#selkie cas

[golby-moon]

I have zero self-control when it comes to creature!cas in any form so I saw a selkie!cas option for the @deancaspinefest and all other thoughts ceased to exist uh

I tried a mix of two styles for this fic's art by combining my usual thick black outlines with the crayon pen on Flipaclip to create layered colors, as per my author's request. this let me do almost like a children's story book vibe here but I think that's just the name of the pen talking. either way look seal Cas hdhfndi (and my attempt at drawing a boat but ignore that as well as the weirdly tiny credits)

here's Dean rescuing Cas who looks like he just woke up from a nap or something there. Dean's expression looked better before I erased half of it to make room for Cas' head and I'm now unsure what face Dean's really supposed to be making beyond exertion meets determination. I originally had a lighter blue sky here (as well as in the banner) but the author assures me the sky in Scotland only comes in grey, which has the added bonus of making this whole atmosphere a little more tense

it took me forever to get a decent angle for this one it was just weirdly impossible for no reason and I only got this after trashing six other partially complete sketches and it still looks kinda weird but it was unexpectedly impossible trying to get a view where you can see Dean and Cas. also just now realizing that the pipe on the showerhead leads nowhere oops

*obligatory image of Dean falling in the water while marine flavored creature!cas saves him (or, well, looks at him ig)*

still very bad at drawing water but an attempt was made though Dean's pose could be better and Cas looks too small to really be able to swim Dean back to shore. let's just ignore...all of that uh. I intentionally made Dean's outfit here symbolic and all that. in the other pics, he's wearing reds and greys but now he's wearing a tan not unlike Cas' trench coat (albeit darker) and his flannel is a mixture of blue and green, representing both the ocean and ofc him and Cas (desitle colors gjkdhdgf) because I'm weak and Dean was pining for so long that he subconsciously starting wearing Cas Colors ,_,

so yay style experimentation and double yay for Dean and Cas being dumb again 🎉

the fic this is made for is called "all out to sea" by @s7jacket for the deancas pinefest bang

Dress to Impress CAS challenge by @circusjuney

Prompt: Mythology

Selkies, for those unfamiliar, are shapeshifters common to Scottish and Irish folklore. They're said to be seal-folk who, on the night of a full moon, can shed their skins and take human form.

Legend has it that a man who steals a female selkie's skin can make her his wife, but she will spend her life longing for the sea. Once she finds her skin, she dons it and returns to the sea as a seal, never to be seen again.

Thank you to all CC creators! <3

all out to sea

Author: s7jacket | Artist: golby moon

Posting on Wednesday April 10

Growing up on a tiny Scottish island, Dean has heard the legends before—legends of creatures that swim in one form and walk on land another. He’s very sure they’re supposed to be fictional, too, but when he comes across the injured guy sprawled across the rocks clutching a dirty old trenchcoat, he has to wonder, as he takes him home, whether selkies truly are creatures of myth.

Keep reading for a sneak preview!

The hum of the engine pulls him back from his distant thoughts. The boat is sailing his familiar route—straight towards the horizon and left towards the trees on the other side of the bay. His little town wraps around the horseshoe curve of the island shore, with huge, thick-trunked pine trees creeping their way up the hills. Dean’s cottage, small and squat, sits closest to the water in all its unimposing, white-washed glory, and just beyond that, the homes and businesses are dotted haphazardly around, deferring to the natural landscape rather than the other way around. Birds fly overhead and roost in the roof of the pub, with the generational knowledge that dropped chips will be abundant there; parents send their children out on the agreement to be back by tea time, and those children become responsibility of the island, briefly, returned to their wild ways. The air is sharp and wet with sea spray. The wind nips in quick around unprotected ears and noses. Nothing changes but the seasons.

Dean turns off the engine and lets the bob of the tide pull them forwards. “Whoah, baby,” he soothes, patting the wheel the way one might gentle a skittish horse into submission. Dean, long used to the choppy waves, isn’t sickened by the gentle rocking; sometimes, it feels strange walking on the still, solid set of dry land. When the boat has found a rhythm, he dons the hat he never wears in front of Sam and steps to the side of the boat where the nets sit rolled up and ready.

“Okay, baby, you got this,” he says, and throws the nets overboard. He doesn’t expect a huge haul, nor does he need one—he only feeds the people on the island, and even then, some of them wait for the fancy stuff from the once-a-week supply ferry. They’re the kind of people who want their fish to come pre-battered, anyway, so he’s not losing out on too much business. While the nets sit in the murky waters below, Dean preps the ice buckets to throw the fish in.

He’s just about to haul the first net in when he sees—no, he doesn’t, and he puts his hands on the net again—but actually, yes, it is, sprawled across the the rocky outcropping on the starboard side of the boat. A guy, dark haired, broad shouldered and—yep, naked as the day he was born. There’s a flush creeping over Dean’s face that he tells himself is from the sun, as he leans out to look at the prone figure, as he cups his hands around his mouth and shouts, “Hey, you over there!” over the sea-soaked wind.

The guy doesn’t stir. If Dean was a betting man, he might wager he was dead (Dean is a betting man, but the only person to gamble with is himself, and he doesn’t trust himself not to cheat). A minute later, he shouts again, to no avail. There’s nothing for it. He’ll have to go over.

[le-panda-chocovore]

20 jours... 3 semaines demain.

J'ai finis les chocolats qu'il m'avait donné. Ils étaient délicieux, je les ai tous savouré avec plaisir.

J'ai commencé à écouter les vocaux qu'il m'avait envoyé. Ca fait mal de l'entendre comme ça, j'ai pris plusieurs pauses et j'ai seulement fini le premier.

J'ai fini par ranger les t-shirts qu'il m'avait laissé. J'ai failli les ressortir hier soir, mais au final j'étais tellement fatiguée que je me suis juste endormie devant mon ordinateur.

Je relis un peu nos conversations parfois, mais seulement les récentes, pas celles d'avant, de quand tout allait bien. Je pense que je suis pas encore prête pour revivre nos souvenirs heureux.

Je dors chaque nuit avec la dernière peluche qu'il m'a offerte. Elle est tellement douce, tellement cute, ça m'apaise un peu.

J'ai utilisé le V. qu'il avait acheté pour moi. J'essaie de me réhabituer à la sensation de plaisir sans l'associer à un souvenir négatif. C'est différent, seule, mais ca semble marcher.

J'ai perdu le poème calligraphié. Je sais plus si je l'ai jeté ou si je l'ai rangé quelque part. Mais je crois pas que ce soit grave. J'ai pas besoin de le retrouver.

J'ai mis l'argent dans une enveloppe, j'ose pas l'utiliser. J'ai un peu honte de me balader avec. J'ai l'impression de profiter.

Je pense à revendre certains des cadeaux, ceux que j'utilise pas. Je les ai mis dans une boite dans mon armoire pour l'instant. Peut-être que je les donnerai à ma sœur.

J'ai annoncé à une seule personne IRL que c'était fini. Ca m'a fait un pincement au coeur de dire "mon ex" à voix haute, c'était bizarre.

Je cherche où mettre son mot. Je dois trouver un cahier ou un classeur ou une pochette. Je devrais pas le garder afficher sur le mur comme ça.

Je sais pas si je renomme mon ours ou pas. Il a toujours eu 2 prénoms de base, peut-être que je vais juste garder l'autre du coup, même si je le trouve triste et un peu ridicule.

J'ai annoncé à Selkie qu'il y a eu "divorce." Bon, c'est une peluche et il a jamais rencontré son 'père' donc je pense qu'il s'en fiche, mais moi j'ai pleuré. Il m'a consolé.

J'alterne entre la playlist de rupture et la playlist d'amour, selon mon humeur. Les deux me donnent envie de pleurer, ceci dit. Et de crier aussi. Ca fait du bien et du mal à la fois. Bizarre.

Je recommence à passer du temps sous la douche. Des je revis nos dernières conversations dans ma tête, des fois je zone out juste. Mais c'est pas une bonne chose.

Je zone out et daydream de plus en plus souvent. Je me vois réexpliquer encore et encore pourquoi je pars, de toutes les manières possibles, avec plein de métaphores. Il ne comprend jamais.

J'ai fini d'enlever nos dates de partout. Même sur Steam, c'était le dernier car j'y vais jamais. J'ai gardé les screens ceci dit.

J'ai bloqué son numéro il y a quelques jours. A cause d'un pavé reçu littéralement 10 minutes avant un exam. Je suis trop stressée en ce moment pour gérer tout ça en parallèle.

Je dois avoir 7 ou 8 post en brouillon sur lui. Certains datant d'avant, des poèmes non finis que je peux pas supprimer. D'autres datent d'après, des pensées trop désordonnées pour être publiées.

J'ai repris la rédaction d'une vieille fanfic jamais postée. Elle me fait douloureusement penser à cette situation. La phrase phare : "aimer, ça ne suffit pas."

Je suis sur le même livre depuis 2 mois. Une histoire d'amour triste. D'habitude j'adore ça, mais là... J'ai jamais mis autant de temps à lire un roman. Mais je sais comment ça va finir : mal.

•·················•·················•

Voilà, je crois qu'on va s'arrêter là pour le journal de ma vie ? Je sais pas si y a d'autres trucs à noter, je suis fatiguée, j'arrête pas d'écrire depuis 4 jours avec tous les devoirs qu'on a à rendre et tous les exams qu'on passe.

Je pense que je vais reprendre Grey's Anatomy petit à petit du coup, j'avais arrêté de le faire seule pour regarder uniquement avec lui, mais va falloir que je me réhabitue... Je vais essayer de continuer de jouer à Stardew Valley solo aussi, j'aimais bien ce jeu, c'est juste que mon attention est facilement détournée.

Bref... Toujours pas à pas, parfois un de travers, parfois un en arrière, mais je crois que j'avance. La direction est moins importante que le chemin.

[apriciticreveries]

daily alnst oc question ! :

what mythical creature would your oc be ?

example :

i personally think aurien would be some kind of mermaid, with the moon controlling the ocean primarily and all . specifically, probably something like, a jellyfish mermaid, or even a selkie .

if aurien would be a jellyfish mermaid, she’d probably be a moon jellyfish at that as well . i also made this random connection between auri and jellyfish in how jellyfish have tendrils, and how in a way aurien would reach out with her tendrils to connect with everyone in her way of making sure to approach and get to know everyone at least on a surface level .

but if aurien was a selkie, id say she’d be a more toned down version . kinda like bronagh from song of the sea, as instead of following the . . normal legend of selkies, i think it was said she willingly became human because she fell in love ? i dunno .

anyways, i hope to see a lot of opinions ! i really like reading them myself : 3 .

( random note : modern au with cas, onyx, and auri being siblings when ? ? )

[moonshynecybin]

💗 for the ask game!!

a fic you’ve reread again and again and why!

okay this is long and rambling and contains ships i dont even CARE about anymore but here are the fics i KEEP rereading over and over again. no motogp on here yet cuz frankly i havent had the space to reread them without the accompanying braininsane etc, but these are the ones i pull up when im gonna be on a plane for ten hours or whatever:

and these, from atoms by kay_cricketed, charles/erik, xmen

NO ONE. has ever written a post xmfc fic that has adequetely addressed that character dynamic imo. EXCEPT THIS GUYYYYYY... tragically unfinished but worth it for the way it understands charles and erik's issues, opinions, affection, trauma, and politics (mostly).

The Fire Sermon on Mount Cyllene by kangeiko, prost/senna, f1

insane in the membrane vintage f1 yaoi spontaneous genderbend fic. it WHIPS

God Loves A Medic by stewardess, roe/speirs, band of brothers

listen this ship is insane but this fic is GOOD... eugene roe has healing hands....

the yungmeng accords by cafecliche, wei wuxian and jiang cheng, the untamed

the BEST thing about the untamed is the horrifically broken sibling relationship at its center. this fic understands that tragedy and ALSO understands that it can never quiteeee be remedied, but it matters that they LOVE each other... so good so yummy

in the shadow of your wings by Enochian Things (Salr323), destiel, spn

literally just so funny that cas gets an italian boyfriend and it kinda breaks dean's brain. love to reread for the schadenfreud

the long hangover by coffiocake, superbat, dc comics

another ship idrc about BUT. this fic is so good and i'd bet everyone has surface level familiarity with these characters enough to have a good time. FUN use for dramatic irony and presumed death... yayyyy

trust falls and probability excercises, vasquez/faraday, the magnificent seven

fr i dont even care about this MOVIE like at ALL but again this fic is fuckinggggggood. explores luck as a superpower AND another presumed death thing. arguably my fav trope sowwy

a few degrees warmer by bigboobedcanuck, winniz, band of brothers

= Suptober2024 Masterpost =

Well, it's definitely been a wild ride across several different pairings and a few different continuities, new and old! Every story will be going up on AO3 in between my work on Novelember, but here is the big collective Masterpost of all of the fics (with notes about continuity and content warnings) that I managed to write over the course of October. Since apparently the Great Pumpkin decided to bring me the gift of being able to write smut this year, the stories with "lemonade stand content" will be marked with a 🍋 [lemon emoji]. Please click responsibly!

Day 1: Autumn

Sastiel. Castiel takes a moment to appreciate the promise of the day and the one with whom he gets to share it.

Day 2: Spa Day

Sastiel. Sam gives Castiel a manicure, and Castiel has no time for Dean's more chauvinistic attitudes.

Day 3: Royalty

Sastiel, follow-up to Day 2. Castiel gives Sam a massage.

Day 4: Birthday

Gen, implied Sastiel. Canon-compliant, including the Finale. Sam really doesn't like celebrating his birthday for a lot of reasons.

Day 5: Scars

Sastiel, picks up from Day 3. It's Castiel's turn to get the royal massage treatment.

Day 6: Electric

Sastiel, prelude to Day 7. A case turns out not to be a case, leaving Sam and Castiel with a paid for motel room and a whole night of unexpected free time. No lemons yet, but the lube makes an appearance.

Day 7: Thankful 🍋

Sastiel, direct follow-on to Day 6. Castiel lays Sam out on the bed and gives thanks for the feast he is being given to enjoy. While the author is of the opinion that this is exactly the sort of content one should read in church, your respective clergical staff may not agree.

Day 8: Witch's Brew

Sastiel. Castiel eventually notices that Sam prefers tea to coffee and goes about ensuring his beloved can enjoy it more often.

Day 9: Moon

Pre-Wincest, set in the werewolf!Sam'verse, Dean's POV of finding out his brother isn't as innocent, or as human, as he used to be. Sam's POV is Day 28.

Day 10: Mushrooms

Jamstiel, set in the Grand Not-Coven of Palo Alto series. Witch!Sam and his familiar, Bones, take hunter twins Jimmy and Cas Novak on a foraging expedition.

Day 11: Myth

Sastiel, wherein Sam is Hades, Persephone is the name of Castiel's vessel, and the story of their meeting and getting together has a lot less kidnapping.

Day 12: Harvest Festival

Sastiel. Sequel to With Festive Airs Attending from the 2017 Sastiel Love Week. Companion to Day 30. Sam and Castiel go back to the Autumn Festival where they had their first date.

Day 13: Monster Mash

Wincest, set in the werewolf!Sam'verse after Day 19 but before Day 23. A werewolf, a hunter, and an Angel of the Lord walk into a bar to meet up with an Archangel hiding as a pagan god.

Day 14: Fave Episode

Swesson. Dean Smith is a very successful VP of Sales and Marketing, but he's kind of an idiot about his crush on the hot IT guy.

Day 15: Sigils

Inspired by Somebody Else's Thanksgiving by @posingasme , wherein Castiel is determined to warn Sam and Dean about Heaven's deceit and Sam has an unorthodox plan to derail the Apocalypse.

Day 16: Falling

Sastiel. Snapshot within the beginning of Day 31. Home repair is occasionally hazardous. Castiel has falling trauma.

Day 17: Wings 🍋

Sastiel. Follows Day 7, wherein Chekhov’s Lube from Day 6 makes its return appearance.

Day 18: Family Business

Gen, background Jamstiel. Set in the Fearie Court of Avalon, NJ series. Sam is a half-faerie prince, Cas and Jimmy Novak are his husbands, and Jack is their adopted selkie son. Summer break is looming and Jack's plans are apparently less foregone than some people thought.

Day 19: Dark & Stormy Night

Pre-Wincest (Sam is on board but Dean is oblivious), set in the werewolf!Sam'verse after Days 9 and 28 but before Day 13. Wolves don't like thunderstorms any better than small boys.

Day 20: Limbo

Sastiel, set in the Familiar'verse. Sam Winchester is a lawyer and practicing witch. Detective John Castiel Novak is a cat shapeshifter and Sam’s familiar. Dean Winchester officially works for the FBI as a hunter community liaison.

Day 21: Cozy Treats

Sastiel. Set after Day 4. Actual Curtain Fic. Finale-compliant, with fem-vessel!Castiel as the Blurry Wife.

Day 22: Ladies

Donnamelia. Takes place in the Faerie Court of Avalon, NJ series. Donna Hanscum is a selkie sheriff. Amelia Everett Richardson is a veterinarian specializing in magical animals and animal forms. Matthew Pike is their foster son and best friends with Jack Kline Winchester, who is the adopted son of the faerie whose magic helped Amelia transition in exchange for her first born child– Amelia’s suggestion. The child’s sire is either John Castiel Novak or James Constantine Novak, who are twins and Sam’s husbands, and donated their sperm to the cause by way of artificial insemination. Bechdel test compliant.

Day 23: Fever 🍋

Set in the werewolf!Sam'verse, approximately mid-season 3. Sam and Dean are pledged to Loki, and Sam didn’t die at Cold Oak. No demon deal, no looming Apocalypse. Full-blown Wincest ahoy!

Day 24: Branded 🍋

Set in the werewolf!Sam'verse. Immediate Part 2 follow-up to Day 23. Wincest and lemony goodness ahoy!

Day 25: Parody

Gen...ish? Apologies to Edgar Allen Poe. I had a plan, and then Dean decided to be a jerk.

Day 26: Enchanted

Sastiel. Features Castiel's true form, magical artifacts, and the perils of a patriarchal secret society. While sex is discussed, none occurs within this narrative. Will be expanded later.

Day 27: Prayer

Wincest. Set in the werewolf!Sam'verse. Immediate follow-up to Day 13, before Day 23. Asking Dean to pray is a bad idea.

Day 28: Graves

Pre-Wincest. Set in the werewolf!Sam'verse, concurrent with Day 9 and before Day 19. Sam's POV of the events of Day 9 and how he became a werewolf.

Day 29: Blue

Phoenix and Dragon'verse. Established Samichael, pre Casamichael. So. Many. Angel wings~

Day 30: Nostalgia

Dean-centric, background Sastiel. Companion to Day 12. Dean gets to kick back by himself for a bit while Sam and Cas are on their "couples retreat".

Day 31: Halloween/Costumes

Sastiel. Set in the same continuity and after Day 16. Curtain-ish fic.

Enjoy!

Archive Warnings: None given

Summary: In a raging storm, Cas saves an injured seal, only for it to transform into a man. As a fallen angel, Cas knows all about the supernatural – he takes the selkie inside expecting him to recover by morning. 

But things are far from that simple – the selkie barely remembers how to talk and has no recollection of having a human form. He can only remember his first name – Dean. Cas helps him recover, knowing exactly what it’s like to feel like the entire world is foreign, like your own body is the enemy. They chip away at the mysteries shrouding Dean’s past and become inextricably intertwined in the process.

all out to sea | M | 20,148

Author: s7jacket Artist: Golby Moon

Growing up on a tiny Scottish island, Dean has heard the legends before—legends of creatures that swim in one form and walk on land another. He’s very sure they’re supposed to be fictional, too, but when he comes across the injured guy sprawled across the rocks clutching a dirty old trenchcoat, he has to wonder, as he takes him home, whether selkies truly are creatures of myth.

Thirty Books in November Challenge - Ten day check-in

I’m going for it! November has thirty days, which means one book a day. So far I’ve read seven, but I have a plan to catch up (which involves some novellas and graphic novels).

Here’s what I’ve read so far. Writing reviews for all of them would take time I should spend reading Captive Prince by C.S. Pacat, but here are three short reviews.

The Girl from the Sea by Molly Knox Ostertag - The book that made me curl into a squealing ball

Of course I loved this. Queer romance, ocean bullshit, selkie bullshit. This graphic novel is an aggressively cute coming-to-age story which had me rocking with glee, laughing, and punching me in the feels. The art style is absolutely adorable too. One of the best graphic novels I’ve read for a while!

Love and Let Die by John Higgs - The book that was as wonderfully weird and thought-provoking as I expected

John Higgs writes some of my favourite nonfiction, always exploring fascinating ideas. 50% about The Beatles, 50% about James Bond, 40% about the British class system, and 5% about Russia. (Yes I know that doesn’t make 100%). He narrates the audiobook and he has a great voice for it.

Penance by Eliza Clark - The book that made me want to reinstall The Sims 3

Fuuuuck. This book has dick-punched its way onto my top 20 books ever. But do I recommend it? I don’t know. Do you like the sound of a faux-true crime book which tackles a lot of dark themes? Do you like unreliable narrators? Troubled teenage girls? Fandom, superstition and mid-2010s tumblr? (CW: death, murder, mentions of SA and CA)

Fingers crossed I get caught up by Nov 20th!
