#and watched spn from start to finish

[baby1967impala]

What’s a lil dululu between friends?

@shade-vermillion

[piratebay]

well that was it.

the end of one of the most cursed american soap operas.

i'm glad i didn't watch it end live. that would have let it have some sort of justice. giving it time to breathe allowed me to finish late what i had started late.

it somehow took me almost as long to watch it all as it did to actually air.

it has now been fortified for me that they actually did that. the writers actually took the show out back and shot it, just as easily as these characters "killed off monsters".

it took fifteen years to end in pretty much the exact same place as it started.

glib.

[stillinapartyhat]

ok i guess it’s time to watch the confession scene

The SPN boys perfect date with you

Masterlist

Sam Winchester

Probably a date at home, ordering food and watching movies with you, the while cozy treatment.

Picking you Up at your home and ordering the take away on some restaurat, picking a cofee and getting to the bunker with you.

Eating while watching bad movies, anything you want to see and laughing cause It's probably a bad horror movie.

Reading in silence with your bodies entaged and sharing little mischevious looks.

And of course, at some point you start to make out and now you are trapped with him, una le to go back home.

Dean Winchester

Riding with baby, no doubt.

Like Sam, he orders some food with you, but instead of going to the bunker, he gets you to a nice and calm spot, far from society and organize a picnic on top of the impala.

If the weather it's good, there IS probably a river or lake near by to swim.

If the weather it's bad you stay inside the impala, eating and playing cards,

And like Sam, he can get a little to much needy and even if you are outside on the lake or inside the impala, he Will start to make out with you and you Will end Up getting frisky on the backseat.

Castiel

Probably at first he doesnt get the concept of date s he follows you with your daily routines.

Now, that he knows what a deate IS, he realizes that his perfect date with you it's the thing that you already had been doing, rutinal things.

Such as cleaning and shopping groceries, anything that helps you with your chores.

And usually, this "dates" end up with a tender moment wich usually is a warm Bath.

So its just the two of you, rubbing each other rubing your sore bodies.

With a slow music playing on the background, bubbles, music and even some wine.

Gabriel "The Trickster"

A party, a buffet, even a brothel, since he can make every scenario posible, everything it's the perfect date, cause It IS with you.

So, you get to choose the when and the where, cause he can materialize It in any second.

He just wants to make you laugh and have a good time, even if it's with the most bizarre or the most common things, i picture this man as a total pleaser.

But, the two things that he Will do no matter what it's eat sweets and feed you with them.

It's his nly condition to make the evening perfect, have you on his lap and put a Candy on your tongue, maybe with his mouth.

Jack Kline

A carnival or a amusement park.

He still has the soul of a child so his perfect date would circle around fun.

Eating pop corn, playing minigolf, trying to win everything on the booths, you still don't know where he got the money,

If he makes you laugh then the night IS a good one.

He finishes the night with a kiss on your doorstep, he saw that on a movie and wanted to try It.

—

The night had started out as a stake out which hadn’t given any information you didn’t already have, on the way back to the motel Dean had started to doze behind the wheel and he’d pulled over, calling Sam to let him know you were both safe but gonna sleep in the car.

You’d started in the back seat alone while Dean stretched out in the front but neither of you could sleep so Dean had joined you in the back seat. Conversation had flowed as much as it could with Dean but as his overly tired brain had taken control the conversation had gotten surprisingly deep and prophetic; you’d learned more about him in those two hours than you had in a year.

Neither of you were completely sure how conversation had turned into a sloppy make out session but here you both were wrapped in one another and grinding on the backseat like you were horny teenagers.

You would be lying if you said you hadn’t at least thought about Dean in that way but neither of you had ever made a move so you’d left it at that. Now with his lips assaulting yours and his hands moving over your skin you were kicking yourself for not saying or doing anything sooner.

Dean was under you on the backseat and even while pinned under your straddled thighs he was most definitely still in control - one of his hands was tangled in the back of your hair and gripping while the other trailed up under your tee and found your breasts; he pulled your bra down under them and teased over your nipples while his tongue explored your mouth.

Your tee was removed quickly along with your bra and both his hands moved to knead and massage you firmly. His hands were rough, years of being a hunter and everything that came with it wasn’t conducive to soft hands but his touch stoked a heat inside you, working on his shirt and helping him take it off.

Neither of you spoke a word; you didn’t need to. A look, a glance, a lick of his lips while his gaze took you in and you were helping each other get rid of the remaining layers of fabric between you until there was only a light sheen of sweat on you both.

Dean pulls you close and slips a hand between your legs; his masterful fingers working over you while his lips sucked up light marks on your neck that would no doubt give Sam a clue as to what happened in the Impala.

You moan and rock your hips to his fingers, slick with your arousal, gasping as Dean slips them inside you and curls them against your front wall, rubbing quickly in a “come hither” motion. Your moans become louder as the feelings inside you become more intense and it’s little time before you’re mewling his name as you climax.

Dean groans against your skin and slows his fingers, withdrawing them slowly and bringing them to his mouth to clean up. Your eyes almost pop out of your head while you watch him taste you on his fingers and you have to remind yourself to breathe. He looks up at you when finished and smirks “Best pie filling I’ve ever tasted.”

A whimper escapes you when your lips crash together in a passionate and needy kiss; you trail a hand down between you both and wrap it around Dean’s cock, jerking him firmly until he’s moaning into your mouth and whispering every curse word and then a few more.

“Ride me…” Dean’s voice is commanding but there’s an edge of pleading with it.

You both shuffle a little and Dean reaches down into his wallet and takes out a condom; you were impressed he’d remember right now and truth be told you really didn’t care about any risks in the moment - you just needed him inside you more than you’d admit.

Dean moans quietly and rolls the condom down himself, moving his hands to your hips and moving you over him. His lips hover against yours as you reach down and guide his cock inside you, lowering yourself until he’s fully sheathed inside you.

There’s a moment between you; like you knew this was something you’d both wanted for longer than just this night. Dean swallows thickly and lays back fully to watch you ride him, his hands rest on your waist as you both begin to move. Your hands move to rest on Dean’s shoulders to steady yourself; his hips buck and snap up into you while you rock and grind your hips down.

The windows were cracked but not nearly enough to stop the condensation on them from your joint heavy breathing, panting and moaning. The leather seat creaks under you with your movements and the Impala rocks.

You moan Dean’s name, arching and rolling your hips as best you could when he sped up his own movements. There was an urgency to his hips, his breathing, his moans and grunts. The way his eyes were tight shut while his jaw was slack and his hands gripped your waist.

Throwing your head back, your hips grind themselves down and your pussy tightens around Dean’s throbbing cock. You both call out; Dean pushes deep into you with his release and holds you steady against him.

As the blinding pleasure slowly fades and you can focus on your surroundings again Dean lays you down against him and wraps his arms over you holding you close. Heavy breathing fills the space around you and still, no words need to be spoken as your lips find his again and this kiss is softer, slower. His hand cups your cheek, thumb stroking over your skin, making you shiver and he finally speaks with his voice in a quiet whisper.

“You’re so amazing…” more light kisses along your jaw. “So beautiful… I don’t deserve you…”

His voice changes a little and you nuzzle him “you deserve the world Dean…” keeping your tone quiet and soft, you kiss him and stroke his face. “Stop over thinking… let’s get some sleep and we can head back to the motel when it gets light… then you can sleep with me in my bed.”

Dean nods a little and looks in your eyes, a small smile plays on his lips and in that moment his cocky persona drops completely to reveal a vulnerable man who needed reassurance.

You sleep in his arms, never having felt safer in your life and as promised, when it was light you both dressed and went back to the motel where you fell into the semi-comfortable bed and held Dean for a few hours; stroking your fingers through his hair and pressing light kisses to his forehead before the day started.

back at the bunker

pairing: castiel x f!reader

word count: 5.1k (i got carried away sry)

summary: when y/n stays behind on a hunt, the brothers and cas figure she's safe back at the bunker, likely enjoying having a day free of her overbearing childhood friends and guardian angel boyfriend. when a phone call to dean tips them off to y/n’s kidnapping, castiel leads a ruthless hunt for the ones who took her.

based off this request! (i saw your request and ran with it.)

warnings: angsty to fluff, refusing to shorten castiel to 'cass', depictions of violence (nothing too gory), descriptions of blood and injury, angry cas, probably spn inaccuracies, unedited writing (oops)

-

"Relax, Cas, I'm gonna get you back to the bunker and to your girl quick enough. She's fine, probably took over the TV in my room to watch those girly movies she and Sam love."

Sam cuts his sharp look over to his brother, rolling his eyes as Dean tries to quell their friend's worry for his girlfriend back at the bunker. Castiel had been on edge since they began their trek back to the bunker. He had a lingering sense of doom he couldn't shake, not even after the success of their latest hunt. Cas knew he should trust Sam and Dean, and their judgement, they had known Y/N decades before she and Cas had met. They knew her well enough to know that she’d be fine alone in the well-guarded bunker. Taking out his phone, Cas pulled up her contact, smiling at the photo of them together attached to her profile. He started a new message to her:

Finished up the hunt. We’re all okay. Headed back to the bunker now.

Cas watched as the cursor waited for his next set of words. He hesitated briefly, trying to decide if he would say what he wanted. He and Y/N had been ‘dating’ (a word Cas hated, it didn’t accurately express their relationship in his eyes) for a little over a year, but he still hesitated when it came to expressing his emotions openly. His blue eyes read over the message again. Cas sighed, deleted the message completely, and started a new one:

We finished the hunt, we’re all unharmed. We’re headed home now. I miss you. I love you. Let me know you’re okay, Dean says I’m ‘panicking’ and being ‘dramatic.’

Cas sent the message without overthinking it this time, placing his phone back into his pocket and staring out the window again. Back at the bunker, Y/N looked up from the scene unfolding on (Dean’s) TV, turning to her phone that had just lit up with a new message. She smiled as she saw Cas’ contact, noted by the heart written behind his name. She read his message with a smile, his blunt but heartfelt sentences warming her chest in a sort of girlish glow. Her cheeks flushed pink as she began to type back. She was about to send her response to Cas when she heard the crashing noise downstairs. Her heart raced, hitting mute on the TV remote and reaching for the gun shoved in Dean’s nightstand. With silence filling the air now, she heard the talking of someone in what seemed to be the library. Her chest felt tight-they were close. The voices were unfamiliar-not Dean’s rasp, or Cas’ deep tone. How had anyone infiltrated? She’d made sure all the locks were secure, and the bunker was always under a supernatural lock. She calmed her racing breathing in a hope to hear the intruders conversation. The voices seemed masculine, rummaging about the library as if they were searching for something. Y/N peered over the side of the doorway, hoping to catch a glimpse of them without being seen. Two figures entered her eyesight-a tall, burly brunette, with biceps the size of melons. His sidekick was a scrawnier blonde who brandished an angel blade. Y/N shuddered-angels. She’d never had anything positive to say about most of them, always out to get her and the brothers. Castiel had always been an exception in her rules about angels.

Y/N diverted her attention to her phone as her shaky hands scrolled for Sam, Dean, or Cas’ contact. She heard a deep voice pipe up.

“You think she’s here still? Castiel could’ve tuned into angel radio, picked up some suspicion, moved her last minute.”

Y/N halted, her eyes widening. Her? Surely they weren’t talking about her. She feverishly opened her phone again, clicking Dean’s contact and letting it ring, praying he would answer. The other angel responded with a chuckle:

“No, she hasn’t moved. I have a feeling she’s about to be right in our grasp.”

Y/N didn’t even have time to gasp as the two angels appeared behind her, her entire sight fading to black in an instant.

-

In the Impala, Dean heard his ringtone sound, and he huffed as he drove with one hand and fished the device out with the other. His eyebrows raised as he looked at the name flashed across the screen.

“It’s ya girl, Cas.” Dean chuckled as he answered the phone with a snarky remark. “Alright Cinderella we’re getting your Charming there quick as poss-Y/N/N? Y/N?! HEY!”

Dean’s voice raised, concern slipping through his tone. Cas was instantly on high alert as Dean hung up the phone and stepped on the gas, making Baby push speeds far faster than the speed limit.

“Dean, what’s going on?! What did she say?!”Castiel’s voice was dangerously low, trying not to allow his nervousness seep into his words. Sam turns to his brother with a worried look painted on his face.

“She didn’t say anything, all I heard was her grunting and the sound of fighting. Someone’s attacked her. She’s in trouble, and I think I heard wings, it’s your kind, Cas.”

Cas felt anger overtake him, his protective instincts kicking in. He began dwelling on the situation at hand, mentally cursing himself. He should’ve stayed behind with her at the bunker, he could’ve protected her. What did angels want with Y/N anyway? It wasn’t like she had any information for them, Cas tried to keep her out of the angel realm as much as possible, to avoid getting her into situations like these. Perhaps he should’ve told her more, maybe she could’ve escaped.

“Cas,” Sam’s voice cut through his thoughts. “What would angels want with Y/N? She's not even on the ground with us most of the time. She doesn’t have anything for them to use.”

Castiel’s sapphire gaze was locked on the scenery passing by, speaking after Sam finished.

“She has everything. They can torture me, exile me, all but kill me and I will not fall to their whims. She is my weak spot, I would sacrifice all of man for her safety. They know that, and they’re using her to get what they want from me. What that is, I don’t know. But we will find her, and I will get her back, no matter the sacrifice.”

-

When Y/N came to, she quickly noted pain radiating everywhere. Her head pounded, arms aching from where she was tied to a chair in a dimly lit room. The flickering overhead light made her head spin, and she could feel the blood coming from her nose, the stinging of open cuts littering her face and body. She was dizzy and disoriented, but her adrenaline kept her awake. She was running through the mental checklist of her hunter training from years of running with the Winchester’s-be aware of all of your surroundings, don’t let your opponent catch you off guard, when in a fight, protect the head and vital organs as much as possible-she could practically hear Dean’s raspy drone rattling off the bullet points. Y/N didn’t know who had brought her here, or why, but she had every bet on Castiel’s feathered friends.

Her eyes scoured every inch of the grimy, abandoned room she was being held in. The roof leaked, the metal fixtures were creaky and rusted, likely due to years of just sitting empty. Y/N knew they had taken the gun she was holding back at the bunker, but they had most likely hadn’t stripped her of the knife in her pocket. It wouldn’t do much to protect her from angels, but it would get her out of these restraints. Through her clouded mind, she tried to think of a way to reach her pocket with tied hands, an intricate way to shuffle just enough to slip loose. Her thoughts halted when the metal door creaked open, her heart starting to hammer in her chest. It was the blonde angel, significantly more slimy-appearing than his brawny counterpart, and his shit-eating grin spread from one side of his face to the other.

“Ah, hello dear, seems you’ve finally waken!” His accent was thick, a Southern drawl that was sticky sweet despite his menacing gaze. “Sorry about all the roughhousin', but, well, you’re quite the sought after prize. Had to make sure we secured you without you slippin' from under us.” His mouth dropped from a wide grin to a slimy smirk, now far too close to Y/N for her liking.

“Now, I’ve got questions and you’ve got answers. It’s in your best interest to cooperate, sweet thing. Our little Castiel will come lookin' for you eventually, and I’m not too worried about returning his toys in proper condition.”

Y/N gulped but didn’t back down.

“What do you want?”

The blonde plasters on another slick smile.

“Castiel has wronged me, and now it’s time for his consequences. See, in the past, we could pick and prod at Castiel himself, or even one of those pesky Winchester brothers, and they’d take it, but give up nothing for us, no matter the torture. But you, oh darling, Castiel would burn the world to the ground to save little ole you. Let’s see just how much it takes for him to come runnin', shall we?”

Y/N had no time to protest before a sharp blade had sliced against the side of her face, causing her to yell out. In her hazy brain, she used her last ounce of energy to pray out to Cas, hoping he heard, and begging the universe to send Sam and Dean with him. After another blunt hit to the head, her world was black again.

-

Dean hardly put the Impala in park as they arrived at the abandoned warehouse they'd tracked Y/N to, gun brandished with Sam trailing behind him. Castiel had taken off on his own, angel blade and an incomprehensible fury as weapons. Dean and Sam were close on his tail, the brothers both a small bit concerned-they had never seen Castiel this angry.

The wind whipped through Castiel's coat as he all but ran through the abandoned warehouse and straight into the room where the two angels stood, Castiel's eyes blurring with anger. Dean's hand slapped his shoulder, Dean's green eyes still focused on the angels, Sam's locked on the same creatures.

"You go find her," Dean's deep timbre came to Castiel's ears. "Me and Sammy can handle these dicks."

Usually, Cas would argue, always staying behind to help Sam and Dean fight any creature, but with Y/N still hidden from him, Cas left without any remarks. Cas grew angry, his legs not carrying him through hallways of abandoned rooms fast enough.

"Y/N?!" His voice echoed off the metal fixtures, and Cas hoped it would reach the ears of the one person he was trying to find. "Y/N/N!"

"C-Cas?"

Cas could have sworn his heart stopped. His brain had stopped working as he shoved a large metal door open with all of his force, his chest nearly collapsing at the sight he found behind it: Y/N, tied to a metal chair, her face swollen, one of her eyes black. Blood was dried on her temple, and blood stained the sweatshirt she was wearing. She looked exhausted, and Cas knew she probably felt worse than she looked.

"Y/N-," Cas' voice was soft and quiet, his hands coming to both sides of her face. "You're okay, I'm here, Sam and Dean are taking those angels out. We're going to get you out of here."

Cas' hands worked quickly, unwrapping the ropes tied around her arms and legs, hoping to cause her as little pain as possible. His brain was working overtime, his eyes scanning her entire frame as he worked.

"I-I'm okay, Cas. A little banged up, but I'm fine. I-I'll be okay."

"You're not okay, honey," Cas' pet names were few and far between, but always soft and meaningful, making Y/N's heart soar. "You've taken a beating, these ropes have scarred your ankles and wrists. I'm going to get you out of here."

Cas released the ropes and picked Y/N up under her arms, feeling her body weight fall on him.

"I-I'm sorry, Cas. I don't-don't think I can walk."

Cas shook his head, lifting her into his arms bridal style and pushing the door with his feet, rushing her through the building as quickly as possible.

"None of that, you're going to be fine. We're getting out of here, back to the Impala."

By the time Cas made it back to the center room, the angels had been slaughtered-their bodies lying on the floor. Dean and Sam stood in front of them, now looking at Cas.

"Is she alright?" Sam's voice echoes through the room.

"She'll be alright," Cas' voice replied. "We need to get out of here."

Dean nodded in agreement, leading the group back out to the Impala. Sam quickly swung open the back door of the car as Dean moved to start it, hoping to make a quick getaway. The Impala was silent-Y/N's head resting peacefully on Cas' chest, her eyes drooping in exhaustion. Cas' hand moved to her forehead, his grace lighting up the dark car as her cuts and bruises began to disappear. The light caught both Sam and Dean's attention as Y/N looked up at Cas and gave him a small smile before resting back into his chest.

"You alright back there, Y/N/N?" Dean's voice filled the silent car.

"Fine. Thank you, Dean. You too, Sam. I never would've made it out of there without you coming after me."

"You're family, Y/N," came Sam's voice. "We'd never leave you like that."

Y/N smiled against Cas' chest, slowly closing her eyes and falling asleep as his hand ran through her hair.

-

Back at the bunker, Sam and Dean worked together to put back all of the furniture that had been thrown about, putting books back into place before retiring to their own bedrooms.

Cas sat quietly on Y/N's bed, borrowing some of Sam and Dean's clothes as his coat and usual wear were in the wash. Moments later, Y/N returned, hair wet from the shower as she smiled at Cas, sitting on the bed next to him. She slid under the covers, sliding into his open arms. Y/N relaxed into Cas' embrace, kissing the underside of his jaw before falling asleep with her head tucked under his chin.

Cas' had no need for sleep, so he spent the entire night looking after her, making sure she slept soundly. Halfway through the night, he felt her begin to toss and turn, her breathing quickening, signaling as signs of a nightmare. Cas wakes her softly, shaking her shoulders as her eyes popped open, staring up at him. She said nothing before her bottom lip wobbled, fear grasping her every sense.

"Hey, hey," Cas' voice was a quiet whisper, his arms enveloping Y/N completely as her tears stained his shirt. "You're at the bunker, I'm here, Sam and Dean are down the hall. You're safe."

Y/N felt herself relax in his hold, grasping the fabric of his shirt, just to remind herself he was real, that nothing would touch her as long as he was here. Y/N felt her eyes start to close again, the emotional exhaustion of the day weighing on her. Just as she slips into a dream state, she feels Cas' faint kiss on her forehead, another act of warmth to make her comfortable. She slept soundly through the night, knowing her guardian angel was watching over her.

✮. pseudo-suits

⋆summary… while on a hunt with the winchesters, you encounter an odd team of FBI agents (spn x criminal minds crossover!)

⋆word count… 950

⋆remi's notes… this has been sitting in my drafts for a while and i haven’t had the motivation to finish it but yeah anyways

You knew as soon as you laid eyes on them that they were feds. Not that they were really dressed like feds, or even vaguely resembled the typical agents you encountered. But they were too odd a crew to be anything else. Mostly it was the tall, lanky kid that was flipping through the stacks of journals at record speed, his hair tucked back behind his ears, that was strange. He wasn’t exactly a kid, but he did seem younger than the other two, closest in age to the dark-haired woman peering at the bloodstains in the white carpet. The other agent was an older, grumpy-looking man with a beard who was mostly just observing the police and his fellows. You simply watched the agents collect clues, discussing the physical and psychological details of some non-existent serial killer as Sam dialed Dean to confirm your suspicions of a werewolf. The sheriff joined the trio, nodding along to everything they said.

“…signs of a struggle… he had to have been taller than the victim…”

They were signs of a struggle alright, and a surely overpowered one. The victim had no chance against such a beast. You couldn’t help a feeling of superiority blooming in your chest; to you and Sam, it was a simple case, a werewolf that had been hunting for years in the area, smart enough to spread them out so that it remained unsuspicious. That was, until the FBI started to connect them, chalking it up to some sick serial killer who collected hearts as trophies. And apparently, they decided to send not one, not two, but three agents to come check it out. You turned to Sam as soon as you finished analyzing them, you both knew your FBI cover was harder to maintain when actual agents were at the scene. You were about to high-tail it out of there, dragging Sam behind you like a mother ushering her disobedient child out of a grocery store, when the sheriff approached questioningly. Sam prepared to flash him his fake, shiny badge and his most charming smile despite your harshly whispered protests.

“Sam. We can’t-“

You were cut off by the gruff-voiced sheriff.

“More agents? I thought a whole unit was enough, but I guess not. Follow me.”

The sheriff leads you through the crime scene, pointing and explaining various, obvious signs of a werewolf attack. You glare at Sam behind the sheriff’s back, thanking him as he finally leaves you to get your own opinions on the scene. You were prepared to drag Sam out of there when a smooth voice stopped you. Again.

“You guys from the borough?”

Sam narrows his eyes by a fraction as the dark-haired woman scans you both. Her gaze felt exposing, subtly judging. You smile, and awkwardly glance at Sam as he clears his throat.

“Uh, yeah. Agent Paige, this is Agent Hall. Must’ve been a mixup with the case file.”

“Ah. Emily Prentiss. Nice to meet you. We’re from the behavioral analysis unit,” she gestures to the other two, smiling, “we’re preparing a profile now. Since you guys are already here, it might help to have more people to bounce off of. Unless you have to get back.”

Prentiss shrugs and turns away to start giving her own guided tour of the crime scene, abandoning Sam. You tune out Emily’s analysis in favor of watching the coroners bag the body and lift it onto a gurney; carefully rolling it around the sharp corners of the desk and out the door of the apartment. Kate… something-or-other was the victim’s name, a local college student. You turn towards approaching footsteps, the steady soft thump of expensive Italian leather. Coming face to face with the older agent, he gives you the same scanning expression that Prentiss had upon introduction.

“Who’re you?”

You blink at his bluntness, trying to remember the name Sam had used for you. 

“Agent… Hall. Nice to meet you. Uh, mixup. With the case file. And that’s Agent Paige,” you gesture toward Sam, who waves back stiffly with his unoccupied hand.

“Ah. Agent Rossi, BAU. You too,” he says, seeming to contemplate sticking his hand out to shake before drawing it back as he’s called over by the sheriff. You look back toward Sam, who’s still waiting for Dean to pick up. You follow his gaze as it trails idly over the room, from one yellow evidence marker to the next in procession. Finally Sam snaps out of his momentary daze as Dean picks up; lowering his voice and turning away from the concentration of cops.

You realize how strange you must look, standing separated from both your so-called partner and the rest of the group. You wander over to the cluster, volunteering yourself to the conversation. It sounded like the three BAU agents were discussing the beginnings of a profile, the same details that Prentiss has told you earlier. After the short introduction to the suspect, the group breaks apart. You move to return to Sam, but Rossi stops you.

“If you two aren’t busy, we wouldn’t mind help in tracking this guy down.”

“I’m not sure that we can help, honestly…” you say, trying to look sympathetic. You and the Winchesters already had enough on your plates dealing with this werewolf; having to keep up the FBI act while talking about a mystery killer would be far too much. Plus, these guys were profilers. They could probably tell that you had a hot dog for lunch from the tiny speck of mustard on your otherwise clean shirt, or something like that. Either way, it was too risky. You’d have to carry out the werewolf takedown under the BAU’s radar.

(to be continued…?)

(and even better if you perhaps have fic recs about straddlegate as you so aptly called it lol ty ty ty)

oh myyyy well! yes there's definitely A Lot of Lore™ in this fandom lol.

i don't personally legitimately ship jensen and misha— i make cockles posts and jokes all the time bc it's silly and fun, but i don't know that i truly believe that they've ever actually been in a romantic or physical relationship with each other (although if we ever did find out that something happened between them, let's just say that i highly doubt anyone would be surprised lmao). people have been speculating about their relationship probably ever since misha started going to spn cons and people saw that his chemistry with jensen extended well past just sharing a screen together. they really do have a strong bond with one another, and it's plain to see in all of their interactions!

here's an example of the matching rings they have (or had at one point). idk about matching bracelets, although i know that at at least one con, jensen wore a bracelet with blue and green beads on it (and he knows the destiel significance of those colors). there could be something i'm missing with that (like more bracelets that i haven't seen), as i too am still trying to fully catch up after my 10+ year fandom hiatus!

i believe there were break up rumors circulating during one of the cons that took place around the time that all the s7 chaos was happening (if you're not aware, misha was essentially fired from supernatural after the first 2 episodes of s7, before being brought back by the president of the cw following a drastic drop in ratings). i don't know too much about the cockles lore around that time; all i know is that they seemed to be stronger than ever once misha returned to the show.

i don't personally read cockles rpf fics (although i have nothing against those who do), so unfortunately i don't have any fic recs for you. but i'm sure you can find some that intrigue you on ao3! they probably have a v plentiful misha/jensen tag on there for you to peruse :3

i hope this was helpful, and pls feel free to dm me or send me more asks if you have more questions! 💕

hey!! i'm new to the spn fandom (haven't finished the show yet, a couple seasons left) and i love sam dearly and can obviously see all the abuse he suffers (mainly by dean, who is actually so so so awful to him in inconceivable ways) but i'm new to tumblr and all the meta and critical thinkpieces of the people who discuss this and the amount of topics and information and posts (bc there are layers upon layer upon layers!!) is so overwhelming for someone who just got here lol so i was wondering where do you think i should start & if there's any "start here" guide to the show through the sam lens or how did you start bc obviously i can see it watching it but there's stuff i miss. anyways yeah sorry for the rambling and hope i could get my point across lol <3 ty in advance, i love reading your posts on the spn dynamics even if sometimes they make me a little confused or I can't fully grasp everything hope i don't sound dumb

oh my god hello. first of all please understand that my perspective on the show is (unfortunately) quite fringe and tends to attract hate whenever people from the broader fandom(s) notice it. doesn’t help that I get heated abt certain recurring issues sometimes 😀

overall this fandom is genuinely huge and obviously pretty old now so I understand being overwhelmed by it. frankly if you watched the show while focused on sam and especially if you care about him for personal reasons you need to be aware of how cynically and/or one-dimensionally much of the fandom interprets and portrays him - this has been going on for years because most people (regardless of fandom segment) prefer dean and shape their “meta” and their fic around that preference regardless of canon characterization and power dynamics.

speaking of fandom segments let me give you a basic overview of what those look like:

d*stiel fandom (I refer to it as “D/C fandom” sometimes and “normie fandom” often). this is the largest segment of the tumblr fandom by a MILE. most outspoken sam haters live here bc it is better for their ship if sam doesn’t exist and particularly not as dean’s long-term partner.

wncest fandom (I refer to it as “S/D fandom” sometimes). many outspoken sam haters here as well - though they would never identify themselves as such - because viewing the entire show through a Traditional (lol) shipping lens can tend to muddy individual characterizations, and because dean is the character with the louder voice in canon these fans get just as offended as others do when you turn up the volume on sam’s perspective. this is all exacerbated by fans in general wanting their favorite character to be the victim in every scenario regardless of the actual power dynamics at play.

sastiel fandom. extremely small compared to either of the above, and better off for it. I will always think of them as the chillest group of fans. what no dean does to a motherfucker (positive) <3

on top of these ship segments you have the overarching “dean g*rls” versus “sam g*rls” dynamic. you’ll see people in S/D fandom in particular claiming these separate fan perspectives as compatible/harmonious. do not believe them lmfao. a lot of people use these labels to signal a superficial preference for one brother over the other (e.g. which one is hotter to you in the context of porn) but for the more engaged fans there is a world of baggage attached to each of these labels, depending on your own view of the show. TL;DR if you love sam and are invested in his mistreatment on the show - especially if this includes his mistreatment by dean - you’ll quickly notice that dean stan circles are not for you.

non-shippers and multi-shippers will more than likely self-identify as either sam g!rls or dean g!rls. if someone calls themself a “cas g!rl” they are almost definitely a D/C shipper or only ever interacting with D/C shippers.

with All That out of the way I recommend making note of which meta posts are most interesting to you and who wrote them, and seeing who their fandom friends are/whose meta they are boosting. here are some common discussion topics that you can search sam blogs for:

sam and bodily autonomy (lack thereof)

the implications of the demon blood arc and how general audiences responded to it

the implications of the soulless!sam arc and how general audiences responded to it

the implications of the trials!sam arc and how general audiences responded to it

the implications of the gadreel!sam arc and how general audiences responded to it

sam and lucifer/sam in the cage

the case for transfem sam (beware of reductive “woman-coding” discourse)

related to the above: dean’s role in the story vs sam’s

sam and faith

sam and food

how we got from “early-seasons” sam to “late-seasons” sam

I have an entire crazy list of sam relationship tags that I won’t put here but here are a few general ones of mine that might be of interest:

#the roles

#us and them

#the audience versus sam and dean

#fandom mythbusting

#hall of mirrors

there is also the “sam winchester centric” ao3 tag which you can try using to narrow down fic/fic collections.

good luck!!!! samtuals feel free to drop recommendations of your own in the comments.

Dean is the most iconic character on SPN because cliche bad boy and caricatures with more exaggerated personality traits tend to stand out in the mind of viewers. Sam was more subtle and nuanced.

I think you're confusing iconic with popularity. Dean Winchester's bad boy with a heart of gold trope is a popular archetype, but it's not the same as iconic. There are many popular bad boy characters, but they're not exactly memorable when it comes to storylines.

While watching a Supernatural episode, I’m more drawn to Dean because he’s more fun to watch. The next day I remember the same episode through Sam’s actions and interactions.  I end up kind of forgetting what Dean did in part because he remains the same character from start to finish, both in the episode and the entire series.

So I remember Supernatural through Sam's hero journey arcs because he is a dynamic character who went from a college student naive about the supernatural world, to becoming a skilled and effective hunter and then a leader and later a father figure to a future God, and finally a father with a family of his own.  Dean was essentially the same character from start to finish but that's fine for a support-protagonist, in fact it was essential for the show's formula.

Characters become iconic by; 1) being memorable when they are taken out of their time and setting and remains admirable, fascinating, or frightening regardless of time and location. Or 2) due to excellence of a trait i.e. malevolence or sweetness or determination or whatever. If you were reading a book on management theory and you saw a picture of Darth Vader, you’d have a pretty good idea what sort of manager they’re talking about.

Going by the second requirement, Dean Winchester could be an iconic character in that whenever I see a picture of him, I think of his supernatural devotion to Sam Winchester. But that's not what the Ackles Army want, and to some extent not what Jensen wants either. Just see his prequel idea.

spn s6 bingo card update!

okay so i made this bingo card before starting s6 and now i wanna take a moment to talk about it after finishing the season. for some of them i'm not totally sure whether i can cross them out or not, but yeah, let's try:

"dean wanting to bring sam back from hell" -> yeah, dean admits to have tried to bring sam back in that one year between 5x22 and 6x01, because he didn't know sam was already back. and after he finds out that sam's soul is still in the cage, he does everything in his power to get it back

"michael isn't dead and he's very pissed off" -> yeah idk, i guess this one's also true because he's just in the cage, so not dead (as i understand it, angels are only dead when they're actually gone? like, neither in heaven nor hell or whatever else, so i'd say he's still alive, just not free). and i think you could say he's pissed off, considering the damage he did to sam's soul in there

"dean and cas hug" -> well, no. we were robbed.

"chuck is either god or in danger" -> yeah lmao no chuck in the entire season, guess he's just useless now that the whole prophet-thing is kinda outdated with the free will/no apocalypse thing, so maybe he just vanished because his purpose is gone? idk, kinda wanted to know why the fuck he just disappeared into thin air but okay thanks (i mean there are still more seasons, so maybe he'll come back. not counting on it though)

"bobby being absolutely done with the boys but helping anyway" -> lmao always, we even got a whole episode of this

"time travel" -> yup! the whole titanic thing of course, but i'd say the most prominent time travel ep was the one where they visited samuel colt

"dean gets slammed against a wall" -> i mean, he's been beaten up and probably been smashed against walls often enough, but i only count the ones that have at least a bit of homoerotic tension, so sadly none in this season as far as i recall

"bloody cas" -> oh yes. 6x19 where the jefferson starship attacks cas and dean just cuts its head off from behind and splashes cas with blood. yeah

"dean dies again" -> yeah (6x11 when he wants to talk to death). when doesn't he?? i think that's the only thing one can be sure of when watching this show

"sam at the very end of 5x22 was actually lucifer" -> ok no

"dean praying to cas" -> yeah like all the time. but somehow i want it to be more intimite (?), yk as in him being alone and sincere about it and not just "hey castiel... could you come down for a sec?", i want him on his KNEES

"sam fucking a monster" -> surprisingly not. cas does kiss a demon though

"really powerful cas" -> oh i cooked with this one. wasn't thinking about god level power but damn yeah

"dean crying" -> i think so? i think he cried when lisa almost died. i could be wrong though

"adam is dead" -> since he's not alive, i guess he's dead, yeah. not saying he can't also come back, but yeah, dead at the moment

"god dies" -> still don't even know who/where he is, soooo no

"sam having trauma" -> not at first, but the second the wall to his memory of hell breaks down this boy is nothing but a big ball of trauma

"dean and lisa break up" -> yeah, i was pretty sure he would lose her and ben somehow :(

"archangels being assholes (raphael??)" -> ha i called it! i figured since michael and lucifer are in the cage the next one who was gonna fuck up their lives would be him

"hell flashbacks" (not flackbacks lmao, sorry for the typo) -> mostly just sam on fire but yeah

"cinematic showing of cas' wings" -> yesss 6x15!!! love it

"lisa dies" -> almost, but fortunately we have cas and his healing powers!!

"crowley kissing more guys" -> i'm certain he did, but we didn't get to see it :(

"more intense destiel eye sex" -> in my opinion jensen and misha can't do a scene together without their characters doing that. so yeah. it was there

so in conclusion: bingo!(?)

this was actually fun so maybe i'll do this again for another season!

Okay, don’t know how go about this properly so I’m just going to go for it—

Please recommend me the best/your favorite Destiel fanfics

The more slow burn the better.

Lemon/explicit/smut preferred, kinkier the better

I enjoy it all but my favorite dynamic is desperate switch!Cas and repressed bottom!Dean

I’m down to try AUs (like the classic high school, co-workers, coffee shop, etc…) though I do heavily prefer story’s that fall in the canon world/story, including the "16th season" lol

I was HEAVILY into spn and Destiel when I was younger, I watched religiously from when it started airing till up to season 10 when I fell off due to life circumstances. Recently I’m back into it due to "The Boys" final season casting announcement and am rewatching/finishing spn with the box dvd set. I know how it ended (fuck you CW, I’m begging y’all to retcon the last episode with a one-off movie or something. Pandemic or not that was such a slap in the face to your audience and your characters, shockingly poorly done) and are up to date with spoilers, so don’t worry about that when recommending fics.

Classic fics and new fics are both welcomed

Yes, I read "Twist and Shout" when it was originally being posted

“Dean’s not really gonna go to hell, right? They’re gonna figure that out.” - My poor, clueless, naive mother, only on S3xE9.

Did she learn nothing from me getting her and my dad into Game of Thrones?

⚠️ Yap Warning Below ⚠️

Like mom, I literally got you to watch this show by telling you “It’s a decade and a half long tragedy that occasionally tricks you into thinking you’re safe with comedy. I started watching it in middle school for the gay angel, but he doesn’t show up til season 4 when he saves Dean from hell and that’s how they enter into the Heaven vs Hell vs Humanity plot-line…”

And ya know what? I knew I could tell her spoilers like that because I knew she’d completely forget I said any little detail of what you just read.

She’d just finished all the episodes of Handmaid’s Tale, I was in the middle of rambling about Supernatural and how good it was blah blah blah and then I knew it was the perfect time and probably only chance I’ll get to have her start this show that has absently plagued me for so long.

After 8 years of slowly conditioning my mom into being okay with onscreen blood and spooky thriller stuff (She’s a literal baby. She had to skip the Bloody Mary episode altogether), she’s finally watching supernatural. Y’all don’t understand how insane this feels. When I watched the show in middle school I had to hide it from my parents 90% of the time. The “Christian” definition of our house has morphed drastically over the years. Don’t even get me started on my Destiel addiction. I still somehow get catholic guilt from the ship and I was raised Baptist (ew).

But now? I’m running down the hall to where my mom is watching the show, I have a half finished destiel art piece in hand, and I’m about to show it to her like I’m in kindergarten and it’s a finger painting I did in class that day.

Hey guys? It can get better. I never could have seen this outcome for my life, not just the casual SPN stuff but like, my job? My cat? My car? My ART? My prescriptions👀? My friends? My life experiences that got me here? I’m just really content and kinda glad I couldn’t have predicted it. And maybe I’m just having a lull in the depression but circumstances are far better right now than I anticipated they would be LITERALLY a year ago when I first graduated college.

Anyway this post went all over the place.

Thanks for checking into Blanket Fort, hope you enjoyed your stay!

THE BITTER END | SPN 15x18 DESPAIR: About that Destiel moment in 15x18

Oh boy…the scene that sailed a thousand memes (and counting)…the scene that made us all go feral in the midst of a contentious presidential elections in one of the most disruptive, chaotic years in recent memory (2020 you son of a bitch)

Now i am super late with this since it’s nearly been 4 years since this was aired live on TV and posted like crazy all over the internet BUT…y’all Destiel shippers got robbed. Not just with this scene but the whole Destiel ship in general - just done so dirty.

I started watching this show on and off back in 2021 and I finally got to finish over the summer this year (2024) taking my sweet time, even rewatching certain episodes (for some fanfic writing 😁). I went into this to settle the debate for myself - is this Destiel stuff legit? Or was it taken out of context? Misconstrued.

No. It really wasn’t. They (the powers behind SPN) tried it, tried to pull the wool over people’s heads, with certain fans chiming in (the destiel haters, the homophobes, the anti-mishas, etc.) but no. The SPN showrunners fucked all this up.

From the beginning….

So it’s 15x18 despair - we’re in the last act - shit’s popping off, everything’s going tits up - Billie is trying to hunt Dean down, calling him chaos incarnate. Dean & Cas get trapped in a room with no apparent means of escape or defense - probably should’ve headed for the exit - but I guess since it’s the 3rd to last episode and the execs clearly want things to go back to the status quo 🙄 now’s as good a time as any to cash in on that plot thread from last season and kill Castiel once and for all 😭 (as 1 person pointed out, given the prior context they probably could've just waited Billie out, since them being trapped in that room - Cas was the one that blocked the door anyhow - but I get it SPN showrunners you wanted to get rid of Cas somehow - what a mess)

If you haven’t watched it - here’s where I gasp and scoff in disbelief - please watch it https://youtu.be/l_r9GZeQl1w?si=uVox8PlXByYEYKci

Basically Cas tells Dean he’s the greatest guy he’s ever known, that he fights for love and that Cas lurves Dean 😭 and he’s not the bad things enemies say Dean is. That he’s more than the worst parts of himself - oh Cas.

This was Castiel’s one moment of true happiness - telling the one person whom he adores more than anyone or anything else in the entire universe - that he is loved by Castiel himself.

The confession that triggers Castiel’s demise to go with the empty, takes Billie with him and before Dean can process the massive TRUTH BOMB Castiel just dumped on him, Castiel is gone.

Despair indeed.

They made too many fucking cuts to this scene, at least for Jensen’s coverage. Like if you don’t want Dean to reciprocate…fine. Don’t. But let him fucking respond! Let him use his words. Castiel just told Dean he was in love with him, that is one of the BIGGEST things you can say to somebody in your life. EVER. Especially on TV. And yes it was in love, like romantically. Not platonically because why make such a fucking fuss over fucking platonic friendship! There’s always been a tension between these 2 characters, it hung over between them since season 4. They just made it into a joke, never expecting to get the traction it did over the years. They even tried writing Cas off the show for good back in season 7. But they got stuck with Cas and never really made proper use of him. They literally just waited until the last minute to get rid of him in a way that couldn’t get the show cancelled until that decision had already been made by the network. to make things worse - COVID happened

So don’t tell me the confession doesn’t merit a response, either for or against on Dean’s part - whether he returns Castiel’s affection or not is another story but dammit let Dean speak! How could you not? Cowards!

And Would it be so terrible if Dean did feel something MORE than friendship for the only other individual that has stood by him for so many years? Like really? A relationship doesn’t demand sex (but let’s be honest, Cas probably wanted to fuck the shit outta Dean 🤣) it’s whatever the people in the relationship want! Dean isn’t young by the time s15 rolls around. Older people tend to just want someone to come home to, settle down with. Companionship. Cas fits that to a fucking T. When Dean dreamed of a future, Cas was right there with him (and Sam, cuz Dean always wants his family close as much as he can, given how he grew up).

Couldn’t find a gif of Dean talking about taking some time off after all the craziness of the hunting they do but I’m not crazy I know he wanted it.

The team behind SPN could have finished Dean’s narrative beautifully as man who was driven by fear all his life and opens himself up to a relationship he never saw coming but when the time came he didn’t run because he grew to love more than fear (and choose to live a life of peace after stuck in one of violence for so many years).

This is why Hollywood is shit! Great beginnings, shitty endings. But in this case, it was because they consistently chose NOT to indulge in queer-like narratives with enough care (aside from some other problematic stuff like the treatment towards women being more negative than positive, the inconsistent writing for characters and plot, etc.)

BUT not when it’s the main character 😡 Charlie can be gay AF but not Dean, seriously? That’s fucked. Like at least let him fucking explore/consider it. So people stop watching it who gives AF?! I never even watched the show when it was on air for 15 years, tons of people didn’t. There are still people out there watching SPN for the first time today! People who started but stopped because it’s a show that ran WAAAY longer than any other normally does.

Idk who made it so that Dean couldn’t explore his sexuality or fucked up the Destiel of it all but they SUUUUUUUUCK! You really shat the bed! at least explore it cuz at the end of the day, it may not work out. Gay relationships aren’t that different from straight relationships in that sometimes it just doesn’t work out BECAUSE we’re ALL people. And who knows maybe they could’ve been happy but we’re not allowed to know that canonically because Destiel was never given a CHANCE!

I mean if it was REALLY that big a deal – why introduce it? By making these little suggestions that (in a way that's funny but why would Dean be queer be haha funny - no that's not okay, queerness shouldn't be a joke) furthermore we’re talking about a show on basic cable - all it would’ve taken was fucking hand-holding or the same routine of staring into each other’s eyes like they’d been doing for 12 fucking years already! Just not shying away from the queerness that time. Legend of Korra did it. That 1 Disney show did it (i don’t remember the name). No kissing would’ve been necessary - nice, wishful thinking but not necessary if the kissing became an issue (but seriously it was 2020 man but ofc - that is a year where a pandemic that required social distancing decided to kick in during the final arc of this show) - just so we’re all clear COVID cock blocked Destiel lol jk 🤣

All those times they had Dean & Cas stare into each other's eyes – the forces at work – showrunners, writers, directors AND editors & the network who is showing this to audiences – if its such a big fucking deal - Don't leave it in. By leaving it in, you're allowing people to make assumptions about the relationship – it happens literally every time in every story ever told. You put 2 people in a scene and they're not family (though not always the case) or JUST friends (explicitly proven) there's a chance SOMEONE is gonna wanna ship them no matter how likely it is (OR NOT) they'll hookup or become a couple. That's just how it is. So don't fan the flames and then turn it around on fans that they're wrong, crazy or misinterpreting. If Wincest can exist, so can Destiel and any other ship. That being said, y’all Destiel shippers were ROBBED but I don’t need to tell you that.

I don’t think the relationship would’ve been perfect or smooth sailing - their friendship as it was on the show sure wasn’t. And Dean wasn’t the only one with issues - Cas had some bad qualities too - the angel liked to lie and for a while there he was extremely averse to conflict. And Dean…he gets real fucking angry 😬 not a good mix for a relationship- hell even a friendship.

But the two had a profound bond, with a great deal of affection for one another and that’s what got them through betrayal, fights, amnesia, curses, apocalypses, and all the ugliness in between. They could’ve made it. Or they could’ve just had Cas and Dean stay friends - but we’ll never know since Cas was pretty much omitted after 15x18 - there were references - like only 2 though 😒

Really SPN? 😒😔 so lazy. But sure, go ahead, blame COVID. It’s not like phones exist. It’s not like the actor couldn’t have just recorded Castiel’s voice nope. Totally not an option 🤦🏾‍♀️ same goes for the other characters - Jody, Donna, Eileen - you know all the other characters Sam & Dean cared about but sure - fuck ‘em too. Status quo is the only thing that matters - SMH.
