Woo! Let's gooo!

11. Link your three favorite fics right now.

My fics, or fics I'm reading? YOU GET BOTH :D

Dreaming in Digital

Satin and Sawdust

Feels Like Home

In the Name Of by Darkhorse6

Off the Reservation by emwebb17 (the original cockles version)

The Client by narrativeimperative

20. Have you noticed any patterns in your fics? Words/expressions that appear a lot, themes, common settings, etc?

I have a specific way of breaking up paragraphs when I'm trying to emphasize things that sounds lyrical in my head. I've ignored a few of your beta suggestions to change them, because It Sounds Right This Way lol

Also, I usually have a weasel word or favorite phrase for every fic. It's different for every fic 😆

And I will find a way to get my characters in a bathtub or shower for an orgasm. Favorite setting, 11/10.

24. Worst writing advice anyone ever gave you?

I've got 2 things.

A very specific piece of feedback I got from my teacher in a creative writing class when I was in high school made me stop writing altogether for 14 years. I wrote a sad story about grief, and the teacher said it was too sad and that I should change the ending. When I tried to explain that it was supposed to be sad, she said "no one wants to read that" and I was like ok well I give up.

In general, I fucking haaaate any time someone tells me that I'm struggling to write because I'm improving and now I can see all the flaws. First of all, fuck off. Second of all, okay so what's the advice?? It doesn't help to know without getting some advice on how to get past it? THIS IS NOT ADVICE, AND IT IS NOT COMFORTING.

Sorry, that one gets me really heated lol

65. Tell us about what you’re most looking forward to writing – in your current project, or a future project.

Oh oh oh, this is a fun question!

In Reaching Out I am vibrating out of my shoes to get to the Arishok fight. Literally everything revolves around that scene. It's important to Hawke, it's important to his romantic relationships with Fenris and Anders, it's going to be bloody and scary and I CANNOT WAIT. Unfortunately, I cannot write out of order, and it is my carrot on a stick scene, so I can't share too much of it publicly or my brain will be like "ok done" and I'll never get back to it. But you know 😁

I've got a few scenes I'm looking forward to in The Sun, The Moon, and The Night. I'm planning a scene where Astarion has to rescue Kes and Cael, and he ends up very badly hurt in the process. Worse than he thinks, because he's used to being able to heal faster than he can with the tadpole. Also, there's a scene in Act 2 where Astarion gets to witness just how powerful Kestrel's magic is when he brings rain to the shadowlands for the first time in 100 years, but it's for a sad reason that I hope makes people cry. Also, like, ALL of Act 3. SO MUCH fun stuff in Act 3. Including the introduction of the 3rd Tav brother 😆

does anyone have the original Angel Slayer by emwebb17?? Before she changed the names and stuff??

emwebb17 has deleted the angel slayer series and this is the worst day of my life

[secretartistg]

I was checking out some of the other @castielbigbang submissions, and I couldn’t resist drawing something for this one: Castiel Novak, Tomb Raider by @emwebb17! (I can't seem to @ her though?? Bleh I'm bad at this) http://archiveofourown.org/works/10659540 It was so cool! I felt like I was watching an Indiana Jones, but with Cas instead. And all the mythology is so well crafted! Definitely go check it out if you're into sweet adventure stuff and Destiel. Thanks for a good read, emwebb17! :>

[profoundbondfanfic]

Hello there!

Can you please recommend some of the angstiest, filled-with-pining, slowest burning destiel fics (91w-esque sort of)? I want to feel the pain and pining (and eventual happiness).

Thank you! Have a lovely day <3

Hey there! Here are a few:

I Wanna Get Outside (Of Me) by emwebb17 (Explicit, 142k words)

Dean is a novice in the dom/sub world asked by his employer as a desperate last resort to be a sub for his recluse of a brother, Castiel. Castiel is a diagnosed OCD suffering from PTSD and agoraphobia, mysophobia, and dystychiphobia. Needless to say—he’s a mess who hasn’t stepped out of his home in literally seven years. The only times Gabriel can see traces of the way his brother used to be is when he feels in control—specifically when he has control over a sub. However, due to his idiosyncrasies and paranoia, keeping a sub around has been impossible. Enter Dean, who’s not a very traditional submissive, to try his hand at subbing for the hermit.

For Evermore by casblackfeathers (Explicit, 110k words)

There's no place like home. This was a line Castiel used to know by heart when he was a kid, watching The Wizard of Oz and believing fairytales were real. At thirty-one years old, he isn't a kid anymore, and it has been twelve years since he has known what home feels like. Twelve years. That's when his world had come crashing down and he had left his hometown, Holly Springs, with the broken pieces of what he once was to build a new life in San Francisco. But as circumstances force him to come back to the only place he swore he would never return to, Castiel is finally forced to face everything he once knew and loved. Especially when said everything is made of spring-green eyes and a stardust of freckles, wrapped in all the memories Castiel was not able to erase from his heart. After twelve years, Dean is as mesmerizing as Castiel remembers, but the scars of what was broken still run as deeply as the marrow of his bones, and Castiel will do everything he can to protect himself. After all, his favorite movie also taught him that 'until hearts can be made unbreakable,' he can’t listen to his own.

Memories Bring Back Memories (Bring Back You) by sobsicles (Explicit, 66k words)

When he wakes, he has no idea who he is. Not his name, what he looks like, or why he’s flat on his back, staring up at the stars littering the night sky. The first thing he learns about himself is that he has shitty instincts, especially if his first one is to protect the blue-eyed man currently stabbing someone in the face. Or, the story where two strangers can’t agree on much and know even less, but they’re both fairly certain that they’re in love.

On The Other Side by crowleyhasfeels, QuillsAndInk (Explicit, 63k words)

While deployed in Afghanistan, Dean Winchester writes letters to a girl who he's certain isn't listening. By chance, they are found by Professor Castiel Novak who takes the time to reply. Thus begins the tale of a man dragged back from the brink of destruction by the shattered pieces of one person he doesn't know how to love. This is a story of brokenness, love and triumph. This is the story of Dean and Cas.

Out of the Deep by riseofthefallenone (Explicit, 488k words)

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.

Pick It All Up by thepinupchemist (Explicit, 126k words)

Army veteran Castiel Novak is a wreck after his tour in Afghanistan, brought home to his brother’s apartment in Lawrence, Kansas with scars both mental and physical. He copes poorly, and during one night of bad decision making, meets somebody just as much of a disaster as he is – a prostitute named Dean Winchester. And suddenly, two damaged men might not be as irreparable as they believed.

Quarantension by everandanon (Explicit, 293k words)

In which Dean and Cas weather quarantine together like any Good Friends would — by developing outstanding skills in self-deception and providing all the casual affection and strictly platonic* orgasms the other could possibly need to make it through.**  *Really not platonic **Spoiler: They need a lot.

Redemption Road by Various (Explicit, 652k words)

With Castiel having set himself up as the new God, drunk on power and volatile as a nuclear reactor, Dean, Sam, and Bobby find themselves on the run from the jealous, capricious monster wearing the face of their friend. Desperate for protection and wary of his brother’s mental state since Castiel unlocked Sam’s memories of Hell, Dean knows Castiel must be defused before he can wreak further havoc in Heaven or on Earth. Although Bobby advocates for destroying Castiel by whatever means necessary, Dean is convinced the Cas he once knew still remains, buried somewhere beneath the mass of poisonous souls and calling out for help. Determined to save the angel who once rescued him from Hell and redefined his purpose in life, Dean himself must resist the allure of the false deity vying for his obedience, and come to terms with the knowledge, long-suppressed, that his feelings for Castiel run much deeper than brotherhood. It is this bond, and the dubious distinction of the Righteous Man, that will ultimately grant Dean access to where Castiel’s grace languishes in Purgatory. However, what Dean brings back with him is broken, angry, and only half-angel, certainly not the Castiel he remembers—and nor is it the only thing that returns to Earth with them…

So Says The Sword by komodobits (Explicit, 85k words)

The briefing was simple: ‘Stand guard over the Michael Sword until the battle is ready to commence. Await further instructions.’ Castiel doesn’t mind working security duty; he was briefed shortly after the initial salvation of the Sword from the pit, and again before taking up his position. He knows what to do. However, it’s easy to forget that the green room isn’t real. Time moves differently there, the space ever-changing to make a prison of mountains, cathedrals, salt flats, orchards, and whatever Castiel was led to believe about Heaven’s greatest weapon—Dean Winchester is something entirely unexpected.

Stay With Me, Sweetheart by MandalaRose (Explicit, 142k words)

“Alright Cas, here comes the hard part. We’re gonna get you out of here, but we’ve gotta take the roof off and while we do that, we’re gonna have to cover you with a sheet to protect you from the glass. I’ll be right here though. I’m not going anywhere.” As he starts to drift away, he suddenly feels the press of Dean’s forehead against his own through the rough fabric and hears that warm, sunlit voice murmer quietly in his ear, too low to be overheard by the firefighters currently working to remove the SUV’s roof, “Stay with me, Sweetheart.” A single moment’s distraction ends with a serious car accident that leaves Castiel trapped in his vehicle. Fortunately for him, fire fighter Dean Winchester is there, never leaving Castiel’s side as the rest of his company work to free him from the mangled remains of his SUV. When the two meet again in the ICU, Castiel finds himself just as drawn to and comforted by the handsome fireman as he was during his accident. Dean is certainly attractive, but single father Castiel doesn’t have time or space in his life for a romantic relationship. Then again, there’s no harm in making a new friend, is there?

The Sawdust Men by linoresearch (Explicit, 123k words)

Castiel Novak is an inmate at a labour camp. Life is brutal and no one ever gets out. Castiel’s only goal is to go unnoticed by the barbaric guards, and the violent inmates. Dean Winchester is a soldier without a purpose since the civil war ended. Dean accepts an assignment at a labour-camp, under the mentorship of Alistair, the Commander. From the start, Dean and Castiel are drawn to each other, and their relationship develops in a way that changes their lives. But Alistair has his own plans for Dean, and Castiel is a complication. When Alistair fails to separate them through threats and violence, he turns to manipulation; feeding Dean’s confusion about his feelings for Castiel, and goading him into a terrible act in order to break him. As Dean and Castiel try to fight back, they uncover secrets that are more far-reaching than they ever imagined. In such a dangerous world, can they ever be together? Can they even survive?

the kind of instant connection Jensen + Misha have in that Angel Slayer fix, the intensity of their bond, can anyone recommend destiel fics with that sort of bond in them? Thank u!!!!

[for-convenience]

Just an FYI.  I posted a “non-fandom” version of Angel Slayer and White Collar (and the timestamps) on AO3.  So if you liked the story enough to read it with original characters, it is there.

Angel Slayer

White Collar

[dom-cas]

Hey @vallisagarwaen, pretty sure it hadn’t been published when we made that list? It’s a wonderful fic and I (sub!dean here) do recommend it most heartily: “I Wanna Get Outside (Of Me),” by @emwebb17. Enjoy!
