Howdy, folks!

What do y'all think about me / this mini bang hosting an Ace-themed SPN creation challenge sometime this spring while waiting for sign ups for the next round of the MB to open?

I'm thinking it'd be a week or two in length, low key content and participation requirements, open to any and all corners of the SPN fandom the same as the MB is, and I'd share out all creations on this blog and my personal.

If you think you would contribute to something like that, could you hit like and/or reblog?

Cheers!

Sunny

A Long Time Coming

Author: @karategirl80

Artist: @ncdover1285

Summary:

One day when Dean comes to pick Sam up from school, Sam shows him something he didn’t think would happen–Sam can call blue flame-one of the first indications of being a mage. Dean had figured with his non magical father, and his lack of magical ability, that neither of the boys had picked up any of their long dead mother’s skills. Follow Sam and Dean as they discover the heritage they’ve been denied and make their way in their new world.

Somethings that Dean says really bother Jack, but he doesn’t know why. When he notices one of the hunters in bunker acting the same way he feels, he decides to ask her about it.

Or… the one where Jack isn’t sure if he thinks like this because he’s still biologically young or if there is more to it.

Dare to Defy (The Laws of Gravity), created for the @acespnminibang

Author: Why_Do_You_Want_To_Know || Artist: Nickelkeep

Cas and Dean have been best friends since they first met, when Cas turned up at the circus with a dream to join them. Dean also just so happened to have had a crush on the other boy for just as long, not that he’d ever admit it.

He’s happy with how things are, performing with Baby and watching Cas fly through the big top. Sometimes he thinks about how amazing a future with Cas could be, but it really isn’t worth risking everything they have, not when Cas doesn’t even like him back.

Then Cas starts acting weird. It’s just small things at first, but before Dean knows it his best friend is hardly ever around, never smiling, and worst of all, taking unnecessary risks for no apparent reason.

Dean knows he needs to talk to Cas, but what can he do when he refuses to tell Dean what’s wrong?

All I See Is Blue

created for the 2021 @acespnminibang

Author: everydayistuesday | Artist: dmsilvis

Castiel spends their days at Busy Bee Coffee, their coffee shop-turned-laundromat. Despite their rusty social skills, they enjoy working the counter, getting to know their customers.

And then Dean Winchester walks in. He’s a small business owner, too, with a contagious smile, and something that sets him apart from the rest of their customers.

So Castiel has a bit of a crush. And no, they’re not going to write their number on Dean’s cup, no matter how much Meg wants to be at the wedding.

Chasing Cars

Author: s_a_b_i_n_e | Artist: @ncdover1285

Dean hates the midnight shift, but what can he do? His relationship with Lisa didn't work out, and he couldn’t bear working with her anymore. He's running on coffee and four hours of sleep tops. He's so done with relationships. Nothing good ever comes out of it.

Castiel would agree. He is freshly on the wagon and off the street, where he lived after his personal and professional life fell apart. Working at the Gas-N-Sip may not be on his past level, but he is determined to make the best of it.

None of them expects to fall in love with their new colleague, who is more similar to them than they think.

Rating: Mature

Love of My Life

Love of My Life

Author: Speed | Artist: Felizias

It’s been two years since Dean has seen this town, this house, and the Dom that lives here. It’s been two years since he ran away, scared of the commitment gently offered, of the possibility of a life outside of the one he knows.

It’s been two years, and in that span of time, Dean’s lost his brother, lost his father, and lost himself. He’s a Submissive who’s afraid of his own biology, and the only time he’s ever felt safe around a Dom is when he spent a few short, precious days with the very man who lives here.

It’s been two years, and Dean is back. Now he can only pray that he’ll be forgiven.

The “Date Me” App

Author: Cozaure | Artist: Slytherkins 

Written for the @acespnminibang​ 2021 Summary : When Dean discovers that newly human Cas has a profile on a dating app, he panics and begins to wonder why Cas, who never seemed to show the slightest interest in romance and sex when he was an angel, is suddenly looking for a partner. As for Cas, he is just completely confused since his new humanity comes with new and unfamiliar feelings. Maybe if the two men tried to communicate instead of running away from each other, they could clear the air and help Cas understand his sexuality… Pairings, warnings, etc. Basically a very brief list of things you think the reader should know about before jumping in.

Additional things : Rating T, Castiel/Dean Winchester, Canon Divergent from Season 9, Human Cas, Asexual Cas, mentions of Dean/original male character and of Castiel/original male character, discussions about asexuality  Link to fic Link to art

[Image ID: ink and watercolour of two right hands reaching for each other. The hand in the upper left quadrant has compound eyes running down the fingers, in the asexual pride colours. It also has a large blue eye on the back and a black ring on its middle finger. The sleeve of a beige trench coat reaches its wrist. The other hand, in the lower right quadrant, wears a bead bracelet and a metallic watch on its wrist. The background is a black sun, with the aromantic and asexual pride colours radiating outward. “The Un-Absolute Nature of Happiness” is written in white over the background. End ID.]

The Un-Absolute Nature of Happiness

Author: iwouldliketobewriting | Artist: KitShay

Written for the @acespnminibang​ 2021

Summary: When he was leaving a human life, Castiel found a word, one that resonated with him: asexuality. A year later, he found another: aromanticism. He didn’t do anything with either. Now, after Jack took him out of the empty and deposited him back at the bunker to go help the angels stabilize Heaven, Castiel has to face the consequences of his dying words. To make matters worse, Dean misunderstood them, and now he’s avoiding him. That’s alright, though. Castiel is only here to wait for Jack’s return.
