For the fic meme I'd love to see an excerpt from the EMPTY fic!

Thank you so much for asking!! ♥

In the tag game I described this one as "a lot of romantic scenes taking place in the middle of bloody hunts/gore-splattered hunt aftermath/gross unromantic places." I'm realizing now the file is an absolute mess, so this is just about the only coherent part I have:

Squelch. It’s too wet-sounding to blame on the dew, so Dean stops.

“Uh. I think there’s some vamp on my boot.” Could just be blood, but it looks suspiciously like grey matter, so he’s not gonna examine it too closely. He rubs his foot against the ground, scraping and wiping it from the sole of his shoe, flattening the already wet grass. You’d think the dew would help clean the blood off, but no, that would be too fucking easy.

Cas walks on ahead, disappearing into the crisscrossing pine boughs; Dean doesn’t blame him. This is stupid—he’s already covered in vamp guts, and he can feel it drying in the light summer breeze, tacky on his skin and stiff on his clothes.

Then Cas comes back, a dark silhouette through the trees. “Come with me.” Cas lifts his jaw, beckoning Dean forward with just the angle of his head. Cas doesn’t explain, just walks on into the tangle of woods.

A field opens up ahead where the line of trees abruptly stops. Cas steps out into it, and a few feet behind, Dean follows—jeans swishing audibly against the tall grass. It’s knee-high, even higher further into the field.

There’s a rundown barn probably a hundred years old. Barely visible after dark, its almost concave roof a slightly deeper black than the sky behind it, a long rectangle slouching in the night. A chimney, a few feet from the barn, stands with no house to surround it. And all around them, flashing on and off, are white Christmas lights.

Except. No. It’s June.

(continued under the cut)

And who the hell would decorate a rotting barn, anyway?

Dean still doesn’t know why they’re here, why Cas has stopped. Cas just nods out at the field. Look.

At first he’s not sure what he’s seeing. It’s not just the barn; there are blips of lights in the grass, in the air. Pinpricks of light popping on and off all over, dozens, hundreds?

These are not fireflies—they can’t be. From the grass to the tops of the trees, higher than Dean even thought bugs could fly, briefly indistinguishable from the faint stars above the forest when they blink on. This is not the slow, gentle fading in and out of yellow-green he’s used to seeing over grass in the summer; this is fast, almost frantic, this is Christmas lights—

“What the hell is this? This is—this is something man-made, right?”

“No.”

“But—fireflies don’t look like that.”

“They do. You just haven’t seen them like like this before.” Cas sounds immensely pleased with himself.

A light flashes near Dean’s toes. One inch more and it would’ve been under his boot with the vamp guts.

“Woah, don’t crush the little guy,” Dean cautions, covered head to toe in blood, as Cas kneels down to scoop it from the grass.

“I won’t.” Cas smiles a little, like Dean just said something adorably stupid.

Which it was. Stupid. Of course Cas can control his freaky angel strength. He can see the gentleness and care with which Cas cups the bug in his palm and holds it out for Dean to see. It walks up his wrist, the side of his hand, flashing on and off. It’s more recognizable up close, its insect shape, that distinctly yellow-green glow. It’d be kinda like angel grace, the way Cas’ fingers flare with light when he heals one of Dean’s injuries, if it wasn’t the wrong color.

“Actually,” Cas adds, “it’s not a ‘guy’.”

“Oh. It’s a chick lightning bug? Cool.”

“Yes. The females tend to stay closer to the ground.”

“So, over the trees—” Dean points. “Hey, that one’s insanely high up—”

“That’s a plane.”

“Fine, Mr. Know It All, what about that one?”

“Also a plane.”

As they leave, Dean picks his way through the field awkwardly, looking before each step. An hour ago there’d been heads rolling past his feet; now he’s dodging barely substantial dots of light, weaving around his ankles.

@angelinthefire​ i am kissing you on this mouth this is the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me

[destiel-wings]

Ooh what's "the one where Dean holds tight"?

Thank you for asking!! 💙

The full title (of the prompt) would be "the one where Dean holds tight and is taken too by the Empty" and i don't know about you but I'm already SCREAMING.

So you get the idea. When Cas tries to push him away Dean doesn't let him and he holds on to Cas with all the strength that he has --and they're both taken to the Empty.

It's one of the first prompts i came up with, but it's currently sitting there waiting with my other prompt drafts in my "fics to write" pile cause I'm writing another WIP at the moment.

Here's a raw sneak peek from my draft, set immediately after they find themselves thrown into the Empty (yes, they're awake because of reasons, will think it through when i actually write it 😆)

*********************************************

"No."

Cas dismayed, his low deep voice

"What have you done."

(D, shackled)"What have i--what have I done??"

Cas turns to it, angry

"You have to throw him back. You hear me? OPEN THE PORTAL."

(Empty/Meg)"No, can't do thaaat."

(C)"This wasn't part of our deal. He has no part in it all."

(D)"Cas..."

(C)"It was MY deal. You're going to let him out."

The Empty chuckles

"Well I opened the portal to get you, little angel, and if your boyfriend's stupid enough to follow you here, then that's his problem, not mine."

"--NO. (moves) No you're gonna--"

"--CAS."

Dean stops him from the shoulder. Cas turns.

He's still frantic.

"Just... just stop."

"What, what do you mean stop, you could stay trapped here forever, are you suicidal?!"

(D, mad)"Well, I don't know, are you??!"

This shuts him up. For the moment.

(C, guilty)"This... this wasn't supposed to happen."

"Which part?!"

Cas' gaze is suddenly lost, buried in self blame.

"All of it."

Cas grace vampirism!

Hiii two other people have already asked about it so I thought I should dig up an excerpt. This is Cas pov stolen grace stuff. I alluded to his gay forehead bathing fantasies in my first answer, and the paragraph I have of it in my drafts in my drafts isn't too embarassing I don't think, so here you go! This is set during his motel bathrobe era. I have 3k of Cas introspection during his motel bathrobe era, which is especially hilarious given at the time that's more than I'd ever written for any single finished piece of fiction:

Sometimes he likes to imagine how Dean might tend to him now, if he were here, instead of wherever he is. Metatron seems to have had a penchant for regency romances at some point, which provide Castiel with lots of inspiration for how humans might tend to their ailing loved ones. Rain showers seemed to be treated as particularly hazardous in the past, something he can begin to appreciate from his time as a human, and in general humans in these novels are depicted as falling dramatically ill strikingly more often than he has witnessed spending time with Sam and Dean. His own affliction is of course very different to those of the characters being treated, but even with that, and with the time elapsed, he sees no reason why similar principles wouldn’t apply. Cas can imagine his eyes slipping closed to the sight of Dean at his bedside, and then blinking awake to still find him there, several hours later, just as a gesture of concern, to no practical end, but perhaps Cas’s comfort. He knows it’s not realistic, not even if Dean were fully Dean, rather than whatever it is that the combination of his death at Metatron’s hand and the effects of the Mark of Cain has resulted in. Dean would be more sensible than to dedicate all that time to the sunk cost Cas has become, and Cas isn’t foolish enough to pretend otherwise. He didn’t give up his angel army for Dean expecting to get something out of it. But he can still imagine that Dean might stay with him and rub his back when he coughed, or wipe his forehead with a damp cloth, or that he might wake up to Dean’s hand in his. He’s not sure what the damp cloth is supposed to achieve as such, but it is nice to think about Dean doing that. If anything, the fact that he knows it wouldn’t happen makes it a safer train of thought. He’s not being presumptuous if he doesn’t remotely presume.

11, 20, 43, 74 for the know your fic writer asks

hi!!

so for 11: (in no order

so says the sword.

my roots take flight

who ya gonna call by daphne ( @saintedcastiel) go read it right now it’s soo good. yku should probably read her other fics too they’re all so good!

20. i feel like i keep writing amara getting all of the good powers, a lot of dean having trouble saying what he wants to.. a lot of talk about cas getting a cat (and my wip has cas actually getting a cat. so) i also have two fics that are got their names from Hey Jude lyrics

43. i don’t whump characters as much i think - like i don’t put them in horribly angst situations - but i do like to explore existing angst in their characters, and so i guess i’ll put them in situations where that angst can really come out? i may just not understand what whump means entirely though

74. if the beatles keep cropping up, and everyone keeps cutting themselves off and restarting their sentences, and the word “and” is used entirely too much - that’s me babey!!

#angelinthefire #writers ask game

[autisticandroids]

For the deep fic writer asks:

3, 10, 15

3. what fic are you emotionally attached to?

all of them. my most problematic trait is that i looooooove my own writing and reread it all the time and get tons of joy out of it. but i think maybe one of the ones i'm more attached to is getting serious. like, i really like that fic, and the fact that it's so slice of life makes me feel less like i've inserted myself into supernatural canon to make things happen, and more like i'm just hanging out with and contemplating my friends sam and dean and cas. you know? so like getting serious, or i fold in half so easily also fits that bill. and both of those fics have like... had time to age, without me getting sick of them. like other older fics i might no longer agree with the interpretations presented now, or they're on some level just porn which you can really only get so much out of, or they're just something i was obsessing over for months until i managed to actually Get It Out as a fic and then i no longer cared? so i got less interested in a lot of my other fics over time, but getting serious and i fold in half so easily i'm still very attached to.

10. how has writing positively impacted your mental health or overall mood?

oh man, it's definitely made me more confident. no question about that. like i've written fic for as long as i can remember, but it comes so much easier these days than it used to, and that makes me feel really good. like i'm competent at something, like i can put my mind to a task and accomplish it. like, writing genuinely used to be like pulling teeth and now it's... man, i'm not gonna say it's easy, but it's definitely easier. this is actually true with all sorts of writing, in the past few years, so like, fanfiction has gotten a little easier, but academic writing is nothing to me now, i can just sit down with twelve hours until a deadline and write an eight page paper with very little stress. and i noticed that getting easier. fanfiction is a lot harder than that, but it is very exciting to me that all writing has gotten easier, including creative writing. one of these days i may even be able to write longfic!!

15. How do you think your writing as improved over time?

i mean the thing is, on some level i've always been the same person? if you look at, say, some of the death note fic i wrote when i was seventeen, it's a lot like a clunky version of my current interests. i've definitely learned to use more sophisticated techniques over time. i'm better at subtext now, i'm better at implication, i more often feel like i've succeeded in what i was going for. but like, recently i went back and took a gander at some of the dumb spn fic i wrote as a fifteen year old (and later anonymized, it's not on my ao3 if i'm embarrassed by it), and don't get me wrong, it's bad, but the worst thing about it is that at fifteen i had no idea how the world worked and so the events of the fic are kind of silly. the writing isn't awesome, but it's identifiably mine. and the basic ideas and concepts are very much like... something i would really like to at least read now, as an adult, even if i might not be as interested in writing them these days. although honestly i might be interested in writing them, too.

Happilyfeatherafter's ficrec Fridays

Back for my second week of fics I've read and loved recently, as well as a couple of throw backs. If you missed last week's you can find it here for more!

12 January 2024

Altitude by enochianprayer (@chapeldean, art by @hornystiel here and @naughtystiel here) is a wintery delight, in which Dean is a seasonal worker in a mountain lodge and Castiel is a hiker who's passing through. Enchanted by their brief encounter with each other, Dean can't get Cas out of his head, and Cas' questioning leads him to find something holy in the revelations he stumbles upon at the lodge. Sweet and romantic, wild and wandering, cosy and brave.

boy leave your boots by the bed by an_ardent_rain (@alulangel) is a post-canon fix it, a smutty cowboy kink (shh yes this WILL be a recurring theme on my rec lists), wish fulfilment fic for the spn bang bang with one of my favourite tropes of Dean and Cas going on little dates without really realising they're going on little dates, whilst pining. Plus absolutely wonderful banter:

Cas squints and ignores that.  “Technically, you could say that this heaven is still ‘in beta’ now,” he says, and he uses the air quotes and it’s so adorable Dean bites the swell of a bottom lip to hold in a fond smile.  Cas is, as always, a giant dork.  “But we are soliciting feedback.”

“Yeah, you got a heavenly suggestion box?  Hotline for complaints?  Five stars, would die and spend eternity here again?”

“There are… more than five stars, Dean.”

Sweet Science by emmbrancsxx0, (@valleydean) is now complete, a 12 days of smutmas challenge continuation to the incredible destiel 1930s boxing au Heavyweight. Cas and Dean are on a romantic winter retreat to get out of the spotlight against the backdrop of the burgeoning economic depression in New York, both seeing the boxing world become harder to maintain a living. With Cas secretly planning to retire, and not yet letting on to Dean, can they navigate their future whilst still maintaining their hard fought for trust? I love these guys so much and am so glad to be back in their world.

The Root of this Love by kathscradle is for all the bearded!Misha fans. May he have survived the acrylic paint incident. The very short and sweet and sexy premise: Cas is hairy, now that he’s human. Dean can’t get a grip on himself. (But he sure can get a grip on Cas!) Smutty body hair celebration and body worship.

Just Being and Just Having by Englandwouldfall is the post-canon fic series I drop everything to read every time there's a new update. It delves so incredibly beautifully into Dean and Cas' history of miscommunication and gives them the chance to truly talk things out, finding themselves falling more deeply in love as they do so and understand their own mistakes but also what makes them work so well together when they're no longer under Chuck's thumb. Each chapter feels like therapy and a brain and heart massage! Two chapters left to go of Just Having, dive in now so you can lose your mind with me when it's complete.

Solitudes by ilovehowyouletmefall (@angelinthefire, art by @hawkland) is set in season 12 after Cas is nearly killed by Ramiel. Dean is close to acknowledging his feelings, whilst Cas is weighed down by the responsibility to find Kelly, but he agrees to help out on one more hunt before he leaves. Trapped, they encounter a monster which makes both of their nightmares come true...or so they think. Witnessing each other's despair, this is a haunting and genuinely creepy story that will make your heart ache.

Art Masterpost: Solitudes

Story by: ilovehowyouletmefall (@angelinthefire) Art by: sidewidner (@hawkland)

It's October and that means it's @deancasbigbang season once again! This year makes for my third time around for the event, although this year I only managed to participate as an artist (I'm still in a bit of writer's burnout since the summer). But, that meant I could put all of my focus and time into doing these four pieces for @angelinthefire's wonderful story "Solitudes." I'm gonna talk a little bit about my ideas and process and share some progress pictures behind the cut in a way that might be kind of spoilery, so if you want, just go read the story now! And then you come back here later to find out more if you wish. All works were completed in watercolor with some digital effects and filtering after completion.

I was really drawn to the imagery of the architectural elements of where the story takes place (an abandoned brutalist mansion) vs. nature and decay...plus the way light and shadow seemed to play such important roles in the visual descriptions. Dean and Cas spend so much of the story separated by supernatural forces even when they are in the same room I wanted to focus on that as well: being so near yet so far apart, not quite connecting or even able to look at each other without barriers.

I started on the banner art right away, thinking of Dean in despair (for reasons in the story) and Cas yearning/wishing he could reach him. Behind them both is the concrete wall covered in mold and moss (which was a LOT of fun to paint). The actual final watercolor painting came out as so:

(This is one of my favorite Deans that I've painted. His face can be SO hard to get right!)

Working with angelinthefire's suggestions I ran some different digital filters on the photo to desaturate/emphasize the light and dark for the final banner, and then with that in mind tried to keep the other pieces in a similar color scheme and tonal range.

The atrium painting was the biggest challenge. I knew I wanted to do a piece to capture the feeling of the house, the light coming in from an open skylight falling on brambles growing out of an old fountain spot. I was thinking of the Roman villa ruins I've visited combined with some actual Brutalist/modern homes I looked up. My original drawing plan was a bit more complicated and simplifying/taking out some elements definitely makes it more creepy/mysterious looking and less like a funky modern home.

You can see the vanishing/perspective point is right where Dean is looking at Cas.

The light falling down from above was partially painted with some interference/shimmer watercolors, but I amplified it (along with the shadows) with some digital effects at the end. This was before doing any digital magic:

Dean reaching for Cas: I made myself so sad working on that piece! It was also quite the challenge to get the likeness right at that angle and do the lighting the way I wanted, so again I used some digital effects at the end to really intensify it. Painting before filters:

I think my favorite part of that one is how I dry-brushed the ash wings in one shot and they came out just how I wanted! My main reference was, heh, that old classic shot of unconscious Cas being poked with a stick. I used my own hand for Dean's reaching out to what he sees through the harsh angled light.

The final piece is a direct companion to the one above it, and one I'd been thinking about for weeks, trying to map it out mentally before tackling it. Dean's face can be so much more challenging for me to try to capture well compared to Cas's and I really wanted to get his shock and horror in that moment while also being able to show (the real) Cas in the background/shadows...this was the third drawing pass before I finally started painting it. There's only a light bit of filtering over the final piece to push Cas back in the shadows (I didn't want to do with the paints for fear of muddying the colors...plus I was already painting Cas so small any wrong brush stroke could shift his likeness/expression.)

Overall I really like how unified these pieces all ended up feeling and I hope they manage to complement the story in a way that it deserves!

“No, you don’t understand. We’re going to find something that would be fun for you to cook. You know, like when you see a meal somewhere and just think ‘oh boy, I wanna make that’. Like the pasta sauce in The Godfather, or – fuck, I don’t know – like in Ratatouille.” Cas looks at him blankly and Dean sighs. “Well just… be on the lookout, okay?”

questions for fic writers: 5, 6, 37

hello!!

5. What do you wish someone would ask you about [insert fic]? Answer it now!

ooo i think id like to be asked about my favorite (or most insanity inducing) part of Holy Palmers' Bloody Kiss, and it was definitely the lemonade drinking scene (drink it anyways, cas says, and i lost my shit as if i didn't make him say that) and also when dean's internal monologue is like "the one thing he wants is something he knows he can't have."

6. What’s one fact about the universe of [insert fic] that you didn’t get a chance to mention in the fic itself?

ooooooo!!!! i kinda tried to allude to it but dean in Goodnight Moon is ace, and i wanna write a prequel fic to it where it's more prominent (and theres a snippet from that prequel where dean says "what if I never want to have sex again?" floating around tumblr somewhere

37. Promote one of your own “deep cut” fics (an underrated one, or one that never got as much traction as you think it deserves!). What do you like about it?

uhmmm i think my beatlesnatural fic maybe? dean and mary drives me insane and it got a good reception i just. i think bc destiel is more of a secondary thing in the fic and the focus really is dean's mommy issues but the line "i'll never be your baby again but i'll always be your son" KILLS ME

sorry for taking so long to answer i spent a lot of time to think of these answers

where there is darkness: now complete

pairing: dean/cas tags: historical au, angst with a happy ending, slow burn, h/c

When Castiel Milton takes a job to be the new assistant keeper at Whaleback Lighthouse in Kittery, Maine, he expects to live out his new life in quiet isolation. What he gets instead is Dean Winchester: bitter, brash, and, like Castiel, harboring a dark secret. As the spark of attraction between them grows into a flame, the lighthouse walls start closing in—as do the ghosts of Dean and Castiel's checkered pasts.

1. ... gonna stay with you forever

It’s not in his nature to give up and surrender until everything’s been attempted. It’s not like him to simply let go. Not when it matters. Not when he cares.

2. ... you can have me

He closes his eyes and everything goes black.

3. I need to say something

He sees dirt flow away before his eyes. Pebbles, grass, soil. They’re dragging him, he’s coming to his senses, and they’re dragging him somewhere, away from Dean.

4. There are cameras in the dungeon

It’s the middle of the night in the bunker.

The Love That Binds Us

The Boiling Isles were not how they left it. The stars dotting the night sky were oddly brighter than they were before. It was enough that they could tell several pieces of the Titan’s bones had been torn from the land and suspended into the air at varying heights.

2. Beneath the Endless Water

Willow opened her eyes and she was back again in that graveyard. Her tongue felt heavy and knotted in her mouth. She hated sleeping these days, because this moment kept haunting her.

3. Boyfriend Training

The basement door opened a crack, and then slowly swung open with a loud squeak. Hunter’s feet froze in place and he motioned for Vee to remain silent.

4. Palistrom Heart

Slowly, Hunter began regaining control of his senses. He floated in between the place where dreams beckoned him back beneath their endless weight and where reality mercilessly called him home.

5. Children Of The Witches You Couldn’t Kill

The sun wasn't supposed to do that.

6. A Golden Crown

Gus slapped a hand to the side of the airship entrance and leaned heavily on it. Sweat dripped down his nose and his knees wobbled with exhaustion. “She…she wanted to protect you. And Eda.”

7. World's Apart

Unfortunately, I've been really busy the past several months with life and work, so I haven't been keeping up with who's actively writing fics these days. I have so many things to catch up on. (So if you tag me, I WILL bookmark it and get to it.)
