LIFE IN DALMASCA

Hati Hrodvitnir, born Hati Rehw-Nong, was raised at Golmore Jungle of Dalmasca as a warg of Worldy Ice. He's the son of Fenrir and Angrboda and the twin brother of Skoll. Like any wood warder, he underwent a strict training regimen to be worthy of his rank and obtain the privilege to protect the forest in which they inhabit. From the moment he was born, he followed naught but the guidance of the Wood Mother and lived by the Green Word, never betraying his faith.

GARLEAN OCCUPATION

The wind howled through the trees, as the Viera trudged through the dense forest, his cloak flapping behind him like a tattered banner. He had always been a wood warder, a protector of the forest, but now his home lay in ruins, destroyed as a result of the Garlean invasion. His people had been slaughtered, captured, or forced to flee, and Hati had fled with his twin brother, Skoll, hoping to find safety and forgiveness from the Wood Mother for betraying their oath of never leaving their borders. But safety had been elusive, and the brothers had been on the run ever since, moving from one hiding place to another. They had promised each other to stick together no matter what, but one morning, Hati had woken up to find Skoll gone without a word. His heart had sunk as he searched for his brother, but there was no trace of him. His confusion soon turned to hurt and betrayal. Had Skoll abandoned him, breaking their promise to stay together? Why would he leave so abruptly? These thoughts haunted him as he continued to search for Skoll, not knowing where to start or where to go. Despite his dwindling strength, he refused to give up on his search. He wandered through forests and mountains but the only answer he received was silence. From the soils of his destroyed home and from the Wood Mother herself. It was when Hati was at his weakest, his hope all but gone, that the Garlean Empire caught up with him. They overpowered him, his years of training as a wood warder no match for their advanced weapons and machineries. He was captured and thrown into a dark, damp cell in the Resonatorium at Ala Mhigo.

FENRIR AND ANGBRODA'S FATE

The wind howled through the trees as Fenrir, the wood warder, stood watch over the forest he called home. He was a man of few words, preferring the company of the trees and animals to that of his fellow Viera. But when the Garleans came to invade Dalmasca, he knew that he had to take action. Fenrir fought with all his might to protect the forest from the invaders, wielding his axe with deadly accuracy. But when he saw his beloved wife Angrboda fall in battle, something inside him snapped. The overwhelming amount of aether that filled the air triggered his Mist Frenzy, and he transformed into the legendary wolf of the forest. The once-proud wood warder was now a bloodthirsty beast, tearing through the Garlean ranks with abandon. His fur and mouth were stained with the blood of his enemies, and he could no longer tell friend from foe. The guilt of his actions weighed heavily on his heart, but he could not stop himself. Eventually, Fenrir fled from his home, unable to face the man he used to be. He made his way to Coerthas, where the icy landscape of Snowcloak became his new domain. But even there, he could not escape his past. When the Warrior of Light arrived in Snowcloak, Fenrir knew that his time had come. He fought with all his remaining strength, but in the end, he was defeated. As he lay dying, he knew that he had finally found peace. His rage and guilt were gone, and he was free to be reunited with his beloved Angrboda once more.

SKOLL'S DESCEND TO MADNESS

Skoll was a man once, but now he was a beast. He had fled his home in Dalmasca with his brother Hati, seeking safety from the chaos that had engulfed their land, only to separate himself from his twin by the Wood Mother's instruction. He had thought that the Isle of Val would be a place of refuge, a haven from the war and destruction that had ravaged their homeland. But he was wrong. The Isle of Val was thought to have been destroyed years ago, but Skoll had found it still standing, a testament to its enduring power. At first, it had been a place of safety for him. But the aether on the island was vast and potent, and Skoll found himself drawn to it like a moth to a flame. The aether consumed him, body and soul. Skoll became something other than Viera, a beast with a hunger that knew no end. He was a wolf, savage and wild, existing only to destroy. His fur was matted and dirty, and his eyes burned with a feral light. He prowled the island, hunting for anything that moved, tearing apart animals and plants with equal ferocity. Skoll's hunger was insatiable. He devoured everything in his path, consuming more of the aether that fueled his transformation. But the more he consumed, the more he changed. His body became larger, his muscles bulging with power. His teeth grew longer and sharper, and his claws turned into deadly weapons. In time, Skoll lost all trace of himself. He was a beast, pure and simple, with no thought or reason beyond his endless hunger. He howled at the skies, the sound echoing across Eureka Pyros, a mournful cry that spoke of his lost humanity. Skoll was doomed, a victim of his own insatiable appetite. He would prowl the Isle of Val until the end of his days, a wild and savage creature, forever trapped in a state of primal hunger.

CHARON'S CREATION

Hati's heart was heavy with the knowledge that he was separated from his only remaining kin, his twin brother Skoll. The two had always been inseparable, two halves of a whole, and now the Wood Mother had decreed that they must live their lives apart. Hati's grief was overwhelming, and it threatened to consume him entirely. The Wood Mother, in her infinite kindness, knew that such sorrow would be the death of him if allowed to continue. And so, she called upon her powers and sealed Hati's anguish into the form of a jet-black crow. Unbeknownst to Hati, this crow was no ordinary bird. It was a phantom, crafted from the very essence of his sorrow, tasked with accompanying him on all his travels. The bird's name was Charon, and it would serve as Hati's companion, guiding him through the trials ahead. For the first time in his life, Hati was alone. He wandered through the woods, seeking his brother, fueled by feelings of rage and betrayal. Skoll, in turn, feared for their togetherness, certain that it would be the death of them both. And so the two brothers were locked in a never-ending dance, Hati chasing after Skoll, and Skoll running as fast as he could to escape his brother's clutches. Through it all, Charon remained by Hati's side, a constant reminder of the grief he had left behind and the strength he had gained. For years they lived like this, Hati endlessly seeking Skoll, and Skoll endlessly running. And yet, through it all, the brothers remained alive, even as the world around them changed.

MOVING TO ZADNOR

The warg, a creature of fearsome strength and cunning, had been taken from the Resonatorium at Ala Mhigo and brought to the research facility at Zadnor wherein he became the new fascination of the IVth Legion's Centurion. Under the direct orders of Fabineau quo Soranus, he was subjected to a series of inhumane experiments, designed to break his will and turn him into a tool of war for the Garlean Empire. His captors cared not for his intelligence, his loyalty, or his soul. To them, he was naught more than a beast to be tamed and controlled, a creature of the wild that could be turned into a weapon of destruction. And so, they forced him to shift into his wolf form, believing that beasts were easier to tame than man. They subjected him to painful procedures, injecting him with strange serums and subjecting him to harsh conditions, all in the name of "science". But Hati refused to be broken. He fought against his captors with all his might, using his cunning and strength to resist their attempts to control him. But they were relentless, and they knew that they needed to push him to his limits if they were to succeed. As such, they made him consume an abundant amount of aether, the life force that flowed through all living things. They wanted to trigger his Mist Frenzy, a state of Vieran mindless rage that would make him easier to control. He resisted at first, but the aether began to flow through his body, ushering deep within his primal instincts. He felt his muscles grow taut, his senses sharpen, and his mind clouded with a red mist of rage. In that moment, he had lost control. His body moved on its own, tearing through the walls of his prison and unleashing his fury on aught that stood in his way. They watched in awe and horror as he rampaged through the research facility, tearing through walls and machines with his powerful jaws and claws. They had created a monster to fulfill their whims, but it was not without any sort of precaution. They knew well how to force him back to his usual self before he could even sink his fangs on their necks.

ENCOUNTER WITH THE WARRIOR OF LIGHT

The wolf of monstrous size descended on the dusty ground, its massive paws leaving icy ruins in its wake. With every step, it seemed to grow in size and ferocity, commanding terror and striking fear into the hearts of all who laid eyes upon it. Its maws opened wide, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth that promised death to anyone who dared to cross its path. This was no wolf of legend, but a creature of malevolence, summoned to do the bidding of its master. That master was none other than Fabineau quo Soranus, a powerful mage who had long ago forsaken humanity in favor of results. He had summoned this beast, known as Hrodvitnir, to aid him in his quest to destroy the Bozjan Resistance, a group of rebels who had dared to defy the Garlean rule. And so, Hrodvitnir set out on his mission of destruction, his massive form looming over the battlefield like a dark cloud of death. His jaws snapped and snarled, tearing through flesh and bone with ease as he laid waste to all who stood in his way with his icy fury. Hrodvitnir was a force of nature, a creature of pure violence and malevolence that had been unleashed upon the Star by a madman. And yet, even as he ravaged the land, there was a sense of tragedy about him. Hrodvitnir was not born to be a killer, but had been twisted and corrupted by his captors. He was a victim as much as a perpetrator, a creature of darkness that had been unleashed upon them by the greed and ambition of man. And so, as Hrodvitnir continued his rampage, tearing through the Bozjan Resistance with his unstoppable fury, there was a sense of sorrow that hung over the battlefield. This was not a creature to be celebrated, but to be mourned, hesitation evident in his every move.

LIBERATION AND DEFEAT

The wolf Hrodvitnir had suffered a brutal defeat, his once-mighty form now reduced to a broken, battered husk. He lay on the ground, gasping for breath, his lack of strength slowly turning him back to the man he had once been. As he struggled to his knees, he saw the figure of the Warrior of Light standing before him, the one who had liberated him from his suffering. The wolf had been part of the IVth Imperial Legion, albeit against his will, driven to berserk fury by their experiments, and had attacked innocent people. His mission was to kill them all. The Viera named Hati looked up at the Warrior of Light, his eyes filled with fear and confusion. He had never wanted any part in this violence, but he had been driven to madness and commanded to do things that betrayed his ideals. And now, as he looked upon the person who had come to kill him, he expected naught but death. Instead, he was met with either pity and understanding, knowing that he had been a victim as much as those who had been hurt by his chaotic self. He was offered something that he had never expected: freedom. The warg did not know what to do with this. He had been a wolf for so long that he had forgotten how to be himself.

THE PRESENT

His future was hanging in the balance. He had two paths before him, each one leading to a very different destiny. On one hand, there was the Bozjan Resistance, a group of rebels fighting to reclaim the lands that had been brought to ruin by the Garlean Empire. They sought to rebuild their homes, to restore their way of life, and to bring justice to those who had been wronged. On the other hand, there was the Warrior of Light, a champion of justice and defender of the innocent. They fought for the greater good, battling against evil wheresover it may be found, and their cause was a noble one. Hati had to choose which path to follow, and each one presented its own set of challenges and rewards. If he joined the Bozjan Resistance, he would be fighting for his people, for his home, and for a better future. But the road ahead would be long and difficult, and victory was far from assured. If he joined the Warrior of Light, he would be part of a larger cause, fighting for the good of all, and his actions would have a greater impact on the realm at large. But he would be leaving his own people behind, and he would be fighting a battle that was not his own.

Destiel Love Confession Fic Recs

Who doesn't love a dramatic romantic confession? Here are some of my favourite Destiel fics featuring them.

we'll find a new home by sleepyvan (7.8k)

After Cas comes home, Dean starts cooking like crazy. He thinks he might be compensating for something.

surely heaven wants for you by cenotaphy (3.7k)

Cas doesn't come to him.

Dean can't really argue with that, given the circumstances. In all the history of balls in courts, he thinks there might never have been a ball as thoroughly in a court as this one is in his.

He drives for what feels like a long time but might just be a single sunny afternoon, or maybe years (time's funny here, Bobby had said), just enjoying the music, the shifting landscape outside his window, the hum and creak of the engine.

Finally the forest opens up and the road narrows down in a way that he's fairly certain wouldn't typically happen on any kind of earthly interstate, and he glides the car to a halt at the edge of a lake.

Carry On by Castielslostwings (8k)

“I think I’ll go for a drive.”

This is what happened between that moment, and Dean meeting Sam on that bridge.

Occursus by PallasPerilous (4.3k)

“The natural environment of the human soul is a human body,” Cas says. “Humans have yet to meet a foreign substrate that they don’t immediately attempt to colonize. My form in Hell was not an exception.” Then he shuts his mouth very deliberately and gestures back to Dean like his mic is going live in three, two.

“Or the bit where my soul gave you some kind of STD?” Dean finishes.

“It was a poor analogy. I apologize.”

“So what’s a better one?”

Castiel drums his fingers for a second. “It’s more like…the way a parasitic jewel wasp injects a cockroach with venom, and transforms it into a willing host for wasp larvae.”

“Holy shit are you ever bad at this,” Dean says, with that signature brand of fond horror he special-orders just for Castiel, Angel of the Gourd.

Falling Home by sunshinewinchesters (15k)

The angels have fallen and all Dean knows is that he needs to find Castiel, blizzard and feelings be damned.

Keep Your Love Alive by dothraki_shieldmaiden and FriendofCarlotta (42k)

Dean gets to spend eternity sharing beers with Bobby on the Roadhouse porch and riding around in his Baby with Sam. He’s at peace… or he feels like he should be. But a few things nag at him: Where is Cas, and everybody else Dean had been hoping to see in Heaven? Why does he feel like he’s stuck in a loop, reliving the same memories over and over again? And who are the strangers wearing Sam’s and Bobby’s faces?

The Wings Of Time by RogueTranslator (116k)

A few weeks after rescuing Dean from Hell, Castiel begins to pay him nocturnal visits in hopes of curing his nightmares. Mixing the hunter's memories and his own experiences, he constructs sanctuaries in Dean's mind: a greasy spoon in New Mexico, a ski lodge in Colorado, a moonlit beach in Hawaii. Here, far from the impending apocalypse, the angel and the Righteous Man get to know each other in a world all their own.

As the rising of Lucifer grows closer, so do Dean and Castiel. Torn between his feelings for Dean and his fear of hurting him irrevocably, Castiel makes a fateful decision.

For over a decade, Castiel keeps this decision a secret. Then, The Empty comes for him.

You are my home by Desirae (4.7k)

Things have settled down since rescuing Sam. Mary is bonding with her sons, and Castiel is nearly back to full capacity, just needing a little sleep here and there. When Dean discovers Cas' unusual resting spot, what starts as a series confessions leads to the emotional healing they both needed.

Sleep Without You by turningthepages (60k)

Maybe he didn't need to wrap his arms around Cas at night. And maybe their legs didn't need to be so tangled. But Cas had read somewhere that being that close could synchronize their heartbeats and make them calmer at night and therefore it would help them sleep better. It was for scientific reasons that they were a heaped pile of grabby octopus legs and blankets every night.

Dean and Cas have been best friends since they were six. They're now twenty and in college and sharing a bed nearly every night. Yet, they still deny that they are together. Everyone around them knows Dean and Cas are in love with each other, they are just waiting for the two to figure it out for themselves.

The Care and Feeding of Castiel by MalMuses (24k)

Dean’s quiet time in the bunker is interrupted by some stranger-than-usual behavior from his angel.

Oh, and feathers...there are a lot of those, too.

There's some of my favourite love confession fics! I hope you enjoy them, and I have so many more that I could make a part 2 if you're interested. If there are any fics you think belong here or lists you'd like me to make in the future, let me know! And, as always, thank you so much to all the writers who shared these stories with us <3

#destiel #supernatural #spn #lina lore #fic recs #love confessions #dean winchester #castiel #lmk if this is too hard to read or too long #i thought it'd be easier to just put the fic summary but lmk if you prefer my personal summaries!

The thing is, Dean thinks, Cas is wrong about him.

Dean is a blunt instrument. He's the hammer he once accused Cas of being, the gun leveled at the poltergeist in the dark, the jawbone-blade cleaving tissue from bone. He's the sword swung on marionette strings by the archangel. He's the best pupil Alastair's ever had.

Cas is moving closer, speaking softly: gentle, lovely words that cut through the rhythmic clanging of Billie's fist against the warding. And all Dean can think is that he's so, so wrong.

Fix-it/alternate ending for 15.18 "Despair".

Not to beat a dead horse about it but cenotaphy is one of my all time favourite writers.

They have a brilliant 25k post canon fic that is my favourite I have read (as well as several other amazing ones), a destiel fic post Dean missing after being kidnapped by vampies, and a 48k series post s11 finale (note tag for torture).

Some of their (many, this is inconclusive) wonderful oneshots include one about what team free will has nightmares about, 11x04 coda (Dean/Cas interaction), human Cas sea witch hunt, 12x02 coda (Cas and staying at the bunker), and 12x04 (regarding Sam and Magda).

They also have many more wonderful fics, often preslash with heavy focus on angst (as well as gen and destiel), and I love their writing style and how well they both wrap metaphor and perspective intensity as well as writing all character very well!

By Lamplight by cenotaphy

Wordcount: 31,814

Rating: T

Summary: Dean goes missing on a routine hunt. After six months of fruitless searching, Castiel is clearing out a nest of vampires when he feels the touch of a soul he knows well. The Dean he finds there is battered, barely intact, but Castiel isn't about to let him go. Not without a fight. They're far from home and Sam isn't picking up the phone, but Castiel will do whatever it takes to put Dean Winchester back together, piece by piece.

What a goddamn gift this fic is. I’ll be the first to admit I’ve been in a terrible reading slump lately, with a very limited attention span, but this one captivated me from the first paragraph and I read through the whole thing in one sitting. The writing is so assured and the pacing is so perfect, only adding to the breathless tension of the story.

It isn’t, however, an easy read (please heed the tags.) Dean is not in a good place for pretty much the entire story, and it is at times difficult to read-- but it feels incredibly true both to what he’s been through and to his character. This is a story of recovery, which is almost never an easy road. Fortunately, Dean isn’t alone on this journey-- he has Cas with him every step of the way, and the way Cas responds to the situation will also tug at your heartstrings, his determination and devotion and occasional frustration. The hurt/comfort levels are off the charts, and it’s lovely to see Castiel step into the role of protector here. There are very few other characters in the fic, so the bond between Dean and Cas really has space to shine. It’s the rare sort of story that does an excellent job with the characters both as individuals and together, with understanding and compassion for both of them. Though the outside plot is much less important than their interior journeys, the two converge perfectly in a startling, satisfying conclusion. If you’re looking for an emotionally devastating thrill ride of a story, I cannot recommend this one highly enough.

Dean and Sam hunting together: well that’s the show isn’t it? saving people hunting things etc etc. brotherly moments that make you either go awww or want to throw them off a cliff. practically reading each other’s minds on hunts bc they’ve been doing it for so long. terrible communication any other time

Dean and Cas hunting together: hunter husbands. standing 1.5 inches away from each other at all times. constant bickering constant eye sex constant rifling through each other’s pockets oh god they’re so fucking married

Sam and Eileen hunting together: extremely sweet together. heart eyes while discussing lore and/or tactics. pretending not to be worried about each other because they each really want to respect the other person’s independence and hunting skills.

Cas and Eileen hunting together: murder besties. taking turns beating the shit out of villains while the other person nods approvingly. roasting their boyfriends during stakeouts. mutual agreement not to tell dean and sam how many people they’ve blackmailed.

Dean and Eileen hunting together: sky-high levels of competence. kicking ass left right and center. off-the-charts wittiness. spn would only be 1 season long if it was about these two because they would immediately solve every apocalypse in the most practical way possible and then spend the rest of the season getting drunk together at dive bars.

Sam and Cas hunting together: terrible, terrible idea. the case may get solved but fifty new problems will be created. maximum chaos minimum planning. all ancient curses and alternate dimensions are fair game. cosmic regime changes ARE on the table. 90% chance that one of them ends up in a coma.

1.6k. on easter morning, cas tells dean he had a crush on jesus. very funny and very sweet and very domestic. featuring some jesus/dean comparisons!

Meant to Be Near Me by Sass_Master

1.9k proposal/marriage fic. sweet and wildly in-character. this is a fic i read sometimes when i’m bummed out because it always makes me smile.

absolvere by microcomets

2k that takes place after the attack dog spell and dean’s refusal to be healed in 11x03. so tender and so wonderfully written. yes perhaps i did tear up at the image of cas washing dean’s feet. don’t worry you will too.

walking on a string by swordfishtrombones

2.7k set during season 6. cas goes to see dean to help with a hunt in the midst of the civil war. they’re in a kinda sorta relationship and it’s soooooooo interesting. i’ve decided the author is a certified cas-understander because this is his pov and i think they totally nail it. beautifully written and absolutely worth the read.

Scenes with a Shark (Or: Hello, Blåhaj) by aeli_kindara

3.3k established relationship fic. dean and cas have an stuffed shark and visit ikea! super cute and offers up an alternate look at the way cas might handle the empty deal. if you can’t tell i love an established relationship fic, and this is a great one.

Ain’t Ever Gonna Part by ellispark

MIXTAPE FIC!!! 4k retrospective looking at previous people dean’s loved with sprinkling of moments from season 12 and 13. great dean character study with such a perfect final scene.

Things that were, things that are by dreamline

6.8k. very dean-centric. sam finds out that dean engaged in sex work when they were both children, which brings up a lot of old trauma for them both. it’s a super heavy topic and the author handles it with respect and no exploitation or glorification. the dean and sam conversation is amazing and the scene with dean and cas at the end is so tender. dean studies fic for sure.

Deprived of Every Planet by KelpietheThundergod

9k words. a case fic that features extremely touch-starved dean and cas being very gentle with him. such an intimate look at their relationship, all cozy and a little sad and very very sweet.

all my goodness is gone with you now [15x09 coda] by emmbrancsxx0

fics that make you a shell of your former self. like i’m going to be honest i had to go sit outside in the sunshine after reading this because it absolutely DEVASTATED me. it’s 9.9k of the universe we see in 15x09 the trap in which cas has the mark of cain. featuring incredible character work and dialogue that was so painfully in-character. you will probably cry but it will definitely be worth it.

The Art of Giving by cenotaphy

i truly love a fic in which dean is a bit of an asshole because he has no idea how to be in a relationship--this 9.9k story definitely fits within that category. you’re going to be frustrated with him, but you’re also going to love all of the interactions with him and cas because they are super well-written and in-character. and don’t worry, it has a very sweet ending!

Good Hands by aileenrose

13.2k. first of all, i highly recommend everything by this author--they write my favorite aus EVER. this specifically is one of my favorites. cas owns a b&b and dean is a drifter/handyman who stops in and ends up staying to help make repairs. the atmosphere is so good, and the story is trope-y in the best way.

We Both Kinda Liked It by elizajane

one of my new all-time faves. 13.5k that dives into rhonda hurley and dean’s thing for panties with a lot of cas being lovely and supportive. there’s a lot of ideas out there about who rhonda was and how dean knew her and the version of her in this fic is now my personal headcanon. if you love dean being loved, then you will adore this fic.

Death Rattles by emmbrancsxx0

i normally don’t read horror fic much but this one is soooo good and honestly frightening. 30.1k established relationship deancas with a side of casefic--especially recommended for my cas fans. you’re going to think you know what’s going on like six times and each time you’ll be wrong. and that ending...hoo boy!

Light in the Dark by nurfherder

110k. this is SUCH a story. i read it kind of slowly over a couple weeks so i don’t know how it feels if you binge it, but i really enjoyed it! it’s an au in which dean inherits the family apple orchard after john dies and cas is a businessman who buys it from him. they work together to make a profit and turn the place around but it is…. SO MUCH more than that. it gets pretty heavy so heed the tags but god it’s a great read. the emotion is so realistic and so well done. highly recommended if you’re looking for something longer.

the fics so far...

ok, remember I'd never read any destiel fanfic before 2021, so I started with no idea of what’s a classic that everyone's read before. and for the purposes of this project, I don’t care if my recs are old or repeats, I'm just gonna say what I like!

later I might focus on some lesser known authors, but today’s recs will just be a bunch of stuff I’ve liked so far.

fics written pre-2020

where the weeds take root by deathbanjo

this is the first one I read that made me decide, ok, I have to read more fanfic.

the cost of a thing by quiettewandering @wanderingcas

The Truth by whelvenwings @whelvenwings

Unknown Quantities by xylodemon

For Lack of a Better Word by pantheon_of_discord On Drowning by domesticadventures @domesticadventures

a classic for a reason

The Path of Fireflies by museaway

this was a little bit suspenseful! not in a car chase way, but in an “I can’t wait to find out what’s really going on here!” way. Heroes for Ghosts by pantheon_of_discord

A Room Of One's Own by NorthernSparrow @northern-sparrow

okay. okay. okay. I have read this twice. the first time, I read the entire thing in one go, staying up until 2:30am to finish it. it’s cringey and a little gross and very funny and cringey some more and then halfway through I was like wait, why am I crying?

the second time I laughed and cringed and laughed and cringed some more and then I was like wait, why am I crying? Breathe For Me by sobsicles @sobsicles

I will read everything sobs writes until the end of time. in this one, cas gets in the ma’lak box with Dean and they talk.

Sewn With Silk by SaltyWords (agent4hire22) @winchester-reload Nightmare by Bookkbaby @bookkbaby

this deals with the dubious consent situation that was Cas and April the reaper in 9x03, and I found it cathartic for that reason. we don’t talk often enough about how truly fucked up that interaction was, and how fucked up that it was partly played for laughs. poor cas.

Let Us by K_K_TiBal, whelvenwings it’s crack but I couldn’t stop laughing!

And This, Your Living Kiss by opal_bullets @asecretvice

OPAL BULLETS WHO ARE YOU

I read this one in one sitting also.

Bring Home by cenotaphy

Carry on the wayward son, the way that lovers do by chaoticdean @chaoticdean

Theirs by jujubiest @darkshrimpemotions

things happen (they do, they do, and they do) by sobsicles

an absurd premise in sobs’ capable hands turns into gold.

There's a science to walking through windows by palindromicpal

about Gas n’ Sip Steve, but from the POV of one of his coworkers

like today by gi09 @dcforts

“They can stop along the way, like they sometimes do. He will get a hot bagel and Cas will down half his coffee, and they will stand right outside the store, where they can’t get wet but they can breathe and hear the rain. And Cas will say – well, Dean can never anticipate what Cas is going to say, but that’s the good part.”
