You wanna see a sneak peek of my Endverse fic?
They've been floating the idea of finding a place where they can gather hunters together. Safety in numbers. Bobby, Dean, Rufus, Jo, Ellen.
-
“Chitaqua.” Rufus announced as he walked in through Bobby’s back door and made a beeline directly for the coffee.
“Gesundheit.” Dean responded.
“Camp Chitaqua, jackass.” He claimed his cardboard cup before choosing a doughnut and shoving enough things off the table to make a place for himself.
Bobby rolled his eyes. “What about it?”
“I made some calls last night, and the ones that went through kicked up an old camp ground, been empty for a couple years now.”
“How many is a couple?”
“Have some faith, Bobby. A couple, as in two…” He took a bite of his doughnut. “To ten. It’s not clear.” he admitted.
“And this… Camp Chitaqua is somewhere you think we should be interested in?”
“You got another thousand acre fully zoned retreat center lined up just waiting for you?”
Dean looked up from his own doughnut. “A thousand?”
“You wanted remote.”
Bobby leaned forward, a little more interested than before. “Already developed?”
Rufus spoke with his mouth full. “Most of it is woods, keeps it away from nosy neighbors. Working plumbing and electricity. Two lodges, fifteen cabins and a flat area big enough for a couple dozen tents. Mess hall, rec room, chapel.”
Bobby shook his head. “What’s the catch?”
“I can’t believe you don’t trust me.”
“What’s the catch.” He repeated, flatly.
Rufus lowered his voice, looking slightly guilty. “Five hundred thousand dollars.”
Dean choked. “Oh yeah, just half a million dollars, let me get my wallet.”
“Hey that is pennies on the dollar, far better price than you’re ever gonna get.”
“Something that big ain’t going that cheap without a downside.” Ellen pointed out, ignoring Dean’s incredulous look at the word ‘cheap’.
“Poltergeist.”
Bobby leaned back. “You saved him from a poltergeist, and now he is gonna cut you a deal?”
“No, There is still a poltergeist. The grounds are heavily haunted.”
Dean stared at him. “And that didn’t count as part of the catch?”
Rufus scowled at him. “If five hunters can’t take care of a little ghost problem, do you really think we got a chance at kickin’ the devil’s ass?”
“Alright.” Jo said, cutting through the ratcheting tension. “Let’s take the ghosts out of the equation, where is this camp?”
“Fifty miles outside of Kansas City.” Rufus dug into his pocket, pulling out a map of the state with a hastily scribbled X.
Dean stood to get a closer look. “Anything special about the location?”
“You mean other than it’s not north?” Rufus said incredulously. “Which in case you haven’t noticed is not doing so hot right now.”
“Yeah, yeah. But nothing else?”
“Just everything you wanted on a plate.”
Ellen waited until Bobby passed her the map. “Assuming we scrounge up the change, how many people can it shelter? I don’t want to undershoot if we get more hunters joining us than we expect.”
“Depends how cozy people want to get.” Rufus shrugged. “Lodges have 72 bunks each. Cabins are mostly one room.”
And tents if we got desperate.” Ellen mused.
“So a lot.” Jo crossed her arms. Hopefully way more than they needed. “Besides the ghosts, what has to be done?”
“What do I look like, a carpenter?” Rufus shook his head. “If you want a tour you gotta evict the old residents.”
Dean pushed back from the table slightly. “Are we actually talking about this?”
Jo shrugged. “I vote we go take a look. Worst thing that happens is we kick a ghost’s ass.” She looked at Ellen.
“Fine.” She relented. “But I got some stuff I gotta settle before we head off to go camping. Meet here again to leave first thing tomorrow?”
“Fine by me.” Rufus said, reaching for another doughnut. “Bobby, if you don’t mind, I’m gonna borrow your tools and give my truck a bit of the love she deserves.”
“Don’t lose anything.” Bobby said, sternly. “And put it all back where you found it.”
“Yeah, yeah.” Rufus grumbled, holding the door open for Jo before following her out.
Ellen hung back. Once they were alone she lowered her voice a little. She nodded back towards the stairs. “How is he?”
Dean sighed. “Not up to this.”
“And you?” She asked, looking Dean over critically. “You in fighting shape? I’d rather push it a few days than get you killed.”
“I’m fine.” Dean said. He tested a few rolls of his shoulder, pleased at the flexibility he had. “Let’s get it over with.”
“Okay.” She said. She squeezed his shoulder before turning and heading after Jo.
Bobby closed the box on the last couple doughnuts, pushing aside. “Cas’ll be okay here for a couple days.” He settled back with his coffee.
“Yeah.” Dean said absently. “Thanks, Bobby.” He frowned. “We really owe you.”
“That’s what family is for.”

A Steddie fanfiction. Rated E. 84k.
----
April 1986
“How’re you feeling, Ed?” Steve asks quietly, preserving the stillness of the night that surrounds them.
“Think I’m alright, a little tired.” Eddie watches the gentle waves that ripple out from his shins kicking softly in the water. It’s been a long day, even he has to admit that, and he’s feeling… well, that’s the end of the sentence. He’s feeling.
It’s the first time Eddie’s been around everyone all at once since the Upside Down and the kids, they mean well and he knows that, surrounded him with so much love that it’d become overwhelming. So had sitting upright, walking around, talking. The last hour or so, he’d gone ghost— transparent without actually disappearing— and the others followed his lead. Pretend you’ve vanished hard enough and the people around will you pretend, too. Except for Steve, he discovers.
It’s an odd thing though, preferring to be still, to be quiet, and he hates that the Upside Down has stolen this piece of himself, too. Steve’s assured him that it’s okay, that he’ll be his boisterous, loud, antsy self again when his body’s healed but it’s taking too long for Eddie’s liking. Or comfort.
“You know it's normal, right? It’s a lot, Ed. You didn’t even have to stay out here the whole time, no one would’ve minded or blamed you.” Steve sits next to him, letting his feet slide in beside Eddie’s. Everyone else is inside— kids, parents, everyone who’s made the Harrington House their base while waiting for the government pay-outs and new homes. It’s late now, but Steve and Eddie take advantage of the silence as they so often do.
“Yeah, yeah I know. Doesn’t mean I have to like it.”
Steve nods and lets his pinky touch the edge of Eddie’s, palm down on the cold, wet concrete.
“You don’t, you’re right. I didn’t either. For what it’s worth though,” Steve takes a breath, thinks about how he wants to word this without making a confession he’s not yet ready for, “I like every version of you.”
Eddie’s heart pounds in his chest and he watches the ripples from Steve’s legs blend into his. Huh, he thinks, something symbolic there.
He doesn’t respond, just wraps his pinky around Steve’s.
Coming soon to ao3: February 1, 6:00PM PST (3:00 PM EST)

From the spin off sneak peak im shaking in my boots. Im so excited 🥰🥰🥰 I love me some delusional men <3
I’m curious if you are at the point where you know which fic you’re wanting to finish first. If I remember correctly, you also started working on Captain’s Reward and Wicked Games.
Personally, I’m most excited for wicked games & the spin off. I like captains reward too don’t get me wrong, it’s just that Steve is DARK dark. Like he has no care for the reader at all so he’s just not as likable to the other characters lol.
bestie ask any writer, there is never a point where you know which fic you're wanting to finish first. i just kinda go with the flow and work on whatever is giving me the most inspiration.
and yep, the spin-off sequel will have a very different, very obsessed and yandere poyt!steve. like super DELUSIONAL in his belief that omega is in love with him and that bucky will easily forgive him for stealing his girl LMFAOOO

I didn’t realize this was my first Madcom fanart/artwork until now wowee
Anywho this is Scorpio, and they use they/them pronouns!
Here’s a quick rundown of who they are:
• They were a former A.T.P Soldat at the agency and was tortured as punishment for defying higher ups
• They have scars ALL OVER their body including cuts, gun shots, and severe burns
• They were homeless for MONTHS after escaping the agency and in that time learned much more about computers and electronics
• The weapon they carry is an electro staff they actually built themself so they would have a form of defense
• They are half blind and have poor eye sight now due to their eye piece from the agency being shot out as one of their punishments
• And after months of being homeless they bumped into Hank, who was at least sparring enough to not shoot them on the spot and to allow them to join their team
I’m still developing a more in depth story for them so I will share that once it’s finished!
