Prompt: Alistair/Dean, show you a few new tricks
Alistair has been a demon since he fell in the first war. The thing is, angels have no imagination and demons are just fallen angels. Alistair knows how to make souls hurt, but he's been doing it the same way for millennia.
Dean is no angel, even if he might one day house one. And he spends thirty years laughing at Alistair, being a smartass, offering tidbits about how Alistair might improve his technique. No one has ever spoken to Alistair like that, not even Lucifer.
Dean is no angel, and he's a new kind of demon. And finally, when he's grown bored of being on the rack, he says yes to Alistair's snarled question.
And Alistair learns, watching Dean work, that humans have imagination to spare.
