Love!

[burntsmurf.livejournal.com]

Ah, you're one of those rare authors that never disappoints, never!

Its always a joy to read your fics cos the characterisation and storytelling is always excellent. I really liked your Jimmy voice and could totally see him behaving this way based on the glimpse that show has given us. The insight into his perception of committing infidelity was an awesome twist that I hadn't even considered before and rang very true for me. Nicely done.
I loved the interactions between the three of them, and the idea of Cas being the one behind the wall for once was cool.
Both Jimmy and Cas in awe of Deans awesome rescue made me laugh. Dean is too cool for his own good...especially when he is being kick arse and to the rescue!
And finally the whole fic in all its magnificent glory was most excellent...I felt a current of hope running through the entire piece. Lovely!
Gah, I have hijacked your comments box...sorry! Thanks for sharing.

[neek-love.livejournal.com]

Beautiful :) a great approach to Cas/Jimmy that I hadn't considered before. I'd love to read more in this verse!

[toastedtea.livejournal.com]

I do love a good Jimmy-centric story. Thanks so much for the enjoyable read!

[laura-103.livejournal.com]

Wonderful story :) I'm normally avoiding Jimmy-fics, because they mostly make me depressed, but I love this one! :)

[axilet.livejournal.com]

AHHH D/C/J *hugs OT3 tightly*

Thanks for writing! I always like it when Jimmy gets himself some sweet POV and plot to go along with it =) Not to mention a semi-happy ending. He doesn't get much of any of those, poor dude.

[earthseed-fic.livejournal.com]

*swoon*

This was perfect. You made me absolutely fall in love with Jimmy

[ivorycrayon.livejournal.com]

WOW that was great!
Sequel? Like...PLEASE...Maybe with a little Jimmy/Cas xD

[aceofannwn.livejournal.com]

Awwwwweesooooooome. :) *beams* I love this story!

[serrico.livejournal.com]

I have been waiting ALL WEEK to read this, because I wanted to have time to sit down and enjoy it all in one go. Now that I have: *happysigh*

JIMMY.

You've fleshed him out so wonderfully here. The details you've given his life pre-Cas--his 14-year-old self's joyriding escapade, the breakfast scene Rahmiel commandeers in his dream, his history with and love for Amelia, the story about teaching Claire constellations (and I LOVE the detail of her turning around and deciding to be a pirate *g*)--make him feel very real, ground him as a *person*. Combine that with the generally sensible way he deals with the more fantastical circumstances he finds himself in, and the way he relates to Dean and Cas--especially his understanding of what Dean and Cas have and the reasoning behind his willingness to let them have it, despite his guilt over betraying his marriage vows--you paint him as a good man, but flawed, but doing the best he can with impossible situations.

He's an interesting guy, Jimmy is. *happysigh*

I like this story. :)

[ley-is-eclipse.livejournal.com]

Wow bb this was wonderful! I normally dont read anything with Jimmy in it cause alot of writers make him whiny or really freaked out to the point where he is no help. So bravo! I really over all love this. :3

[jolinar-rosha.livejournal.com]

I loved loved LOVED this story! Every interaction between Jimmy Dean and Castiel was brilliant, and it was so awesome to get to see so much of Jimmy - poor guy deserves some spotlight, and he also deserves some happiness after everything he's sacrificed to be our fave angel's vessel.

So, so wonderful and good.

[mulder200.livejournal.com]

Wow! That was quite a ride!

And Dean is right. Jimmy is a hero.
