I am on the south coast of NSW, which is currently on fire. So, yeah. Right now i am safe from fire, not so much from smoke (I am asthmatic..), and it did rain today, finally. SO that's a good thing.

Have hopefully daily updates until the last 3 episodes again.

Also, I have only watched the first episode of season 14 so far, as it is hot and I can't watch it when the fan is on. Too noisy.

Episode Thirty Six - My Bloody Valentine

He was glad he had a set to do that Friday night, as he was in the mood for music. He had no idea if that mood would stay with him to the end of this episode, as it is this particular season of Supernatural, and he seemed to find it rather more depressing then the rest of the show so far. He wondered if the rest of the seasons would follow that pattern and just get more and more depressing, or if he would get more light-hearted through it.

He had no idea. Ella refused to tell him, too.

Speaking of his friend, she was bouncing at his side with a huge grin on her face. "This episode is great. A bit sad in places, especially for Sam lover's like yourself, but great outside one thing. It's called My Bloody Valentine. Push play already. I want to watch this so badly right now."

He rolled his eyes, grabbed the remote from the table where it was resting while the DVD was booting up and pushed the start button on the 14th episode.

He pushed play in a slow pace just to annoy Ella and her insistent bouncing.

He paused it when it reached the splash screen with Ella grinning widely as two people ate each other because it was what they desired. "Oh, well, that was something. Are they into vore? Can't say it exactly is my kink, you know?"

Ella laughed and shook her head. "Nope, not into vore."

He frowned, gave a little hum of confusion and pushed play.

He paused it again when he found out they weren't just taking chunks out of each other for the sexy times, but they were eating each other to death. "Ewww. This episode is really gross. Okay, I admit it, I am intrigued."

Ella smiled widely at his side and grabbed his arm. "I know right? Could you imagine being Sam right now? Going on a case where two people literally ate each other to death? It would be so weird and oddly awesome."

He laughed at that. "Bless your weird blood loving heart."

She nodded at him, before pointing to the screen. He took the hint and pushed play again.

He scowled at what Sam said Dean called Valentine's Day. He paused it afterwards. "Okay, I admit it, I don't see the appeal at all in Valentine's Day. Possibly because I don't date and I only have sex with those who both want it and know what it is they want. I wouldn't have touched either of those two crazy kids who ate each other, because they were both so unsure of anything sexually. One a virgin, the other either was a virgin too, or didn't have much confidence sexually. But to use the day as a way to grab and have sex with vulnerable girls who are lonely is not my style. Usually I open the flat up for an orgy where everyone has fun or I go with couples looking for a little extra in the bedroom. Fun all around."

Ella perked up an eyebrow. "Wow, remind me to never go anywhere near your apartment when it is Valentines without a black light just to see the mess you and your guests make."

He chuckled at that and shook his head. "Trust me, you could have a field day. But right now, busy watching Supernatural and it is nowhere near Valentines. It's already passed for this year."

Ella frowned and nodded. "What a shame. Always next year though. Oaky, push play."

He did as he was told and pushed the button.

He paused it after the next set of deaths happen. Again with a couple. This time not wanting to be apart so much they kill the guys work partner and then themselves in an attempt to never be apart. "Wow, this is weird. And bloody. The title is absurdly fitting for this episode."

Ella nodded with a wide grin. "I know, and it is awesome. I told you this episode was good."

He nodded back to her. "Agreed. Bloody, but definitely good. This is a mystery I can get behind."

Ella nodded again, before pointing to the screen. He took the hint and hit the play button again.

He laughed at the coroner's "Refrigerate after opening" line. "Oh, I like this coroner. He is fun and has a great sense of humour."

Ella frowned but nodded. "Yeah, he's fun."

He frowned back at her, because her frowning was a bad thing, he was sure. He had no idea what else to say past that, so he stared at the screen for a few seconds, before sighing and putting it back on again.

He snorted and laughed at Castiel taking Dean's remark on Cupid's being fat little babies in diapers as them not being incontinent. "Aww, Cassie, you're non grasp of pop culture is hilarious sometimes."

Ella nodded at his side, before pointing at the screen. He shut up and paid attention to what was going on again.

He stopped it when it was told by the Cupid that John and Mary couldn't even stand each other and it took quite a lot for even the cupids to get them together a mated pair. He put the control down on the coffee table so he didn't accidentally shatter it when he clenched his fists.

"Oh holy shit, no. No, no, no. I hate when Heaven interferes with people's lives, especially in love. It's horrible and makes a mockery of Free Will. These people don't choose each other as partners in life, they are chosen for them and forced into it. It's one reason why I refuse to get with Chloe. She was specifically made for me. No thank you. She chose Dan, she didn't choose me. And it kind of drives me mad how jealous she suddenly got when that whole deal kicked in."

Ella scowled. "Wait, that's why she gets mad at me constantly for being over your place every night to watch a show? Because she is jealous because Heaven decided she was made for you?"

He nodded. "Yep. And I believe fully in Free Will, and that takes away ones Free Will. No thanks. And haven't I already stated this once? I am having trouble remembering through my rage at knowing two people so unfit for each other were made to be mates for life. Just... No."

Ella patted his shoulder and sighed. "Okay, but this part is almost over, and as you can imagine things weren't perfect between them because of it. So push play to get past the hated part, okay?"

He sighed, closed his eyes and took a few deep breath. He nodded and opened his eyes again, picked up the controller and pushed play, ready to get this part over and done with.

He paused it again when Sam went wild on the demon holding the briefcase. "Wait... It's. Addictions. Shit, Sam is wanting the demon blood again. He crave... Oh! Why did I not see this from the start. Famine."

Ella grinned at his side and nodded. "Yep, the second of the Horsemen. Famine. It's not just food, it's whatever people crave."

Lucifer balled is hands into fists again. "He's using people's desires against them. Even unhealthy ones are still desires. That's what cravings are. This goes against everything I believe in and I want this horseman dead. Please say the Winchesters get his ring..."

"The Winchesters get his ring."

Lucifer sighed loudly and nodded. "Good."

He pushed play again, truly pissed off with this Horseman, but liking the episode itself. He just wished it stopped making him want to rage quit out of anger.

He blinked and paused it when Famine ate the demon. "Huh, you know, it's absolutely stupid, but I keep forgetting that in this show demons are twisted human souls."

Ella patted his shoulder. "Don't worry about that, dude. I forget things all the time."

He frowned. "Yeah, but I don't. I rarely forget anything at all."

She winced at that. "Ouch."

He shrugged. "Only for the bad. Not so much everything else."

She tilted her head and nodded at that. "Huh, yeah I can see that. Come on, get it going again. It's close to the end."

He nodded and pushed play again, interested in where this was going

He got all fuzzy inside when Sam refused to give into his own hunger and had Dean lock him down in the bathroom to stay away from the demons Famine had with him. It was really sweet that he was trying so hard to stay on the wagon.

He looked sadly at the screen when he found out that the coroner with the sense of humour drank himself to death because of Famine. "Oh, well THAT sucks. how come all the good ones die?"

Ella shook her head beside him. "I have no idea, Luce. Shh."

He shushed and paid attention again to what was going on in the show.

He laughed at Dean saying that he wasn't well adjusted he was just well fed and that's why he wasn't affected by Famine while everyone else was slowly being affected. Ella laughed by his side too.

He pushed pause and buried his head in his arms. "Argh, Sam you were doing so well. It sucks that the demons were sent to you to get you riled up and on the demon blood again. This sucks. And I get your sad for Sam fans now. This is so sad. He has tried so hard. I hate Famine..."

Ella patted his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder. "Yeah, it sucks bug time. Now push play. This is getting to the best part."

He nodded and pushed play again, wanting to know how Sam goes with this detox he'll have to go through.

He grinned when Sam's hopped up on demon blood was actually what it took to save the day and maybe the withdrawal he was going to go through this time would be less and that it was worth it to stop the horseman. He paused it to talk to Ella over it. "Huh, that worked. Go Sammy."

Ella grinned. "Told you it was getting to the good part. He resisted taking more demon blood and destroyed Famine by tearing out all the food souls of the demons he just ate. Awesome."

He nodded. "Yes, that was indeed awesome. Too bad Sam has to go through withdrawal all over again to get past it, but it was needed at that moment."

She nodded and poked him. "Almost over now, push play."

He nodded and did as she beckoned him to do and pushed pay again.

He stopped it after Sam was in the safe room going through his detox and Dean went outside to ask Heaven for help without actually praying for help, which was smart of him. Still... "Is it just me, or were you expecting fictional me or Michael to show up at the end, before it went black and finished?"

Ella shrugged her shoulders. "Not really. I did think Dean would just give up and actually let himself cry for once in his life."

Lucifer snorted at that one and nodded. "Yeah, that too."

He got up and walked over to his bar and poured himself a drink, happy with the episode he just watched. Sam might be in pain and going through withdrawal again, but the price he was paying in that was worth the effort it went through to actually stop Famine from covering the world. he had saved the day by taking that blood. He couldn't see that as a bad thing.

So, he was in a good mood for once at the end of an episode and held out the bottle of Scotch to Ella. "Drink, before I go downstairs to play my set?"

She grinned and nodded. "Sounds good."

He poured her a drink and walked over to her and handed it over. "Here's to hopefully more good episodes and none more that make me want to scream by the ending."

Ella raised her glass and clinked it against his. "Amen to that, Lucifer."

They drank their drinks and he was thankful that he was in good company and that she may stay to watch his set that night.

He was in an oddly good mood right now.

He hoped it stayed that way tomorrow night.

Note - I love this episode. Especially all they did with Castiel and that angels are affected by Famine through their vessel's wants. I wonder what Lucifer craved when he was near Famine if he ever was... My brain immediately goes to love. Familial, not carnal. And he didn't get it. And now i want to write that story :P

Note - I...I don't get Dean not feeling anything from Famine. The reason given was because he was dead inside since Hell. Or...something. But if it is death that does it, why did Sam not feel the same or is it time spent in Hell and he was turning demon before being saved by Castiel and made pure again? I don't know? Did I miss something again?

Headcanon - I can't remember if it was in the episode, so I will say it here as a headcanon. Sam consented to the detox this time.

Headcanon - The Cupid was a little more affectionate than usual for him, as he was affected by Famine too, and his whole world is love.
