Ana/Cas Disney Crossover Drabbles….
Human!Castiel's First Christmas – Inspired by "Stories" (Beauty and the beast 2)
"Dean, he's being such grump. Is he always like this when I've been gone?"
"Uh, yeah."
"Even on Christmas?"
"What's Christmas?" Castiel's voice came from behind us.
"Christmas is… when you give people special presents. Things that make them happy."
"Oh." He walked away.
"So, Ana, what are you going to give him?"
"I don't know."
"What would you want?"
"Fairy tales."
"Why not make him a storybook with all your favorite stories, and you can read it to all of us on Christmas in front of the fire?"
"What a wonderful idea, Dean. I just hope he likes it." Dean left me alone, so that I could work the magic of storytelling on my own. I caught myself humming, and as I was sewing up the binding, I put words to it. It was something that I thought he might enjoy.
We will slay the dragons
That still follow him around
And he'll smile
As his dreams leave the ground!
Stories and stories
About mermaids, kings and sunken treasure
Magic worlds where the impossible
Becomes the everyday
I know a tiny place just a dot
Too small to measure
I'll lead him there, I know the way!
Stories about heroes
Who overcame
Their deepest sorrows
They'll put hope into his heart again
To cherish everyday
He'll find a better world
And the strength to face tomorrow
I'm sure that when he knows the way
He'll want to stay...
That Christmas, curled up on the couch, Cas' breath in my ear, I began at the beginning. I began with "Once Upon a time…." And as I read the words, the wonder on his face was reflected in the eyes of Dean, Sam, Alyss and Emence. Because this was no ordinary fairytale being told. This was our fairytale. Our stories. Things that made us who we were sitting in that fire room. And when I finished, I knew by the look on Castiel's face that I had been a good wife, and brought his smile back to his face. That night, as I put the book on the bookshelf, I caught myself singing, "And now that he knows the way, he wants to stay." That was the only peaceful Christmas we had. But it was the best by far.
