Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Orlando/Viggo
Beta: anobtuselife. Any remaining errors are all mine.
Warnings: Major Orlando whumping. Viggo too, but mainly Orlando. References to prostitution plus drug use and man sex. Abuse of main characters. Character death and suicide references. In short, a happy, happy birthday fic.
Feedback: Is so very welcome.
Word Count: 10,728

Genre: Angsty supernatural dark!fic that uses lore from the televison show Supernatural but in a LotR RPS (hopefully AU) scenario. Sequel to the first part of The Deal posted on January 14th 2008. Crosses over with another of my fics, The Fall. It would be useful to read those (especially The Deal) first in order to have this make the most sense.

Disclaimers: All credit to Eric Kripke and the Supernatural writers for their influence on this story. Especial credit to Eric for one word line that I straight out 'homaged' from Series 4, Episode 1 of Supernatural (Lazarus Rising). The poor actors are not mine, the characters are not real, and this is definitely not for profit.

Summary:

On his birthday in 1999 Orlando made a deal with the Crossroads Demon. He bargained for ten years of success in return for his mortal soul. Not a bad deal when you're on the edge of despair and surviving on drugs and prostituting yourself. Now, ten years on, his situation has changed - but his time is up.
