A deathwish is usually made long before it's realized. Before she was ever made Valentine, Faye was the type of girl who chased after dreams and would leap off the edge of a cliff without looking down. Reckless abandon was encouraged by a pair of parents so caring and attentive that she never wanted for anything, parents who cleared the path of brambles and branches for their daughter, never letting her feel so much as a scratch. To the girl who lived a life of safety, danger and risk were intoxicating and quickened the heart in a way that not even love could, forming thoughts that persisted even when memories had long since faded and broken away.
From early on, Faye was made to be a hunter.
It shows now, in the bright red that runs down from her knee and the harsh breathing that barely manages to fill her lungs. Her gun is held still and the aim true, save for the slight rattle of the weapon that comes from hands being raised through sheer willpower alone. All around Faye, their blood painting books dusty from disuse, are the bodies of Splicers. Figures, she's murmured to herself, that they'd all be hiding out behind stacks of books. Figures, that even men who lose their minds are nothing other than cowards.
Her breath is ragged with a slight protest, an unwillingness on Faye's part to let go. She just has one more. One more Splicer, who lopes around with predatory intent, that Faye needs to put down. She can do it. She could do it. But her vision is starting to swim and adrenaline is learning to fade, replaced by fatigue as her heel grinds against tile and startles the creature, inspires a flying rage.
"Shit," she bites out, raising her voice as she stumbles back, firing a couple of shots that barely clip its shoulder. "Dammit, hold still!"

Date: 2011-07-27 03:33 am (UTC)"Faye," he whispers when he reaches her, setting his shoulder against the pillar. Hell, it must be the only solid thing in this room, and Dean leans hard, lets it take his weight while he reloads his gun with fingers that would tremble, but Dean's fought his way through enough concussions that they don't.
"There's two behind me," he says, eyes landing on the bolt of crimson by her ear, following it down to her jaw. "At least. You good to shoot?"
(no subject)
Date: 2011-07-27 03:51 am (UTC)It's enough.
With a quick nod, she hefts her gun before mouthing, "On three."
But when she whips around, gun firmly in hand, the area seems empty. No sign of movement, no trace of a splicer. With sound still largely slipping past, all Faye can think as she scans the area is that both of them are at a disadvantage now. And it's all her fault.
(no subject)
Date: 2011-07-27 04:32 am (UTC)There's a sound so small, so shuffling and slight, that Dean could think he imagined it, but it doesn't stop. Straining his ears, Dean steps away from Faye, gun trained first right, then left, but still there's nothing, but the sound continues, seems like it's getting closer, and Dean looks up.
"Faye!" he shouts, but he can't stop the Splicer's descent, its inhuman body unfixed from the ceiling above, red hooks in hand and headed right for Faye. There's no time to warn her, no chance to shoot its body without risking hers, and Dean does the only thing he can do. He takes a running leap and barrels into Faye with enough force to shove her out of the Splicer's path, twisting as they fall to fire a round through the Splicer's chest.

Date: 2011-07-27 05:03 am (UTC)Her palm is pressed to the ground, dirt and grit dragging against her skin as she heaves a breath or two, hair dragging down, a few strands clinging to the sweat of her temple. She can feel the sting where her knee meets grime, and judging by the deeper color of her thigh, her face is probably entirely covered in dust. But pride and obstinance leave her refusing to budge, and the very moment Dean's lips move again, Faye leans forward to cut his words off, pressing her lips firmly against his own. "Shut up," she murmurs when she has to pull away to catch a breath, not giving him space to talk before she crushes another kiss to his lips, free hand groping for her Glock.
Once she has a good grip, she quickly looks over her shoulder, eyes scanning over the ceiling— there's another Splicer in the corner. Backing off, she holds her left hand out to Dean to help him up, already aiming for the Splicer with the right.
(no subject)
Date: 2011-07-29 10:17 pm (UTC)God help him, the sound Dean makes is less grunt than groan, contact he's been starved for suddenly freely offered, and he doesn't care if it's meant to distract, to punish, to shut him up. It feels good, and so does she, and when they part Dean's dazed and gasping, taking the hand she offers with startled eyes that only grow wider when she dispatches the nearest Splicer with a deadly blast from her Glock.
"Okay," says Dean, swiping his forearm over his mouth before he grabs another twisted body before it can leap, drags it down and close enough that he can crack his fist over cheekbone and jaw. "That works, too."
(no subject)
Date: 2011-07-29 10:21 pm (UTC)With a look in Dean's direction, she finds her mind at war again, eyes brushing over his lips. It'd be easier to just lose herself in it, in him, and the part of Faye Valentine that always opts for the easier way out without regard for consequence takes a step closer to him, considering. Her breath comes and goes heavily, shoulders still pulled back with the pride that she just can't shake.
Ultimately, she thinks better of it, shaking her head as she starts walking towards the nearby bathysphere station. "I'm outta here," she says at last, before quietly shooting a look over her shoulder. "You coming?"
(no subject)
Date: 2011-07-29 10:27 pm (UTC)Dean's breath leaves him all at once, disappointment warring with relief that he hasn't fallen yet, is neither climbing nor slipsliding towards something he can't escape from. Never mind that what he's hiding from could save him. It could hurt him, and he's spent so long hurting already. He needs to stop being so goddamn reckless around her, needs to be careful. He believes that, too, armor almost up and settled familiar on his shoulders, right up to the moment she calls to see if he's coming, and Dean is moving at a speed that shouldn't be left in his tired limbs.
He catches up with her as the hallway expands, close at her side as they journey towards the bathysphere that will take them home. His hands won't seem to behave, almost reaching for hers before he stops them, hovering near the small of her back, little touches that are surely meant to reassure himself more than her, but after everything, Dean can't be sure that they'd be welcome. If anything, Faye's given every indication that she prefers to do things on her own, and she can climb into a bathysphere without help, can hit its buttons without Dean close by her side, but here he is, lips still tingling and eyes never straying far. Even in the faded light of Rapture, she's so goddamn beautiful, an angry flush high in her cheeks that only makes her eyes brighter, and Dean finds himself reaching despite all the ways he's tried not to, smoothing violet locks back from the cut along her hairline.
"Sorry," he says quietly, and even as he says it, he doesn't know what it's for. Everything, maybe, the things he can control and all the ones he can't, for his hands on her and the way he can't seem to make himself stop. "Faye."
(no subject)
Date: 2011-07-29 10:30 pm (UTC)Even now, with the apology being his greatest weapon of all, Faye finds herself assuming the worst. Is sorry enough? Is it sincere, or does he see the flaws and weaknesses that Faye so carefully tries to hide from the rest of the populace? She's been running for so long, in one way or another, and every muscle in her body tells her not to stop now, that it'll only result in pain and loss— but she keeps on hitting snags, and Dean Winchester is one of them. She doesn't take a single breath as his fingers brush gently by her temple, but instead settles on the color of his eyes, her own darkened with anger. She isn't even sure where she should direct any of it, isn't sure that she wants to try, so it stays contained, pounds in her ears and against her chest.
"Stop it," she murmurs, the glance towards his hand more afraid than it is angry, her breath rushing back in a quaver. "Don't apologize unless you mean it. Don't apologize to the wrong person." It strikes her then, that maybe it isn't her he really wants to apologize to. Maybe it's a flash of golden hair, maybe it's the curve of a playful smile, and even though she knows that they aren't the same person, it's Julia who shows up in Faye's memories now. Beautiful, driven, and completely out of reach.
There's a soft sound that escapes her throat as she steps back just enough to hit the last lever that'll take them back to the Welcome Center, to the pavilion that leads home. The lurch of movement proves to be the last straw, Faye's brow knitting as she rushes forward again, palm over his hip until she's pushed both of them against the bathysphere wall, a brief kiss that catches air before she deepens that too, hair whipping out of place again, to where it splays over her cheek. Whether she's angry, whether she's scared, or whether she wants this, none of that seems to matter anymore. It's all and none at once.
(no subject)
Date: 2011-07-30 10:57 pm (UTC)Reels and just keeps falling, because she's back, warm and alive and with him, and Dean's hands are as helpless as they've ever been to stay away, spreading eagerly over the rich swell of her hips to drag her closer. His blood's been close to boiling all day, first the thrill of the fight, then anger, now this, want bubbling up and over, overtaking his senses and his good sense, too, because they're in a goddamn elevator and he wants to eat her alive, see her as bare as he feels, the quick catches of skin beneath his fingers not enough. "Faye," he says, reclaiming her mouth, kissing her with everything he has like he can will her not to stop. "Faye," he says, and then again, so at least she'll know that, despite all the ways in which Dean is fucked up, he knows who it is he's here with, who he wants.
(no subject)
Date: 2011-07-30 11:41 pm (UTC)She manages to think better of running her teeth along his jaw, the shape of which she's practically seared into memory, and traces the bridge of her nose along the curve instead. Tugging the zipper roughly down, Faye's hand slipped under his boxers, taking his length in hand, lips momentarily curving into a wicked grin. "Hi there," she smiles, pressing a brief kiss to his lips, searching, tasting him.
(no subject)
Date: 2011-07-31 04:39 am (UTC)His hands shake when he lifts them, but he gets the one button of her shirt undone, nearly losing his knees all over again when it comes open just like that. "Faye," he says again, and he knows he sounds a little too eager, too desperate, but he's been alone for so long now, not wanting anyone for months, but here underground, surrounded by death and danger and Faye, Dean feels alive again.
"God," he exhales, unable to resist a moment longer, one hand curving around the heavy weight of her breast, the other at the back of her neck to steady her when Dean seals his mouth over hers, hungry for her in each and every way he can get.
(no subject)
Date: 2011-07-31 07:19 am (UTC)When she comes up for breath, Faye pushes away enough to try and reach for the lever and controls of the bathysphere, bringing them to another slow halt. There's a part of her, too, that finds comfort in a decision finally made, in being too far invested to step away now, her hands desperately working at his shirt, tugging with enough fervor that she can feel a few strings snap, threads woven through the buttons loosening before one falls to the floor of the bathysphere with a clatter.
"I thought I was supposed to be the one with the difficult clothing," she quips with a grin, her hands shaking as they roughly tug his shirt down, eyes lazily tracing along the tattoo partially exposed before leaning in, tracing along the ink with open-mouthed kisses and teeth lightly grazing skin.
(no subject)
Date: 2011-08-13 04:32 am (UTC)"We're really doin' this," he murmurs, half to himself, and then he's lost to the soft warmth of her breasts, stubble scraping over delicate skin before he tempers himself, sets his lips to the spot and soothes with his tongue. It's been forever since he had his face between a woman's breasts, and he feels as eager as a child, but he only means to be half as clumsy.
(no subject)
Date: 2011-08-13 05:15 am (UTC)Her gaze rises towards the ceiling of the bathysphere as his lips press against her breast, tongue hot against her skin. Faye honestly can't remember the last time a man paid close attention to her needs, and all she can feel now is overwhelmed, surprised, fingers desperately weaving through his hair as her breath hitches. "You'd better believe it," she breathes, eyes dark when they open again, clouded with want. "It won't be pretty if you stop now."
Legs wrapped tightly around his waist, Faye slips her feet out of her boots, each landing on the floor of the submarine with a hollow thud, before she nudges a heel against the small of Dean's back, insistent, rolling her hips with the movement.
(no subject)
Date: 2011-08-23 02:29 am (UTC)It's a filthy thought, but it seems to match everything about this day - the dank and dark of Rapture, the bodies they've left behind, all the unspeakable things he wants to do to the woman wrapped around his waist. He feels a sudden need to make up for it, make it good, but he thinks he'll settle for making her scream.
Peeling her hands from him, Dean wraps her fingers around the support rail of the bathysphere, drops her legs from his waist and then drops himself to his knees. Catching her waist in his hands, Dean nuzzles at the soft skin of her belly, deft fingers pulling those little shorts she wears open and down. "Definitely not stopping," he breathes hot against her, sealing his mouth over where she's already wet through her underwear.
(no subject)
Date: 2011-08-23 03:16 am (UTC)It never quite arrives.
There's a touch of alarm in Faye's eyes when she continues to watch Dean's movement, the panic arising from where Faye has, in her years, remained fairly inexperienced. Desire is something which isn't easy to wield. It's far simpler to lose oneself blindly in the pleasure than it is to remain considerate— or at least, Faye tries to convince herself of that fact, the only way to explain all the times she's been left rather unfulfilled in the rare evenings when loneliness turns into desperation. But this is different, the tough of rough fingers brushing gently over her skin, the bridge of his nose pressed against her side, and suddenly she feels impossibly young. No longer jaded, and instead overwhelmed.
"Oh god," she murmurs, breath hitching as her hands grip the bar tight, knuckles stretching to bone white. A whimper fights to escape from her lips even as she presses them tightly together, toes curling as a heel meets the wall with a clang of metal. "God, Dean."
Even through the haze of her mind, she can't help thinking: her cover's blown.
(no subject)
Date: 2011-08-23 03:43 am (UTC)"I like the way you say my name," he says as he pulls her leg gently over his shoulder. They're words he's spoken before, usually with a cocky quirk of his brow, but this time he really means it. The words aren't a boast, they're an invitation. He wants her to enjoy this, to let go, be loud, god, he wants to hear it.
Ducking his head, he kisses up the delicate skin of her inner thigh, but this time he doesn't stop, and when he reaches the sweet, hot core of her, Dean's tongue flicks out, every part of him eager to taste her.
(no subject)
Date: 2011-08-23 04:11 am (UTC)She's not sure she wants to know what this is. Whether or not anything will come of it. His lips press hot against her thigh, rough stubble brushing each kiss away, and there are words that threaten to tumble through her lips. Wanting this faster. Harder. To the point where she can't breath. "Dean—"
But his tongue brushes against her again, and this time her groan is lower, caught in her throat before it passes through her lips with a quaver. Somewhere along the line, her hands have dropped, fingers weaving through his hair. She hopes she hasn't tugged too hard, thighs hugging either side of him, chest rising and falling.
"Fuck," she whispers. "Don't make me get all sentimental, Winchester. That's supposed to come after."
(no subject)
Date: 2011-08-27 02:57 am (UTC)He can't help but groan when he finds it, can't get far, not even when he grips her ass to bring her even closer, but it's still good, all tight, slick heat that he wants to slip his fingers through next, his dick. "Faye," he mutters into her skin, face a mess for the quick second he looks up at her, heel of one hand at his own groin and pressing hard. Christ, he could almost come from this, just from the sounds she makes. "C'mon, pull my hair if you wanna, I don't mind."
(no subject)
Date: 2011-08-27 05:19 am (UTC)Shuddering, Faye leans back, feeling her hair snag against the uneven surface of the cool metal behind her and heat cooling over, under she shivers by the time the wave hits her toes. The cry which passes through her lips is so high, it's embarrassing, Faye biting roughly down on her lower lip to stifle it as best she can. When he doesn't stop, her head snaps back and forth, lips gasping for breath as she presses into the wall.
Swallowing thickly, her throat parched, Faye grabs a hold of his chin as best she can, coaxing his gaze up.
"Give me a kiss before I change my mind," she instructs him, voice sharp and insistent. No obscenities, no softening of her tone— it's an order, for all that her arms feel weak and her fingers still shake.
(no subject)
Date: 2011-08-31 03:09 am (UTC)"Like the way you sound," he murmurs, and fuck, he might as well just tell her he likes everything, because his body's not exactly making it a secret. He's so hard he's lightheaded, and even the smallest brush of her body against the tent in his boxers makes him want to die. He tries to be gentle, but he wants her so much, and when Dean kisses her it's hard and hungry.
(no subject)
Date: 2011-09-01 02:44 am (UTC)"Like your everything. 'Cept when you're telling me off," she breathes, letting her lips trail along his jaw, lightly sucking at the skin of his neck and feeling his pulse rush underneath. Trailing fingers against his abdomen, Faye lets her fingers find their way under his boxers again, pressing against his hardness before wrapping her hand around his cock with a swift stroke. Teeth tracing against the lobe of his ear, Faye whispers into the shell, surprisingly coy in spite of everything— usually, she doesn't spare many words for this. "Wanna feel you inside me."
(no subject)
Date: 2011-10-11 02:59 am (UTC)Shoving his boxers down, he stills her hand on him as gently as he can with trembling fingers, so close already that if she keeps touching him, he's gonna go off. "Wanted you forever, god, Faye," he groans, lined up and ready though he doesn't slide home, some part of him afraid that somehow, in the next moment, this delirious fantasy will be gone. "Make it so good for you, I promise, just let me," he gasps, "Let me, let me - "
(no subject)
Date: 2011-10-11 03:48 am (UTC)Not in the frailty of a choice, so much as a fear of the future that she catches in his eyes, clouded. And it makes her feel safe.
Her mind doesn't linger tonight on what that means.
"Don't make promises," she continues, voice hitching. "Just make me scream."
(no subject)
Date: 2011-10-11 05:33 am (UTC)There's a fuck you there when he opens his mouth, but he says it with his hips instead, slides forward and in in in, deep into tight, wet heat. "Gonna learn how you like it," he says against her ear, pulls his hips back to thrust again, his hands tight on her hips to angle her to take him just so. "Gonna make you wish you weren't too stubborn to come back for more."
