Summary
Akira Kurusu is dead.
Goro knows this because he can see him. He’s standing beside the bar, miserable and translucent, his posture tight and eyes faded dull. He flinches every time someone suggests going back to the ship to get him, presumably because, like Goro, he knows what they’ll find. He wonders if he’s real— he assumes he can’t be. Ghosts aren’t an actual thing that exist, and it wouldn’t be that much of a stretch for his own mind to finally have fucking cracked after a day like today.
It doesn’t matter. Either he’s finally snapped, because Akira is dead and it’s his fault, or he’s being haunted because Akira is dead and it’s his fault. The difference, in the moment, feels semantic.
(It's not like it's bad having him around. And if he's right and Goro can bring him back? Well. He's not going to get his hopes up.)

Summary
"I came," Burakh says, eyes bright and honest as they meet Daniil's, "because you asked."
Intense, Daniil thinks, unbidden—his piercing gaze, his rumbling voice. As if he doesn't know how to be any other way.
"And," Daniil drawls as he steps forward, suddenly emboldened, "does a Warden of the Kin go wherever he's beckoned?"
"No. But a surgeon might, for a colleague." Straightforward, simple, with little hesitation. Burakh looks at Daniil as he moves closer, but doesn't pull away. Then Burakh falters—a rare sight, in the time Daniil's known him—before he continues, quieter than before. "Or a man might, for a friend."
On Day 12, on the cusp of his defeat, the Bachelor asks for one final favor.

Summary
“I think,” Cas grits out, “that the spell requires me to say the truth. I’ve been trying to suppress it with my grace, but it’s… not working.”
“Got it,” Dean says, nodding, because he can work with this. “Yeah. Sure. So give me some truths. Some stupid little ones.”
Cas narrows his eyes. “Such as?”
“Like, I dunno, what’s your favorite color?”
Cas’s face somehow goes stonier. “Green,” he ekes out.
Dean clears his throat. Blinks a few times. “Oh.”
________Or: when Dean and Cas investigate a group of high school students getting mysteriously ill, Cas gets hit with a truth spell.

Summary
“Sir Hans!” Henry said, raising his voice. “Sir!”
Hans stepped into the clearing, sticks crunching under his feet. He waved behind his back to get Henry to calm down.
“Hans!”
Hans stopped. He turned around to face Henry, with a stunned smile on his face. He coaxed his expression into a lightly amused mask and took a step forward. “Well… my friend—” he said, and there was a loud crack, like a tree branch breaking off or a sharp thunderclap, and Hans was gone.
---
Hans falls in a frozen pond during a hunting trip and Henry pulls him out. Soaking wet, freezing and lost in the forest they have to huddle up and hope to survive the night. At the same time, Henry faces some unexpected feelings as he does everything in his power to keep Hans alive.Whumptober - Day 18 - Environmental Whump
