Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canuckians!

On this day of thanks (ok, last night through to this morning), I wrote a story about a demon. LOLWUT SELF? I've been working on an overdue story, and it's driving me nuts. I thought, ok, I'll just fiddle with something else. Write some drabbles, take my mind off it, and then I'll finally be able to finish the damn thing. Then this fell out.

Title: Invictus
Summary: That wasn't the lie; she remembered being human. In better detail than she liked, really. The lie was everything else.
Characters: Sam/Ruby, Azazel, Dean
Word Count: 3328
Warnings: ADULT for violence and implied sex. Also, there's Sam, through Ruby's eyes. Be warned. :/
Spoilers: All of S4

Don't let that Sam/Ruby tag fool you, this isn't a romance, and this isn't a particularly sympathetic Ruby. It's a really nasty Ruby, and one I think that I'll return to. Now that I've done demon!Ruby, and sketched out the beginnings of a back story, I think I have to write that story - how she got that way.

Let me tell you some things I've decided about Ruby.

She lived through the Black Death, not the Great Plague of London (which was the last time that the "plague was big," as she put it, iirc), and she is from Italy.

She was very influenced by the stirrings of the Renaissance around her: she was educated, and she studied alchemy, necromancy, and ancient religious texts, in addition to local witchcraft. She might have been a scientist, had she been born a man.

She was one of the most powerful witches of her time. She was also, as her time ran out, increasingly desperate to find ways to kill demons. This meant dipping into darker and darker magic.
