#destiel wishlist

[queensilber]

Honestly? I want season 16 to be nothing but filler. One (1) episode of plot where Tfw comes back to life and then just them being them. No universal threat, no BIG problems, no end of the world, just them and all the filler episodes we never got.

But, of course, Destiel and Samleen getting back together storyline

And

Even though being God, jack getting to live with them, all together.

Thats all I want

[aerospectrum]

forever thinking about a professor castiel au: during office hours cas discovers the texts to what he thinks is the secrets to time travel. when his curiosity and further research tears the fabric of his verse and opens up the reality of parallel worlds(yes the multiverse lol); think of a ‘take on me’ twist where he’s literally pulled into the book and he unknowingly unleashes the supernatural into his world. in an effort to “protect” him the angels capture him claiming he’s a prophet of god. his doubt taps into them not telling him the full story and when the angels are overpowered by demons also seeking out this “prophet” it’s revealed he’s actually an archangel who had his memory slate wiped clean and his grace removed to keep him from remembering. remembering what he’s yet to figure out; but the key to figuring it out and save both universes lays in the decision to trust the demons(?) who revealed his true persona to him. 

[what-if-i-just-did]

Season 16 wishlist because I'm a clown and I can dream:

-The finale was fake

-Saving Cas from the Empty

-DESTIEL, CANON, PROPERLY. KISSES ON THE LIPS AND ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP.

-Body swap episode between Sam & Dean

-Human!impala episode with John Barrowman as Baby

-Genderswap episode, sam and dean incredibly off-put, Cas going about as usual

-Reverse!FrenchMistake!!!! Misha, Jared and Jensen in the spnverse!

-Beach episode. no case, just them chillin'

-Jack as God dropping in on the bunker every once in a while

-Sam being the new Bobby, running things from the Bunker like he was during the Micheal!Dean period

-Sam and Eileen get married, Dean jokes about the time Sam married Becky

-Cas being treated like the main character he is aka being in every single episode

-The Mixtape. Where tf is the Mixtape.

- Time travel to season 1/2, maybe even pre-series?

-Cas's winggggs show us the wings!!!

-SuperWhoLock crossover ep? Pretty please? (Never gonna happen)

-Some type of crossover. Maybe even Scoobynatural reunion?

-I would say "fake dating episode" but idk how the heck they'd fit that into the narrative

-No overarching plotline. They fix the Chuck problem within the first 3 episodes and the rest is just individual cases/things

-Domestic destiel. Breakfast and movie nights and snuggles

-Dean Winchester officially coming out as bisexual to Sam

-What ended up happening to Dean's leather jacket? I want some symbolism of finally letting go of that as finally letting go of J*hn W*nchester and Dean allowing himself to live a happy life

-John Winchester acknowledged as an abusive parent and general shithead!!!

-Flashbacks to and stories about Stanford-era Sam & Dean!!! We learn how lonely Dean really was, and Jessica actually becomes a slightly fleshed out character; we learn her major, how she & Sam met, etc

-Everyone ends up happy

-DOES NOT END ON A CLIFFHANGER

Clingy Dean is also good! I love clingy Dean :D

Stating the obvious, but that would also be a neat way to (theoretically) deal with actor availability issues, like, Oh, Castiel is off filming another show? That’s okay, his temporary vessel is here.

(peer review! :) )

I should have added one more option to the heller clowning poll: Cas has been there the whole time because he's using Dean as a temporary vessel for this time-travel road trip. Which explains why Dean was able to just vanish after giving John the letter from Henry: he's got his angel along for the ride. 😏

[harmless-variety-of-garden-snake]

Okay at this point, my WIP list is kind of grossly long. I managed to finish the first few days of Bucktommy Fluffbruary prompts, but I still have:

Like two fix-its because their breakup was so poorly executed. Maybe three. Or five. IDK man

An AU that completely fucks the timeline where soldier Tommy goes to Peru on leave and has a secret whirlwind romance with local bartender Evan

Straight up porn based around a jockstrap I have on my wishlist

Outside of that, there's:

Loustat meeting up at the tail-end of Lestat's tour

AU where Lestat manages to save the trio in the cafe before they're captured

Loustat in New Orleans like seconds after their reunion

Merthur modern AU where Merlin is a rare book expert and Arthur is having to sell off the collection his father hoarded

Hannigram AU - Will was a cop in Baltimore when he got hurt, Hannibal is the trauma surgeon, Hannibal is still the Ripper and Will still ends up with the FBI, but now they're already together

Butchie no powers AU where Hughie is working in IT for evil corporation Vox and Butcher is trying to take them down

Thor/Bruce AU where Bruce is a professor and Thor is on the crew doing improvements to the campus

Marcus Flint/Oliver Wood futurefic based on more current pictures of the Flint actor being a stone cold hottie

Nandermo time travel where Nandor uses a wish right after the wedding to send Guillermo back to find out who his actual favorite was (it was Guillermo)

Gigolas modern AU - they meet in a bar during Fili's birthday and hook up

Like two Hob/Morpheus stories set after they meet up again

Destiel fix-it where Dean figures out Heaven isn't Heaven

Sort of gen soulmate AU that's supposed to end with Sam/Steve?

Steve/Sam set during Winter Soldier because Steve and Sam were absolutely flirting when they met

The beginnings of fics from when I was watching BL during lockdown based in the Hello Stranger, Cherry Magic, and SOTUS universes, but I haven't watched any of those since

Spideypool set in a nebulous version of the Garfield films where Peter will definitely stop hooking up with Wade, he swears

A Terror AU based around a John Bridgens/Henry Peglar fix-it concept?

Like what am I doing. What am I even doing here?

Wishlist by Pearl Jam is a destiel song

[embodies]

DEAN WINCHESTER. supernatural.

driver picks the music. shotgun shuts his cakehole.

wiki. pinterest. previously at shatteredhunter.

faceclaim deviation: jay hernandez. some differences in characterisation will also be reflected in this, both culturally and lorewise.

important interaction notes: detached from canon, loosely following the character arcs until season 7 after which i have no interest at all in canon events. mostly written outside of the actual events in the show anyway, more interested in dean's personal journey. i will not write romantic destiel under any circumstances.

themes: boyhood snuffed, man made soldier, the duty of the older sibling above all else, jerk with a heart of gold, not wanting to become like your father. carrying a piece of hell with you wherever you go.

inspiration: southern gothic, 'salem's lot, the devil's backbone, classic rock.

wishlist/thread ideas:

bird box au

abandoned graveyard shenanigans

'salem's lot / southern gothic plots

fallout au

bonnie and clyde esque au

dean pretending he knows your muse to get them out of an awkward/dangerous situation

platonically sharing a bed trope

destiel amv songs wishlist

lord huron - hurricane bright eyes - from a balance beam 100 gecs - ringtone

bonus dean song: elliott smith - xo

[updeans]

I've been looking some more at the deancas shot from the drowning promo and I'm just... thinking

they're sitting at one of the small tables between the bookcases, near the wall, right? well, so the table in the background is one of the bigger ones that's in the center of the library

so.... why does it look like it's pushed back from its usual spot? and if it is, there's this big space right in the middle of the library...

and so my brain has several ideas now, let me clown for a sec here

scenario a) this creates a perfect space for some dancing, and I mean, this space was already shown as a dance floor once, right?

just.... that visual, dean and cas sitting at a table together, it's intimate, they're alone, they're connecting, and dean's phone is right there--no idea whether he has anything else in his vicinity that can play music, but this just seems like quite a setup. just let that man dance with his boyfriend once

scenario b) that background table that, if I'm seeing correctly, for some mysterious reason has been moved against the wall, between the bookcases, I mean... perfect, big table, hidden from view. I wonder...

yes, yes, I'm absolutely saying this is the perfect spot for them to get it on after a little heart-to-heart. the small table won't do, and the center would just be too exposed. this is entirely too convenient lol

on a more serious note though, have they ever made space at the center of the library like this? cause this looks like something's definitely going to go down there...

An Epic Love Story: Paradise Lost and Destiel

So we wrapped Thanksgiving festivities with my family by reading the scene of the Fall in Paradise Lost (what? is this not traditional or something?) and I came away with SO many Destiel thoughts because it is basically the best love story ever and I am gonna flip a table and then set it on fire if the show doesn’t end with some kind of parallel scene (but reversed so that it was a positive thing).

Ok, wait. I see that context needed. This came up because we were talking about what we were reading and someone was complaining about having to read PL and, instead of the room backing her up as she clearly expected, all other 5 people went “NO IT’S AMAZING!!” with such force that she just stared and blinked. this was totally expected from me and my mom (both PhDs in English literature - her specialty is Medieval and mine is Renaissance) but the other 3 people we had no reason to expect knew or liked a 17thc. epic poem that is, admittedly, a really tough read. so then we all chose our favorite passages to read aloud to demonstrate its awesomeness and both me and my mom picked basically the saddest scene in all literature.

In Milton’s story, Adam and Eve have separate scenes of choosing to eat the fruit of knowledge and fall. Eve goes first and she’s deceived by Satan in the guise of a serpent who offers her himself as empirical evidence of all the great stuff the fruit can do. He’s a huge freaking liar, of course, but since there’s no such thing as deception in Paradise (until he gets there) Eve can’t tell that so she uses her reason and satisfies her natural curiosity (SO much more curious than dull old Adam) and, yes, disobeys the order from God not to eat from the tree of knowledge. There’s some gorgeous-ass poetry about it, but the immediate narrative consequence is that she wonders how to act when she returns to Adam. She’s never acted with him before, but being fallen means a split between seeming and being (and also the development of self-consciousness that gives you an internal monologue...something we only saw before with Satan). 

Cut to Adam, worried that Eve isn’t back yet. He made her a garland of roses when she was away because he missed her. (I’m not making this shit up, seriously.) He sees her and can tell instantly that she’s just different and all his joints go slack and he drops the garland and as it hits the ground “all the faded roses shed.” See, there had never been death in the garden before. None of the plants died; all the animals were immortal. But now that Eve has fallen there can be. Adam then immediately begins an internal monologue (interestingly suggesting he’s fallen already because he’s already made his choice). 

"O fairest of creation, last and best

Of all God's works, creature in whom excelled

Whatever can to sight or thought be formed,

Holy, divine, good, amiable, or sweet!

How art thou lost! how on a sudden lost

Defaced, deflowered, and now to death devote!

Rather, how hast thou yielded to transgress

The strict forbiddance, how to violate

The sacred fruit forbidden! Some cursed fraud

Of enemy had beguiled thee, yet unknown,

And me with thee hath ruined; for with thee

Certain my resolution is to die."

(9.896-907)

It slays me and I cry even when I read it for students in class and I have no shame about it. Paradise Lost is a religious epic, sure, but have you considered that it’s also an epic fucking love story?!

Now, tbh, you aren’t supposed to want Adam to fall. You��re supposed to be like “oh naughty bad Adam to put your love above your God” but, like, no one who reads this story thinks that. (Well, almost no one. I always have at least one dudebro student being like “dumb Adam! I’d never make that choice for a girl!” and then I tell him he’s clearly never been in love and he shuts the hell up. I’m fully serious.) There’s a lot to say about why Milton wrote it that way, but bottom line is that we’re all already fallen so we want fallen things...including love. 

Love and...love. You know where I am going now. I basically pictured this scene as Cas choosing to fall for Dean; to give up his immortal status and chance to inhabit Paradise because, frankly, it’s not Paradise if you’re alone. (That’s why Adam asked God to make Eve in the first place.) It could/would be less sad because Dean was never an immortal (despite that face) and so the choice that was made of his free will (also The Biggest Deal in Milton) would be an affirmative statement about the benefits of being human, of being fallen. Including love.

Paradise Lost ends with the following lines:

“They, looking back, all the eastern side beheld

Of Paradise, so late their happy seat, 

Waved over by that flaming brand; the gate 

With dreadful faces thronged and fiery arms. 

Some natural tears they dropped, but wiped them soon; 

The world was all before them, where to choose 

Their place of rest, and Province their guide. 

They, hand in hand, with wandering steps and slow 

Through Eden took their solitary way.” (12.640-649)

This, my friends, THIS is what I want for endgame Destiel. Yes, it’s got some sadness in it, “some natural tears,” and some significant loss BUT they do also get the rest of the world and, most important, they get to go together. I remember @thedogsled made a post about how it’s not yet time for Cas to drive the Impala because that’s the perfect last scene - Cas driving him and Dean off into the sunset...”hand in hand, with wandering steps and slow...”. I mean...what else could you ask for?

We say a lot of the time that SPN is “epic” but frequently when I say it I mean it in a literary sense because it shares many qualities with epics...and a LOT more than that with this one. I keep promising (threatening?) to write more about SPN and PL, but this is my most important point. Writers, please, take a lesson from Milton and end this love story this way. Please and thank you.

Michael: Hello Castiel

Cas: *blinks*

Michael: It’s interesting brother. I’m getting such mixed feelings from my vessel in your presence... feelings of fear and yet a calmness, feelings of need and also want...

Cas: *bows his head*

Michael: feelings of love and...

Cas: *looks up*

Michael: ... love

Destiel Wishlist?

Someone posted a cute and kinda smutty wishlist of what they love to see in Destiel FF and now I can't find it. If you wrote it, or you see it floating around, will you send it to me? I'd love to try it as a writing challenge

[santamadredidios]

Petition to have another Destiel reunion some time this season, but this time...

[biceratops7]

I finally managed to draw these two! Lol, destiel reunion hug 🤗

[rauko-creates]

I can just see them in the empty...

Cas: Dean, how- what are you doing here?

Dean: Hah...Dammit, Cas. You’re really gonna tell me...that you can see that everything I do is for love, and then ask me what I’m doing here?
