For the First Time (And Their Last)
Song lyrics by The Script
Veronica Mars - post Season 3
Supernatural - "Swan Song" Season 5 AU brief one-shot look at the time lapse between Sam going into Lucifer's Cage and Dean showing up on Lisa's doorstep
A/N: I know me publishing another Veronica Mars story, even a one shot, is somewhat sacrilegious since there are three stories I've been writing that need to be finished first, but due to life interfering, I've lost a few months. Unfortunately as a result, my Muse was distracted by other things and so this is my attempt to get back into the swing of things in the Mars 'verse. I want to give recognition to Eleri McCleod, Lizzy Rebel, and Listentothemath because their Mars/Winchester crossovers kept circling in my brain last night after I read them and when I heard this song this morning, this little story popped up fully formed.
She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart
(Dean saves her after Keith and Logan are killed)
While I'm drinking Jack all alone in my local bar
(He can't help her, doesn't know how to comfort her, so he retreats to the only place he knows)
And we don't know how
(He knows its his fault because his family started the Apocalypse)
How we got into this mad situation
(Veronica can't get over the ways she kept blaming Logan even as he loved her to his last day)
Only doing things out of frustration
(He keeps on hunting and she keeps running away)
###
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
(They fall together because they have no one else and are tired of being alone)
She needs me now but I can't seem to find the time
(He knows she needs more than he has to give, but he's all tapped out)
I've got a new job now in the unemployment line
(He's surprised by how easily she lies, cheats, and steals)
And we don't know how
(He knows, but he doesn't say)
How we got into this mess, is it God's test?
(He knows there is no God, not any more, and she never believed in Him anyway)
Someone help us 'cause we're doing our best
(Cass and Bobby and her weird friend Mac are the only ones who seem to care and try to anchor them)
###
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
(They stumble into bed after a really hard hunt)
But we're gonna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine
(She's not much of a drinker and he's not as drunk as he pretends)
Sit talkin' up all night
(Their passion is the sound and the fury, but no words pass their lips)
Saying things we haven't for a while, a while yeah
(Neither ask what caused the scars their fingers brush across)
We're smiling but we're close to tears
(He sees the women who've died in her face and she sees Logan's shadow fall across him)
Even after all these years
(He'll never forget and she refuses to remember)
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting
(For just a moment when she wakes, she thinks he's Logan)
For the first time
(And he lets her)
###
She's in line at the door with her head held high
(He hates how much he cares when she's hurt)
While I just lost my job but didn't lose my pride
(She hates how much she relies on him for everything)
But we both know how
(They really don't)
How we're gonna make it work when it hurts
(Everything hurts and sometimes it seems easier to give up)
When you pick yourself up you get kicked to the dirt
(They've been knocked down so many times, it's harder and harder to get back up)
###
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
(They stumble into bed after a really hard hunt)
But we're gonna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine
(She's not much of a drinker and he's not as drunk as he pretends)
Sit talkin' up all night
(Their passion is the sound and the fury, but no words pass their lips)
Doing things we haven't for a while, a while yeah
(Both ignore the others' scars their fingers brush across)
We're smiling but we're close to tears
(He sees the women who've died in her face and she sees Logan's shadow fall across him)
Even after all these years
(He'll never forget and she refuses to remember)
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting
(For just a moment when she wakes, she thinks he's Logan)
For the first time
(And he lets her)
###
Yeah, drinking old cheap bottles of wine
(She's not much of a drinker and he's not as drunk as he pretends)
Sit talkin' up all night
(Their passion is the sound and the fury, but no words pass their lips)
Saying things we haven't for a while
(Neither ask what caused the scars their fingers brush across)
We're smiling but we're close to tears

We just now got the feeling that we're meeting
(For just a moment when she wakes, she thinks he's Logan)
For the first time
(And he lets her)
###
Yeah, for the first time
(And he lets her)
Oh, for the first time
(And he lets her)
Yeah, for the first time, yeah
(And he lets her)
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time
(For just a moment when she wakes, she thinks he's Logan)
###
Oh, these times are hard
(The hunts are way too dangerous)
Yeah they're making us crazy
(Her hands aren't big enough to stem the blood)
Don't give up on me baby
(She's dying and he can't save her)
###
Oh, these times are hard
(The hunts are way too dangerous)
Yeah they're making us crazy
(Her hands aren't big enough to stem the blood)
Don't give up on me baby
(She's dying and he can't save her)
###
Oh, these times are hard
(The hunts are way too dangerous)
Yeah they're making us crazy
(Her hands aren't big enough to stem the blood)
Don't give up on me baby
(She's dying and he can't save her)
###
Oh, these times are hard
(Now Dean's alone again)
Yeah they're making us crazy
(He still sees her riding shotgun next to him)
Don't give up on me baby
(Veronica is just one more he couldn't save)
