Never Not Fantastic

Never Not Fantastic by thestoryinsideme Rating: Mature Word Count: 76k

When television star Dean Winchester makes a stop at the Rogue Wave Cafe, owner Castiel Novak initially takes notice - and exception to - the celebrity's presence in the all-but-forgotten beachside town where the age of the average resident is sixty-five. This is a story about love and love, about family, friends, and more than friends, about learning when to hold on and when to let go, and about maybe, finding some turtles along the way.

Fics that are written as love letters to certain places will always have a special place in my heart, and this fic is no different. The author takes such care in describing the small beach town where Castiel lives and works that you'll honestly feel like you're there as well (and you might even end up a little angry that you can't actually get a cup of coffee at the Rogue Wave Cafe). It's so clear throughout the story that Cas fits in perfectly in this town, and it's also made equally clear that Dean fits into this community just as easily.

Unfortunately, the road to happiness for Dean and Cas is bumpy--Dean is a mid-level actor, made famous for his starring role on a TV series, The Unnatural (sound familiar?). When he meets Cas, there's an instant attraction, but fear of ruining his career by coming out forces Dean to keep his relationship with Cas a secret--which causes friction with Cas, who's determined not to compromise any of his values. Both Dean and Cas make mistakes and hurt each other, but the love between them is always enough to make sure that they come back to each other.

There's a fantastic supporting cast in this story, including Sam and Gabriel as the respective cheerleader brothers. What really makes this story fun to me is the sweet mood that it maintains throughout--even at its angstiest moments, you never really doubt that Dean and Cas are going to find their way back to each other--their connection is just THAT profound.

Here's a commission piece I did for the awesome author Hans_On for her super cool fic "Influence"! It's an actor!Dean/movie producer!Castiel fic, which, as someone who studied and works with film, is freaking fantastic! It's a work in progress, so there will be more chapters (and a few more chibi scenes) to come! Go give the story a read!

I'd also like to take a moment to say how important it is that we support our film and tv show writers and actors who are striking right now for fair pay and working conditions. They deserve to be able to be fairly compensated for the hard work they put into their craft. Please check the WGA and SAG-AFTRA website for more information on how to help and show support!

does anyone realize how crazy it is to have the actor of a mostly headcanoned queer ship say the fans were never crazy and they were right all along after 10+ years of everyone just absolutely going nuts over the said queerbaited ship

I'm re-watching Supernatural. Three episodes in and here's what I noticed:

Dean's portrayed as this playboy (mostly by Sam) and yet, in the two cases involving a woman, they both sent him off with a kiss after the case, NOT because he has good pickup lines (one of them actually called him out on his shitty line) or he's hot or whatever, but because he's actually a good, kind man. He saved one woman's brother and another's son (and also, how good is he with kids? Sam acts all shocked as if Dean didn't single-handedly raise him. 🤦🏻‍♀️)

So anyway, I'm re-watching Supernatural and falling in love with Dean Winchester all over again.

Lost and Found

Lost & Found by fangirlingtodeath513, GhoulsnHalos (@fangirlingtodeath513,) Rating: General Word count: 5k

Castiel's somehow been coerced into attending the biggest Hollywood party of the year-his brother Gabriel's Halloween party. It's not his scene, but he figures with Charlie and her girlfriend there, at least he won't be alone. Dean Winchester is looking for a bit of anonymity and Gabriel Novak's party presents the perfect opportunity. No one will have a clue who he is and he'll get to spend one, blissful night as just another guy at a party. Everything changes when Castiel loses his cell phone.

Dean and Castiel meet at a Halloween party. They have a drink together, each unaware of who the other is and then go their separate ways. But life finds a way to bring them back together.

This fun story starts as a meet cute at a Halloween party. The characterization is on point, and the chemistry is off the charts from the moment these two cross paths for the first time, even though they're both in costume (no spoilers, but their costumes are awesome!) It also includes their first date, which is just adorable! I really enjoyed their flirting and playful banter, and I liked that though the story is mostly lighthearted, there are hints about the hardships each had to overcome to reach this point in their lives. As a bonus, several of our favorite characters make an appearance in this (Benny, my beloved), making the alternate universe this is set in feel more alive and vibrant. I would recommend this story to everyone interested in something soft and cute.

the way the absence of john winchester haunt sam and dean in ways that are more real than any ghost they have ever faced. the way john echoes so loudly in the narrative even in episodes he’s not mentioned, in seasons where he never appears. the way john possesses dean when he’s angry and sam when he’s grieving. the way john is the one true god of the narrative, the absent father who does not answer prayers or phone calls. the righteous man who does not break in hell but breaks down and hands his child a gun. john and the memory of his holy mary. john the prophet and his sacred text. john and his prodigal son that he knows has to die.
