Talking about why this scene was rewritten/cut. Says he would get notes saying they know what the subtext is, bury it, use language less to the core but he wants to go straight to the core. Says its still clear Castiel is totally ride or die by Dean. He has to show it not tell it.
You were not crazy, folks, and I need to lie down.

Okay, yeah, spn writers getting their lines cut because certain parties wanted the subtext more buried. But Ben Edlund also full on telling us SHOW DON'T TELL matters and letting things be self-evident because it's right there so...it's there.
He also said he really liked how they just said it outright with the "more profound bond" line.
So it's self-evident show don't tell
And it's been said outright
And he's for saying it outright
But if something self evident isn't said outright that doesn't mean it's not there and not canon and not text.
Let me repeat myself: If something self evident isn't said outright that doesn't mean it's not there and not canon and not text.

[Image ID: There are three images. The first one is similar to a title card and shows a screenshot froom the show supernatural. Dean and Castiel stand facing each other. The screenshot is faded and superimposed with a blue background from a news show. In the front is a logo which says 'Destiel News Channel'. The second is a screenshot of Castiel from the same confession scene. At the bottom is a newsticker. The headline says 'There's much to be said about Destiel'. The subline says 'Did Ben Edlund just break the next seal of Destiel canon events?'. The third image is a screenshot of Dean from the same scene edited so that a text looking like subtitles spells out 'I love you'. /End ID]

Wherein Sam’s getting married, Dean is helping out as best he can, and Sam and Jess are worried about Dean, who keeps meeting Castiel and doesn’t quite mind.

ETA: Submitted by resident-longwinded-anon (technically a WIP but first verse stands on its own):
The Colour ‘Verse (Dean) by whelvenwings [T, 10,700 word count, WIP]
Dean the Firefighter lives in a world of greys, reds, oranges and yellows. He’s a lower-spectrum, and the only way he can get his kick of green or blue is by sharing his colours with strangers in back alleys - until one day Cas crashes into his world, bringing the whole of the glorious upper spectrum with him.
And take a look at firefighter!dean fanart at destielfanworks!
ETA November, 2018
The Graveyard Shift by PurgatoryJar, riseofthefallenone [NC-17, 483,000 word count, WIP]
Dean’s favourite coffee shop, The Graveyard Shift, is only open after the sun goes down. Which is perfect for him, because that’s exactly when he craves coffee the most while doing the overnight at the fire hall. The coffee shop’s owner is pretty perfect too, but it’s kind of a bummer that Dean never gets to see Cas during the day. In a world where the supernatural live more or less in peace with the rest of humanity, it’s a little impolite to ask Cas just what he really is - or what his dark past entails.
Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire by OsirisApollo (previously recced here) [T, 14,500 word count]
ER doctor, Castiel Novak, lives a boring life outside of his job. He doesn’t have time for much else with such long hours and so little sleep. But all of that changes when the fire alarm in his condo forces him outside during the day, and he manages to embarrass himself in front of the hottest fireman he’s ever seen. Castiel is ready to chalk it up to a one-time disaster, but the universe seems to have other plans. DeanCas MiniBang 2018

I finally had the privilege of arting for @deancaspinefest! I loved drawing for @fallenangelandpie's canon-divergent fic Djinn and Tonic, which is full of post-15x18 Dean pining (mmm yes my favorite kind of pain).
It also deploys one of my favorite devices from the show, djinn-induced dream worlds, as a pathway from self-destruction to self-acceptance. And also kissing.
I loved getting to play with visual distortions, divergent styles, and surreal image elements, and it was an even bigger bonus to include a nonbinary hunter character. I hope y'all enjoy the story as much as I did!
Read on AO3.
