A little.

Which means a lot.

Narcissus In Chains {Jim, Balthazar} - T
Balthazar, set on destroying John's life any way he can, manages to lure Jim Moriarty into a London alleyway. Here they do it like rabbits, and realize that they have more in common than they think. They start playing a dangerous and crushing game made of submission and wits.

Sanctuary {John, Natasha, Lazarus} - T
After receiving a few panicked and guilt-ridden messages from Jim (who has just decided to kill himself in order to prevent Balthazar from further hurting John) Constantine contacts Lazarus and Natasha, who's just managed to pull herself out of her unsynched state.

Azrael, a Fallen Muse, contacts Balthazar. They commence working together, knowing that the Pit is open and that it's their chance to gain the upper hand.

They start by killing off all people gifted with True Sight, passing them off as suicides, and unleash the Stygian Triplets.

Sibling Rivalry {Izrial, Raphael} - T
Izrial, former Angel of Death and now an employee of a funeral home along with Duma, Angel of Silence, meets his brother, Raphael, and it doesn't go very well: they yell at eachother for about ten minutes before punching eachother in the face.

Despite a rocky start, they still do not manage to bridge over their differences, mainly because Raphael is an "insensitive sack of self-righteous bullshit".

Angel Face {Jane, Izrial} - T
While investigating one of the supposed suicides, detective Jane Doe meets Izrial. He recognizes the crimes as the doing of Balthazar and decides to meet the detective to discuss it further.

The Fall Commencing {Jane, Raphael, Izrial} - T
Their plans are rudely interrupted, though, when Raphael shows up at yet another suicide site. He acts like the aforementioned self-righteous sack of bullshit he is, saying that the victim will burn for killing themselves and even hurting Jane by slamming her against a wall.

They manage to bring him down, though, and knock him out. A hysterical Jane phones Izzy a few seconds before passing out, and the Archangel sneaks into the holding cell undetected, where he reveals himself to Jane and heals her. In a boust of rage, the girl attacks and punches Raphael.

This is the last straw: Raphael's already arrogant ego and weakened mind begin to snap, and he promises to himself he will destroy Izrial and prove to him how undeserving humanity truly is.

Darling Dearest Balthazar {Percy, Balthazar} - T
Percy, Azrael's wife, acts as Balthazar's informant. She tells him of the existence of Jane and of Peter, a Half-Breed Angel who works undercover in the London PD. She also tells him about Raphael's breakdown, and his fragile state of mind.

The Hunter And The Doe {Jane, Azrael} - T
Once the two brothers have left, Azrael meets Jane and tells her his name is John Constantine. He Whispers to her, manipulating her into believeing what he says and what he orders her: she is to go home and fall asleep, forgetting everything about the suicides and any supernatural doings she might've witnessed.

He even takes her phone away, mockingly texting a worried Izrial.

Of Gods And Monsters; Angels And Demons {Izrial, Ciaran, Puck, Duma} - P
Izrial, having received Azrael's texts, decides to help Jane. He fights with Ciaran about this, and ends up calling Natasha (who happens to be a friend of Puck/Robin's) to discuss the latest happenings.

Cities Of Night {Loki, Natasha} - T
Loki, now in his male form, breaks into Natasha's London flat and drunkedly apologizes to her. She decides to take him out for drinks, and an unlikely friendship beings to be forged.

Go Back To Sleep {Jane, Izrial} - T
After Peter informs Izrial that Jane's door has been marked with Iscariot's sigil, he rushes to her aide and substitues the symbol with his own Enochian one, thus ensuring the girl is protected.

Overall, everything is rainbows and kittens and adorable.

Of Ice, Wind, And Wisdom - {Ciaran, Loki} - T

Among The Hunted {Raphael; Ciaran} - T
Since he has no place to go on Earth, Izrial accepts taking Raphael in. He shares his flat with his twin, Duma, Robin Goodfellow (also known as Puck) and Ciaran, the Celtic God of Hunt. The last one realizes that Raphael has talked to a Demon and curses him, making it so Nature (since he is the very personification of it) will always tell him where the Falling Archangel is.

I Need A Smoke {Izrial, John} - T
Izrial talks to John: he warns him about his suspicions that Balthazar is scheming something, and the danger that Raphael represents, being so unstable.

Vox Dei {Izrial, Duma} - T
After being warned by Robin about his strange behavior, Izrial confronts his brother and asks him why he's been speaking to God without him knowing. Duma replies (in his own special way) that it's because he cares for his twin.

Afterdark {Natasha, Raphael, Duma} - T
Raphael, having previously texted Natasha about it, is visited by the assassin, whom brings Clint's bow with her. She promises she'll give it to him, but he has to first swear in return he'll use it with responsibility.

Raphael, paranoid, takes all of this as a trick (the feeling isn't quenched when Natasha asks for forgiveness) and reacts violently, attacking Natasha. She protects herself by spraying his face with Balthazar's blood (obtained when the deal between them was made) and burning him badly.

Enraged, the Archangel throws himself at her. She is saved just in time by Duma, whom stabs Raphael with his Angel Blade and lets him hear, for a few terrible seconds, the Voice of God.

He then trhows him out of the window.

Soft Hands {Raphael} - P
Raphael, lying on the street right below Izrial's apartment, cures himself (he is, after all, the Archangel of Healing) of the wounds he's just received, and knows there is no going back.

The Drop Out {Natasha, Izrial, Duma, Ciaran, Puck} - P
Duma offers comfort to a still shaken Natasha. Izrial, on the other hand, finds it hard to control his rage and frustration. Although the signs of the fight have mostly been erased, the Angel Blade dirty with Raphael's blood is still on the table.

They then establish an attack plan (Ciaran will continue following Raphael and hunt down Azrael; Rob will take care of the Triplets; Duma will keep a watchful eye on all of them and Izrial will take care of Jane).

Natasha asks Izrial what he will be willing to do, worse comes to worst: and all know they're on the brink of war.

Suburbia {Duma, Natasha} - P

A pain-stricken Duma realizes Natasha is the only thing that brings him calm.

She enlists the help of John and Izrial, who will serve as 'proof'.

Home {Jane, Izrial} - P
Adorable Jizrial fluff.

That's it.

That's the prose.

Fix Me Now {Loki, Clint} - T

Come Home {Clint, Izrial, Duma} - P
Clint, distraught over finding out what Raphael has done while in his body, attempts to kill himself. Duma intervenes, stopping him at the last moment in order to prevent him from going to Hell.

You Have Loved {Raphael, Loki, Ciaran, Robin} - T
Loki senses that Clint has, once again, left his body. He hunts him down, only to find that Raphael has once again taken possession of it. Enraged, he challenges the Angel and they fight. Things turn dire for the Trickster until Ciaran, along with Robin, swoops in and saves the day. Puck manages to grab a hold of the Archangel's wings and rips one off, permanently maiming him. Raphael manages to escape, and Robin leaves with his trophy.

Ciaran and Loki are left alone - after a brief discussion on immortality and ancient powers, they mAKE OUT AND IT'S CANON YOU BITCHES LOKARAN IS CANON.

Happy Birthday {John, Natasha} - T

Jim presents John with the divorce papers; John signs them.

Ill-Lit Ships {Jim, Balthazar} - T
After John leaves him and Europe for good (having found out the truth about Moriarty's criminal ways), Jim contacts Balthazar and asks him to remove the protection sigils the exorcist placed onto him. Balthazar obviously agrees. In exchange, though, Jim will have to kill off Duma.

Bite Your Tongue {Natasha, The Roommates} - P
A bit more insight on John's sudden departure is given (him finding out about Jim and no longer wanting to fight in the Third War), and it is revealed that Natasha stole his Angelblade. The Roommates obviously comfort her. Yay for ancient mythological supernannies.

Bitter For Sweet {Jane, Percy, Azrael, Raphael, Ciaran, Izrial, The Berserkers}
Azrael contacts Raphael once more and convinces him to meet with him, claiming he can bring him to Jane (in reality, he is to be lured into Balthazar's grasp). Percy, unaware of her husband's doings, on the other hand contacts Doe saying she is nervous and worried for Izrial and would like to meet with her. Coincidentally (but not really) both parties agree on the same place.

Raphael immediately sees the two women and attacks them. Percy tries to help Jane but gets mortally wounded, Jane is choked by the mad Angel. She attempts to free herself by calling out to Ciaran, whom she had previously met and learned he was her Patron God. Azrael panics and hurts her, revealing his betrayal to Percy.

Ciaran and Izrial run to the rescue, along with the Berserkers (whom arrive there first and attend to Az's wife). A fight follows in which Raphael is pulled into the Veil by Balthazar, and Azrael is cornered.

Realizing he has no other option, he asks Ciaran to kill him. More than happy to oblige, the Stag Lord utterly destroys the Demon's flesh and sends him back to Hell to be reborn. Percy is obviously destroyed by this, and she asks Ci to call Lucifer - the once Lord of Hell is, in fact, back in London - whom comes and picks her up.

Good Riddance {Percy, Lucifer} - T
Lucifer comforts a devastated Percy. They rekindle a bond they might've had, and Percy decides on spending a few days at his flat.

Saving Raphael from both Ci and Izrial, the Pride Demon brings him to a safe, neutral place where he manages to trick him into helping him retrieve the Bible of Hell in order to obtain all of the Underworld's power. They sign a blood oath.

Raphael, by doing so, loses the Presence: his mind goes blank, he breaks down. He Falls, truly, and loses all ties with his brothers.

An Eye For An Eye - {Loki, Raphael} - T
Raphael taunts Loki and, obviously, they end up fighting once again, only this time, Loki defends himself: hurting Raphael in the face, he causes the Archangel's rage, who attacks him, and tears his eye out. Terrified, the God flees to Jim Moriarty, with whom he'd previously talked.

All Of My Wrongs, And All My Wicked Ways {Loki, Jim} - T
Jim comforts a wounded and terrified Loki. The God slips in and out of consciousness, starting to mesh his own mind with the criminal's. He learns a few things, such as Jim's growing addiction to Demon blood, and his deal with Raphael. Nonetheless, the man manages to succesfully manipulate the God into trusting him.

Silver And Cold {Jane, Molly, the Roommates, Jesse Custer} - T
Jane talks to Molly about the death toll still rising although Azrael is dead - and starts to sense something isn't entirely right with her friend. Decay hits her on the head and locks her in a freezer. She's saved by one Reverend Jesse Custer, who exorcises Molly and frees Doe. They then go to the Roommates' apartment.

Mythological awkwardness ensues.

II: My Brother's Blood Machine {Natasha, Izrial} - T

III: Man Your Battle Stations {Natasha, Lucifer} - T
Sensing that something big is about to happen, Natasha contacts Lucifer. Since he owes her a favor (he was the one who sent Balthazar after her in the first place), she asks him to keep an eye over her as she travels the Highway.

Delirium Trigger {Izrial, Raphael} - T
Raphael lures Izrial to follow him through a busy London street, bringing him to an abandoned warehouse and trapping him inside a sigil that renders Angels human. A fight obviously ensues, in which Raphael, bigger and stronger (having Clint's body) overpowers his brother. He starts torturing him: during the process, Iz loses his grip on reality and meets Delirium, one of the Endless. To complete his work of destruction, Raphael stabs Izrial's eyes out; when this happens, the Corinthian appears too, holding the delirious Angel's hand.

Once Raphael has left, the Roommates (along with Natasha), appear, and carry a wounded Izrial back home. Before they leave, though, Natasha gifts Jordan Gabriel's Angel Blade.

My Brother's Keeper {Duma, Natasha} - T
Being linked to Izrial in more ways than one, Duma always feels when the other's hurting (and viceversa). Destroyed by what has just happened (both physically and emotionally), he lets himself be held by Natasha, until she asks him to watch over her with Lucifer as she travels the Highway. He obviously agrees.

Setting Fire To Sleeping Giants {Jim, Balthazar} - T
Knowing that he is unable to quench the ever-present Noise with nothing that isn't violence (and intrigued by this) Balthazar offers himself in sacrifice to Jim, saying he can do whatever he wants to him.

When the man does, The Noise is silenced for the first time.

Reaching epiphany and bliss, Jim falls to his knees, and designates Balthazar as his new God.
