She’s My Whip

Pairing: Sam Winchester x Reader

Word Count: 2250

Warnings: oral (m & f giving/receiving) sex, squirting, cursing, pornish language and other adulting things that make it 18+only

A/N: A-Z Kink Challenge: Younger/Older Written for @covered-byroses #cbrkinkchallange Thank you Ms.Kelly for letting me participate in my first writing challenge

A/N: this is my first work (outside a drabble) I’ve ever let anyone read. I quit writing over a decade ago so I’m rusty as hell but working on getting my mojo back. Creative criticism welcome

A/N II: 3/21/21 I did some rewriting on this piece I love so much, fixing the things that’s nagged at me since original release.

* no beta , all mistakes are mine

*GIF not mine

“...So that’s when I knew I had closed the deal.” The guy next to me at the bar Greg, or Gary, who'd been droning on about this deal for the last twenty minutes looked at me waiting for a response.

“That’s fantastic, congratulations on closing the deal.” You responded enthusiastically, faking it like an orgasm during bad sex.

Sipping on the glass of wine he ordered, trying not to grimace at the taste and wondering for the umpteenth time what is it with men your age? Why did they feel entitled to decide what to order you without asking?

Now in your early forties you prefer men like your alcohol, on the younger side with an adventurous edge.

Tuning out ummm, David as he continues to prattle on about his whatever. He seems like a nice guy, kinda reminds you of that character from Pleseantville, the husband who kept saying where’s my dinner.

“Excuse me, I’m sorry to interrupt your evening, but I need to speak to Ms. Y/L/N.” You both turn to see who is addressing you.

Fuck me, he’s here.

He and his partner, Agent Dean Smith, showed up your workplace this morning about the weird event in HR department. They had every red blooded woman, and a few of the guys, drooling in their lattes.

After your interview with Agent Smith, who’d been flirting with everyone female with a pulse during their interviews, he asked you for drinks and whatever.

It had been extremely tempting, he was ridiculously good looking with those succulent full lips, green eyes, bowed just enough for you to fit perfectly between legs and cinnamon freckles that made you wonder if he’s covered everywhere in them.

You hated to admit it’s been to damn long since any man has giving you such a through fucking, you know, the type that makes your legs shake uncontrollably when you cum and walk funny for days.

You had reluctantly..very reluctantly.. turned him down. The reason being the man standing behind you.

“And who might you be?” Ralph maybe, asks rudely.

Agent Samuel Wesson flashes his FBI credentials at possibly John before turning to addresses you. He’s delicious, literally walking sex with those long, long legs.

“Ms. Y/L/N, could we go somewhere more private? I have some questions that need clarification.” Unable to answer because your brain has migrated to your pussy that’s dripping wet from the sound of his deep, whiskey-honey voice alone.

Crossing your legs you clenched your thighs together trying to cover your down south problem but he tracks your movement with those indelible, fox slanted eyes and smirks.

Shit.

“Look, I don't care if your President...” Steve, IDK, says standing up to get in his face but falls short, literally, by several inches.

Biting on the inside of your cheek to stop bursting out in laughter you take a sip of the horrid wine to compose yourself because there is absolutely no way in hell your going to pass up on the opportunity to make time with this gorgeous mountain of a man who’s literally made you cum without even touching you.

Standing up you insert yourself between them and play with Donny’s tie. “I’m so sorry, we were having such a good time, and I was thinking of asking you back to mine, but I’d feel awful if I know something and didn't help, please don't be mad at me.” You pout a bit, pretending to actually sound sorry, all the while internally cringing at the fucking drivel spewing out of your mouth to mollify whatchamacallit.

If anyone had asked you how you thought this night would have ended, never in a million would you have said that you’d be reclining on the hood of a ‘67 Impala in an empty field splitting a bottle of Knob Creek Whiskey with Samual Wesson, IE Sam Winchester, discussing everything from politics to debating if GOT’s ending was screwed up while stargazing.

Sam takes a long pull off the bottle before handing it back, “Why did you turn Dean down?” He inquires.

“I’ve been around long enough to know a player when I see one,” you take a long pull from the bottle, “and I’ve reached an age where I don’t and won’t be played.” You answer honestly handing the bottle to Sam.

He’s taking a drink when you cheekily add, “Besides, he’s too old for me.”

Coughing from the whiskey going down the wrong way Sam finally croaks out, “To old? He’s three years younger than you.” You raise an eyebrow at that.

“You know how old I am?”

Sam starts peeling off the bottles label, “Yeah, I do. I checked out everyone who had any connection to the victim. I didn’t think you’d be interested, Dean’s well...Dean. Women are always attracted to him but then he said you turned him down and....”

“...you followed me to that bar hoping to get lucky?” It’s hard to see under the moonlight but you know he’s blushing, “I’ll admit it was sorely tempting but I turned Dean down because you're more my type.” Sam looked up in surprise.

You shift towards him reaching for the bottle, “Look, I like younger men, it's my thing and I find I have more in common with them. Nobody thinks twice about some old fart fucking a twenty something, but if an older woman is sexually adventurous, oh my god everyone goes spar! Lots of younger men today prefer being with someone who’s life doesn’t revolve around kids, can hold an intellectual conversation and isn’t looking to put a ring on it.

I came across this British blogger in her fifties dating men in their twenties and they were the ones doing the chasing. She came up with this new term for women like us, W.H.I.P-Women who are Hot, Intelligent and in their Prime. Fucking better than that old, tired, cliche Cougar.”

Sam ruminants over what you said, “So sexually adventurous...ever do it on an Impala?” He asks with a lascivious grin.

”Nuh-uh,“ you answer running your tongue teasingly around the bottles lip before taking a drink.

Sam's eyes dilate as he pulls the bottle away, brushing his lips against yours to taste the whiskey lingering on them.

Opening your mouth you catch his bottom lip, sucking on it as he tangles his hands into your hair, deepening the kiss as you work at opening the buttons of his shirt. Pushing against Sam's chest he sits back a bit so you can remove it before shifting him fully onto his back, allowing you to straddle his narrow hips and making your skirt ride up revealing your cheekster panties

Sam slips his hand between your obscenely spread thighs, roughly palming your clit through the material making you hiss, reaching to pull his hand away before your cumming to fast. He takes hold your ass in both of his big hands grips tightly pulling and pushing, making you roughly glide over his rapidly filling cloth covered cock. He’s keeping you right on edge but not allowing you to cum, the friction from the grinding eliciting moans from both of you. He sits both of you upright suddenly, gripping your shirts hem lifting it off revealing your bare breasts to him.

Sam bends forward taking your left nipple between his lips sucking on it then bits down hard enough you cry out from the pain/pleasure of it. Tangling both your hands in his hair you tug until he switches breasts to give the same treatment to your other nipple. Dragging him off your chest you resume kissing him hard, both of you start fighting for dominance.

Reaching down you unzip his pants, dipping your hand in to caress him. Sam's head drops back with a groan, exposing his neck. Your lips travel down his throat, stopping, sucking a bruise just above his collarbone.

Sliding backwards off the cars hood you finish stripping him until he's lying completely naked, legs wantonly spread out across the hood. You watch him grip his cock stroking himself as you discard the last of your own clothes before climbing back on the car.

“You’re stunning,” Sam breathily says stroking himself harder.

Keeping eye contact you place your hand over his, guiding him down to firmly grip the base of his twitching cock to steady it as you move your hands around on the hood to balance yourself, bending over to flick your tongue along the underside of his shaft up to that specific sensitive area, your tongue teasing the nerves there, making Sam shiver and noisily start panting before slowly sliding up to the slit, lapping at the precum leaking from the tip before wrapping your lips around his cock and start steadily bobbing up and down, taking his ample cock as deep as you can without gagging.

“Oh fuck yesss..feels so good,” Sam moans out as his muscles jerk from the way your tongue is moving over his cock that’s suctioned tight in your mouth.

Pulling off you stroke your hand up and down his long, thick shaft, twisting towards the tip while watching Sam massage his balls.

Sam's head thunks against the windshield as his breaths coming out harsh and broken, hips bucking wildly around from the combined stimulation.

“Fuckingfuck... fuuuu...gonna…’ was all the warning he gives before spilling hot liquid over your fingers and spurting onto the Impalas hood, painting it with white splatters as you continue stroking lightly with your cum covered fingers, easing him through the aftershocks till Sam reaches down pulling you off, to sensitive for anymore touching.

Sitting up Sam cups your cheeks in his big hands staring intently at you with lust blown chameleon eyes. “How the fuck did you do that, I haven’t cum that fast since puberty.”

Instead of saying anything, you insert your cum covered fingers one by one into you mouth, sucking and licking till your hands clean of his spending. He wraps his big hand around your wrist pulling your hand away and deeply kisses you, tasting himself in your mouth.

“Backseat now.” He growls getting off the hood and still holding your wrist gathers the discarded clothes with his other hand before dragging you with him around the car.

Opening the door he urges you to slide across the bench seat until you lying back against the other door legs spread wide to accommodate him as he’s climbing between them, somehow fitting his immense frame in the car.

Sam runs his long, slender fingers along the inside of your thighs, over your hips and stomach, studying every tremble and shiver to his touch moving to lightly stroke between your folds, inserting two fingers into your soaked channel searching for that spot. “Hmmm..” You moan out as Sam finds it.

Somehow he amazingly folds himself up and spreading his fingers to stretch your opening to delve his tongue into your core wanting a taste while continuing to stroke your thighs and hips with his other hand to keep you stimulated.

“Fuuuccckk,” the only warning you can give as you climax.

Sam adjusts the movements of his hand to keep working your swollen g spot, pushing you towards another orgasm.

The car fills with the wet squelching sounds with his fingers moving in and out of your drooling cunt as nonsensical noises come out of your mouth at the same time.

“Uhhh...to much….can’t…” your barley able to pant out pushing on the seat back trying to get some leverage to move away from him.

“Yes you can, cum for me again, I want to see you squirt, ruin the seat.” Sam growls out pinning both of your hands in his left one against the doors window.

You can feel it starting deep inside, begging for release, but your massively overstimulated and your body keeps fighting it.

“Just let go, I know you can,” Sam says in a calm, level voice, stark contrast to his animalistic actions, “let it happen…let go!” Your bodies shaking violently, hips thrusting up off the seat as your orgasm hits so hard you silently scream, your inner muscles spasming your release, flooding over his wrist and hand onto the leather seat below.

He briefly continues the steady movement of his fingers then gently pulls them out as your walls continue clenching around nothing.

Releasing your hands he picks up your discarded skirt wiping your overused pussy tenderly, cleaning you up as much as possible before lifting your hips and placing the old army blanket on the seat and lying down behind you spoons your quivering body till it’s calmed.

“You ok?” He asks softly stroking your arm, soothing you. “Yeah, better than ok,” you drowsily murmur, “what possessed you to recreate the night we meet?”

“Wanted to do something special for our fourth anniversary.” He lovingly replies nuzzling your neck.

“And your birthday,” you feel Sam make a face at being reminded he is now thirty-six. “Why is this one bothering you, they never have before.”

“Its stupid,” he sighs, making you turn your head enough to look at him. “Dean noticed that grey hair and..”

“..gave you shit about it. You could ignore him.”

“Mission impossible, it’s Dean” Sam says, sighing again.

“Hmm, well then there's only one option...Winchester him.” You say looking serious.

Sam smiles at your suggestion. It had been to damn long since he had pranked Dean and payback was way overdue.

“See, with age comes wisdom, grasshopper”

Lucifer 5A Thoughts

Lucifer season 4 was great. It had a nice solid plotline, it had great character development for pretty much everyone, I actually thought the Eve-Lucifer-Chloe triangle was done both purposefully and realistically with reasons why all three of them acted as they did, and just generally felt like a breath of fresh air after the mishmash that was season 3.

I had few complaints - a few but not many.

I was super hopeful about season 5. Guess what I binge-watched this past weekend?

Me:

Cue rant (under cut b/c there are spoilers aplenty and if you liked this season - please keep scrolling)

To be fair: I have only watched season 5 once.

Unfortunately, I have no desire to watch it again.

First of all, the lack of creativity.

Maze betrays Lucifer (again for like the 10000th time)

Michael being a jerkass - I’ll grant them his fear mojo, but could you have reached for any other concept than Lucifer vs. Michael? Or give him something more interesting than an ego-problem to fuel his evilness?

Ella’s boyfriend - look, there’s foreshadowing and there’s eye-rolling, damn it really, this guy is clearly only here to serve a plot point and he’s either going to be the victim or the murderer

Ella deserves a genuine good person and good relationship - WTF did you have to do that to her? There’s no point besides hurting her

It would have been better - and more surprising - if he had been a truly decent person even if the relationship ended up not enduring

And then there’s Chloe...and oh dear...

“Being a gift” consternation

Okay, yes Chloe is allowed to be upset and to be struggling with the divine side of things - in fact, I actually liked how they depicted that in Season 4

But in Season 4, when Chloe’s reactions hurt Lucifer, there’s a clear consequence. It’s part of why he turned to Eve, and there are a couple of excellent moments - the part where he confronts Chloe about neither being an angel like she wants or the devil like Eve wants for instance - that showed Lucifer was coming to understand himself and to stand up for his own sense of self to a degree

This time round, we get a lot from Chloe but little from Lucifer aside from him desperately wanting to be with her and willing to do just about whatever she wants to have that

And unfortunately, whereas by the end of season 4, we definitely get Chloe seeing past the divine bombshells and remembering that she cares about Lucifer for himself - that progress is completely nullified by the “you’re a miracle” bombshell and I didn’t need to see that again

Also - WTF does Amenadiel’s spiel to Chloe about seeing Lucifer truly work on her anxiety over being made for Lucifer? Did I miss something? Chloe’s upset over this seemed to me to be because of a lack of free will - not that she didn’t know who Lucifer was. Why - when free will is such a major deal for Lucifer - was that not discussed? Why did no one - Lucifer for example - come out and say “Humans have free will. Period. You can choose to walk away from me or tell me to go, and I will. I don’t give a damn what my Father did or wants or intends. It’s your choice.”

The “I love you”

I do not get why Chloe doesn’t know if Lucifer loves her. He may have not used the three words but he literally told her the prophecy (his first love) was about her not Eve. Or what about “I would do it again”? Or any of the many actions through which he’s demonstrated that he cares about her, that he values her, that he loves her.

And okay, maybe she needs those three words to be 100%, absolutely sure, okay. Then just ask him. How do you feel about me? What do you want from this relationship? Where is this going? You know, normal adult questions.

I’m not expecting Chloe to do emotional labor for Lucifer but if she needs something from him, she needs to ask him. I think that’s fair.

It also highlights a problem with Chloe’s empathy for Lucifer IMO - it feels like she’s once again so caught up in her emotional turmoil, she’s incapable of even seeing his. This is someone who literally just returned from thousands of years in hell, who has a family had cast him out and treated him like the worst, has been vilified by humanity for millennia, and because of all of this has a low sense of self-worth and has come to believe that he’s a monster - love is something Lucifer literally hasn’t been shown in millions (billions?) and until very recently hasn’t been in a position to express love in return - and you expect him to drop an “I love you” nonchalantly?

Again, it’s okay to have Chloe focus on her emotions rather than Lucifer’s. But if I say something hurtful to someone - even if I’m under duress - it’s still hurtful. I still owe them an apology.

The “not in relationship” evasion

Despite the fact that Michael lying was such a key factor in Chloe knowing he wasn’t Lucifer and Chloe clinging to the fact Lucifer doesn’t, Chloe doesn’t seem to make the connection that telling the truth to Lucifer is essential

One unaddressed factor from last season - Chloe lied to Lucifer and allowed him to think that everything was fine and that she wanted a relationship with him...and then on what he happily thought was a date almost roofied him (at minimum, who knows what was really in that vial). Lucifer subsequently found out about the plan - so there’s a historical basis for her to lie to him about how she feels (in order to betray him) - Chloe, he already thinks he’s unworthy of you, he’s already used to people he loves hurting him - you need to be straightforward with him

This includes not evading (or lying) about being in a relationship with him.

At least she does eventually tell Lucifer she needs time & space I suppose

Mojo switching

Why? Just why? It happened and then it stopped. What?

Various other characters:

Linda:

Why did we only have like 2 therapy sessions? Why did Linda not get to do her job this season? Her sessions with Lucifer did help him grow - why the hell didn’t she help Lucifer & Chloe work through some of their issues

I don’t like having her plot this season revolve around children. It’s a personal thing I know - but it’s such a default plot device to use with female characters.

Amenadiel

IDK about the timing of filming for this season but it felt really off-key to have a black man depicted as thinking the best way to make the world safer for his son to be aggressively trying to work with the police. Season 4 had an episode that dealt with the endemic racism in our justice system - why in the hell was that not carried into this season? Why don’t we see Amenadiel protesting or volunteering with a local group trying to address the systematic racism?

Where the hell did the “reflection” thing come from? I never saw Lucifer’s mojo as reflecting, more bringing to the surface what someone already felt/wanted/knew. And even if I buy that - Amenadiel never had people behaving as if he was reflecting love before. Oh and for Lucifer’s mojo, for it to have a visible impact, he generally has to be intending it to (except for when he’s in his devil form). There’s a few examples in earlier seasons where there’s an indication there’s a low level field continuously but nothing like what Amenadiel had happen in the convent. And doesn’t that give Amenadiel two powers (time + love mojo) while Lucifer and Michael only get mojo?

Maze

Oh look, Maze betrayals Lucifer again. Never seen that before.

1 freaking episode with Trixie!!! And it’s also the only episode with Lucifer & Trixie and Lucifer being adorable with Trixie and then - oh, it’s not that Trixie likes Lucifer, it’s that she’s being paid by Maze to get information (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

WTF does Maze believe Michael? He’s a lying liar who lies. I can’t believe Maze would be that stupid.

God

Just no.

Previous seasons seemed to be having the message that God isn’t responsible for your life, you are. Lucifer has a similar realization at the end of season 4. So why are you going to muck that up by making God an active participant???

Other things that bug me:

Lack of LGBTQ+ representation

The old-timey bit doesn’t count IMO - Lucifer gender-flipped characters at Trixie’s request so any LGBTQ+ moments aren’t genuine

Lucifer & Maze are attracted to men and women (no defined label - maybe bisexual or pansexual) but there are no moments where either of them actively show it (or someone of the same gender was obviously attracted to them); I think we get a single line about Lucifer having been with both men & women but that’s all I can recall

Is there a single non-hetero couple depicted on screen (that didn’t have to be gender-flipped)? Seriously. I’m asking.

Ella’s treatment

Already talked about this - but it was blatantly obvious the boyfriend plot served no purpose for Ella herself, just was a way to get this character looped in for other plot purposes

Chloe’s horrible advice to ignore Ella’s internal alarm bells. I don’t - how - what - yeah, feeds into what I said earlier about Chloe being too wrapped up in her own turmoil to be able to see from even a impartial (let alone another’s perspective)

Azrael! Why do you not use this sweetheart of an angel who has an established relationship with Ella? If you had to do this terrible Ella + bad guy plot, then for heaven’s sake, at least give us Azrael to warn Ella? Or something?

Lilith was good...but where is Eve? There’s not even a throwaway line of “Eve’s in Madagascar” or show some postcards she sent to Maze or have Lucifer check-in on her and say “Eve says hi” - does Eve still exist? It’s not like Eve understand about “being made for someone” and maybe help Chloe, right?

The Mock-Lucifer show episode -

if you have an episode in your show that’s parodying your show...it had better be because you work for a secret government agency and it’s being allowed b/c the government can claim anyone trying to blow the whistle got it from the TV show (Stargate fans out there?) - otherwise, no.

I know Lucifer likes to use the case-of-the-week to mirror what’s going on with Lucifer and the rest outside of the case - but this is too blatant, to the point it feels condescending

I didn’t actually want to know the story of Lucifer’s ring. Officially at least. Leave me some mysteries please, something to speculate about with other fans, something to develop headcanons for, something to write fanfic about - the story itself was fine, but doesn’t seem necessary

Hell Repercussions

Despite Michael using it as an excuse why “Lucifer” was behaving weirdly, once Lucifer is back, there’s little to no indication of the impact Hell had on Lucifer - thousands of years, and he��s pretty much the same as the moment he left Earth

Could have had Lucifer regress somewhat because he no longer had any support structure, was among literal demons who aren’t good for socialization, and perhaps had to revert to a more violent and vicious version of himself

Could have had Lucifer return to being more hedonistic - which would have been a good point of tension with Chloe - because he was starved of anything good in hell and is now trying to soak in as much life as possible (music, drink, drugs, parties, maybe flirting/dancing)?

One thing I did like was Lucifer talking to a human in hell - could have done something with Lucifer trying to help humans who felt guilty for things which shouldn’t qualify for eternal torment - connecting with semi-decent humans in hell b/c he couldn’t go back to Earth and b/c he has more empathy for them now (although I would argue Lucifer has always been kinder towards humans than other angels - look at the very first episode and how he treated Deliah)

Did no one try to contact Lucifer in hell? Amenadiel could have visited, he could have brought letters or messages from the humans in the know...did no one think of that? To help ease Lucifer’s isolation even in the smallest way? It felt like - as soon as Lucifer left - everyone was just like ‘well, he’s in Hell now, that’s too bad.’

What I did like:

Dan

He’s struggling and he knows it, and he’s trying to be a better version of himself while knowing he’s deeply flawed

The scenes with Dan & Lucifer working a case together are some of my favorites

While I do wish he had recognized Michael’s ploy - in light of his history of doing something morally questionable “for the greater good” and his current self-examination - his reaction makes sense to me. He’s terrified and he reacts very honestly and directly; I think Lucifer would far prefer Dan’s reaction of just shooting him to Chloe’s reaction that involved her lying to him and allowing him hope only to learn she planned on using his feelings for her to allow her to get close enough to use the poison (and send him back to hell).

Lucifer & Trixie - loved it (up until the elevator scene at the end)

Lucifer’s very practical solution of marking Michael so they couldn’t be confused - brutal yes, but practical

This turned out way longer than I thought it would. I could be wrong - I did only see it once so it’s entirely possible I’ve missed something or don’t remember something - and I know we’ve got more episodes to come that may improve the season.

But compared to season 4 which had a tight plot that worked in concert with the character arcs, my initial impression of season 5 is overwhelming disappointment. I expected better than I got.

Imagine being the only one in Stark Tower that Loki actually likes (besides his brother, of course).

Gif Source: BecauseHiddles

Loki X Reader

When Thor, Loki and a handful of Asgardians sought refuge on Earth, Tony took back Stark Tower and turned a majority of the offices into apartments for Earth's newest refugees. Everyone had been welcomed with opened arms and kind words, but the moment someone noticed Loki was back... all hell broke loose.

For weeks Thor and Bruce tried to vouch for the God of Lies and his reformed ways. So as the cousin to Pepper Potts- she was the only family member kind enough to take you in after hitting a rough patch in life- you stayed on the sidelines and watched everything unfold. No one trusted Loki, not that you blamed them, but you felt a bit bad about your fast judgement after hearing Thor explain that Loki's mind had been messed with just as Hawkeye and Doctor Selvig's had been.

The God of Mischief was excellent at feigning ignorance to all the hostile environments he walked into, but he couldn't keep it up forever. So the first time you saw his mask crack and his shoulders slump when he suspected no one was paying him any attention, you got fed up with everyone's attitude and decided to throw caution to the wind.

Waking up early one morning, you headed to the communal kitchen to bake a cake. You iced it in forest green before drawing a silhouette of Loki's Asgardian helmet in golden yellow icing. Edible green and yellow sugar pearls were stuck along the bottom of the cake before you wrote 'Welcome' in your best loopy handwriting in black icing beneath the helmet. Then after washing everything you'd dirtied, you propped up a card beside the cake that read 'Loki' in hopes of no one touching it before going back to bed.

Then two days later when you were returning to your apartment, there was a sticky note on your door that read 'Thank you' and was signed with a small sigil that shimmered gold and green.

Watching the live feed of the latest mission the Avengers and Co. have been sent on, you groan as you watch Loki enter hand-to-hand combat before cradling your face in your hands. The TV is suddenly turned off and Pepper gingerly takes a seat next to you.

"They're going to be okay, Y/N."

"It's not them I'm worried about it."

"Fair enough. Loki will be okay."

You scoff and look up at your older cousin. "Do you really believe that? The team still hates him, Pep. Tony and Steve are the only ones coming around; Tony because of you and Steve because of Bucky who also went through the unfortunate event of having his mind messed with."

"Oh, honey," she chuckles. "Steve did not come around because of Bucky. He came around because of you." Your nose wrinkles in distaste. "Surely you've seen the way he-"

"I know," you mumble, hurriedly. "Please drop it. I wasn't comfortable when Natasha started meddling and I'm not even remotely comfortable just thinking that a National Icon probably liked me."

"To be fair, he really did like you. But your thing with Loki kind of caught everyone by surprise."

You shake your head. "Nah. I think he was more interested in fixing me. Thing is, I'm not broken. Never have been. I just lost my way."

"Yeah you did." Pepper smiles kindly now. "And from the looks of the tower security feed, it seems Loki has factored into you remaining sober as well."

You roll your eyes, but can't help the smile that suddenly forms. "You know when Loki found out I had a weakness for pills, all the ibuprofen suddenly vanished from my rooms. When I found out he was behind the theft I told him they were harmless pills and you had approved of me having them. He didn't seem to care and told me to go to him whenever my head hurt."

"Why?"

"So he could work some mojo with pressure points to vanish the headache without popping any more unnecessary pills."

"Really?"

"Mhm."

"Huh. I guess this so called Trickster has a different side to him that we've yet to see for ourselves."

You open your mouth to retort, but FRIDAY alerts the both of you that the mission is over and that the team will be on their way soon.

"Oh. Good." Pepper sighs. "I'm going to order some food. Want anything special?"

"Oh, um, yeah. Can you get three orders of pot stickers and two orders of chow mein; one beef and one chicken." Pepper raises an eyebrow at your order, stifling a laugh. You sigh. "I'm tired of Loki and that Valkyrie chick stealing my pot stickers. This way, we all get our own containers."

"If you say so, Y/N."

"I do. Off to order you go," you mutter while shooing her away. "I'm just gonna lay here and watch some TV."

When the elevator dings a while later, accompanied by various voices, you're laying out on the couch with your right arm tucked underneath your head as you watch some TV. Clint suddenly rolls over the back of the couch and lands atop of you, but you're quick to push him off with a grunt. Steve and Bucky chortle over his misfortune while the archer pouts and pulls himself into one of the available armchairs, and you flip him off with a grin.

Thor's booming voice draws your gaze back towards the elevator and you watch as the two Norse Gods walk further into the room. While Thor breaks off and heads for the kitchen, Loki's bored gaze meets yours. As he saunters towards you, you can't help but grin as you watch his Asgardian armor briefly shimmer golden before it's replaced with a comfortable cotton v-neck and sweatpants.

Loki doesn't hesitate to crawl up your lower half, his arms wrapping beneath your bum as he lays his head atop your stomach. Your left hand immediately moves to his hair, your fingers diving in and lightly scratching at his scalp. Loki hums and stretches before melting against you, and your gaze darts to Clint who makes a noise in the back of his throat.

With your free hand, you point in his direction with a narrowed gaze. "Not a word!"

"But-"

"Nope. It's a thing. We've discussed it, but we are not explaining ourselves to anyone." Clint opens his mouth to reply, but a flying decorative pillow hits him square in the face. Craning your neck in the direction it came from, Bucky's lips quirk as he nods at you. You huff a laugh. "Thanks, Barnes."

"Don't mention it, doll."

As you all settle back in to watch some mindless TV, you feel a pair of lips brush against the skin of your hip where your shirt had ridden up. You smile and then your fingers get back to playing with Loki's hair and massaging his scalp.

After a yoga session with Bruce in the upper gym, FRIDAY asks you to stop by the communal floor before going to your apartment. You acknowledge her request and redirect your route, but the moment the doors ding open... you stumble out in shock.

There's a path of red rose petals lined with glass vases holding even more red roses. "What the..." You walk further into the room, hesitant of remaining on the rose petal pathway, but continue on with a shake of your head. "Hey, FRIDAY, who's the romantic?"

"If you continue walking, sweetheart, you'll get your answer." Loki's voice startles a laugh out of you and as you round the couch, the God in question is perched on the top step of the sunken sitting area. He's staring at you over his shoulder, smiling. "I hope you worked up an appetite."

There's an honest to God candlelit picnic dinner on the floor before him and your jaw drops open in shock. Eyes widening in surprise, your gaze darts back to Loki who's standing up to his full height now. "Loki," you laugh in awe. "What the- what's going on?"

"What? Can't I treat my lady every now and then?"

You snort. "Your lady? Since when are we adding labels to whatever this is between us?" You ask.

His eyes sparkle as he reaches for one your hands, his fingers dancing up your arm and to your shoulder where he slyly wraps an arm around your shoulders and tucks you into his side. "Since the lovely Miss Potts sought me out in front of my brother and told me how much she appreciated me spending time with you, and that she highly approved of whatever we had going on. I blame you, you know, for telling your cousin how soft you've made me." He presses a quick kiss to your temple.

"How soft I've made you?" You laugh incredulously. "Loki, Loki, Loki," you muse. "I hate to tell you, but you've always been this soft. You just never had the right lady to bring it out of you."

"Hmm. I suppose so." As you glance up at him, his lips fall upon yours. He pecks you once, then twice, humming as he lets his lips linger against yours longer each time. "Come now, love. Let us eat before Barton's nose brings him to this floor."

reaction post typed while watching SPN 13x18 “Bring ‘em Back Alive”

CHARLIEEEE !!! GABRIELLLLL !!! & THAT SAM/GABRIEL DEAN/CAS PARALLEL wow

03:52pm

all i know about this is 1) it’s written by the deadly duo, and 2) CAS IS P I S S E D BECAUSE DEAN WENT INTO THE AU WITHOUT HIM

let us begin

03:56

dat face

are those the dimples of discontent i see

03:57

hurr, the icy stick got wiggled by the camera guy before dean went past

03:58

this dramatic trumpet music is pleasing to the ears

04:00

OH SHIT OH SHIT OHS ADJSFHIT

DGXDG

;;A;A;A;A;

JHJFG

04:01

cas has really nailed the full-body eye roll thing

sidenote while cas is rolling his eyes for 10 minutes: the fact the deadly duo killed charlie and now they’ve brought her back (?) is making me wary

either they’re trying to repair damage permanently or they’re like “WE ARE MERCIFUL GODS” and then they’re gonna fuck it up again

edit: i think maybe they didn’t write/decide that bit, since her presence is part of a bigger plotline (thank goodness)

04:07

cas: “sam, i don’t think he’s gonna open up and let the choo-choo in”

what i want to know is where the heck cas picked that one up from

maybe dean’s long talks about how he looked after sam when they were kids, telling cas everything over a beer (or a hot cocoa in the middle of the night) because he and cas are BESTIES

04:08

HOW COULD THEY THINK FORCE-FEEDING WAS A GOOD IDEA

HE’S TRAUMATISED, NOT A CHILD?????

both sam and cas know that???? thEY’VE BOTH BEEN TRAUMATISED TO THIS POINT BEFORE?? AND THEY KNOW THAT IF SOMEONE DOESN’T WANT TO BE TOUCHED THEN YOU DON’T FUCKING GRAB THEM AND FORCE FEED THEM?????????

gabriel’s reaction makes sense, no qualms there, but SAM and CAS would never do that??? even if the action is meant to help someone?? at least fucking give the guy a few days to realise he’s safe before RUINING THAT SENSE OF SAFETY WITH MORE NON-CONSENSUAL PHYSICAL TRAUMA

@ DEADLY DUO PLEASE STOP

04:10

“written by *foghorn* & *police siren*”

yeah you don’t say

04:14

i forgot how much danneel’s voice vibrates on a totally different wavelength than every voice i’m used to

whenever she speaks i can’t pay attention to anything, just her pretty noise

she must be a siren

i wonder if she sings

04:18

is it mostly just the deadly duo doing the lucifer-trump parallels now?

04:19

are those rainbow titanium balls in colonel sander’s hand meant to be magical or or do they just symbolise having the demon’s balls under control

04:23

so now dean’s injured he needs cas to come fix him yes????? pls

edit: the fact he didn’t... and given the portal-parallel last episode regarding separated lovers.... makes me think they were going for more of a dean/ketch or dean+charlie or dean+everyone else he cares about portal-separation thing

04:23

cool decor choice gabriel

you must give me the name of your decorator

and/or your supplier of sharpies with infinite ink

sam: “what is this? did he do this? enochian?”

SAM WHERE DID YOU PUT YOUR BRAIN TODAY

04:25

love this shot

04:11

ketch: “you don’t look good”

dean: “well you’re not my type either. i’m fine”

bi dean is in the houuuuuuuuuuuuuse

or the woods

whichever

dean: “how’s it look, mom?”

i wish i didn’t ship dean/ketch but i kinda do, i can’t help it

04:35

ketch has a surprisingly gentle bedside manner

04:36

sam: “we need you. gabriel, i need you”

sabriel shippers worldwide just lost their mINDS

and people who enjoy destiel parallels too

OH WAIT THAT’S ME

I’M EXCITED ABOUT THIS

04:48

so they had 24 hours to do the thing

but dean charged in basically on the heels of being attacked by tentacles

i doubt he slept???

this boy needs to take better care of himself dammit

then again if he’d slept he wouldn’t have seen charlie

04:52

ruh-roh dean LiKEs ketch now

he did The Punch

04:53

charlie: “one more time. bite me.”

guess it runs in the family

also.... can’t angels just extract info from brains with mojo ? there was a whole episode about it one time

04:56

what is the POINT of lucifer’s storyline though

idk if it’s just me but i find him so aNNOYING

like a fly going in circles around a room and buzzing constantly

maybe my emotions are just mirroring jo’s/danneel’s though, ‘cause she is totally and utterly over his shit

but also ... now i think about it, she’s fed up with him wallowing in self-pity and common-or-garden tyranny, yet wants to support him acquiring greater things, but is expecting him to come up with all the ideas and probably take the first step, and only seems interested in standing next to him rather than actually doing anything? i’d put that down to the deadly duo’s writing though, she seemed more like an Ideas And Action person when she was first introduced

seems a waste to let her just be a follower

i shall now quietly hope she overthrows lucifer and becomes ruler of hell herself tbh

05:02

cool jacket

05:07

if asmodeus is after gabriel why the effing fuck would sam and cas leave gabriel to go to a different room

“ooh all the lights are flashing i wonder if they’re flashing in ALL the rooms”

me: *does one of cas’ eye rolls*

one of them should have at least stayed to guard gabriel

why are these writers’ episodes full of basic logic failures

05:09

wait are these angels? ok what’s going on

did i miss a memo where asmodeus is using angels as henchmen

05:13

this was such a WEAK fight

i’m kind of sad that sam and cas would leave gabriel to be captured

WHERE’S THE FIGHTING SPIRIT

they could’ve had a really cool fight, locked into gabriel’s room? if gabriel had sharpies they could’ve added some asmodeus-specific warding???? i’m so disappointed

05:16

hey gabriel has all his feathers!!!!!

05:20

sometimes i just don’t understand how his features are all placed so perfectly to make him this beautiful

05:23

cas: “there was a demon incursion led by asmodeus”

wait so they were demons? why did they die like angels then

or is it the angel blade that makes things die with white light

i thought demons burned up and turned to dust?

or am i just forgetting things

05:25

DEAN YELLED SO MUCH I JUMPED

OH MAN

HE IS VERY UPSET

05:26

love this shot too

directed by Amyn Kaderali!! nice

05:33

done!!

that was.........pretty good?

not the BEST but not terrible either

some bits (all of charlie’s bits) were great ‘cause she was like BITE ME and that was great and i love her aND I MISSED HER A LOT

and jensen’s acting was flawless and on point as usual and I LOVED SEEING CAS AND GABRIEL

and the sam/gabriel destiel parallel!!!!!!!!! dang

some logic issues imo but nothing worthy of more than a mild facepalm and an eye roll, really

no people of colour and therefore no opportunity for racism, i’d count that as a win for these writers

8/10 ? yeah

ketch’s soft side is interesting, i find myself.... what’s the word..... caring about him? or something........

i mean, gabriel threw off his trauma in a wholly unrealistic, unrelatable way, but i suppose running away from the fight afterwards is his way of coping. but if that’s true then it’s neither his fault for leaving, OR sam or cas’ fault for letting him go

conclusion: everyone needs more hugs, and consent is important before touching

have a beautiful day everyone

Monday Night Raw Review- August 13th, 2018

Hello everyone! Welcome to another Raw review! It’s the final Raw before Summerslam, so this show would also be known as the “go home” show. Hoping for a solid Raw tonight; usually, go home shows are hit or miss ones to be honest. I’m very excited to have Renee Young on commentary tonight! She’s already a legend and I love her a lot.

Please let me know what you thought of the show, I’d love to hear from you! Anything you wanna share about the show, your day, or this review, leave a comment! I always appreciate notes on these reviews, and reblogs help out a lot! Thanks!

Thoughts are going out to the Neidhart family after news of The Anvil’s passing this morning. Nattie deserves the biggest respect and ovation from the crowd tonight if she’s at the show. She should be with her family right now, so let’s give her the biggest fucking cheer so she feels it at home. RIP Jim Neidhart.

Opening- Ronda Rousey

Mmm, I don’t know how I feel about Ronda doing this for Nattie and for Jim, but I’ll refrain from saying anything negative about her for the sake of his passing. It was nice of Ronda to do this for her friend.

Ooooh an Ember match tonight?! Aw hell yeah dog!!!

Alicia coming out with the full crown looking so amazing and putting everyone else back in their seats haHAH

I don’t care for Alexa really at all, but what she says about Ronda every week is really how I feel and I can’t help but root for her in this feud. I hope she retains on Sunday?

...and then Ember can come for the title and take it.

Ember Moon vs. Alexa Bliss

Ember’s got the champion under her control as this match begins. Ember has Alexa trapped in a headlock, keeping her grounded, but Alexa wraps Ember up in a headlock of her own and rolls away from Ember. Alexa tries to intimidate Ronda and stomp Ember, but Ember gets her legs up wraps them around Alexa’s head and throws her into the ring post.

I’d love it if Michael and Corey would shut up and let Renee talk oh my god

Alexa hits Ember with a nice dropkick to the midsection, but Ember is quick to get back to her feet and fight back with a step-up enziguri, knocking Alexa back down. The match continues...

The match progresses with Alexa keeping the pace still. Keeping Ember grounded is smart strategy given that Ember’s finishing move is a top rope move.

Michael Cole brought up the fact that Ronda has only had 3 matches in her WWE career so far, which makes me pretty frustrated because there are so many other women who deserve a title run other than her!

Ember gets fired up, but Ronda steals the spotlight from the match and attacks Foxy. Alexa goes and throws Ronda right into the barricade. Ember is ready for Alexa once she gets back into the ring and sets her up for the Eclipse. The Eclipse hits! Foxy breaks the pin, and Ronda is right behind her and the bell is rung. Godddddddddd

Can Alexa back up her words and take on Rousey in the ring? Will Ronda undeservedly win the championship, only to be another UFC part-timer?

Baron Corbin vs. Tyler Breeze

After weeks of yet another unfortunate storyline and string of matches for Finn Balor, it was finally announced last week that Finn and Baron will fight again at Summerslam next week. I’m really hoping this is it for this feud. Finn deserves better, and while he says he’s just happy to be in the ring every week, I don’t believe that he’s happy not being in the title picture. When the strap comes back to Raw, he should get his rematch, and get that title back.

If they want to keep playing with the “Finn’s too tiny”, then Baron needs to sell it better. I believe that Baron says it like someone told him to say it, not that he believes it. I’m a fan of this corporate Baron, but I just want his promos to hit a little more.

I’m happy that Tyler is on TV! Even if it’s in a shitty match like this, he’s at least on the show. Tyler’s holding his own against Baron, but in the end Baron did overpower him for the win. Baron wanted to prove that little guys are easy to beat, but Finn will give him a run for his money all the time.

Before Baron left, he called Jinder and Kevin down to face Finn in a handicap match. AND THEN Kurt Angle came out and changed it to a tag match and out came Braun Strowman. Okay.

Finn/Braun vs. Kevin/Jinder

Jinder backs Finn into the post to start this out. Jinder keeps Finn pinned to the ground until Balor rolls out and hits a basement dropkick to Jinder, who quickly gets away and pushes Balor into his corner to tag Kevin.

Balor is being made to look really weak in this match it seems like. He’s being thrown around like nothing, and being knocked with snapmares and knees to the back? Finn sells it really well, but he’s so much better than that. Come on.

Finn finally finds a break and makes the tag to Braun. Strowman comes in, looking a little leaner (?), and immediately goes to town on Jinder. Kevin, of course, runs away and he tries to stay away from Braun, but with another tag to Finn, and a perfect dropkick to Jinder, Finn flies over the ropes on both Kevin and Jinder, giving Finn and Braun the upperhand leading into commercial.

Finn is down again with Jinder dragging him all around the ring. Kevin comes back now and he’s also just controlling Finn. Jinder and Kevin are just going round robin with Finn, beating him up as much as they want. I really hate seeing Finn like this...

Finn finally tags Braun back in, and the match is coming to a close now. All Braun has to do is throw Jinder around a bit and that’s it. And Baron comes up and attacks Finn.

I just want better for Finn.

Again, can Michael and Corey shut up so Renee can talk??

Bobby Lashley was in a squash match, so there’s that.

B Team vs. Matt/Bray vs. The Revival for the Tag Titles

Wait, is this Matt’s last match? He posted a cryptic picture that could mean Bray is leaving? But all the comments on the picture indicate that Matt is done.

I cannot stand the new theme for the B Team still. My god, it’s awful. It sounds like a high school drumline.

We’ll see who faces who on Sunday. If this is Matt’s last match, then it’ll most likely be the Revival on Sunday.

I’m kind of already expecting the B Team to retain tonight. They’re too hot to drop the straps right now.

I honestly don’t even understand how a triple threat tag match is working. Bray and Matt sat back for the start of the match, and now Matt is in and B Team is out?

With nothing else interesting for me to talk about, the B Team were successful in retaining their titles.

Roman Reigns

Roman is out to cut a promo tonight, saying again how Brock is not a people’s champ and that he’s gonna put Brock up Dana White’s ass. (Dana White is the president if the UFC, in case ya don’t know)

Paul Heyman is out now! Ooh, twist!

Paul tried to convince Roman that once he got the strap back, he could be his advocate instead of Brock’s. When Roman wasn’t convinced, Paul sprayed something at Roman, blinding him to the attack from Brock Lesnar. As we’ve seen many times already in this story, Brock ruthlessly attacked Roman. This is not something I need to see every time these guys fight. It’s not interesting, and it doesn’t add to the show for me. But it was a surprise to see Brock. I didn’t know he was supposed to show.

Titus Worldwide and Bobby Roode beat AoP and Mojo Rawley?

Sasha Banks and Ruby Riott had a pretty great match in Ruby’s return match to Raw.

I feel like this last hour of Raw has taken a really long time to get going.

IC Title Signing

Kurt first addressed the attack from Brock on Roman. He said that Brock would not be suspended and the match is still taking place.

...well no shit it’s still happening.

Drew and Dolph came out and just wanted it called. Seth is here, but he’s not at the ring yet. Hmm, do I smell a return?

Also, Drew sounds more Scottish than normal.

Dolph has fantastic mic work. He’s as fantastic as he was on day one. He’s amazing. One of the top guys on Raw right now, in my opinion. His promo tonight, although it dragged on, was fantastic.

SETH IS HERE. GOT A NICE POP

OH MY DEAN AMBROSE IS BACK

After weeks of rumors, he’s here!

AND HE’S THICCC AND BALD

SUMMERSLAM 2018

Not a bad go home show, especially that killer return from Dean! My favorite part of the whole show was Renee doing commentary. Michael and Corey were really steamrolling the whole night, but Renee held her own and was fantastic. I hope she gets to do it again soon!

Thanks for tuning in. Please give this post a like and a reblog if you enjoyed, and let me know what you liked or didn’t like about the show! Thanks so much! Until next time!

Help via /r/pagan

Help

I’m at a total loss here. This post may be a bit messy. I’m not a religious person AT ALL! I do believe in Gods but not a God if that makes any sense. I pray to no one, I worship no one, I believe in “nothing” because I’ve never seen, or felt the truth. My daughter Havein died about 10 years ago. She was 6 & 1/2 months old. SIDS took her from me like a thief in the night. No warning, just stole her life in the matter of minutes! I have battled with “God” (more specifically the Christian/Catholic God) over the years asking why? Asking what I done wrong? Asking why her and not me? Asking if I can trade places with her? Asking if I can sacrifice someone else to just bring her back? Well obviously I never got an answer to any of these questions.

I’ve spent YEARS researching “what happens to a baby’s soul when they die” only to get the same ole same ole...”all babies go to heaven, all babies are safe, all babies are at peace” but when I looked further into these religions specifically the Old Testament, it states that non baptized babies go to the “limbo” a middle place (from my understanding) and they’re not at peace, but they’re lonely... I also learned that in 2017 the pope changed that, saying that babies don’t go to the limbo and are automatically brought to God in the kingdom of heaven. Here’s a quick question...how in the hell can the pope change anything about a religion that was brought about WAY before him? How can he know that for sure? again this information is just what I’ve researched and came up with on my own, so some of the things like the limbo, I may not have a full understanding about so if you know anymore information about it PLEASE SHARE!

Well needless to say, my baby wasn’t baptized. My baby was religionless....I also read in the Old Testament that babies die because of a curse? A curse that could of been put on an old ancestor of mine...I’m so confused here because in any religion, isn’t the word cursed used for magic and in religion they don’t believe in Magic?? Or that magic is “bad” and shouldn’t be used?? But In the Old Testament they use that word like it’s a punishment from “God”........ again if you if you have any info about this PLEASE SHARE!!! But here’s why I kinda believe this...I’m a mom to 3 boys that I love with all my heart but I’ve always wanted a girl. Since my very first pregnancy! Instead I had boy/boy/girl/boy. My third pregnancy was supposed to be my last. I was scheduled to get my tubes tied March 10th 2010 about 6 months after having my daughter c-section. It wasnt done at the time of her c section because it was an emergency c section and I almost died. Well on March 5th 2010 I woke up to the worst day of my life. My daughter was dead. March 10th came around and my mom talked me into going to this appointment and before a tubal they give you a pregnancy test. Boom I was pregnant. No surgery that day they just took blood work to confirm my pregnancy and sent me home. 2 weeks later I got a call confirming the pregnancy. A few months later I found out I was having another boy. I was still grieving the loss of my daughter and questioning why “God” would take a child from me but leave me with 2 plus give me another? It didn’t make sense, still don’t make sense. Maybe I’m cursed I’m not meant to raise girls. My sister has 2 daughters and my brother has one. They each have a son. Babies don’t die in our family. Mine was the first. Anyway I got a dog about 4 years ago her name was Lucy. She was my baby girl. I love/d her so much. She was a healthy dog. She got ran over on 9/29/20 I cried over her while petting her in the road as she took her last breath. That was the second worst day of my life. Idk why but feelings I felt the day I lost my daughter came back. My heart hurt so much. I started thinking of that curse again. Asking questions like is it my fault my dog died? Was I not supposed to get a female baby of any kind?

I’ve never performed a spell before not even little spells as I don’t fully understand magic and how things come back to you 3,5 or 10 fold. So I’ve never messed with it just admired it from afar. I have seen tons of supernatural movies where they bring people back from the dead. & learned it was necromancy. I looked into necromancy and kinda think the shit is real TO A POINT! I don’t think just anyone can do necromancy I believe it is a learned craft that takes years to master and even then how far can you really go with necromancy? I understand a bit more about necromancy than I understand about magic itself. I know that there is history rooted in the Bible about necromancy. I understand that there are different ways to go about doing a necromancy spell. But I don’t know much else about it. Like is necromancy looked at like a Ouija board? Do people just tend to stay away from that? Why? Why not?

Let me just say that I’m not trying to bring my daughter back from the dead (if I could I would and no one could change my mind) I had her cremated and brought her home if that matters here. I don’t want to know about the future or who wins the super bowl I just want to know she’s ok, she’s at peace. I need to know. This keeps me up at night, it’s been 10 years and I still can’t “get over it” I just can’t. Maybe it’s me maybe I’m just that fucked up in the head that I really can’t get over it. If that’s the case, I’ll take it but I deeply feel that every mom would live her whole life NEEDING to know, begging to know. I’ve spoken to a medium but don’t know how I feel about it cus I didn’t FEEL anything from it. I didn’t FEEL her. Idk guys, maybe it’s me trying so hard or looking for something but I just need to know. I’ve thought about going to other more famous mediums but my money is always funny and I can’t justify paying so much money for an answer I’m not sure will be true or paying someone that I don’t know FOR SURE if they can reach my baby. I don’t doubt the powers they posses so please don’t take me not wanting to pay as being rude. I’d pay with everything I own and have access to if I knew the person was legit and could in some way prove to me they reached my baby and got a definite answer. I could looking into summoning? But how does that work? from what I’ve gathered that could be a very bad thing. Why is it a bad thing to do tho? Has anyone here ever summoned someone? How did it go? How do you know the soul you summoned was the soul you asked for? I’m asking for opinions, answers, feedback..etc. I’m not going to do ANYTHING with Magic because like I said before I really don’t understand it and I’m not the one to risk anything just to “try it”. I’ve also seen a ton of posts about using a ouija board. I’ve seen people say they’re ok to use and then I’ve seen people straight up forbid them. Why? What’s your take on it? What’s your actual experience with it? What about necromancy? What about any spells someone would do in this situation? Do I just make up the words to said spell? I’m seriously at a loss. I just want to research this topic in a different way, at a different angle. Google brings up a ton of 5th grade spell shit lol and I’m not gonna feed into any of it. I need like keywords to look up or phrases cus my blunt questions like “can I summon a soul” aren’t doing much for legit answers, just a bunch of abracadabra mojo and a YouTube video of some bullshit. I’ve also reached out to the Vatican library and requested photo copies of some archived documents,spell books and other religious texts that aren’t available to the public and I’m hoping to be able to get some more information from those however they could take up to 6 months to receive so in the mean time I’m asking other people from different backgrounds/beliefs to share what they may know. Im also interested in learning about where our pets go after death? Can I connect with my lost pet in anyway? If so, how? I would love to tell her she’s a good girl one more time. I buried her in my dads backyard so if being near her would help, I can make that happen🖤 Thanks for reading my unorganized post. If you don’t want to share anything in the comments you can inbox me 🤞🏻

Destiel Fic Recs

I’ve decided to put together a rec list of my favorite Destiel fics....because I have read so, SO many fics in this fandom. All those times when I should have been writing? Or working? Or cleaning my house? Yeahhh, I was reading fics instead. I also tend to be a really picky reader, so I wanted to share a few fics that really made an impression on me, in the hopes that other people will enjoy them as well and maybe find some new fics they haven’t read yet. :)

I’ll do my best not to give anything away that will ruin the story, but be warned, there might be some minor spoilers – but probably not anything worse than you would find out just by reading the tags or summaries.

I will add to this list occasionally.

Last updated: January 13, 2018

List of fics is under the cut!

❤ = absolute favorites

CANON!VERSE FICS

What Has Eight Tentacles and Isn’t Allowed to Eat Pie?, 16k words, Teen

Dean watched an anime porn about this once, but real life turns out to be way less interesting.

Or, the one where Dean gets turned into an octopus.

This fic is adorable. It takes place in the bunker after Dean touches something he shouldn’t, and they have to find a way to turn him back. Dean’s point of view as he struggles to learn about being an octopus is hilarious, Sam is appropriately exapserated, and Cas is the biggest sweetheart on the planet as he helps take care of Dean. Bonus: there’s some wonderful Kevin inclusion in this fic, including him shrieking like a little girl.

❤ A Room of One’s Own, 94k words, Explicit

All Dean wants is a little privacy. Cas doesn't understand.

This fic is AMAAAZING. I’m sure almost everyone has read it because it’s very well-known, but listen, it’s well-known for a reason. Dean’s characterization is spot on, the fic is soulful and sometimes hilarious and sometimes a little angsty and really, really, really fucking hot. *fans self* Here is my absolute favorite quote from the fic, just as a teaser:

"Your exact words, as I recall, were 'Do not frigging come into the frigging bathroom without a frigging express invitation, you frigging pervert.'”

Cuckoo and Nest, 10k words, Explicit.

For a long time, Castiel thought that every earthly possession other than the immediately necessary was excess to requirement. But Dean – Dean who named his car, who keeps a photograph of his mother in his wallet, some thirty-plus years after her death, who still has the crumpled ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign with a sleeping pelican emblazoned on it from the Microtel outside of Roanoke where he first kissed Castiel, clumsy and unsure, under the unsteady fluorescence of an exhausted bathroom bulb – is sentimental.

It puzzles Castiel, where Dean draws the line between what is meaningful and what it is worthless.

This was lovely. Dean and Castiel are together, but nothing comes easy and they to have to learn how to compromise and how they fit into each other’s lives. The characterization in this story was spot-on, and it features a wonderfully nit-picky, clean-freak Dean, which I adore and don’t see often enough.

❤ I Dream of Deannie series, 71k words, Explicit.

While on a hunt, Castiel gets a dose of djinn toxin, and finally gets to experience what he's really wanted all along. Set vaguely S5ish. Shameless Destiel PWP. Continued in "The First Time, Again."

The first fic in this series is basically just smut involving Cas and djinn!Dean, but the rest of the fics are where it starts getting REALLY good. After being saved from the djinn, things start developing in real life between Cas and Dean, and it’s WONDERFUL. One of the most well-written, realistic ways that I’ve ever seen their relationship develop in a canon!verse fic, it really holds true to the characterization for me. Also, most amazing love confession ever. Also, really hot sex scenes.

Hesitation, 24.5k words, Explicit

Zachariah orders Castiel to seduce Dean in order to strengthen his allegiance to heaven. Castiel thinks it will be something to endure. Dean just thinks Castiel wants him. Neither one is right.

This fic...ughhh, what to even say, it’s wonderful and also heart-breaking. It’s basically as the summary says: Zachariah orders Cas to sleep with Dean, which he does, even though he doesn’t really want to... at first. Dean has no idea about Cas’ orders... at first. You might want to avoid it if you’re squicked out by potential dub!con, but I thought this fic was handled really well and I didn’t really see it that way. The dub!con is because of Cas’ orders, but Dean is never the one who forces Cas into anything and he’s very patient and wonderful, and things get worked out in the end.

Holy!Dean series, 120k words, Explicit.

Dean Winchester has grown used to God dicking around in his life the last couple years. But this crap? This takes the CAKE ... or pie, rather. Now he's been thrown a whole new curve-ball. The kind that has ended the Civil War in Heaven ... but resulted in Raphael taking over, and hunting for Dean's ass on a silver platter. Not to mention dealing with Balthazar acting like a self-righteous prick, Sam having some big damn epiphany on his big brother's sexuality, and Cas eying him up like he's the world's juiciest cheeseburger. All that mixed with the chance to fix it all and set everything to rights ... but only if Dean is willing to sacrifice himself. Again. Seriously, if he ever meets that bastard God he's gonna- ... oh hey, Chuck! What are you doing here?

This was so good! Chuck picks Dean to be his “successor” as God, so Dean has to learn about sacrifices, love, and how to use his fancy new mojo. Castiel, Gabriel, and Balthazar are all in the story, which I love, because angel shenanigans are the best. This series is hilarious most of the time and very sweet at other times.

Brother Lover, 4k words, Teen

"However- and it doesn't happen a lot- they have to invoke 'I saw her first'."

Dean thinks that Castiel is in love with Sam. Just a short fic involving a misunderstanding and some pining, but it’s very sweet and amusing.

AU FICS

❤ ❤ ❤ Living Broken Adjacent, 135k words, Explicit.

Hunt/Capture/Celebrate/Repeat. Dean Winchester’s world in four words: simple with no fuss. He’s not had a single, life-altering moment in the 13 years since he joined his dad as a professional bounty hunter. Why fix what’s not broken?

That is, until everything around Dean comes to a screeching halt, leaving him alone in new surroundings. Suddenly, Dean’s forced to live in his own version of the Cuckoo’s Nest with the biter, the licker, and the joker. Where angels abound, and his roommate’s haunting blue eyes make him wonder about all his past choices. He’s got this no problem, right? WRONG!

Who knew laughter and love could be found within the dull, institutional walls of a psychiatric hospital, teaching Dean that no one is ever truly broken, but sometimes you simply find yourself lost and stumbling through a life where you are living

…broken adjacent.

I absolutely adore this fic. It has EVERYTHING: Dean in eyeliner, Dean with tattoos, Cas with tattoos, multiple “angels” (Gabriel, Inias, Samandriel, Gadreel), angst, fluff, humor, sex, redemption... it’s wonderful. The author does really well portraying the mental health issues realistically - sometimes there is progress, sometimes there are set-backs, but above all, the characters are MORE than their diagnoses. I also love the relationship between Dean and Cas in this fic. Even though there are angsty parts because they’re all dealing with their own issues, the actual relationship that develops between them is so, so sweet and almost innocent. And last but not least, although kind of random, there is the COOLEST baby name in this fic, A+ for wordplay and puns.

❤ Love, Take Your Toll, 8.5k words, Teen

Cas sees hundreds of faces every day, but there's only one that he really cares about.

Cas works in a toll booth and Dean drives through his lane frequently. This is sweet and has some good pining, and honestly made me a little misty-eyed, Cas is just so genuine and lonely and I just want to hug him.

I love almost every fic by this author, so I’ve recced several of their fics in this post. Seriously, they’re all wonderful - charming, sometimes friggin’ hilarious, and they always leave me smiling. The only problem? I wish all of these stories were longer, I need more!

❤ The Return Policy, 13k words, Explicit

"Most of his visitors are academics. They come from universities all over the nation, sometimes beyond. Others write books. The man in the Reading Room today is neither. He’s a tall, irritated man with a federal badge."

The federal agent's partner is usually the one who does the research. And even though Cas doesn't think this man is a real federal agent, he's happy to help where he can.

Featuring still-a-hunter!Dean and Cas, who works in the Library of Congress. Let me just say one thing: hand kink. If you have even the slightest hand kink, you will enjoy this fic. The characterization is also wonderful and so true to the characters, including Dean’s A+ comebacks, so please enjoy this brief excerpt as an example:

It is in the archives that Cas realizes he has another condition. He scowls when he sees Dean handling a scarred leather album of Beckley’s with his naked hands. He reaches into his pocket and thrusts his extra pair of gloves at Dean.

“Have some care,” he says.

“You—have some…care,” Dean mutters mutinously as soon as he turns away, but at least he puts them on.

❤ The Request, 36k words, Mature

When Sam Winchester prays for his brother, Castiel is finally sent on his very first assignment. But what should be a simple love match turns into much more and Castiel finds himself risking everything to ensure the happiness of his extremely frustrating charge.

This is the cutest fic ever. Castiel is an angel who is the black sheep of his family, and he gets assigned to help Dean find his soulmate. They get a little sidetracked because Castiel helps Dean find some closure about an issue from his past, too. The interactions between Cas and Dean are wonderful, Cas is adorable and naive but still a bamf, and Sam is the best brother ever. I really love this fic, I read it over and over.

The Parts of Our Sum, 55k words, Explicit

Castiel, a former soldier, has worked for the Company his entire life. They've been good to him, providing clothes, shelter and new body parts whenever necessary. Now the Company's gearing up for a space exploration voyage, and Castiel's volunteered for the research team. During the preparation period, he meets Dean Winchester, who makes Castiel wonder about the things he's missed out on.

This is a great sci-fi fic! In a world where humans can be augmented and “improved”, Castiel has a few of these improvements and works for the “Company” that provided them. He meets Dean, who has some strong opinions and biases against the “Company”, even though he’s working for them too, and they develop an interesting and rocky friendship. Some good pining and a happy ending!

❤ Peanut Butter-Pumpkin Wedding Cake, 30k words, Explicit

Dean is a waiter in a strip club to put his kid brother through school. Castiel is dragged to the club as a part of his sister Anna's bachelorette party. Dean and Cas hit it off, but Dean thinks Cas is the one marrying Anna.

This fic is delightful - it’s basically a romcom, I could absolutely see this fic happening on the big screen. Everything starts with a big misunderstanding, but Dean is still drawn to Cas despite his better judgement, and things get worked out in the end. Sam is a big part of this story and he’s DELIGHTFUL, I laughed so hard at some of their brotherly antics and squabbles.

Heaven and Hell Escort Service, 123k words, Explicit

Loosely based on the film 'The Wedding Date'. Castiel Novak is a high class escort, and an expensive one at that. He likes to help people, and being an escort allows him to do that... barely. Dean Winchester is a mechanic/waiter who may have accidentally told his father he has a long-term boyfriend to bring along to Sam's wedding. Desperate times call for desperate measures... an escort service might not be what he wants, but it could be exactly what he needs.

I really enjoyed this fic. Another one that reads like a good romcom, with some humor, some pining, some revelations, and some hot lovin’. The attraction, pining, and UST between Castiel and Dean will keep you on the edge of your seat, yelling at them to just get together already.

❤ Broadway Musical, 12.5k words, Mature

This is the day that marked the Holy and Blessed Union of Dean Winchester and Jo Harvelle.

The merging of prominent bloodlines is always a grand occurrence, but breeding pedigree hunter families like Winchester and Harvelle is something to be rejoiced. It is also something to be meticulously planned, which thankfully the Host is very good at.

Or, the romantic comedy where Dean Winchester and Jo Harvelle are destined to get married, Castiel is given the task of playing matchmaker and fails terribly, the entire Heavenly Host becomes a sitcom audience, God warns against male pregnancy, and Jimmy Novak is incredibly unimpressed with angels in general.

Another fic that I have read several times, this one is wonderful! The angels are trying to get Dean and Jo to be together. Castiel decides to be more hands-on and steps in to help their cause, but nothing goes as planned. The fic is a delight and very funny the entire way through: Jimmy is still sharing Cas’ vessel and makes hilarious observations, the angels watch everything and bicker and squabble and make suggestions, and towards the end of the fic, there’s a cameo by Lucifer that had me DYING. Literally SCREAMING with laughter.

The Way to a Man’s Heart is Through Chlamydia, 89k words, Explicit

Dean doesn't expect to see his one night stand again, but then again he also doesn't expect to find out he has an STD. Sometimes life is hilarious like that.

This was a lovely feel-good story! It starts out with Dean going through a rather crappy time in his life, he finds out his girlfriend was cheating on him and they break up, and he finds a one-night stand (Cas) to get his mind off things. Turns out he has chlamydia from his ex, so of course he has to do the right thing and track down his one-night stand to let him know, and things with him and Cas go from there. It’s an interesting fic because it starts with sex first, but then the rest of the fic is Dean and Cas going more slowly and romancing each other.

Carnival Oasis series, 43k words, Explicit.

Castiel is a being that feeds on sin. Lucky for him, Dean has plenty of sin to spare.

Dean is still a hunter and he runs across Cas, a supernatural being that gets his jollies by “feeding” off the guilt of others. I enjoyed this fic because, despite what you might think, Cas is still mostly the earnest and dedicated Cas we all know, who just wants to be accepted and loved. Is there such as thing as a love!kink? If so, Cas definitely has a love!kink in this fic. Oh, and the sex in this fic was… whew. *fans self* Smokin’ hot. Lots of good sexin’ in there.

❤ Bring It On Home, 40k words, Mature

Multi-chapter Dean/Cas AU. Dean the Sales Rep just moved into the neighborhood, and his neighbor is a definitely crazy shut-in. Now complete! Ch. 30: Dean narrowed his eyes. "I'm not lovely. Knitted tea cozies are lovely."

This was one of the first Destiel fics I ever read, and it remains one of my favorites. Dean is more similar to Dean Smith - he has a house, a good job, a fairly stable life - and Cas is more similar to Endverse!Cas - he uses recreational drugs, reads auras, and is a pretty weird guy. That being said, this fic is actually really, really sweet, and hilarious at times, and there is some wonderful prose and writing, there are a few paragraphs and sentences that are simply gorgeous and beautifully written and full of imagery.

❤ Shortskirts’ Verse, 22k words, Explicit

So, they're in high school, and then they're in college, and it's mostly not about Taylor Swift, except when it is.

Super sweet and feel-good! Dean and Cas start dating in high school, keep dating throughout college, and Dean plays baseball. Whenever I want a fluffy fic to cheer me up, this is the one I read. I really love Dean in this fic - he’s come to terms with his sexualitty and he’s loving and caring and doesn’t give a rat’s ass what anyone thinks about his relationship with Cas, and it heals my shipper’s heart. There’s also a hilarious misunderstanding with his baseball team.

Home is Where, 15k words, Explicit

Casual vagrant Dean Winchester blows into Palo Alto to check on his little brother. What is meant to be a quick visit ends up drawing out when he meets and accidentally ends up clicking with Sam's strange, grad student roommate Castiel.

Cas has Asperger’s Syndrome, and he and Dean are drawn together by a mutual attraction but have to figure out how to navigate each other’s strange ways. This fic includes a little bit of hot sex, plenty of misunderstandings, some hurt feelings, a lot of heart, and a happy ending. I thought that Cas having Asperger’s Syndrome was written wonderfully and with a lot of empathy, and the fic is actually told from Cas’ point of view part of the time, so it’s an amazing look into his world and what he’s thinking.

❤ it’s a lot like life, 21k, Explicit

There were rumors of liaisons between maids and their Ladies, of short-lived passionate affairs between servants and their masters, yes, but Castiel had never heard of anything that passed the test of time. Their lives were too different, and the world saw these relationships as a threat to the very foundation of society. There had to be those that had the power and those that served them, and love had a dangerous tendency to blur those lines. Castiel’s own thoughts were the best example. Lord Winchester had started to be a human being in his mind, a person he cared for not because it was his duty, but because he felt a bond to him.

Dangerous indeed. And impossible given Castiel’s proclivities. He didn’t think his Lordship would react well to his fantasies of bending him over his desk.

This is basically a Downton Abbey AU, and it’s SO, SO good! It feels a lot longer than it actually is, because it’s wonderfully written and the time flow and character development feels so natural. The relationship between Castiel and Dean is sweet and earnest and also really sexy. Seriously, this fic has a bit of everything - a semi-forbidden relationship, Dean in panties, and a wonderful, happy ending.

The Dove’s Long Journey to Champaign, 33.5k, Explicit

After four years of solitude on a remote island, Dean’s been through hell. But he’s home, he’s healing, and he has a very special gift for a man he’s never met. (Basically this is an AU of the movie Cast Away that takes place after the island.)

This fic is really sweet and funny - not too angsty, given the premise! Castiel is absolutely adorable, Dean is trying to figure out who he is and what his life’s supposed to be like after a life-altering experience, and Sam is supportive and wonderful. There’s hilarious parts, sweet parts, and touching parts. Possible trigger warning though: the fic does feature therapy, references to psychotropics and anxiety, and even discussion of past suicide attempts - but I thought it was all handled in a wonderful, inspiring way that helps show the importance of seeking help, minimizing stigma, and healing.

Now, here are some of my favorite random categories:

ANGSTY FICS/ FICS THAT MADE ME UGLY!CRY

Smoke in the Mirror, 50k words, Mature

It begins with the flier hung in the library: art model needed for thesis project, will pay. Castiel figures it's an easy way to make some extra money, but modeling for Dean Winchester ends up complicating his life far beyond anything he could have imagined.

Dean hires a nude model for his project, which turns out to be Cas. This fic is such a good slow burn, and the development of Dean and Cas’ relationship is natural and sweet and gratifying - until Dean’s project is finished, and they don’t see each other for the next 10 years. Oh my god, the pining. The angst. This fic shredded my heart. Don’t worry though, there’s a happy ending that will leave you crying with relief!

As You Pass Through Me, 30k, Explicit.

Cas has lived in this house all his life... and since his untimely death. The last thing he wants is a new roommate, but it seems he's getting one anyway.

Cas is a ghost and Dean moves into his house. Cas starts to fall for Dean, and despite all obstacles, Dean starts to fall for Cas too. There’s some dubious consent issues, since Cas kinda creeps on Dean before Dean is aware he’s there, so watch out for that if it squicks you, but the whole fic is really well done. There’s a lot of pining, but it has a happy ending and everything gets worked out!

Out of the Deep, 488k, Explicit

Stay away from the light-beds. Stay in the deep.

It is the first thing hatchlings are taught the moment their fans unfurl and they can swim without their parents to buoy them along. It is the first rule, the first law. It is the beginning of every boogey-monster bedtime story told when they settle against the cliffs to sleep.

Castiel should have listened better.

Another really popular and well-known fic, but I really enjoyed reading it. Even though I ugly cried through about 1/3 of it. There’s some slow burn and some sex and lots of feelings, but mostly there are just so many things conspiring to keep Dean and Cas apart, including the dumbasses themselves. I swear, sometimes I just wanted to fucking scream at them. But there is a happy ending and I was really satisfied with how everything finally worked out. Cas as a mermaid fin-kin is so awesome and beautiful - he sings, he glows in the dark, and he’s got sharp, badass teeth, what more could you want? Definitely a VERY LONG fic, so be prepared to dedicate a lot of time.

He Can’t Sleep, 19k, Mature

After Lucifer's possession, Castiel stops talking.

Ughhh, the tears I cried, so many tears. This fic is beautifully written and so poignant and it just really GOT to me, that these two idiots love each other so much but can’t seem to stop hurting each other, my heart just ached. There IS a happy ending, of course, but you’ll probably still sob the whole way through.

How a Righteous Man Raises a Rose, 5.5k, PG-13

AU in which the apocalypse and angels and demons never happen, and Sam and Jess and Dean live together in a suburban lifestyle -- and then suddenly, nothing is alternate universe at all. Told from Sam's POV. Dean is compelled to tend a dead rose garden, if only Dean could remember why; and remember why it is so important.

This fic killed me. I can’t even. It’s short but it packs a seriously powerful wallop. There’s a really interesting (but rather soul-crushing) twist, and there’s...not really a traditional happy ending. Definitely worth a read if you want a good cry, so just keep some tissues ready.

FUNNY FICS

❤ Mad at your Dad?, 7.5k words, Mature

Dean wasn’t sure why he was even scrolling through Craigslist. Especially not the casual encounters section. It was four days before Thanksgiving. Not like he was gonna try and hook up with someone before that shitstorm. After, sure, but not before.

He kept scrolling, though, not clicking anything until a title caught his eye.

Alone on Thanksgiving? Mad at your dad? I am a 28 year old male felon who has no degree, but has studied enough theologies of the world, behavioral psychology, and philosophy to set your whole family’s teeth on edge—no matter which way they lean, politically, religiously or in terms of neuroses. I drive a van the same age as me that’s got a mural on the side of an angel holding an orgy. I can play between the ages of 20-30 depending on whether I shave. I live off an inheritance, and sell weed on the side. If you’d like to have me as your strictly platonic date for Thanksgiving, but have me pretend to be in a very long or serious relationship (monogamous or polyamorous, whichever sounds most like it would freak out su familia) with you (and/or others), to torment your family, I’m game...

I laughed so, so hard. I can’t even tell you. Cas is DELIGHTFUL in this - snarky, sarcastic, and sometimes high. I don’t even have a favorite part in this fic because the whole thing was a fuckin’ riot. I’ve re-read this one multiple times and I still laugh.

Incredibly Single and Ready to Mingle, 3.5k words, Teen

Sam uses Facebook like the social media junkie he is. He's befriended literally every person he's ever had a conversation with since he got an account, which means that approximately—Dean checks—eight hours ago, he shared this horrible photo with something in the vicinity of nine hundred people. The caption below the picture reads “incredibly single & ready to mingle ;)” and roughly half of them have liked it.

Dean has never been so embarrassed in his life.

Short, sweet, and hilarious! Basically, Sam uploads a horrible picture of Dean to Facebook, and it ends up introducing him to Cas in a roundabout way. The description of Dean’s embarrassing picture had me cackling with laughter.

❤ The Fourth Wall series, 40k words, mostly Teen

In which Sam does another sort of research, and Dean is amused.

Basically, the boys end up reading fanfiction about themselves. This is HILARIOUS - Sam is mad there isn’t as much fanfiction about him, Dean has to explain the dynamics of ‘topping’ and ‘bottoming’ to Cas, and Cas just wants to know how the mpreg fic ends. The characterization in this fic is spot-on, and besides just the fanfiction crack, there’s a lot of other wonderful moments: Castiel is introduced to sweets, Sam gets tossed into a gross pond, etc. One warning though: this fic also features Sam/ Lucifer, if you’re not into that pairing...BUT that pairing doesn’t really occur until almost the end of the series, so I still highly recommend reading this and just skipping those parts if they’re not your cup of tea. Really, you won’t regret it. Just read the very first part and you’ll be hooked, I promise.

❤ An Exploration of Habitat, 11k words, Mature

Dean's afraid of heights, and Cas lives in a tree.

This fic is short, sweet, and a riot. There’s so many things and little details that made me giggle. There’s one part, however, that had me DYING. It took me completely by surprise and I don’t think I’ve ever laughed that hard about a fic. I still laugh when I re-read it. I don’t want to give anything away, so I’ll just say: it’s the part after Dean comes down from the tree, and Balthazar is reciting a “letter” that he wrote.

DARK FICS

Sociopaths in Love, 24k words

Dean buys Castiel as a slave and has a fun time viciously breaking him in. But what Dean doesn't know is that this is exactly what Castiel wants.

(Or, two sociopaths walk into a slave auction...)

Yeahhh, this one is pretty self-explanatory. Castiel is a sadist and enjoys it when he’s being hurt, Dean is a masochist and enjoys it when he’s hurting others, and it’s a match made in Heaven. Or Hell, more likely.

Bone trilogy, 29k words, Explicit

When Dean (raised from hell by some unknown force) and Sam stop the last seal from breaking, heaven decides to bring its own apocalypse. Late in the war, an angel with dark hair and striking blue eyes is captured, and Dean – Dean is his interrogator.

This is definitely dark, but it’s also brilliant. Humans are in a war against Angels, and Dean tortures them for information. The fic makes an amazing full circle – Dean has never been able to break an angel, but for some reason, Castiel is different, more susceptible, easier to reach, able to be broken when no other angel could be broken before. Why? The answer will break your fuckin’ heart.

Red Right Hand, 85k words, Explicit

“You’re one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan, Designed and directed by his red right hand.”

It all starts with the mysterious note left on Dean’s chair. It all ends with Dean coming to terms not only with what he’s capable of, but how much that knowledge doesn’t bother him.

Castiel is a serial killer who is infatuated with Dean. This fic is quite the wild ride, and it hits a lot of my kinks: protective!Cas, jealous!Cas, possessive!Cas, bamf!Cas. That being said, he’s a psychopath and he murders people, so yeah. Dean finds out eventually, and as it turns out, maybe he’s okay with it.

MOSTLY SMUT FICS

Unsolicited, 56k, Explicit

In which Dean Winchester gets an unsolicited dick pic from an unknown sender which is both totally not disappointing in that it's a really nice dick pic, and incredibly disappointing in that it's clearly a downloaded picture of his favorite porn star.

There's absolutely no way it's actually this porn star sending it to him, right?

Right?

Oh my god. Confident, tattooed, sexual, pornstar Cas is my JAM. This was great - lots of amazing smut, with some BDSM elements thrown in later, and of course, a good dose of feelings.

Dean Winchester, Straight Shooter, 15.5k words, Explicit

Dean Winchester, star of StraightShooter.com, is a gay-for-pay porn star with a huge following. Cas Novak signs on to do a scene with him, even though he dislikes "straight" porn stars on principle. But Dean is more complicated than he first appears, and after inadvertently learning his secrets, Cas finds himself falling for him.

This was surprisingly sweet for a fic about pornstars. Cas is earnest and wonderful, and Dean has his obligatory gay freak-out, but it all works out in the end.

Revealed, 11k words, Explicit

When a ritual backfires and Dean ends up with wings, they reveal things that he'd much rather keep hidden. Prompt fill.

An amazing wing fic that features both Dean AND Cas with wings. Damn. This fic. There’s some great possessive!Cas, lots of good wing kink, and a fascinating look at Heaven. Also it was really, really hot.

www.hardcorewings.com, 17k words, Explicit

When Castiel loses his job, he resorts to making wing fetish videos to make cash. Dean really likes them.

This is an AU fic where angels and humans live side-by-side, and some humans have a fetish for angels and their wings, one of those humans being Dean. Cas has enormous silver wings and goes into porn, and Dean finds his videos. Dean doesn’t know that Cas also has a crush on him in real life. This fic was great, I only wish it was a little longer, because the ending seems kind of abrupt to me. That being said, great read.

Except Thou Bless Me, 10.5k words, Explicit

Castiel is wroth, and Dean is having a great time.

This is a canon!verse fic where Cas basically beats the shit out of Dean, then fucks him, and Dean is totally on board for all of the above. There’s a good exploration of Dean’s time in Hell and his self-worth issues, but mostly there’s some really hot sex.

No Teasin’, Just Pleasin’, 7.5k, Explicit

The song is nearing its end as Dean pauses in the centre of the stage, fingers teasing at the waistband of his chaps. For the first time in his routine, he allows himself to look over towards Castiel’s table.

Gabe is watching with the air of someone who’s generally more interested in the feminine figure, but Cas?

Cas looks like he wants to eat Dean alive.

This was excellent! I love stripper AUs so much, and this one definitely stands out from the crowd. Dean’s characterization is wonderful and charming, and it was a fun (and hot) read all-around! (Did I mention it also features Dean in panties?!)

TRUEFORM!CAS FICS

❤ Cruel Angels series, 107k words, Explicit, WIP.

Well. The Apocalypse was one thing. Thousand-foot-tall multi-limbed horror-angels smashing up the planet was something totally different...

Fantastic series so far. The characterization is great, the writing is wonderful, and it’s got everything you could want in a trueform fic: grace-powered orgasms, wing kink, and a description of Cas’ trueform that will amaze and horrify you (think multiple limbs, wings with eyes, and a terrifying mouth in his neck). At the heart of all that, Dean and Cas are still themselves, trying to figure out what the hell they mean to each other, and Cas is still his lovable self, even when he’s an enormous creature.

The reach of human sense, 4.5k words, Explicit.

“You know what Jimmy Novak looked like. You think he was beautiful—gorgeous, hot, all of it. It’s him. Not me. This isn’t my face.”

“But,” Dean says. He doesn’t know where he’s going with it. Just that Cas’ face is right there, brows drawn together and cheekbones gleaming in the lamplight. It’s a face that’s made his heart skip probably a couple hundred beats collectively since they met.

And it used to belong to someone else.

This fic scratched my trueform itch soooo good. It’s always niggled at me that Cas is technically still using Jimmy’s appearance, and if Dean is attracted to him, how much is physical attraction simply to the vessel and how much is attraction to Cas? This fic addresses these issues wonderfully, and Dean is accepting and reassuring and there’s a little bit of praise!kink, and I loved it. Everyone should read this one.

A Beginner’s Guide to Communing with the Dead, 77k words, Mature

Maybe it's the little girl whose disappearance turned into a murder, and whose murder turned into a cold case, and who has now apparently decided to move in with him. Maybe it's the unacceptable hole left in his life when his dumb best friend and partner in (the prevention of) crime decided to go and get himself killed. Maybe it's his brother, whose high-profile career and fantastic girlfriend and first-child-on-the-way are steadily leaving Dean in the dust. Pick one. Pick all of them. The why doesn't matter so much as the what, and the what is this: Dean is pretty sure he's going completely, certifiably insane. Sure, he hasn't started wearing all his clothes inside out, and he still showers on a regular basis (anyways, that's not crazy, just a little eccentric); but there's no getting around the fact that he just threw away his life, his career, and his reputation by dragging out his mom's old necromancy book and summoning a Class A Forbidden Entity to his attic. A cranky one, too. With horrendous bed-head.

I had a hard time deciding where to put this fic - AUs? Cop/ detective fics? I finally decided on trueform fics because this fic has, hands down, my absolute favorite description of Cas’ trueform. The author really makes you visualize it, the absolute scale and magnitude and power and otherness of Cas’ trueform, and it’s awesome. I read that part over and over. As for the rest of the fic: Dean is trying to solve a case, he summons Cas to help him, and their dynamic is snarky and occasionally touching and delightful to read. This was such a cool AU too, with magic and creatures but still set in a modern-day setting.

DETECTIVE/ COP FICS

I am such a sucker for cop or detective fics, you don’t even KNOW.

What Once Was Sacred, 55k words, Explicit

Los Angeles detective Dean Winchester works tirelessly to atone for the sins of his father one case at a time. When his best friend Charlie drags him to visit Sam at his new job, Dean stumbles onto a bizarre string of deaths that brings him uncomfortably close to his past.

Dean can't stop thinking about Castiel, an enigmatic DJ who plays the sexiest music Dean's ever heard. A chance encounter at Castiel's house reveals that Castiel is an incubus, and Dean must face the lies and the reality of his childhood as a hunter. Dean comes to see that he and Castiel have more in common than he thought, and that guilt can be the hardest thing to cast aside.

Beautifully written and it sucks you right in. Dean is a detective and Cas is an incubus, but it’s really different than you might think - Cas doesn’t necessarily like the influence he has over people as an incubus, and he goes to great lengths to avoid hurting people. I love the whole concept, and when Dean and Cas finally get together? Hottest. scene. EVER.

Kiss You When It’s Dangerous, 57.5k words, Explicit

When his partner Uriel, betrays him, Federal Agent Castiel Novak is saved from becoming a ritual sacrifice by brothers Dean and Sam Winchester. Discovering the world of the supernatural and learning about werewolves, wendigoes, vampires and things that go bump in the night also leads to learning more about Dean and the strange life he and his brother lead. The more he learns, the more Castiel finds himself drawn into Dean’s world and toward Dean himself.

Until Uriel wants to complete the ritual he started.

I LOVE still-a-hunter!Dean and agent!Cas. This fic was wonderful because it reads almost like an actual episode - Sam and Dean hunting and doing what they do, with Cas getting roped into that world on accident. The attraction between Dean and Cas is wonderful, there are parts with Dean is adorably worried and protective, and Sam is fantastic. Great read all around.

❤ ‘never see it coming’ series, 12k words, Explicit.

“Sorry, sweetheart, but I’m going to need to borrow your car.”

This features still-a-hunter!Dean and detective!Cas, who gets caught in the middle and pulled along for the ride...until the second part, where HE is the one tracking down Dean. This fic hit every single kink in my repertoire, I’m not even exaggerating. Dean is resourceful and clever, Sam is exasperated, and Castiel is a fucking badass who literally stops at nothing. My only complaint? THAT IT WASN’T LONGER. I need another 100k words in this series, pronto.

The Good, The Bad, and the WTF: Ice and Advil, Bitch Edition. 2/5/2019

The Road to Wrestlemania rolls on and Elimination Chamber is coming. What did the red brand do to give us hope for the upcoming February event? Let’s find out with some of The Good, The Bad, and the WTF: Ice and Advil, Bitch! Edition.

The Good: As usual, Becky Lynch puts forth an effort that makes some of the rest of the show forgivable. Despite this being insanely predictable, it was rather enjoyable watching Lynch give Stephanie McMahon the business. Becky is really selling this knee problem well and her stubborn Irish temper even better. Her confrontation with Rousey backstage was even better as she maintains her trademark smirk while Rousey goes all psycho tough lady on her. While Ronda is still far from polished on the mic, she is at her best when she is in this mode. “Ice and Advil, bitch”. Simple yet great.

Fatal Four Way to determine #1 contenders for Tag Titles. B team vs Heavy Machinery vs Lucha Tamale Party vs The Revival. This was a perfectly fine match where everybody got a small chance to shine and there was pretty constant action as to be expected. I do have a couple questions though. Which show is Heavy Machinery on? And what’s the point of having The Revival continue to win the qualifying matches only to constantly lose their title match? The company has zero idea how to book tag wrestling anymore. Roode and Gable, while fine in the ring, aren’t good champs. The titles need a fresh gimmick behind them. For the love of god, give Dash and Dawson a chance to be the great heel champs they were in NXT.

Finn Balor vs Lio Rush. A battered Balor always fighting an uphill battle is the narrative we better get used to. It’s nice to see Rush get some ring time because he is actually very good. I assume we’re going to get a Balor/Lashley IC title match at EC. I’m into it. Side note: please stop giving Bobby a mic. There’s a reason he has a hype man. He’s awful.

EC3 vs Dean Ambrose. I don’t love EC3 as a babyface but this worked because Dean is a good heel and EC3 can work, despite not speaking yet. This interaction saved us from another abhorrent Moment of Bliss. Where is EC1 and EC2? He definitely looks like Creed fan who moonlights at Chippendales. Dean was on fire. The top 1% gets a sneaky win here, Dean goes nuts, and I dig it.

The Bad: ArmBar City vs Liv Morgan and then Sarah Logan. Making Ronda look strong I get, but they really hurt what should be a formidable female faction when they have them job like this. Fans already know Ronda is a legit badass and having her squash people is fine, but it should be the likes of the Alicia Fox and Dana Brooke given their status on the roster. Not the Riott Squad.

HugBoss vs Alicia Fox and Nikki Cross in a qualifier for Tag Title EC match. A couple problems here. None of these matches feel balanced. I want to wonder who is going to win. Each of these qualifying matches has been a no brainer. Also, is Nikki a face or heel? Can’t she just be crazy? That’s the fun of her character. They really missed an opportunity not having her align with Sanity.

Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins remain a team because they can bitch together about their suckage. That’s it. That’s the segment. I want my 10 minutes back.

The WTF: Dana Brooke turning on Natalya while she has her AirPods in. Poor Dana. She will never be taken seriously with this company.

Two weeks straight of Deep Thoughts and Self Loathing with Mojo. It’s not creepy. It’s not menacing. It’s not fun. It’s awful. I’ve never wanted someone to go away more. I’d rather spend 3 hours in the dentist’s chair than watch one more of these things.

So Kurt Angle isn’t retiring? What a god awful end to a middling show. Corbin and McIntyre look weaker. Angle looks confused. We still have no idea what the plan with Strowman is. I like Kurt. This felt like a proper time to let him walk away. I couldn’t possibly be less interested in a Mania match between him and Corbin or McIntyre.

Elias vs Jarrett feat The goddamn D O double G again. Look, I like nostalgia acts. It’s a fun way to break monotony sometimes. It should never be two or three straight weeks and this particular instance made zero sense because they were allowed to go over a guy who the company is attempting to build as a heel. Elias is a much better heel than face. I’m happy about that decision and I’m glad they didn’t have him lose, but why oh why did they have JJ and the Roadie best him to end the segment? Who does that help? Who likes it? No one. Also, Road Dogg, you are not a tag team champion and haven’t been for quite some time, someone kill With My Baby Tonight with Fire, and JJ can’t even do a quality kabong well anymore. If the guitar doesn’t break, it’s pointless.

Not a very good effort from the red brand. They can still right the ship with one more show before EC and I’m hopeful that happens. 2.5 Hogan Belt Whips because Becky rules and we finally got the Top 1% in the ring.

a snippet for you

Just to keep people’s interest, here’s a snippet from an upcoming paranormal trilogy of shifters, Toadwork Ahead. The trilogy, unnamed yet, will feature the stories of a trio of were-creatures (a lion, a tiger, and a bear-- oh my!) and the women who come to love them.

The first story of the trilogy, The Worst Vampire in the World, has already had a bit posted here, but since I’ve worked a little on the 2nd story, I thought it might perk a little interest :)

Chapter... Two? Possibly Three?

The bell on the front door jingled, indicating a customer had just entered, and Astrid poked her head out from the curtain to see one of those big shifters— the handsomest one, because of course it was— step inside. He was so big— tall, with shoulders muscled like an elk’s— that he seemed to make her little shop seem even smaller, the air close and thick.

His dark auburn hair was pulled back into a weird little half-ponytail at his crown. He should have looked ridiculous, but only looked ridiculously hot. Astrid swallowed, forcing the burgeoning lump down her throat before speaking.

“You haven’t been here before.” Oh, excellent start, she told herself, mental tone scathing. From the expression of slight surprise he shot her, she’d been even more awkward than she’d realized. “I’m nervous around new people. Sorry.” She forced a smiled that was more of a grimace and hoped she wasn’t creeping him out entirely.

But his face relaxed into a smile that had to have been banned on at least three continents, a beautiful curve of lips and teeth that had her palms sweating.

“No problem. I get that way, too.”

Astrid blinked in disbelief and chewed on the inside of her lip to keep from scoffing aloud. “Hello. Welcome. How can I help you?”

He ambled over, his gaze flickering around the shop and fingertips brushing over over the assorted sundries on the counter tops as he approached.

“I’ve heard you have a way with potions,” he said when he finally stood before her at the cash register.

Astrid blinked again at the realization that he was actually taller than her own six-foot-two height by several inches. That didn’t happen often. This close, she could see that his eyes were astonishingly beautiful— just like the rest of him— with a nucleus of golden amber clustered around his pupil and melting into a brilliant, almost lime green that itself darkened to a ring of deep bluish teal ringing the entire iris.

Her empathic power, usually so weak, chose that moment to kick in, and she closed her eyes to sense it more strongly. He felt… feline, but in a masculine forceful way, not a more feminine slinky manner. There was something primally focused about him; he was an apex predator, a peerless solitary hunter, a true king of the jungle. But there was also a playfulness, an easy grace and a fierce loyalty.

“Tiger,” Astrid breathed, opening her eyes to find him staring down at her.

Her empathic ability vanished, taking with it any clue she might have had to his reaction to her pronouncement. Some shifters were not happy to have their animal selves discussed, and took measures to punish whoever did so. She desperately hoped he was not one of them, because her self-defense game was not all it could be.

But he just gave her that unfairly lovely smile once more.

“You’re good,” he said easily. “I’m glad you’re a real witch, it’ll make this much easier.”

She exhaled a sigh of relief. No fisticuffs today. “What in particular needs to be easier?”

“I’ve heard you’re good with potions.”

“Potions, salves, unguents, lotions, philtres… if it can be mixed up, I can do it,” she replied confidently. “What are you looking for? Please don’t tell me you need a love potion, I will not believe you.”

An auburn brow arched in amusement. “In a way, I am looking for a love potion, though.” At her snort, he grinned and continued. “I’m looking for… I guess you could call it an anti-love potion.”

“Um?” Astrid tilted her head to the side while she puzzled that out. “An… anti-love potion?”

He nodded. “I want something that will turn people off and keep them from… “ Tiger-Boy grimaced. “From coming on to me. Relentlessly.”

Her eyes rounded in disbelief. “Relentlessly?”

“Without cease. Constantly.”

“That sounds… tiresome.”

“Tedious.”

“In the extreme.”

“In fact, I’m kind of surprised— no offense— that you haven’t…” He actually looked adorably confused. “You know.”

“Made a pass at you?” Astrid smirked. “I don’t make passes at anyone, so don’t take it personally.”

“At anyone? Ever?” Now he seemed amused, and curious. “Why not?” She rolled her eyes. “The one and only time I tried it, the guy was so horrified that he gagged. Learned my lesson from that, haven’t tried again.”

She thought she’d gotten past the hurt and humiliation of it, but nope, hello to the pain yet again. Astrid averted her gaze and busied herself with lining up bottles and pouches in no need of tidying, just to keep her hands occupied.

“What the fuck…” he muttered. “You’re not—”

He cut himself off, but she knew what he would have said.

“I’m not that bad?” She was, but it was sweet for him to have said it. Astrid shook her head and offered him her best close-lipped smile, the better to hide those teeth of hers. “Let’s get started on this anti-love potion. What are you looking for? Something to just mute your pheromones, or something nasty to actively repel the ladies?”

”Men, too.” He grimaced. “Let’s go with the pheromone suppression for now, and see how that works.”

“I’ll need a little while to think how to approach it,” Astrid told him slowly, her brain already firing with ideas. “Can you come back at the end of the day?”

“Yeah. Five o’clock okay?”

“Perfect. And bring a shirt you’ve worn for a while. Something that you’ve sweated in… lightly,” she added. “I’m going to have to sniff it a lot, so don’t bring me anything that’ll gas me unconscious.”

“Got it.” He was smiling at her again as he turned to leave. “Thanks for your help. This is going to be interesting, even if we can’t find something to work.”

“Oh, we’ll find something.” Astrid gave an airy wave. “I’ll figure it out. By the time I’m done with you, you won’t be able to get arrested in this town.”

He barked out a laugh and waved back as he departed, the door jingling shut behind him.

Astrid let out a breath and slumped onto her stool. God, but retaining some composure had been difficult. The man had industrial-grade sex mojo, that was for sure. She wondered if she could convince him to let her use his pheromones for an actual love potion; it would be a best-seller, for sure. The men would flock from miles around to buy that level of potent attraction.

Of course, it didn’t hurt that he was gorgeous, with a good personality. But the chemicals he was exuding… Astrid had broken out into a light sweat, and felt itchy and restless in her own skin. Heat pooled between her legs, and the tips of her breasts were tingling. The man was a force of nature.

And she had to un-sexy-fy him.

It might not be possible.

Pros and Cons Ch 14, Never Try to Con a Con

A/N: Hey, everyone so a couple of things, one, this is the next to last chapter of this fic. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna come back to this world down the road. I like it way too much and didn't get a chance to really play in it since I was so involved in the back story. Number 2…I'm going to put a couple of fics on "Fall Hiatus." I go into more detail on my author page, but those stories are NOT dead. The three are Casey & Walker, Buy More High, and Chuck V2. As soon as I can, I will tell you the new project I'm involved with, but it's gonna be a bit. We have to make sure it does come to light first and that requires some prework. So I'll probably be posting only a couple times a week for a bit, again I apologize but if this works out….I've already said too much. Get ready, I give you Pros and Cons Ch 14, Never Try to Con a Con

Disclaimer: Don't own Chuck, and seriously…couldn't they have given Hannah a last name?!

"You look lovely in that dress tonight," the tall dark haired man in the suit said to Sarah. "You look amazing in red."

Sarah murmured a thanks, while she ignored her date as she listened to the voice in her ear. She didn't want her date to see her smiling. The voice continued on. "I mean tell me why would you ever take a job that keeps you away from the person you love or risks that relationship."

"Isn't that what you're doing right now?" the female voice on the other end countered.

She could see in her mind's him make a face of disbelief. "Are you kidding me, there is no way I'd ever do anything to lose what I have with Sarah."

"But she's nothing like you. She's into so many other things that you aren't, and she knows nothing about that stuff that interests you."

"But she does," the male voice countered confusing Sarah. "Because she interests me, and no one knows Sarah Walker better than herself."

"You can't believe it's real." Sarah stiffened at that. "You know it has to be a con, right? Sure a long con, and maybe not what she originally was after, but a con nonetheless."

"Hannah, she can have every freaking dime I ever make, Sarah Walker is my life, and I love her, the same way you love Daniel, and you hate the idea that he's going to try and sleep with Sarah. Trust me, you have nothing to worry about."

"Good boy, Chuck," Sarah murmured to herself, he was doing his job, and now it was time to do hers.

-ooooo-

A week earlier.

"Good work, Team." General Beckman looked very pleased on the monitor. "Now, for the next part of the plan, you will go to a museum…"

"Excuse me, General," Chuck said, cutting in. "I believe you have skipped a step." The General looked confused. "Sarah's dad."

"We are working on that, Chuck," the General said like it was over. Chuck nodded, turned, and walked out of the room, with Sarah following after him. "What was that?"

"That was Chuck's negotiating technique," Casey said. "I suspect he and Walker are about to go mix their chocolate and peanut butter. That is if his sister doesn't walk in on them."

Ellie rolled her eyes and fluttered an eyelid all at the same time. "I'm not going anywhere near those two. I can never unsee what I saw."

"It's obviously Chuck's fault for not putting a sock on the door," Bryce ribbed.

"You'd think Walker has a thing for people walking in on her," Carina smirked. Bryce turned red as Carina appeared quite proud of herself.

"If we could talk about anything but my brother's sex life, that would be great." Everyone was smiling at Ellie. "General, he's gotten a little confidence about him the past few days and I don't think he's going to back down on this one."

Carina grinned and couldn't let this one slide. "Just tell it like it is, Ellie, Chuckles got his mojo back and Blondie's the one giving it to him…and him to her."

"Ugh," Casey grunted. "Graphic reenactments aside, they're right, General. Nothing short of Jack Burton is going to make those two happy."

"Well," Carina began. Casey shuddered and walked out. The general frowned, and cut the feed.

-ooooo-

"Have I mentioned I was an idiot lately?"

Sarah sat up and gave Chuck a questioning look.

"For thinking you couldn't love me." She narrowed her eyes, thought about it, nodded reluctantly and snuggled back against him.

They had been laying in their bed in their room, waiting for someone to yell about what they had done. However, no one showed up, and when they left their room, the house was empty. They had dinner, waited around for a while for someone show back up. No one did, and eventually they went back to bed. Chuck had been contemplating taking the day off and just staying home with Sarah. He currently had his arm around, her, rubbing her shoulder as she cuddled into him.

"Careful how you talk about my nerd." Chuck heard the warning in her voice and grinned.

Since they had gotten back from the "Ellie Incident" at the studio, Sarah had moved into his room, and they weren't even trying to play it cool. There had been too much lost time, too much confusion over who they were to each other, and too much general drama. They were going forward, together, and anyone who had a problem with it, could deal with it. It had been like a breath of fresh air for both of them. A knock on the door made both of them slightly groan. "Come in!"

The door opened and Jack Burton peaked his head in. "I really don't need to see you two…well…you know." Sarah's mouth was opened, and she was speechless.

"Dad?"

"Yeah, apparently you two pulled a little stunt and got me out." Sarah glanced at Chuck, who shrugged. "I see you two have figured some things out." Sarah nodded. "It's about damn time." Sarah got out of bed, and went over to her dad. She stopped right in front of him. "I have been the god-awfullest father in the history of fathers, but I'm hoping we can work on that. No more cons, darlin'…well." He got a grin on his face. "Except what we're doing to Jill Roberts." Sarah nodded and wrapped her arms around him. "Missed you, darlin'."

"Missed you," she whispered.

"Me too," Chuck called from the bed.

Jack released Sarah and stared at him. "You better treat her right."

"He does, Dad."

Jack grinned. "I know, I just enjoy scaring the schnook."

-ooooo-

The team found themselves in the conference room yet again with Jill and her uncle Bernie. Bernie seems as excited to be there as they did. Jill had a smile on her face that made Chuck cautious. He glanced at Sarah; the look on her face mirrored his feelings. He grinned at her. The wink she gave him in return said it would be fine, they had it. They had basically had a conversation without saying a word, and when they turned toward Jill, it was clear she was upset at how in tune they were with each other.

"I don't know if you can handle this next assignment," Jill began. "Don't go getting mad at me. I can get two people in, but what I can also do is get two bachelors in that will be bid on. I can fix the silent auction where Sarah and Hannah can win the bid for Chuck and Daniel Shaw." Chuck's hand shot up. Jill rolled her eyes. "Yes, Chuck?"

"Why do we need Hannah and Daniel Shaw, and what is Hannah's last name?"

"Because, Chuck," she began patronizingly. "Four people are better than two, and if something goes wrong I have a backup team inside. I don't know what Hannah's last name is." Chuck's hand went back up. She nearly gave herself a concussion rolling her eyes this time. "WHAT?"

"Why not Carina and Bryce, and who hires someone without knowing her last name?"

"Because I said so and because she's like Cher, or Madonna, or Sting." Chuck's hand went back up. "WHAT!"

"I don't like your plan, and you left out Gollum."

"I don't care," and with that she stormed out. Bernie looked at Chuck and Sarah, grinned at them, and left.

"'Sting' made me think of Bilbo and then I thought of Gollum," Chuck explained to no one in particular.

Bryce leaned across the table. "Beckman?"

Chuck refocused, nodded. "Beckman."

-ooooo-

"Daniel Shaw and Hannah are known in the spy world as the seduction couple," Beckman began. Chuck's hand went up. "Yes, Chuck?"

"So two things, she really doesn't have a last name, and are they really a couple, couple? Because, well…I guess they don't actually do the deed."

"Do the deed," Sarah mumbled under her breath, trying not giggle.

Jack shook his head and leaned in toward his daughter. "This guy? Seriously?" She turned toward her father with a smirk on her face. He shrugged and pulled back. When she turned and she couldn't see him he grinned, happy.

Beckman took a deep breath. "Mr. Bartowski, in cases of my agents you would be correct. There are those that might, 'do the deed' as you say, but that is their choice. However, these two are known for seducing their target for the sole purpose of getting blackmail material, or splitting up couples."

Chuck's brow furrowed. "Why them for this mission then?" Jack gave him a look but Chuck wasn't paying attention. Sarah turned to her father, grinning. Jack shook his head.

"Uh, Chuck, buddy," Bryce began as gently as he could. "Who here does Jill have an issue with?"

"Oh, Sarah, but how would Jill go about it? Sarah and I are going to the party together."

Jack sighed. "May I?" The General nodded, knowing this was going to be good. "Listen closely. Jill is going to switch the bids. Hannah, with no last name, we know," Jack quickly added before Chuck could comment. "She will be your date, and Daniel and Sarah will be the other couple."

Chuck grinned and turned toward Beckman. "They are a couple, correct?" Beckman nodded. Chuck turned to Sarah, a grin covering his face.

"Oh, Chuck, tell me you're not going to," Sarah said, a satisfied smirk covering her face.

Bryce came over, and clapped his hand on Chuck's shoulder. "You are the only person I know that could pull this off. But if you don't…"

"I've waited for Sarah for what feels like forever, Hannah nolastname can do whatever she wants, and it isn't going to phase me in the least."

"And Shaw?" Bryce asked Sarah, his eyebrow raised.

"I mean if you go for that," Sarah said shrugging.

"Exactly!" Chuck said, and then he thought about it. The smile fell from his face and Sarah and Bryce were laughing. "Hey!"

-ooooo-

Jack was standing looking at the readout of the museum's blueprints, studying everything. Morgan handed him a folder with more specifics to study.

"Think you can handle this high-tech stuff?" Jack spun toward Anna who was working on her keyboard

"Think you can hack that computer system and get the doors open for Carina?"

Anna laughed at Jack. "You're worried."

Morgan scoffed. "Jack isn't worried." He turned to Jack. "Right?"

Jack put his hands in his pockets, and rocked back on his heels. "Not for the reasons you think." Jack pressed his lips together. "If I hadn't been stupid those two would have been together a long time ago. Now I'm worried too much time has passed."

"They're together," Anna said. Jack gave her a look and lifted his eyebrows once. "Oh, you mean married and together forever and ever." Jack gave a slow nod, his lips pressed together. "So, you're out of the slammer, what's the plan, because you have a plan, and Casey's in on it." Jack looked at her in surprise. "Let's just say I take care of Casey's phone at all times and sometimes he records things he doesn't know."

Morgan gave Anna a look. "Sometimes?" She shrugged.

Jack was laughing at the exchange. "How would he feel about that?"

"He'd probably grunt approvingly at me."

Jack threw his head back, laughed, and clapped his hands together. "Why do I think the three of us could team up and do some real damage?" She pointed to the headset, and he pulled down the mike. The camera feeds all popped up on the monitors. "Okay, Charlie, I see you, and Angel, I see you. Scratch your face if you can hear me." They both scratched their faces. "Now, you need to act mad, but not too mad, when you find out about the mix up." Sarah gave a slight head nod. "Charlie, pretend Sarah scratched your favorite space movie thingy." Chuck's eyes grew wide and Sarah tried to keep from snickering. "And here she goes, oh she's not even trying to hide what she's doing. Nice acting Charlie, you too Angel. Now keep them occupied while we run the sub-mission. Cop Face?" A grunt was heard. "Good I see you and I assume by that grunt you heard me." Casey nodded. "You're our eyes, if I miss something you let Red and Pretty Boy know if someone's coming. The vase is your target."

Anna muted her headset. "Do we have a backup plan if this goes wrong?"

Jack turned to her, grinned, and winked. "Does run like hell count?" In the monitor Sarah giggled, knowing what her dad was talking about. Chuck looked very concerned. "Don't worry, Charlie, my girl will save you." Chuck grinned. Jack turned to Anna and this time hit the mute button. "He's really okay with that isn't he?"

Morgan laughed and waved his hand. "Are you kidding me, he'd gladly let her do whatever she wants to him however." Anna and Jack turned toward Morgan. He thought for a second. "You know even as bad as it sounds I don't know that I'm wrong." Chuck had his eyes closed on the monitor and Sarah was trying to stop a laugh.

"Jack, I'm muting Morgan's mike."

Jack nodded. "Good call, Anna, good call."

-ooooo-

Sarah was trying not to groan in frustration. Daniel was about as charming as a chainsaw. "Can you stop for a second? It's really not working."

He looked surprised. "What's not working?"

She made an open hand circling gesture in his direction. "Any of this. At all. None of it. And besides, we both know you're here for the money, it has nothing to do with me or Chuck." Daniel tried to speak. "Shh, don't. Listen we both know you like Hannah with no last name." God, Chuck was rubbing off on her. She grinned at that thought. "Listen, you're in love with Hannah, screw the 'like' part, and this is killing you."

"You have no idea," he gushed out. Oh great, what had she done?

Chuck was making headway with Hannah with no name. But they had come to a sticking point. She had made a decision and he was having trouble talking her out of it. "Listen, Chuck, he deserves to know my last name."

"I mean I agree, but while your name is important, it's not. Whatever it is he calls you, that doesn't matter, what matters is he knows you. A name, is just that, something used to get someone's attention. I mean take Sarah, that's not her original name, but does it matter, no, because I know her. The person, do you understand?"

"But no one else knows it."

"And while that's huge it's not the end of the world. I know people that give each other nicknames and never call each other anything else but that."

"I'm going over there to tell him." She walked toward Daniel.

Chuck watched her go, and Sarah started walking toward him, grinning.

"So, Chuck you think names don't really matter that much?" The grin on her face was making his knees weak.

"Sure don't, Sarah. Because I know the person that you are, inside. And she is amazing, and wonderful, and I thank God every morning I wake up and see her."

"Schnook, you do realize this is an open channel? By the way you're turning red, I'm guessing no. What was her last name, out of curiosity?"

"I think she said Sam, but I wasn't sure."

-ooooo-

"Good job team, the serum retrieved from the vase by Carina is extremely dangerous, so thank you for using proper care." She closed her eyes in sheer frustration when she saw Chuck's hand raised. "Yes, Chuck?" she asked tightly.

"Is it something top secret, that can target someone DNA and then a weapon can be fired at them from thousands of miles away?"

Beckman looked at him like the village had just lost their idiot. "No, it's a fear gas, made by a scientist." She stared at the raised hand for a minute. "Mr. Larkin," she said through a strained voice.

"Any chance his name is Jonathan Crane?"

Beckman pinched the bridge of her nose. She studied them for a minute. Chuck, Bryce, and Morgan were all waiting expectantly.

"The scientist's last name is Jonathan," she finally said. All three jumped and yelled.

"CLOSE ENOUGH!" Morgan shouted. He turned to Chuck. "Dude, we've got our Scarecrow! That means you are Batman, which makes, Bryce Dick Grayson, and that makes Carina…." All three men turned toward her. She looked at them a little worried.

"Batgirl," they all three said at once.

"How did we miss it, with the red hair?" Bryce asked.

"I really thought Catwoman," Morgan added.

"Because I'm slinky, Morgan?" Carina asked with a wink.

"No, because of the whips," Morgan replied.

Chuck and Sarah's eyes both got wide. "Welp, I think we need to move on," Chuck insisted.

"Agreed," Beckman said, shaking her head. "Mr. Burton, what is next?"

"Volkoff Industries. The Russia branch." Everyone groaned. "What?"

"Casey will try and shoot everyone," Chuck explained. "Carina and Zondra will try to out-drink each other in Vodka."

"You should try Polish Vodka instead, it's better," Sarah said turning to the two ladies.

"Huh," Chuck muttered and then shook his head. "Also, it's cold. Very cold. Morgan will probably get a runny nose, cold."

"I do get runny noses," Morgan added.

"Team, you have hurt the Ring, if you complete this part it could easily be the tipping point in this war." Beckman grinned. "Plus, they are getting quite upset with Jill."

"That's a damn shame," Sarah mumbled.

"General, what about Hannah Sam and Daniel Shaw?" Chuck was grinning as he asked. Beckman rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"They have retired Mr. Bartowski. Probably because of your team."

"What can I say, General, love wins."

"I'm well aware," and with that she cut the feed. Everyone began to file out and Jack came over to Chuck and Sarah.

"You kids sure you don't mind if I stay here tonight?" Sarah smirked. "And I would like to thank you for the bedroom the furthest from your bedroom." Sarah grabbed her dad and hugged him. "Missed you too, Darlin'" he said softly. She released him, he nodded and backed away. She watched him leave the room.

She glanced at Chuck and grinned. "You know I've gotten a sister out of this and you're getting a dad." She kissed him on the cheek as he stood there grinning. He thought about what she said.

"A DAD?!"

Monday Night Raw Review: June 25th, 2018

Hey gang, it’s Monday again. I hope everyone had a great day/weekend. Today I got up really early and took my dog out and then watched the season 2 finale of Westworld (which got me FUUUCKED up, but that’s another story lol).

Based on what my twitter timeline told me about tonight, it might be an interesting show? I’m feeling a little uninspired tonight about the show, personally, but hopefully, the show will prove me wrong.

Let me know what you thought of the show! Was it terrible, or did you like it this week? What was your favorite match? I’d love to hear from you, about anything! Thanks for tuning in and reading and sharing. I’m super close to 100 followers (like 5 away I think!)

Sweaty Kurt Angle and Baron Corbin opened up the show tonight, only to be interrupted by Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley, who have sort of an interesting feud brewing. They both believe that they have the tools to beat Lesnar, but apparently, there won’t be a match at Extreme Rules anymore to determine Brock’s new competitor because of his “contract”.

Basically what this means is that Brock didn’t want to wrestle and give his title up, so he called Vince and Vince said ok. Ugh.

I think this is the main reason Raw, and WWE for that matter, has been faltering for the past couple months. There’s no Universal title on the show, which means that no stories can be written around it, and new feuds can’t be built. It sucks, and it’s really starting to affect my watching, as well.

The Revival vs. Lashley/Reigns

This is a rematch from last week. Why do we need to see this again?

The Revival need to prove that they are still relevant, and it’s unfortunate that separate injuries have kept them at bay, and they haven’t really been given a chance to be on TV since their return. This was never a team I saw much of, their NXT days were during the time where I wasn’t watching, but from what I can tell about them today, they hit their peak back in NXT.

This match is just a chance for Bobby and Roman to show off their egos, which Bobby needs, at least. Bobby’s feud with Sami ended at MITB 2 weeks ago, and pushing him into a match with Roman, or Brock, could give Bobby the spotlight he needs. He’s a big guy, always has been, and he needs to be showcased as one.

This match had no momentum going into it, and while the crowd loves to boo Roman whenever they can, they are dead silent otherwise. It’s gone on too long, and either team needs to bring something different to get the show rolling.

The Revival won with a roll-up on Roman? A little unbelievable? Roman losing on a small package is just hard to fathom, especially against a small guy like Dash Wilder, but at least the match is over. Next, please.

Curtis Axel vs. Woken!Matt Hardy

Ok, wait, why is this a great storyline now? Oh yea, because it’s actually interesting and funny and the superstars are selling it really well.

But this match is over in a heartbeat before I can say anything else.

Matt has been putting in time at the gym. He looks great right now. That’s it.

AoP vs. Local Talent

This is not a match AoP needs. Put them in contention for the title, not this.

We haven’t seen this team since their debut after Mania and I’m really wondering why! They were so dominating in NXT, and they’ve fallen short on Raw. I’m trying to remember if one of them was injured in their time off, but I can’t find anything that says so.

Titus Worldwide came out, too. Does anyone care?

FINN MAKING FUN OF BARON OOOH

...but I’m not a fan of that tag match. I know Finn is just going to lose again anyway, right?

Alexa Bliss vs. Natalya

In a super long segment before this match took place, Alexa and her friend Mickie James went off about Alexa not getting respect and thanking god for Ronda’s suspension. There was a long video package during this promo that took me out of the program, and it was basically just Alexa and Mickie picking on the crowd. Whatever.

Natalya came out with Nia and the match started.

A lot of weird moves and botches from Alexa. She did that standing double monkey flip over Nattie, and her knees are supposed to hit Nattie in the belly, but Alexa’s knees were nowhere near her belly at all!

Natalya was really putting on a clinic, debuting all of her best moves and ultimately, getting herself a win over the undeserved champ.

Put Nattie back in the title race.

6-Woman Tag- Riott Squad vs. Banks/Moon/Bayley

Ooh boy, are we actually getting the feud people have been asking for?

Last week, things between Bayley and Sasha finally exploded the way everyone had been hoping for, and this week, Kurt Angle says they have one more chance to get on the same page.

Sasha does the Meteora too much. That’s my first thought.

Ember Moon is fantastic in the ring. God I love her so much.

Personally, I’m tired of seeing the Riott Squad. All three women need to wrestle in singles matches more. The singles matches that they do always end with the other members of the team charging in and either distract the ref or attack the other woman in the match. It’s so played out, it’s tiring! It’s a trope that’s been played out too much.

Banks took the loss for her team, and Bayley straight up attacked her and threw her around the ring. The crowd loves it! Personally, I do, too! I feel like Bayley is always too much, but a heel Bayley is just what her character needs to find her way back to the top of the division. I think this has been a long time coming from Bayley. She had to endure years of being the weakest of the four horsewomen and being second best, and now she’s ready to show what she’s got!

The ONLY thing that ruined that moment was when her music played her out. It’s too preppy and happy for her recent actions.

No Way Jose vs. Mojo Rawley

I don’t care. I just don’t. And WWE is not doing a good job of getting me to care.

Strowman/Owens vs. Balor/Corbin

Well, after losing last week, Braun was tired of teaming with Finn and has decided to team with Kevin Owens tonight.

As I’ve probably mentioned a lot over the past few weeks, I love Kevin Owens right now. His unofficial feud with Braun is hilarious, and Kevin sells it so well.

And in typical fashion, I am in tears while Finn makes his entrance. Maybe I should make a post about him soon. It’d probably be long as hell.

FINN ALSO LOOKS SO TAN?!?

I am also really loving Corbin’s new look. His hair needed to go so badly, and the suits that he wears are really doing better things for his character. I don’t love the fact that he’s basically corporate Kane, but it’s fine for now.

Kevin tagging in Braun was so good. He just smacked him in the chest and ran. It was such a cartoon moment and I loved it.

Finn is finally being allowed in this match after Baron decides that he’s had enough. Kevin steals the momentum away from Finn and keeps him in a fierce chin lock.

Braun just literally squished Finn in a corner and Finn just melted out of the ring. My god.

This match kind of exploded as Finn and Corbin couldn’t get along. They ended up fighting all the way up the ramp and got disqualified. I mean, at least Finn didn’t take the pin. I just wish they’d let him win a match for once.

Seth Rollins vs. Dolph Ziggler for the IC Title

After suffering a hard loss last week to Ziggler after a distraction from Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins is looking to win back his title from Dolph.

I personally love this new angle. Dolph has been out of it for a while now, and the IC title scene is a great place for him to stay. Remember that feud he had with Miz about a year and a half ago? That was the greatest thing ever for Ziggler and Miz.

This current storyline is rumored to lead to a huge battle between Drew and Dolph, which is set to skyrocket Drew to a top position. It’s mostly because Vince loves Drew, but it’s also because Drew is a massive star now, and he belongs at the top. I’d love to see a program with him and Kevin, or him and Braun, or Roman, or even Finn.

Rollins seems to be controlling most of the match so far, but how long will it take for Dolph to fight back?

Not long it seems as Seth focuses on Drew for too long, allowing Dolph to get up tackle Seth. This is where Dolph’s collegiate-style will come into play as he finds a way to tucker out Seth Rollins.

This is exactly the kind of pace Ziggler likes. He keeps his opponents on the ground and wears them out with a headlock or a chinlock.

MICHAEL COLE JUST SAID THAT ROLLINS AND FINN ARE THE TWO OF THE BEST IN SHAPE WRESTLERS ON THE ROSTER WHO CAN HOLD A MATCH AND WHO HAVE BEEN PUTTING IN THE MOST WORK THANKS COLE YOU DID GOOD

Anytime Seth looks like he’s favoring a leg, I get super nervous. An injured Seth would not be good for business right now. I know he’s probably just selling it, but stilllll you guyssss

Rollins just reversed a whip on Dolph and he launched him into the turnbuckle, blasting Dolph into the corner. For a moment, it looked like Seth finally found his footing, but Dolph sent him over the top rope and crashing to the floor, hurting Seth’s wrist on the impact.

The match gets more aggressive as it continues, and the crowd is doing their signature “this is awesome” chant, which is something that Dolph hasn’t heard about his matches in probably a long ass time.

Seth was about to win the match, an incredible match by thE WAY, and Drew came back and pulled the ref out to stop the count. Dolph will retain because of the DQ. Dammmnnnnn

...Roman made his way down to stop the attack on Seth. Are we getting Drew and Roman?? I’m here for it. It better not be a tag match next week, though.

I feel like the last half of the show went by really fast. I guess I’m kind of thankful for that, considering there were a lot of filler moments and matches during the show. I was fine with Raw tonight, no strong feelings either way. I don’t know if I had a favorite match honestly. Did you? Let me know!

Tune in for more!

Casey
