Testament [noun] evidence; something presented in support of the truth or accuracy of a claim. [x]

[drulalovescas]

This is how Supernatural ended:

Me: Dean saves cas from the Empty and they reunite. We're going for a reunion hug.

Jensen: Gotcha.

*He doesn't gotcha. He fumbles with his hands.*

Misha: Dude, just hug me.

*They laugh*

Me: Jensen, we're fixing Dean's ending. You're bending the rebar. I'm holding this sign.

Jensen: *laughs*

Me: Jared, you're cheering. Thumbs up.

Jared: *laughs*

a life in your shape by averysoftno

Dean Winchester has spent his whole life cleaning up his father's messes. Now that his little brother, Sam, is settled in California and Bobby's got a handle on the garage, they convinced Dean to finally do something for himself. After a chance encounter at the Air Force recruitment fair Sam dragged him to, Dean got hooked on air traffic control, and he gets stationed at Kansas City Tower for his final leg of training. There, he has to impress his on-job instructor Castiel Novak, the ex-Air Force captain who piqued his interest in ATC in the first place. (And only in ATC. He swears. Those blue eyes and dark hair and stupid hat have nothing to do with it.) If all that wasn't hard enough, just one week into his OJT, Dean gets a call telling him his father is dying and has to move back home to live out his final days-which could be more like years. Dean has to decide whether to continue to let his life be defined by his father's mistakes and his misguided obligation to everyone else, or if he's brave enough-and strong enough-to find a life in his own shape.

A dream, mine:

spn s13 but with cas alive and jack's a baby, dean and mary are in the AU and lucifer is still on earth. Somehow sam and cas manage to save jack and themselves from lucifer but now they're on the run and they are both questioning their life choices. Sam's like super pissed because he's been baby trapped by cas of all people and he's now stuck with an unhinged angel and a baby that's half his nemesis, a nemesis with which he shares the most unfortunate, most fucked up, saddest "profound bond" of all time. Cas is pissed too because he was handed the shortest (technically the tallest but shhh) straw by fate and ended up with the wrong brother, what's worst, he's now forced, once again, to re-evaluate all his millennia-long prejudices against all kinds of abominations since he's stuck sharing a car with two of the finest examples ever produced. Jack is just a baby which means he cries a lot, wants to eat, does his things etc and the crying alone is enough to send cas and sam crazy. Cas resents sam because he thinks he's using the angel with the excuse that he doesn't sleep so he can look after the baby. Sam resents cas because he went doing his hot girl shit instead of following his plan. Things reach a boiling point when they're in a gas 'n sip, sam deep in "newborn lore" on his smartphone, trying to understand what a newborn can eat out of gas station food, and cas's exasperated because "we can just wear a white coat, go to a hospital and steal breast milk". Sam snaps and he's like "what IS wrong with you, dude?" and cas is so done so he's like "tell me, sam, what IS wrong with me, sam?". Sam's not dean and he's not above recounting all the times cas has fucked them over, fucked him over, he literally uses his fingers to start counting everything that's just wrong with cas and he sure as hell starts by telling him how thick an actual angel of the lord, "the fucking angel of fucking thursday has no feel" (sam's words not mine), can be to save a person from hell without realizing that the soul's not there when he basically did the same thing for dean so "uh cas, explain this to the hand, CAS-TI-EL"! And cas finds out that, after all, he's not that bad at this feeling and being almost human shit cause he suddenly feels very in touch with his feminine side and he's ready to remind sam how thick can he be to think that god was speaking to him telling him to open the cage, like "what sam, just because amara was speaking to dean, you thought god would have spoken to you, to you, SA-MU-EL?" They're one step close to a catfight, neither of them is shy enough to prevent it, they both can and will grab each other by their hair and grip tight to raise themselves from this domestic hell. But they're in a gas 'n sip, whisper-yelling about angels, hell, souls and god and people begin eyeing them, the clerk reaches for the phone. They stop and realize that, in their current state, they're both two male presenting beings somewhere in their forties or in their vicinity with a screaming baby in cas' arms and one call away from child protection services . Things are not good.

Meanwhile, dean is with mary, fake bobby and fake charlie having the time of his life in the fake purgatory copy that is the AU releasing all his decade-long repressed sexual energy toward a certain angel by killing angels with bullets made out of angel blades and knifing the occasional monster of the week that goes bump in the night. Things are good.

i was gonna do this song with tfw but i only finished deans part of it. eternal wip probably

Beautiful, intriguing and poetic paragraphs with a hint of melancholy, while a strange town starts to capture our heroes. If this atmosphere lures you in too you should definitely read Gentle Wings for a Nervous Dog by @cowboylikesawyer.

I loved the animal motif throughout the fic and Sawyer and I agreed to show it in the art too. One for each. I really love how these turned out, and one of my favourite thing how they mirror each other.

dean: hey, sammy... can we talk?

sam, worried: what's wrong?

dean: i think we might need to sit down for this..

sam, even more worried: okay...

dean: i want you to know that i'm still the same ok? just.. don't hate me.

sam, genuinely thinking his brother restarted the apocalypse: dean, you're worrying me. seriously, what is it?

dean, avoiding eye contact: i'm in love with cas. he's in love with me.

sam, relieved: OH! yeah no shit.

West | Art masterpost

Author: Desirae | Artist: dolgoyangi (hi, it’s me)

Summary:

When Dean’s grief is loud enough to wake him in The Empty, the entity casts Castiel out, but not without a price. He comes to in a barn in Pontiac, Illinois, with no memory of who or what he is. With nothing but an initial on the back of a photograph, and his heart’s instinct telling him to head west, Castiel begins a journey of self-discovery. Meanwhile, Dean is a broken shell. Rather than live under his brother and Eileen's pitying and concerned gaze, Dean decided it was time to move out of the bunker. With Jody’s help, Dean moves into a small lake house just outside of Sioux Falls, where he can mourn in peace and in his own time. Dean is determined to be better for Cas, even if it’s too little too late. Little does Dean know that it is never too late, as the Cas in Dean’s dreams is doing everything he can, to find his way back home. 

First of all, this is my very first bang and I was so excited and nervous about how it was gonna be. Desirae was lovely to work with, she was so supportive of everything I shared with her, and her story is so lovely and heartwrenching that I couldn’t have asked for a better partner for my first experience. Please shower her story with kudos and comments, because I legit got teary eyed when first reading it 🥹

That aside, I’m terrified about posting my art but here we go, I hope you all enjoy it 🙈

(P.s. I barely use Tumblr so feel free to scream at me on Twitter if you’d like?)

[mypeople-skillsarerusty]

Look, I don't know about you guys but when people start talking about their comfort shows and its something really sweet and it's a sit-in-with-a-coffee-lazy-day kind of show and they ask about mine I just kind of freak...like

Them: wbu?

Me: (nervous laughter knowing my comfort show is supernatural and it's the most chaotic, weird ass show ever) ummm... it's this cool show, you probably haven't heard of it...haha

My social skills are non existent, someone help.
