transcription under the cut

a dream that i can live in

In the early hours of the night, in the still and silent darkness, I sit awake envisioning the life we could have created. The life we should’ve had together.

I see me retired. With my hair grown out, my belly rounded, and my hard edges have been dulled by time.

My hands are calloused. Not from gun slinging nor grave digging, but from wrench turning and guitar playing.

I see you standing in a lush garden, hands lovingly working into the earth. You're surrounded by a sea of blossoms, and it takes the very air from my lungs. You’ve never looked so beautiful to me.

I see us slowly dancing, swaying ‘cross the kitchen floor on our clumsy, sock-clad feet, as a crooning record turns in tandem with our shuffling feet.

We’ve got a home that I built with care. With windows where sunbeams can stream in. And there's a shaded wraparound porch, with a swing facing towards the west, where we can sit and watch the sunset.

And in the still and silent darkness as I am sat awake and dreaming, reality rears its ugly head and I recall the life we're living; Where you're gone and I am lost without you.

Announcing the 2025 Destiel Wedding Anniversary Valentines Zine!

Organized by @disabled-dean & @butch--dean

About the event:

A fan zine to celebrate Destiel's 4th wedding anniversary and the importance of fandom and community!

We do not intend to make any money through this, and will be offering as low-cost options as possible for the final project (a free e-zine, a low-cost option for printing it yourself, and/or a higher-quality physical copy). Should there be any leftover funds after production & shipping costs, we plan to donate any money to a charity (TBD - if you have a suggestion please let us know!).

We will be posting more info about how to order the zine at a later date!

The goal of this event is to create a place to come together as a community during this particularly difficult time. Such an important part of survival is community, and we wanted to create a way to foster connections, offer support, and celebrate the joy in life that feeds resilience & our day-to-day survival.

About the discord server:

Join us on the Destiel V-Day Zine 2025 discord "rehearsal dinner"! Our goal for the discord is to create chances to form connections with others in the fandom (through regular ice breaker convo topics), to share your creative projects, and as a community resource.

You do not need to join the discord to participate in the event, and you do not need to be contributing to the zine to join in! Everyone is welcome!

Submission Ideas:

prose & poetry (3,000 word limit)

art

graphics, collages, and edits

valentines

playlists

gift registries or other wedding planning materials

fandom histories

and anything else you can think of (that can be printed in a physical zine)

Please note that the e-zine will be available in both full color & black and white, but the physical copy is currently planned to be in black and white in order to keep costs down.

We will post more details about submission guidelines at a later date. Templates may be provided for some submission types, like gift registries or playlists.

Submissions
