Foundling by @bleuzombie
This is my art post for the Dadstiel Minibang! I was paired with @bleuzombie who wrote a wonderful story about fae creature Cas raising Jack, full of sweet moments and overcoming the fear of being other.
This is the banner I came up with, I wanted to lean into the sort of children's book style that sort of emerged when I was playing with the colours on my art piece. I actually spent a stupid amount of time trying to get the names to look right hand lettered but eventually I gave up and just used a text box. I was deeply regretting picking such a long url. Bleu's name fit perfectly but mine always ended up looking like cramped mess.
And here is the piece itself! I was so excited to be able to design a monstery looking Cas and I'm hoping I did it justice. I had a lot of sketches that I played around with before I settled on a concept. This scene is from the beginning of the fic, when Cas finds Jack abandoned outside his cave and decides to keep him.
And some close ups:
I got experimental with the lighting and colours in a way I don't normally, but I felt satisfied with the result. I'm especially proud of baby Jack because I don't usually draw babies and I was sure he was gonna come out looking weird. I looked up so many reference images of tiny hands and feet.
Now that you've listened to me ramble about my contribution, go check out the fic and send the author some love!
Thanks to @dadstielminibang for making this event happen it was a great experience!

The Law of Entanglement
Author: AngelEyz4ever
Artist: Anyrei (@anyreiart)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Featured characters: Castiel, Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester, Jack Kline
Featured relationships: Castiel/Dean Winchester
Length: 56,173 words
Tags: Post-Canon Fix-It, Canon-Typical Violence, Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms, Implied/Referenced Suicide, Finale What Finale, Soul Bond, dadstiel
Summary:
Sam believes the Profound Bond between Dean and Cas is the same as The Law of Entanglement.
Therefore, he believes, when the two particles, his brother’s soul and Castiel’s grace, became entangled, they remained joined even when separated by vast distances. If he’s right, even with Cas gone, the bond is still connecting them, and it’s slowly killing Dean.
Unbeknownst to Sam, others believe it as well.
Now, with everything on the line, the bond will be put to the test in ways universal laws have never considered. Will their Profound bond hold or will the fates win in the end.

Hey, darlings! it’s me again, Anz.
I'm starting another round of gifsets commissions (you remember I make cool gifs, right? ) to try to raise some money for my mom’s 💗 health. It’s nothing too serious yet, more like a preventive measures, but it’s very important. And since it’s kinda hard now to find a spare money (yeah, the war is still here... 🇺🇦) I'm kindly asking for your support!
All is the same - you make a request into my askbox and donate any amount of money (literally ANY, every cent counts ✊!) to my PayPal account
[email protected]. I'm making everything SPN (except for the 15.20, sorry!) and... you know... any other shows or movie as well, I guess? 😉
once again thank you so much for everything!
❤️❤️❤️

The Common Hours
[a dean/cas story]
Chapter 9
“I mean, you were just this—beam of light . It was insane. Nothing, nothing, and then—boom!” Sam twists in his seat to grin at Castiel. “How do you feel? I mean, it’s amazing, right?”
The Impala bumps and rocks as it peels down the highway through the care of Dean’s white-knuckled grip on the steering wheel. Green eyes flicker in the rearview mirror at Castiel, then quickly away.
“And your memories,” Sam plunges on, oblivious to or ignoring the tension steeping in the driver’s seat, “do you have them all? Do you remember everything now?”
The oxygen seems to suck out of the Impala, suddenly. Even the road smooths out. Almost like everything is on a spinning top’s axis, spinning, poised to fall.
“No,” Castiel says. It’s the first thing he’s said since he landed back on the ground. Dean’s eyes are on him again, street lights reflecting his irises as they grate into Castiel’s skin.
Castiel wants to rip the rearview mirror off its hinge.

Destiel Fic Recs
Time for another installment of River reads too much! Get your freshly minted fic recs.
Camp chitaqua by teen_dean @urne-buriall (Teen, 38k)
This fic is pure cuteness and joy, with some soft pining. Dean is ramping up for another year of summer camp. A mixture of training and fun for hunter kids, Dean pours himself into supporting kids going through traumas like the ones he survived. But the introduction of a mysterious and seriously hot new counselor (and his adorable son) throws Dean a curveball.
This one has some great "Dean with kids" vibes and some great Dadstiel. It had me smiling and outright laughing at times. Plus we love a messy disaster Dean in this house.
Bitch Better Have my Money (Series), by duckyboos @duckyboos-blog (5 works, Explicit, 254k words, another installment may be coming)
Okay I am late to the party on these, so a lot if people have gotten to meet the mobster murder husbands, but I have to recommend this series anyway (with the caveat to mind the tags because things do get gory).
Dean and Cas are such reluctantly horny for each other disasters in this fic and I basically devoured the entire thing in an embarrassingly bloodthirsty manner. The fic is loosely a Bad Girls AU where Dean, Sam and Charlie accidentally steal from Cas (a seriously bad crime boss), but neither seems to be able to resist the pull of the other. Dean finds himself being pulled into Cas' world and what he finds there opens up entirely new possibilities.
Take the long way home by dothraki_shieldmaiden @dothwrites (Explicit, 95k)
If you want a soft, healing fic that will in turn destroy you and leave you with a soft peace, this is the fic for you.
Dean has retired and is restoring an old house, hoping that someday it will be a home. Cas is newly human and on the road, trying to prove to himself he's worthy. Sam and Jack are off on a road trip. In other words, things are fractured. But with quiet determination, maybe they can restore more than the house.
Oh this one hurts so good. I, unfortunately, downloaded it for a plane and had to pretend to be normal in public while Doth broke me apart and put me back together. But the story is so good and the landing is smooth.
Lazy ass rising by Fellshish @fellshish (Teen, 7.5 k)
Fells continues to perfect the art of making you laugh your ass off only to slip in a line so devastating and vulnerable, you feel your entire chest crack.
Cas is back. Kind of. He needs a vessel to shack up in while Jack rebuilds his and Dean is willing to oblige. More than willing. Maybe a little too willing but there's no time to unpack that.
Little does Dean know that Cas has nefarious plans to pamper Dean and feed him vegetables and make him nap. The horror!
It's about the time and space to be and the caretaker finally learning to accept tenderness and care himself. It's soft and sweet and hilarious all at once.
The Angel of Emetgis V by KaylieMalinza @kayliemalinza (T, 28k)
It's so many of my favorite things. Angel lore, science fiction, trueform!Cas and smart and competent Dean. This fic is so incredibly entertaining and the worldbuilding is amazing.
After making a deal to save his brother, Dean is stationed on the Emetgis V, a broken down space station and vestige of a great migration of humans from the failing Earth. Years ago, it's said angels appeared and saved humanity by powering ships that took them to safety. But that's the thing of myth and legend. That is until Dean is doing routine maintenance outside the ship and he fines a glowing sentient orb of light.
PS, yes I did a list of trueform fics and neglected to mention this one yesterday. Nonny, come read this one!
More Than Kisses by FriendofCarlotta @friendofcarlotta (Explicit, 29k)
I'm admittedly a sucker for an epistolary romance, and this one hits just right. In an attempt to avoid repeating 11th grade, Dean agrees to join a pen pal extracurricular program. Things get off to a rocky start, but Dean and his pen pal, Cas, soon find themselves confiding in one another. Over the years, they become a constant in each other’s lives. But the status quo is threatened when Cas gets a new opportunity.
This fic is all about the emotional intimacy. Dean and Cas are both so lonely at times and the way they connect in letters is beautiful to watch. There’s a vulnerability but also a safety to writing letters and FriendofCarlotta really digs into that. There's something soft about this fic that makes it a comfort read.
Huckleberry by valleydean (emmbrancsxx0) @valleydean (General Audiences, 14k words(
You know how sometimes you read something that is so clearly a love letter to the subject matter that you kinda just want to bask in it? Yeah, that's this fic. Resident fandom cowboy enthusiast ValleyDean explores what would happen if Dean and Cas were sent to Tombstone and Cas had to use Doc Holliday as a vessel.
There are layers of pining as Dean and Cas compete with Doc and Wyatt for biggest dumbasses (affectionate). It's funny, entertaining and surprisingly poignant with some lines that will make you want to stare at the ceiling when you should be sleeping.
You're My Dream Come True by Redamber79 (Explicit, 29k)
If you are looking for some fluffy, filthy smut with a side if heart melting friends to lovers sweetness, this is the fic for you. Dean and Cas are roommates and have been dancing around their mutual attraction for years because they are both idiots (affectionate). But when Cas shares a silly meme, he accidentally catapults them into new territory.
This one is very smutty so mind the tags, but it's their established feelings that set it apart. This Dean and Cas are just so far gone for each other and cocooned it the sweetest (yet dirtiest) little bubble. It's a true delight.
Research Methods by TatteredBurningWings (angelshotgun) (Explicit, 8k words)
A smutty and hilarious romp in which Dean comes up with increasingly ridiculous reasons to hook up with Cas. This one is a whole lot of fun, particularly as Dean’s excuses for totally platonic bro sex with his bro Cas get more outlandish.
Basically, if you love a good the rituals are intricate fic, this is definitely what you are looking for.
