They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes
Supernatural 12x06, “Celebrating the Life of Asa Fox.”
Let me tell you a story. This is a story about two best friends and one of them dies. He dies without a family of his own. He dies because of hunting. He dies because of an obsession with hunting one particular monster. It’s so predictable.
Yeah, Bucky and Asa, such great buddies. Such a shame.
No wait! That’s not the story! It turns out all of that is wrong, apart from one of the friends dying. That bit is true.
It’s really a story about two best friends, and one of them dies. But before he does he ends up with two kids – surprise! It’s about a demon who wreaks havoc, possessing someone the friends trust. It’s about a friend dying by his best friend’s hand, and the aftermath of that wrecks him.
No… wait. Wrong story. That’s Bobby and Rufus. Oops. Got mixed up there.
It’s a story about two best friends and one of them dies; but no, he doesn’t die like that after all. One of the friends has an angel blade. One is enemies with a demon who is maybe a bit fonder of him than the demon should be. One of the friends has a mother who hates hunting. Everyone knows about them – there’s gossip. It’s legendary.
Wait. Wait. Whose story is that? Are we still talking about Asa and Bucky? It sounds familiar somehow. Are you sure?
It’s definitely a story about two best friends. And one of them dies at the hands of the other.
No, no, no. That’s Castiel and Balthazar. Shit, this is confusing.
Look, it’s definitely a story about two best friends…. and one of them dies, and the other one is wrecked as a result.
That’s how it goes. That’s how it always goes. Right?
