From the Ocean Depths

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/msAHt2J by Celestial_Starlight CW: elements of hypersensitivity, body dysphoria, panic attack 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.

The Taste of Truth and Tall Tales

⚔️ All Previous Parts Here ⚔️

Dom x Colson (Yungblud x Machine Gun Kelly)

Warnings: future ABO, slick, heat scent, viking Col, fae Dom, desperate boys, sex talks, slight d/s, mild foot fetish, hints of ownership, cum tasting, teasing each other, working out rules, mentions of cunnilingus and hand jobs, slow burn ☠️ Rating: mature/explicit ☠️ ideas helped by @iamnotanearthlingmotherfucker 🖤

"Wha' you offering?"

Kol'son swallowed hard, the longer Dom's legs were spread wide the stronger his scent filled the room. It felt almost like an attack to the chieftain's senses, he couldn't believe his thrall was weaponizing his pretty pink pussy already. It was an untouched flower, a rose unbruised, an offering just for him. He felt broken with the question, he knew he was pausing too long and he was certainly staring too hard. He wasn't even trying to hide his longing or his cock that was throbbing between his legs. The way the boy presented himself was so… pure. He knew that might sound mad considering the kid was showing off his cunt like any beast in heat but it was true.

Even his dick was inviting in a way Kol wasn't used to. It was smaller than his own but thick enough his ass clenched at the thought of taking him, his throat felt tight at the ghost of a fantasy of his taste. He'd never thought twice about a man's shaft or balls and yet there he was wondering if he could get his mouth around them. Everything was smooth, the boy was hairless and soft in a way he knew the bed thralls worked to be. He was pink and glistening like a rose in the early morning and his smell was so strong he swore he could taste him like honey on his tongue. His boy didn't know how open he was being, he was acting on instinct not on some desire to be sexy. He didn't know what sexy was, he just trusted his master that much. Genuinely.

"You drooling daidí." The selkie giggled softly, reaching his foot to the man's face.

When the edge of Damhnaic's toes brushed the corner of his mouth Kol almost broke. He knew he made a less than manly noise but he was caring less and less. His love didn't have anything to compare it to, he could be honest here. He was safe. "I'm thinking about how good you taste." He growled low, curling his palm around the kid's ankle.

Dom whimpered, his hips shifting against his fur and trying to buck up as if to say 'well eat me then'- but the Viking knew he was probably reading into that. "Do I?" He asked softly, his breath shaking in his chest as he dropped his hand between his legs and soaked his fingertips. When he pulled them back to his face they were shiny with his slick and he flicked his tongue over them to taste.

The human cursed, his stomach aching with his need at the sight of his thrall tasting his own juices. He was getting so overwhelmed he was almost angry with it. He'd call him a bitch if he thought it were true but what made everything worse was that Dom truly didn't know how sensual he was. The innocence made it all the more a perfect torture. "Good?" He forced the question out, almost laughing when his boy furrowed his brows.

"It's alright I guess. Like yours better." Fuck if he wanted a taste he could easily get it. Kol had literally just cum not twenty minutes before but it didn't matter. He thought he might always be hard for his thrall and close to completion. He couldn't take the boy. He couldn't, but he knew if he denied him again it might break what beautiful bond was there between them. Dom was so open for him, his face a picture of trust and adoration. His cheeks were pink, his dark lips parted while he panted and waited for an answer, his eyes heavy lidded but tracking everything the man did.

"You're not asking to be bred?" He finally asked, clearing his throat. He swore the scent was trying to choke him but wouldn't that be the sweetest death?

Damhnaic groaned, his core clenching, the tingle there burning stronger just at the sound of that gruff voice speaking that fucking word. "I am, but we can take it slow." He purred back, his legs spreading wider unbidden. It was like he had to get his cunt closer to his master. He couldn't help it. Part of him was desperate to feel the Viking's cock spreading him open but as he glanced down at it a lump formed in his throat. He couldn't even get a finger inside himself, he didn't know where it would fit. "I'm yours, wha'ever ya want."

Kol'son swallowed a growl, he didn't want to scare the boy with how needy he actually was. He was the only one with experience, he'd have to take the lead. "If you're a good boy I'll start working on you. No matter what I decide to do, you have to promise to be honest. I won't fucking hurt you. If something hurts even a little you have to tell me and you can't bitch if you don't think it's enough. This won't happen overnight, you've never had anything inside you. Have you?" He knew the answer but he was trying to start an ongoing conversation about it and a back and forth between them to keep the trust. He needed his brat to know that while he was the king, Dom was allowed to be honest. He might be in control but… no matter what he called his love he didn't see him as his slave. He was safe to speak up, at least between them.

"No, jus' wha' you tried." The fae answered honestly. He knew he was close to something he just didn't understand what.

The chieftain took a deep breath and nodded, his muscles clenching all over to try and keep control. He wanted more than anything to dive between those spread thighs and devour what he was gifted but no. Not yet. "You're mine. I'll do what I wish with you. But if something is too much you'll tell me." It wasn't a request, it was a demand. He swore he could almost scent his love's moods so he hoped he could tell if something was wrong but this was a test in a way. He was making sure the kid would speak up. He couldn't even think of making love to him if he couldn't trust him to say no. It went with his earlier statement, if Dom called him master aloud he wouldn't fuck him. It was simple, he needed them to feel equal.

"I won't bed you until I think you're ready but I'll do with you what I want, when I want. If I call you to my lap and put my fingers inside you at dinner you'll let me. If I call you to me in the middle of chores and throw you to the ground to taste you-"

"I'll let you." Dom whimpered even though he knew he wasn't supposed to speak yet. Thankfully his master smiled at his impatience but he was starting to see that was part of what the man planned to teach him- how to take it slowly. He knew he would feel at his wits end and probably tortured long before he knew what it felt like to be impaled on that gorgeous cock. "I'll let you do any'fin. I swear."

Kol'son couldn't help but laugh, that wasn't the vow he had asked for but his thrall had the spirit of the matter at least. "As I was saying, I want to make sure it's good for you but fuck- I'm just a man. I'll take care of you when I think you need it. As long as you swear to trust me and tell me if anything hurts."

After a moment Dom nodded, his lip rolling between his fangs. "Course I trust you. But I swear. I'll be good daidí. I don't want nuffin to 'urt neither. Not me or you. Can I touch you?"

"Frey fucking help me- shit." Kol cursed, the boy was so fucking earnest and sweet and he didn't know what he was asking. "We'll see." Was all he could say.

"I can make you feel good. Already did." He purred and the smile he gave the chieftain was blinding and so adorably proud.

"Yeah, your ass is magic ástin mín." He joked, winking at his little prince. "But you want to-" His voice went thin and he had to swallow and lick his lips, the boy tracking every move. "-make me feel good? You want me to show you?"

"I fink I can figure it out." The fae huffed back, his chin rising with his surety. If his ass was good enough to get the human off it couldn't be that hard. He could figure it out. His thighs felt so wet, the pelt under him drenched in slick. Everything ached but he didn't want to say the wrong thing. He was too close to getting what he needed. At least hd thought.

"Oh yeah brat? Tell me. How would you get me off?" Kol was surprised at himself, he knew his thrall wasn't challenging him but the Viking knew himself. He enjoyed the power dynamics. There was a secret part of his soul that was howling at the gift he was given- a virgin who was so in love with him he could do anything. He had the ability to train his boy in every way he liked best and he could show Dom pleasures he never dreamed of. No matter what he did his thrall would think him a master of sex and he could have the perfect mate- bed mate in his love.

"I- I um- I-" Damhnaic blushed hot and felt a fresh wave of heat between his thighs. Gods he needed water or something. He huffed softly and put his hands together, his fingers linking as he made a circle about the size of his man's cock. When he felt those blue eyes staring he took a breath and tried to think what would feel good around his own. "I'd rub yas. Wiv me slick? Or 'old you in me mouf?"

Kol didn't know what noise left him but his dick jerked so hard he whined. Yeah. Yep. That would work. "Okay. So… you know a little." He huffed, leaning over his lap to hide his need. Dom smiled, his happiness evident but he was really starting to look a mess himself. He was trembling and soaked in sweat and visibly leaking from his cunt. Kol knew he needed to do something, the boy seemed almost ill with his desperation. "Nymph." He accidentally whispered, he wasn't accusing him exactly but… more and more he was starting to wonder if his love was human.

Dom's smile dropped, his heart in his throat. His master was still looking at him with so much adoration but he couldn't help but feel scared. "Is you asking?"

"Yes. No. Maybe?"

"I ain't tha'."

The Viking had never believed all the tall tales he'd been told, at times he even questioned if their gods existed after all he'd been through, but the longer he was around the prince the more he wondered. "You're magic." He sighed, it was why he didn't feel like he should touch him. Kiss him. It's why he felt too dirty to take anything from him. "That's not ink."

"Does it matter?" He could barely breathe with the fear and need warring in his chest.

Kol'son knew as the leader of his clan he should say yes. He should find out exactly who he'd welcomed inside his home but what he knew in his heart was- "No. I trust you."

"And you'll love me still?"

"Fuck yes." The moment was so charged and he knew he could lunge over the boy and do anything he wished in that moment. Dom trusted him. He just couldn't decide what to start with, he felt like he just returned from a raid and there was a feast laid out in front of him. No matter what he had to soothe the boy's obvious fear, he could taste the sour of it on his tongue. There was a spark between them that was threatening to burn the forest down and it was up to him to control the flames.

"Daidí please?"

Sorry this was a little short, I have my second PT appointment today but I didn't want to leave y'all with nothing. I hope it was good, I'm enjoying getting to see a little of Kol's darker side. I love that he finally admitted he liked Dom being a virgin he can train 👀 And I love that he's chosing to stay in the dark about what Dom is. They're sweet together though. What do you think should be Kol's first move? 🖤☠️

thwincest thursday

a day late, but, answering @red-meat-my-beloved's great WW questions.

what song describes samdean the most?

I really like Thousand Times by dehd. talks about.. healing you... fixing you.. wearing your skin..... Them

if they didn’t have the impala, what car would they drive?

I always like to imagine them having an old beat-up truck. with the amount of stuff that they'd have to haul around, living on the road, that always made sense to me. rough totes in the back full of witchy shit, clothes, held down with ratchet straps. the car is COOL, but it's far from practical. I always wanted to see the back seat full of their stuff.

is there a project you’re working on currently? Do you have a line or sketch from it to share?

I have several things on the go, actually!! shocking for me! here's a bit from a pine sweat epilogue.

what’s the first fanfic for supernatural you’ve written? Did you publish it? Or if you don't write: what's the first fanfic you remember reading?

I orphaned my first spn fic, actually! my first two. I was on my first watch through, and only on S4, and after I wrote a few more, the first 2 fics I wrote just seemed so saccharine and out of character that I wanted them gone. the first one took place in S4, dean POV, Dean comes back from hell and realizes he's in love with Sam. it was not a good premise but I liked the case part of it. had to do with a selkie. I may re-write that, now that I think about it. self-plagiarize, baby!!!

is there another codependent/emeshed duo from a different fandom you enjoy? Are there parallels to Sam and Dean?

would you believe... no? I tried to think about it, but, no concrete parallels. the last fandom I actively wrote for was the video game series yakuza, so it dealt with middle-aged men who want to kill each other. some enmeshment there for sure, but not codependency. samdean is new for me

what type of wincest dynamic do you currently enjoy most? (sexual, platonic, dark, fluffy, early seasons, etc.)

I always say fluffy until I read an actually fluffy fic, like, braiding each other's hair fluffy, and I realize it's not my jam. so I dunno! I like case fics. tense, sexy fics. misunderstandings and cruelty. not whump, but not fluff. crunchy stuff.

[selkiefinalist]

for director's cut: you promised not to write me an essay about nate's complicated relationship to his selkie heritage, but if I asked you to write me that essay??? If you aren't up for that, talk to me about your ej/sid ficlet because I, too, have thoughts and feelings and brainworms about two first overalls who went on two very different trajectories and also nathan mackinnon was there. -patrichornkissed

@patrichornkissed i do this for you even though you know i struggle to articulate things well. but if we are going to talk about nate’s complicated relationship to his selkie heritage (in that fic anyway), then i think we have to talk about it in terms of control, vulnerability, sameness, and tradition; and how sometimes nate wants all of those things, and sometimes he wants some of them, but most of them he doesn’t want to want at all. and at least a part of that fic is nate letting himself want.

control is a theme that’s so central to how i write nate, because this is a man who has built up so much lore about controlling his own destiny. changed his training! changed his diet! changed his therapist/therapy! he’s an outcome-based individual, and he can be pretty ruthless (in terms of his own soft-wants) when pursuing what i’ll call a hard-want. no euphemism intended. like, he will ignore the soft animal of his body if it means getting that big silver cup, you know. and the thing about being a selkie is that, at its mythological core, selkies are always in danger of giving up control of their lives. someone steals your skin and you can’t find it: game over. your life is no longer your own. of course in our modern era, that’s no longer such a threat - so instead i translated that into a physical need. he needs to change periodically in order to stay healthy; his biology requires that he face his selkie nature. he can’t cut it off entirely and continue to perform the way he wants to as a player. and he hates that, being betrayed by his own biology. i think you can see that in how he forces himself through the change, when he could let it happen more organically/naturally - he’s like, this is gonna hurt but let’s just get it over with, pain is temporary. and you know i love setting up that kind of life approach because it informs his choice to go all-in on ej even when he knows from the outset that it’s likely not going to turn out the way he wants it to.

that segues into vulnerability, i think, because nate has to change - and, even though the likelihood of someone stealing his skin and trapping him in that salt-scoured shack by the seashore or whatever is very small, it still exists. any time he’s changing, any time his skin is exposed. there’s risk. i played around with the ending scenes a bit in the original outlining, and one of the versions of the end that just didn’t fit anymore by the time i actually made it there was a scene where ej steals nate’s skin in CA, and nate lets him. like, it was implicit that ej would give it back if nate wanted him to, but nate was like, ‘keep it, it’s safe in your hands.’ not to mention the moments where he’s actually changing, naked and in so much pain on a dark beach. not an elegant moment, not the way you want your partner to see you when you’re trying to seem sexy and cool! but he gives that to ej from the very first beach scene - just hands himself over. and at that point, ej definitely doesn’t know what that gesture means - i don’t think nate does, fully, either - but i am here to tell you that gabe wasn’t gently draping blankets over nate or tucking his own hat over nate’s cold little ears, and nate definitely wouldn’t have let him. it might be fun to write that scene, actually (“fun,” lol, punch me in the face please) - from a previous season, gabe taking him out. just to see the differences! of course i told you this already, but that progression of car scenes and beach scenes, and having to painstakingly layer in growing intimacy until we get to that vancouver beach where nate’s like “you should watch me,” and ej finally does. tricky to execute but i do think i did okay with that. MY POINT IS, clear to me from the beginning that nate really wants that vulnerability - he literally gives ej shit about not looking at him in the first scene - even if he hates the implications of being vulnerable. he’s seeking it out from ej specifically because he trusts him not to use it against him. WAAH

sameness is really just in relation to hockey culture; nate’s not the only selkie in the league or the only two-natured, but the league enforces certain privacy standards not just to protect players but to keep that otherness from making any one player stand out too much. all nhl hockey players, at least to some degree, have to buy into that homogenous presentation. and for nate, the chips are already stacked a bit against him, because he’s not the same. more of an undercurrent in the fic but another complication - physically being a selkie can create issues with his play, socially it sets him apart from the team (his pod), and professionally could be seen as a liability from the league.

finally, tradition. on a side note, i’d say world-building in general is one thing i’m actually good at, and i was drafting (early draft) that trip back to cole harbour for christmas and realized i had done almost nothing to actually build out selkie culture. so i had to invent the chest and robe stuff really quick and then go back and insert that lore into other scenes. those symbols ended up working well, i think, but were certainly not part of the original outline.

okay, back to tradition. idk this is going to be a mess, but selkie tradition in this fic is very much draped in privacy, secrecy, and following the rules. how not? if a literal stranger can steal your entire life, you gotta be careful about things. but they live separately versus communally, and are pretty tight-lipped, even with each other. insulated, kind of. and i think like any young person, some traditions are more meaningful to nate and some just seem like a pain in the ass, especially when you know he’s not necessarily the biggest fan of his selkieness to begin with. but traditions also hold a lot of weight, at times. and so nate has to kind of negotiate for himself and within himself which he wants to keep, or at least acknowledge he’s not as detached as he thinks he is (that moment on New Year’s Day when he thinks ej’s about to hit him with a robe, for example). and you know, when he gets to see ej’s whole-hearted acceptance of him, sees ej start to engage in those traditions in his own way, he lets those traditions take a bit bigger foothold i think. also i just wanna cry a bit about baby nate carving little pine trees and stuff on his own chest, putting shells and pucks and dog collars and other important mementos in there :(((((( ok, sorry. if this is a fic about nate growing up, which at its core it really is, then part of it is that moment we all reach as adults where we get to choose what’s important to us or what parts of our histories we want to honor and what we want to let go of, and who gets to be part of that future.

i could go on and on and on and probably point out more things every time, like that meme with the guy and the pictures and the connecting lines but. here you go, fwiw <3

wren, i know this is a somewhat personal question but have you ever felt unsafe or uncomfy when you went out all bimboesque? i'm a little scared of real life repercussions bc yes, while i do fantasize abt strangers taking advantage, i wouldn't want that to become a real, dangerous situation oof i hope u know what i mean. do you keep safe somehow? i'm sorry if this is too personal

omg no it's not too personal, and honestly i'm really grateful you asked. obviously this is a kink blog and i'm talking a lot about fantasy and fun and etc, but i really also love an excuse to talk seriously about it, especially since so much of the tumblr nsft community doesnt

the answer is yes, unfortunately. i'm lucky in that i live in a major city, where alt fashions are more common and turn less heads; it's not new york or anything, but i get way less shit than i did when i lived in Small Town USA. and it's a fucking shame that i sometimes feel like i have to compromise my style because men (and some non-men, but it's mostly men) can't behave. getting oggled or taken advantage of is sooo hot in theory, but in reality, that shit's just scary.

the thing is tho — at least in the major city i live in — i have gotten catcalled and whooped at nearly as much in long little house on the prairie style dresses as i have in miniskirts. the last time a man followed me anyplace i was in a knee-length selkie dress; not exactly the picture of sexy. this isn't to say that concerns about dressing too slutty aren't fair, but i want to emphasize that this shit is about men and their desire to punish folks who exist outside the 'appropriate' flavors of gender expression. it is not your fault or your clothe's fault if someone harasses, whether you're wearing a maxi dress with a high collar or god's shortest skirt. that's on the freak harassing you.

you have to navigate to what extent you're comfortable, and to what extent you're willing to compromise your style to avoid discomfort and stay safe. this is true of almost any alt-fashion, unfortunately. i'm extremely confident in myself and my style and hard to upset, so men catcalling or whatever neither bothers or scares me, but i still take some steps. i only go out in extra slutty fits when i'm with friends because i know men won't be as weird to me if i'm not alone, i stick to heavily populated areas when i am alone, and while i love to flirt and act ditzy and etc, if anybody starts crossing lines or getting too close, i abscond immediately. i also don't flirt with folks at bus stops or the like due to the risk that we'll then be stuck on a bus together and they'll know where my stop is and etc.

and like, this sucks! it fucking blows that i have to do this. but any person, especially fem ppl, who doesn't dress in a 'normal' way will have to navigate this until men learn to be normal. like i said, though; i turn more heads in a bimbo look, but in terms of actual harassment or shit, that often happens regardless of what i'm wearing, and i've luckily never been attacked or assaulted by a stranger. i wish i had a more coherent answer for you; something where i could say 'if you do xyz you'll be safe for sure' but that just doesn't exist. freaks will be freaks no matter how you look

this all being said — i will say that i get far more positive responses (particularly from women, lol) when i go out dressed to the slutty nines than i do negative, and overall it's fun and rewarding and a joy, or i wouldn't keep doing it. i get far more compliments than i do bad vibes, and i feel good. i don't want this answer to scare anyone out of a style they sincerely like. if you're just getting into it, just err on the side of caution at first while you feel out how your community reacts, and you can go from there.

A Sweet Sting of Salt

A Sweet Sting of Salt by Rose Sutherland

i have to get this out of the way first: i can't stand this cover. it doesn't match the book at all imo. this cover says "sexy YA romance," and doesn't say "queer historical fantasy" to me at all, and folks looking for sexy YA romance will be disappointed, and folks looking for queer historical fantasy will have a hard time finding it. but my feelings about cover design aside, i did in fact look closer at this book, and decided to read it, and loved the hell out of it! a very charming pearl inside an oyster. which is actually not a great metaphor, because i like the way oysters look aesthetically, and i do not like the way this cover looks aesthetically. i'll stop going on about it, i've typed enough words that the image has gone mostly above the fold.

so! this was a lovely book! it's set in the early 1800s in Nova Scotia, which i know nothing about, but that didn't actually matter to my enjoyment. it's not really about the history of the time, aside from the way of life and social mores of this little town by the ocean. which is a plus for me personally because i'm bad at/not terribly interested in historical Events, i'm always more compelled by the characters and their relationships. so i was very compelled here by Jean, unmarried twentysomething lesbian midwife; Jean's mentor/surrogate mother Anneke and her friend/surrogate brother/fellow queer Laurie; especially compelled by Muirin, the "mysterious" Scottish wife of Jean's neighbor.

i say "mysterious" in quotes only because it takes Jean quite a while to figure out what's going on with Muirin, on several levels--which is not a problem! Sutherland does an excellent job of keeping Jean's gradual understanding believable, while also giving the genre-savvy reader everything we need to see the story under the story. the dramatic irony is delightful. the slow building love story is delightful. the dips into historical queerness was delightful, well-balanced and given with nuance. the climactic tension was tense as hell, the resolution made me weepy, and best of all...selkies!! surprise, this is a selkie story, which is one of my favorite things. it's a struggle for me not to be one of those white girls who is uncomfortably woo-woo about what she thinks is the witchy pagan spirituality of her Celtic ancestors because one of her great grandfathers came over from Ireland. selkies bring it out in me though T^T

the deets

how i read it: an e-galley from NetGalley, which i read in one sitting after work yesterday, cuddled in bed. what bliss.

try this if you: saw The Secret of Roan Inish at a formative age and/or just are into selkies, love seeing historical queers find ways to be together, dig kidfic, or long for the ocean.

some bits i really liked: Muirin and Jean being relatable

Jean caught a glimpse of Muirin's back past his shoulder; she sat on the bed in the far room, gazing out the window at the sea. Jean couldn't have said why she was sure Muirin was looking over the woodlot to the bay, and not at the trees or the empty field behind the house, but she was certain of it, somehow. Muirin had grown up on an island, and she could be twenty miles inland and still have seagulls in her eyes., was the sort who'd pine if she were kept from the shore for long. Jean knew sea-longing too well not to have seen it in Muirin. Some people had salt water in their blood.

---

No, what Jean minded about going to church was the people. She was already beginning to chafe at beginning so closed-in with neighbors and didn't want to be in town long enough to have to come again next Sunday. She wasn't used to having to see and talk with a dozen different people and more each day anymore. Maybe in a bigger place it would be different? Where you'd see people but not know them all by name, and have them know you, too, and want to stop you to tell you all about their children, and their business, and their neighbor's business, too. Where you wouldn't have to wonder what they were all thinking about you, or guard yourself as close.
