Hi there lovely! Here’s my information for the Sons of Anarchy Ship/Match-up

Features: I’m a female, standing at 5’6, I possess long light brown hair with a tint of redness in the sunlight. My hazel eyes change each day from green/brown to brown/gold. I have the sun and moon tattoos on my thighs, a shark up my side torso on my ribs, half an arm sleeve and a neck tattoo revealing my zodiac sign – Gemini (which I often hide) I’m slender with curves.

Hobbies: I am a workaholic; it becomes my hobby at times. I work in the funeral home, removing the deceased from the POD. I enjoy my free time spent with my dogs, my fierce Doberman and my lovable, motivating exercise collie partner. I enjoy reading all things Stephen King and James Patterson and playing any horror related video games. You guessed it, I’m a strong advocate for the horror genre, and Freddy Krueger will always have my heart. I watch SOA and SPN religiously whenever I tilly tally around the house.

Personality: Often seen as an outgoing, happy go lucky, eccentric lady (This is from first judgement from people I know) When really, I’m rather introverted and possess way too dark humour. I collect knives, different types ranging from a replica of the SPN demon blade, to a jungle machete. These are all encases in a glass shelf, only used for display. I love to make others laugh, and I’m incredibly loyal to those I care for. I don’t practice religion (I support others who do) as the only thing I believe in, is the reaper.

Aesthetics: Not sure if this is a term but my house is very much cabin like. Wooden beams, brown features, brown clocks with black accents. I love this kind of theme, heavily decorated with green plants and fish tanks.

Likes: Lover of being at home, with my man and the dogs. Also a lover of all things spooky. I enjoy long hot showers with my candles lit in the shower itself, It’s so peaceful. I love to read, whether it be books in my hand or online. Sadly, I am a smoker, so my time alone on my patio having a cig is therapeutic to me. I adore time spent with my little family or my close friends whether it be going to the pub for a beer or shopping at Walmart for new bedding 😊 Coffee is my best friend.

Dislikes: My biggest dislike in this world, is seeing animals mistreated. I am that person that buys the near dead betta fish at the pet store and brings it home to treat and watch thrive. I dislike SNAKES. They just scare me, but don’t wish any ill will on them. Hypocrites are my triggers, can’t stand someone who preaches to the choir about wrong doings when they’re actively just as guilty. Own your shit is my motto.

Brief fun facts about me!

Used to train canines for search work, in areas such as narcotics and explosives. My closest friend is my grandma. I love to wear black. My go to perfume is good girl. I play COD often – I’m competitive in nature. I wear the SONS rings as I got them custom made, and it’s my favourite accessory!

I put way too much into this post, but hopefully it’ll help lots with finding my best ship! Thanks for taking the time to do this 😊

Want one? Here be the rules 🦋🌈

You LITERALLY sound like a character from Supernatural?!?! Are you sure you aren't Bobby's long-lost daughter or something?

Also being a canine trainer?! Um... are you the coolest person in the goddamn world? I think so.

𝑫𝒆𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏

𝑰 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑶𝒑𝒊𝒆 𝑾𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒏! I think you guys would be such a perfect match. In a way, you remind me of a cool-ass version of Donna? You seem very strong - emotionally, mentally and physically. Opie is a quiet guy, very loyal and genuine. You don't have to worry about him being manipulative or having underlying motives. He practically wears his heart on his sleeve but does his best not to show it.

𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒔

・You’d both be very level-headed and know you can trust the other. Opie is incredibly loyal, and if you showed to him the same loyalty, then nothing could come between you.

・I think Opie would put on a brave face to watch horror movies, and he finds some scenes funny. Although he gets tight-lipped when there’s a lot of gore (feels a bit guilty?)

・He’d actually like one of your favourite horror movies, and love getting themed gifts from you

・Opie would love staying at home with you - you two would move in together and make your home a paradise. You both have a similar aesthetic. Cabin, rustic, and cosy, Opie would absolutely adore your dogs.

・I think you would fit in with the club very easily. Gemma would be wary of you at first, but realise you aren't someone that's easily pushed around. You would definitely grow on her without realising it.

Summertime Thing

Okay, so really I should be working on the first chapter of this (which I actually have a hard deadline for on the 18th, sorta—more on that later), but I promised @laveracevia and @redmyeyes and @notwhatiam (and also an anonymous Tumblr person) that I'd post the bullet point outline for my angsty wincesty teen Sam novel so here it is, all three-thousand-plus words of it. Still tentative and with a fair amount to fill in, but that's what makes it an outline. (Has anyone yet beatified the SPN showrunners for setting the bar for research so ridiculously low? Praise be unto them! 😂) So, without further ado:

• It’s the summer of 1999 and Sam is sixteen.

• They’re living in rural Arizona for the summer, in a little town in the Chiricahua Mountains called Bisbee that I definitely didn’t live in for three years.

• Bisbee’s a weird place. It used to be a wealthy mining town, but in the ‘70s the company pulled out and the economy crashed. Some of the residents are old mining families, some are old hippies and artists who moved there due to the picturesque scenery and bargain-basement real estate, some are early baby boomers looking for an inexpensive place to retire. There's a surprising amount of live music, an absolutely thriving conspiracy scene, and the local police blotter is a smorgasbord of weirdness.

⁃ John picked it because it’s the county seat (which means lots of local records) with cheap housing and residents who don’t ask too many questions. Dean loves it because it’s straight out of the a Western—several famous movies filmed on Main Street, and the theme-park-town of Tombstone is half an hour’s drive away. Sam hates it, but in fairness, Sam kind of hates everything right now.

• Sam’s getting regular beatdowns with the puberty bat—he’s growing what feels like an inch a week, his voice is randomly cracking, he’s ravenously hungry all the time, and his moods go from happy-go-lucky kid to moody teen to full-on young-adult angst on the turn of a dime.

• Most terrifying of all, his relationship with Dean is fracturing. Dean can tell he’s having a hard time of things, of course, and tries his best to cheer Sam up. Sometimes they get on great; other times, even being in the same room as Dean makes Sam feel like his skin is three sizes too small.

• The frustrating part is, no matter how much of a shit Sam is, Dean won't give up on him entirely, just gives him space for a day or two and then reaches out, like—“hey, come keep me company while I give the car an oil change,” or “hey, sounds like there’s a hell of a party going on up the gulch—let’s go sneak in, I bet they have booze, maybe we can get you laid,” or “hey, Dad said we can take the car, let’s drive to the new mall in the next town and go see a movie. Anything you want.”

⁃ Sam definitely picks Cruel Intentions, intending to make Dean sit through something he’d find boring, but it backfires—the incest subplot ends up making him even more uncomfortable and Dean, predictably, digs watching Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair make out onscreen.

• Dean is having the time of his life this summer. The town is picturesque, the bars don’t look too closely at his fake ID, Sam’s old enough to fend for himself mostly, and he even gets an evening gig as a bar back a few nights a week, which means he has a little cash. Sure, Sam’s been weirdly moodly lately, but it’s just puberty, it’ll pass.

• Sam, meanwhile, is on his own a lot, with John either out working, out drinking, or buried in his notes; he spends a lot of time walking down to the library over the post office, which is surprisingly extensive, but more importantly, air-conditioned. If he has a couple bucks he might go to the new coffee shop by the library and buy an iced tea for lunch.

• At some point when John’s gone, Dean brings home Tina, a local bartender. Weirdly, they don’t seem to be sleeping together, at least initially; mostly they just hang out, easy with each other in a way that makes Sam jealous.

⁃ Sam hates it when Dean brings home girls (for the obvious reason that he gets kicked out of the house, of course), but he actually hates it more when Tina starts hanging around regularly, all the more so because she’s always very sweet to him—but Dean’s into her and that means Dean’s attention is on someone other than him.

⁃ Tina keeps working on Sam, and eventually he confides in her—he hates their life, hates lying to people, hates the ceaseless travel and string of anonymous motel rooms and constant scrambling for cash, but Dean loves it and he loves Dean. She mentions having a sister that she has a complicated relationship with, too.

• One day John announces that they’re taking a day trip as a family together, and they drive up to the Portal-Paradise area, which is a sky island—a mountain forest surrounded by desert, surprisingly lush and peaceful, with stunning views from the peaks.

⁃ It’s also a fairly cursed place, with bullet-riddled “KNOWN HUMAN TRAFFICKING AREA” signs and a cluster of boarded-up hovels from the ghost town of Paradise that definitely don't look like a Bender compound waiting to happen

⁃ After they've wandered around a bit, taking in the gorgeous landscape and sheer relief of being amongst so much green after months in the desert, John has them all pile back into the car and takes them up to Sugarloaf Peak. As they're climbing the mountain, he mentions that the fire watch station at the peak is a great place to watch for {insert signs of supernatural phenomenon here}. Sam gets upset at that, accuses John of using their family time for hunting. Dean points out (quite reasonably) that their family time has always been hunting together. John goes into Marine mode and shuts down the conversation, Sam grumbles something about "just because it's always been that way doesn't make it right," and goes into a sulk.

⁃ As he's sulk-climbing up the peak, Sam becomes convinced at one point that he hears running water. John tells him that’s unlikely before monsoons start, and to keep climbing. Sam keeps hearing it, though, and asks Dean whether he hears it; Dean listens, but doesn't hear anything. Sam falls further behind, trying to see the source—he catches a glimpse of something shimmering amidst the few trees and strikes off looking for it—but there’s nothing there, only a cliff that he nearly goes over. Dean comes up behind him a minute later, urges Sam back up the trail.

• The next day at the library, perhaps driven by Dean giving him shit about hallucinations, Sam starts looking into the history of water in the area—they’ve driven over the San Pedro River but it always just looked to him like a muddy creek. He learns about the 1877 earthquake that broke the water table and reshaped the water in the area, lowering the San Pedro's level and transforming St. David from a malaria-ridden swamp into a town of artesian springs.

• Later that week, Sam’s sitting outside the coffeeshop possibly reading Flowers in the Attic when he hears the older woman at the table next to him insisting that mutants are living in Paradise, only coming out at night, kidnapping people and murdering them, mutilating their bodies and leaving them for the sheriffs to find (and cover up, naturally). Sam is only half-listening—conspiracy nuts are a dime a dozen in this town—until the woman's friend asks patiently where they're getting water from, and the woman says something about haunted springs in the forest. He pretends he’s Dean for a moment, cuts in on the conversation, says he’s doing an independent study project over the summer. The woman fills him in on not just the one disappearance, but several over the past decade, mostly border-jumpers and itinerants.

• Reading between the lines, Sam starts to wonder if there’s a vampire nest in Paradise; he takes down some names, starts putting the research skills he's been learning to good use. He looks up some of the newspaper records on microfilm, finding records—occasional mentions in the Bisbee Observer (and before that, the more legitimate and much less typo-filled Bisbee Daily Review) of people missing, reading up on the history of Paradise.

• He comes back from the library, excited to tell Dean and John what he’s found, only to find John gone and Dean and Tina halfway through a case of beer she brought; they invite Sam to join them, and Sam does. Drunk!Sam ends up talking a lot about how cool the sky island forest is and trying to convince Tina to come with them to see it, but Tina seems oddly resistant. She changes the subject, tells them about her sister, how she was so dominant that she couldn’t tell where her sister ended and she began. Sam starts to feel a sort of kinship with her.

• The next morning he wakes up, discovers that Tina and Dean are gone. He wanders out to where John’s working in the living room, tells him what he’s found. John, who got in late the previous night and is singularly focused on demon activity, is a little condescending towards Sam—there’s dozens of conspiracy theories circulating through town, and besides, if there were actual vampires in Paradise he'd have found some direct evidence by now, they’ve been here more than a month.

• Sam is adamant about going anyway—"you always say it's our job to look into things nobody else will"—and maybe John's a little swayed by Sam's passion (or maybe Sam threatens to steal a car if John doesn't take him). As a sop, John gives Sam the keys to the Impala and tells him to come back if he needs help; as he's about to leave, John calls Sam back, gives him a tenner and reminds him not to head out to the middle of nowhere without supplies. Sam stops at the Circle K, packs a couple jugs of water and some nuts and jerky, and takes off; he’s a little pissed at Dean for ditching him the previous night (and also for, he assumes, sleeping with Tina) so he doesn’t bring him along.

• A couple of hours later, he’s jouncing up the road. The road is empty, as usual, the sun is hot, as usual. Sam gets to the border of the sky island, where the sun is less ferocious, and pulls off at the first group of abandoned houses. He goes to investigate; the first two are empty, barely more than hovels. The third looks empty, but he spots a table with no dust on it; looking closer, he finds a trap door down to a cellar.

⁃ Sam knows he should go get Dean, but he’s still feeling jilted, so he goes and grabs a machete from the Impala’s trunk

⁃ Carefully, he makes his way down the rickety staircase into the basement, shining the flashlight around—and is nearly jumped by a middle-aged woman, yelling at him in Spanish. He has some high-school Spanish but not much; he manages to ward her off, convince her he’s not ICE or Border Patrol. She still doesn’t trust him, but he notices the two children in the corner, the chains holding them there. In Spanish: “Why are they held?” “Coyote,” the woman spits. “Went to demand more money from my family. Should have been back three days ago. Probably drowned in a bar.” Sam doesn't 100% understand but gets the gist—the empty water jug in one corner and stinking bucket in another tell most of the story. The disappearances, the mutilated bodies—it's nothing supernatural, just people doing awful things to each other.

⁃ Sam picks the locks on the chains, tells the woman to wait a moment; he goes out to the Impala, gets the food and a jug of water, gives them to the woman. She’s still wary, but accepts the gifts. She tries to give him a warning, something about water, though his Spanish isn’t quite good enough to make it out; she also presses on him a small figurine, clearly very old, something that looks like a mermaid.

• He gets back around twilight, finds Dean and John bent over photocopies of local records. John sees him come in, asks him if he found anything. Sam opens his mouth, intending to tell him about his day…then decides against it. Just says there’s no vampires. John grunts in acknowledgement, mind already elsewhere.

• The next morning, Dean's missing again, so Sam stalks off to go swimming at the community pool. He’s doing laps, trying not to think about anything, but Dean keeps coming to mind, the way his eyes met Sam’s when Tina was talking about her sister, the way they felt almost hungry. It keeps haunting him, something about that hunger��he's walking back down Main Street, past some of the shops and galleries that sell local art to tourists, when he sees a large painting of La Tlanchana that bears some resemblance to the mermaid figurine—the woman’s warning comes to him again, and two pieces click together in his mind.

• He starts researching La Tlanchana and her various legends and beliefs about her over the years, particularly drawn by the darker and more vengeful incarnations that the Aztecs worshipped. He starts formulating a theory about the disappearances, that they’re linked to…what? A haunted spring? A mermaid? He’s so tantalizingly close…

• He comes home when the library closes, all excited to tell Dean what he’s found and get his input, but John and Dean are both gone; Dean’s bed is rumpled, and the sheets smell like…well, they smell like Dean and Tina, in a way that makes Sam’s stomach flip with jealousy. It's not that he hadn't guessed that they were sleeping together, but...he’d thought Tina liked him. He’d thought…Dean belonged to him. Little things like the hollow of his hip when his jeans rode low, or the way his knees bowed out when he walked, or the tightness around his eyes when he was trying to hide something—

⁃ —does horny uncomfortable 16-year-old Sam sit on the bed and envision his brother and Tina together and end up desperately rubbing one out right there on the bed? Oh yes he does. Afterward, roiling with several emotions (of which only some are shame), he half-considers going to the bar to look for Dean—but he has more trouble passing for twenty-one, and besides, what is there even to say?

• The next day, Sam intends to sleep late to avoid Dean, but his brother comes in at ten or so, in a disgustingly good mood. “Come on, Sammy, you’ve been cooped up in that library too long. Tina was telling me about a cave up on Mule Mountain, supposed to be a great place for a picnic.” John is still gone, and Sam’s in no mood, but can’t really say no to Dean.

• The brothers strike out over Mule Mountain, watching out for snakes and wildlife, looking for deer. Sam tries to explain to Dean his half-formed La Tlanchana theory, but Dean just humors him. Sam, nettled, starts griping about Dean’s navigation skills, about the way he sounds like their father, about all the time he’s spending with Tina, etc.

⁃ Dean deflects, but Sam’s upset about a lot of things he can’t acknowledge, so he starts in on the major sore point in their relationship—ripping on John for trapping them here, for never letting Dean be a kid, for always demanding their unquestioning obedience and loyalty, etc. Dean tolerates Sam’s griping to a point but once he starts in on their father it’s only a matter of time before he’s threatening to kick Sam’s ass; when Sam gets to the “he’s never let you be independent” part, Dean informs him with no small amount of anger that John has offered to give him the Impala, let him take jobs on his own—but he refused, because he’s been taking care of Sam—

⁃ They’re so caught up in arguing that they miss the way the sky’s going dark—it’s not until the first crack of thunder splits the sky overhead that they shut up and look at the sky, which is incredibly threatening

⁃ Sure enough, a moment later it starts pouring, with all the ferocity of a full-on faucet. Dean whoops, shedding his shirt like it’s an old skin, and dashes for an overhang that might shield them from the worst of it

⁃ Sam swallows and follows, soaked to the skin and shivering as much from fear as from cold. Cue the most miserably sexually-charged moment possible—Sam tryiing desperately not to notice all those little intimate physical things about Dean that he loves, Dean oblivious and in his element watching the storm transform the landscape

⁃ There’s a moment—maybe Dean says something like “Whatever it is that’s been eating at you, spit it out, Sammy—“ where Sam almost confesses. But cowardice, or perhaps intuition, hold his tongue—some secrets don’t need to be told. So instead, he passes it off as moodiness, apologizes. Dean confesses that he’s not actually all that into Tina—she’s fun, and all, but he knows they’ll be moving on soon enough. He lets slip that John’s halfway convinced that there’s no case here, anyway; they’ll probably be moving on in a week or two. Reluctantly, they allows things to revert to the status quo; as a consolation, they find a waterfall and eat slightly soggy sandwiches alongside it.

• The next morning, Sam wakes up to an entirely different town—the hills are starting to turn green, people in town are making plans to picnic by the waterfalls, everyone’s mood is lighter. Sam realizes he’s already looking at the town differently—as yet another place that’ll be in the rear view mirror soon, not as a place he inhabits. He’s coming to terms with that—glad for it, in some ways—when something tips him off that things aren’t right. Maybe the crackpot dude tells him the cycle is beginning again, or he overhears some gossip about how Tina didn’t show up for her shift last night, or sees something in the police blotter. Regardless, he ends up convinced that Dean and Tina have run off to the sky island and that Dean is in danger. Sam once again channels Dean, steals a county truck and floors it out to the sky island, this time forgetting to bring any supplies.

• Sam arrives in Paradise but sees no sign of Dean or Tina. He realizes he's parched (even flooring it out to the sky island, it's a good hour's drive); he listens for the water sounds. Instead, he hears Dean’s laughter, low and beckoning. He follows it, finds Dean standing shirtless in a spring, the version of Dean that terrifies him, untouchable and threatening and irresistible. For a moment he's almost taken in—but he knows Dean like nobody in the world, and thus knows a copy when he sees one. Not-Dean smiles, shimmers, reforms into the more familiar mermaid form.

• La Tlanchana (or this version of her) tells Sam how he puzzles her. She usually kills violent men, and Sam has a lot of violence in his past, and a destiny of violence in his future—but he was kind to the migrant mother, and undid some of the horror she’s seen done in her land. She sings for him, a lullaby of sorts, luring him away from his life of violence and yearning—

• Sam’s about to submit to her song when Tina appears, tells her to stop, that Sam’s destiny is his own to choose. La Tlanchana sneers at her, the same way you did? and Tina says yes—I’ve chosen you. It’s been more than a hundred years, and you’ve seen so much horror, grown vengeful—but I still love you, your kindness, the way you give life in the desert. They sing together, their voices intertwining, until they turn to water, melding together.

• Sam shakes off the daze, goes back to the truck; a few minutes later, he finds the Impala, bogged down in the rutted post-monsoon roads. He shakes him awake, questions him to see what he remembers—Dean appears to have been hypnotized, or something similar. He uses the truck to pull Dean out of the rut, tells him to return to the town, everything's over. Dean will have questions later, but for now he goes.

• Once Dean is gone, Sam goes back to the pool, now a perfectly mundane little monsoon-fed spring. He takes out the little figurine of La Tlanchana, sets it on a rock nearby, tells both Tina and her sister goodbye, and thanks them for their help.

• Epilogue: Sam is beginning his junior year in yet another new school. The smell of the school is the same, as are the lights (flourescent) and the lockers (stamped metal that echoes when it slams); he finds the guidance counselor’s office, lets himself in. The counselor looks up at Sam, comments on both his excellent grades and his peripatetic record. Sam: “So, if I wanted to go to college…”

Top 5 fanfic tropes you like reading and Top 5 fanfic tropes you like writing

Top 5 Tropes I like Reading:

5. Modern AUs

I'm not actually a big fan of fantasy, horror and the supernatural. I'm mostly into SPN for the characters and their dynamics. I mainly read realism and literary fiction in novels, so if someone manages to transport the characters into novel-length plotty or character-driven modern stories, I love it. I don't really like High school settings, but anything from college to coffee shop to stuff I know nothing about is fine. I didn't like AUs when I first got into SPN, but the longer I'm obsessed with the show, the more open I am to all kinds of settings and worlds.

4. Case Fics The trope lists said this is a trope and not just a genre, so I'll take it. I love a well-written case fic with great characterisation, especially if it's Sam-focused. I also really like love stories or stories that focus on interpersonal trouble with case fics as a secondary plot – perfect for Sam & Dean stories. It provides such a neat story arc and I'm always impressed with how much better fan fiction cases tend to be compared to actual cases on the show. Case Fics are how I like to get most of my Gen fix, too.

3. Slow Burn

If I'm in the mood for a straight forward love story, it's always Slow Burn. It's pretty much the only way I enjoy stories that aren't dark or overly sad (depending on the pairing I sometimes even like some fluff this way). I especially like Slow Burn with obvious mutual pining and lots of miscommunication. Maybe one person 'obviously' being unavailable for whatever reason.

2. Unrequited Love Suprisingly difficult to find. Especially in longer stories. A great subcategory is unrequited love combined with themes of asexuality and aromance. It doesn't have to be necessarily fully unrequited love, but just they want different things. Basically I enjoy the dynamic: Person A wants something from Person B that they can't give/don't want (but they really care for Person A). (Or maybe they don't. Also good!) 1. Love Triangles These are so hard to find. At least the ones I'm interested in. I have only ever read a handful of the type I like, and I always go insane when I do find one. I don't like stories where one person is the 'bad' one and there is a pairing that is obviously supposed to belong together. I like the dynamics of people wanting different things and being unable to negotiate between themselves. I like people being torn and indecicive, making wrong decisions. I like reading what jealousy does to people. I like when love isn't described as destiny between two people, but as a journey, and when relationships are hard. I've honestly thought way too much about why I love this trope so much, but I don't know. It's not just fan fiction. I eat it up in novels, tv shows, movies... The tragedy being, again, that it's mostly handled in a stupid way. If there's infidelity, I don't want excuses, I want to see the consequences. I want to see what acting or not acting on impulses does to people. I want people sad and not getting what they want.

Top 5 Tropes I like Writing:

5. Cas has no grace /Sam has powers It's pretty much the same trope, just switched.

4. Slow Burn Friends To Lovers & (apparent) Unrequited Love Write what you know. 3. Lucifer/Halluficer returns Obviously I like reading this too, but with writing it happens unvoluntarilyy. I just always end up slipping in Lucifer in some shape or form. I guess I just can't ignore a main character's lifetime of hell trauma very well. Sam's relationship to Lucifer is one of my favourite things in the show. That itself isn't tropy, but the 'Oh look, Sam is feeling bad, let's make him see the devil' kind of is.

2. Love Triangles So, I know these are really not 'en vogue', but I already talked about why I love them above in general. With SPN and TFW specifically I love them because they feel, um, quite canonic to me. They all love each other in some way, and if you crank that up a little, violà. And even if you don't: a platonic love triangle is still that ('I mean, who are you gonna turn to next time instead of me? Another angel?'). If you devote your life in such an insane way to just one person, there's not really room to have a full-fledged relationship with someone else in any normal way without letting go. 1. 'Someone (Dean) is gone' Not sure if it's a trope, but I always end up writing this. I think this came up when I started wanting to write Sastiel and felt there was no way for Sam and Cas to explore anything with Dean being there. Not because Dean would necessarily 'disapprove' but because they are both so focused on and centered around Dean. And I also just love the hole Dean leaves in Sam's life, and the way it makes him free and disorientated at once. Because when Dean is gone, he's almost taking more part of the story. For Sastiel stories that means you get them both emotionally confused and vulnerable and... yeah, just typing this makes my fingers itch. Dean being gone doesn't mean dead. This also works with MOC Dean, Michael Dean, Dean in purgatory, Dean being sick, etc.

Overall, I don't really like reading very tropey writing, although it can be fun. I mostly like character-driven, slow stories focusing on interpersonal drama that make me sad. I'm honestly a lot more picky when it comes to writing styles than tropes. I'll give any trope and any pairing (bar Sabriel) a chance, but I nope out pretty quickly when the writing style doesn't work for me.

Bisexual Dean

9/12/20 - Is Dean canonically bisexual? That’s a fun question (it depends on where you live, I suppose). Anyway, nothing is stopping you from reading these beautiful fics involving a very bi main character.

Tabula Rasa by Dangerousnotbroken on AO3. (78,340 words).

Tags: Writer!Castiel, Bartender!Dean, Past Relationship, Magic, Canon Typical Violence, Mentions of Alcoholism, Mentions of Past Child Neglect, Mental Illness, Witches, Ghosts, Bisexual Dean, Bisexual Castiel, Angst, Slow Burn, Memory Loss.

My Rating: 5 stars.

Description: Once upon a time, Castiel Novak had everything. He had a happy home life, a full scholarship, and, if he played his cards right, a promising journalism career. And on top of all of that, he had Dean. Then tragedy struck, as it tends to do, and Castiel lost everything. At thirty six, he’s got none of those things. He’s got no family to speak of. He’s got a job investigating purportedly true tales of the supernatural for a magazine no one reads. And worst of all he hasn’t seen Dean in nearly twenty years. So when research for an article turns him on to a witch who apparently grants wishes in exchange for stories, Castiel figures it’s worth the risk. If making a deal with a witch can get him Dean back, what has he got to lose?

Notes: This was absolutely amazing; written beautifully, with a fantastic plot.

Take You To The Country by almaasi on AO3. (18,987 words).

Tags: Historical AU, Propositions, Eloping, Newspapers, Fluff, Forbidden Love, Misunderstandings, Pining, First Kiss, Established Relationship, Running Away Together, Moving In Together, Childhood Friends, Marriage Proposal, Businessman Dean, Farmer Dean, Emotional Dean, Bisexual Dean, Domestic Dean Winchester, Clockmaker Castiel, Autistic Castiel, Frustrated Sam.

My Rating: 5 stars.

Description: A Dean/Cas 1950s AU. Dean reads an elopement proposal in the town's local newspaper, written by some old soul in love with their best friend. He's mid-way through expressing to his brother how beautiful he finds it when Dean realises the proposal is for him.

Notes: I love Sam’s subsequent letters to the newspapers at the end, it was just a really good idea done really well.

A Little Slice Of Heaven by onamelancholyhill on AO3. (112,265 words).

Tags: Slow Build, Friends to Lovers, Falling in Love, POV Dean Winchester, POV Third Person, POV Castiel, Bakery and Coffee Shop AU, Episode: s4e17 It’s a Terrible Life, Alternate Universe - Human, Explicit Sexual Content, Bisexual Dean, Idiots in Love.

My Rating: 5 stars.

Description: Jim Morrison once said, “The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are.” That was Castiel Novak’s motto in life, and the reason why he accepted his grandmother's inheritance and took the responsibility it implied. Dean Winchester, a remarkable accountant at Sandover Bridge & Iron Inc., however, had other priorities. He lived to serve, hidden in a mask that didn’t allow him to be honest with himself, but lonesome and boring. When destiny made their paths cross, in a less than promising way, with Dean as the instigator and Castiel as his victim, Dean’s mind started wandering, in between pies and cakes, coffees and muffins... What if Mr. Morrison was right? After all, as the guy used to say, "there can’t be any large-scale revolution, until there’s a personal revolution first."

Notes: This was so cute and I adored the plot! It’s making me want to rewatch It’s A Terrible Life but I’ll live.

Just Like You by imherecauseimnotallthere98 on AO3. (35,717 words).

Tags: Homophobia, Homophobic John, Hurt Dean Winchester, Protective Dean Winchester, Established Relationship, Protective Castiel, BAMF Castiel, Protective Sam Winchester, Angry John, Angry Dean Winchester, Angry Sam Winchester, Protective Bobby Singer, Awesome Bobby, Hurt/Comfort, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Scared Dean, John Being an Asshole, Swearing, Bisexual Dean, Pansexual Castiel, Past Child Abuse, Accidental Outing, Death Threats, Fluff and Angst, Implied Sexual Content, Sharing a Bed.

My Rating: 5 stars.

Description: When John shows up at their door in the middle of the night, the Winchesters and Cas start looking into who or what could have brought him back. Meanwhile, Dean struggles to keep his relationship with Cas a secret from his father, with some help from Sam. The tension rises between the Winchesters as Dean shows John that he is no longer the obedient little soldier he once was, and tries to establish himself as an equal with his dad.

Notes: Bobby and Sam are icons in this and should have followed through on their threats. That will be all.

Walk Through Fire For You by purple_charlie on AO3. (2,332 words).

Tags: John Winchester’s A+ Parenting, Angst, Pride, Marijuana Use, Polyamory, Gay Cas, Bisexual Dean, Bisexual Gabriel, Everyone is Queer.

My Rating: 4 stars.

Description: Boyfriend. The word still feels foreign in Dean’s mouth, still brings back echoes of John Winchester’s thinly-veiled (if even that) homophobia. "Man up, don’t be a sissy, I didn’t raise a fairy". It’s a swollen blister in the back of Dean’s mind, throbbing with pain whenever a stranger’s eyes linger too long on Cas’ hand in his, whenever a waitress double-takes at how close they sit in diner booths. But here, dirty dancing with Cas in a warehouse full of other queer folks, Dean wants to shout from the rooftops- I’m Dean Winchester, I drive the baddest car in town, I lift heavy things for a living, and this is my boyfriend.

Notes: This was so sweet it nearly made me start crying - Cas deserved to be told that he was loved!

Bottom’s Up by mnwood on AO3. (28,103 words).

Tags: Fluff and Crack, Wing Kink, Domestic, Smut, Bisexual Dean, Resolved Sexual Tension, Established Relationship, Wedding Planning, Partying, Weddings.

My Rating: 4 stars.

Description: Sam could’ve kissed them both when he got to the bunker one day to find a string of clothing (his heart nearly burst with hope when he saw the abandoned flannel and trench coat) leading to a very naked pile of limbs tangled on the couch. Just kidding. Of course it wasn’t the couch. Sam always imagined it as the couch because the fact that he actually found them on the dining room table had tainted the happiness of the memory.

Notes: Jesus, I did not need that level of detail into Dean and Cas’ sex life (but it was very funny).

Stories Are Made Of Mistakes by wildhoneypie on AO3. (4,942 words).

Tags: Human Castiel, Diners, Hurt/Comfort, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Bisexual Dean, Sharing a Bed, Slow Burn, Slow Build, Case Fic, Domestic, Didn’t Know They Were Dating.

My Rating: 4 stars.

Description: In which Cas is human and doesn’t understand basic concepts like: clothing, Mythbusters, moisturizer, and Greek food. Dean is…Dean and doesn’t understand basic concepts like: boyfriends, language, how to tell your friend that he’s a walking miracle, and when not to quip.

Notes: This was so cute and I live for human Cas. I also love the recurring ‘no fucking quipping’ joke in this, although the idea of Cas swearing broke me a bit!

And this one, which has no Destiel content but a very bi Dean:

Uniform of a Winchester by monsterfuckerdean on AO3. (20,591 words).

Tags: Canon Compliant, Missing Scene, Bisexual Dean Winchester, Bad Parent John Winchester, Young Sam Winchester, Young Dean Winchester, Pre-Season 1, Episode: s5e2 Free to Be You and Me, Angst and Feels, Queer Themes, Character Study, Diners, Sibling Love, Family, Friendship, HBO SPN.

My Rating: 5 stars.

Description: We all know the story of the amulet Dean wears around his neck. But what about everything else he wears?

Notes: Okay, I have to admit that I am loving the HBO SPN vibes even though I am fully aware that if it was a real show I wouldn’t watch it. This is so good though, and the writing is gorgeous!

My friend came out to me as bisexual this week, and paired with the mess that is the Spanish dub, I thought this would be nice as a little reminder that it doesn’t matter how the show ended, because the fans will always be here and we will always be supportive. Anyway, enjoy!

One-shot, art and short fic dice chooser

This is a menu of my one-shot and short fic set ups. Everything is decided by a collection of DnD dice. These are for my own fic writing purposes but people are free to make requests of me, or to use the dice set up themselves. But when making requests of me, please be aware that the following are MY pairings and the pairings I am willing to work with, I’m not willing to work with anything not on here. many of these are rare pairs because I am a rare pair shipper. Also, I do not ship Destiel, wincest, Bagginshield, Kiliel, or Durincest. Also, I do not write hardcore smut. I do write sex scenes but they are not graphic.

Please feel free to use this generator and adapt it to your own needs, but please give me, the creator, credit because it took me an entire day to create.

The Fall ‘18/Winter ‘19 Edition of…

It’s a better-late-than-never situation, but it’s finally here!

*~* New to The Nail? *~*

The Nail isn’t about perfection. It isn’t about award-level contenders. It isn’t for highlighting certain genres of fics or specific ships. It’s about seeing real effort and hard work radiate off of the screen - the sole focus is quality. Character dimension. Writing with clever readers in mind. Well-built worlds. Killer starts and clutch endings. Crazy crisp dialogue. Incredibly tight plotting. More shows, less tells. Big emotion.

Find past editions HERE. Find what factors are considered when constructing this rec list, and learn how to get your recommendations to me HERE. Find info on the structure of these rec posts HERE, with answers to FAQs such as “Why did someone make up a title for my piece?”, and more.

>> The Basics On What’s Below <<

- All from the world of SPN (unless otherwise noted, i.e. cross-overs), across all genres; these are organized by length for the most part, so you’ll need to click thru to see if it is a theme of your preference; I aim to not have too much that’s of the same genre/length in a given edition, and limit the times a writer can appear on a given list (if they had more that fit the bill, I’ll chuck ‘em to next edition’s list); when applicable, unique projects, original stories, and any anecdotes/personal essays/family stories/etc. are near the end.

- You’ll see icons throughout…

If it has NSFW elements / walks an NSFW line - ⚠️

If it features / blatantly alludes to a specific ship - 🚢

If it has less than 100 notes (at time of this post) - 📌

And that last item is very important.

- A main priority of The Nail is to have at least 50% of these one-and-done SPN stories (so, drabbles and one-shots) be those which have less than 100 notes (give or take a few self-reblogs by the writer, and not counting mine) in each posting, and for this edition, out of 36, these comprise 26 so the goal was met!

Highly encourage you to at minimum hit the heart, ideally reblogging along with a note of feedback if you enjoyed. To do my part, I’ll be queuing these low-note fics one per day after this edition is published.

- Reblog of this rec list by “big blogs” (let’s say 1K followers and up) is especially appreciated, and not for my sake; it’s to get these wonderful writers with low note fics as much exposure as possible.

- Writers, make sure you scroll - you may be on here more than once!

- “Notes from Nash" at the very bottom of the post.

- For your mobile convenience, here’s The Nail Master Post of Editions

- And finally, shameless plugs....

See Nash Write: Master List

You Totally Made That Up podcast - @youtotallymadethatup

Note: Just a line or two excerpt to paint a little picture - no specific feedback on these drabbles because each writer nailed it in the entirety - all are poignant, well-structured, thoughtful, and they did it all in a limited amount of words. Well done, all of you.

181 words

The Wishes 📌 - @sixtysevenandwhiskey

It’s a lot of nothing, until nothing is all there is.

182 words

Stars 📌 - @covered-byroses

She loved looking at the stars.

223 words

Storytelling 📌 - @always-keep-writing

He shouldn’t be surprised that it ends up being a story.

230 words

A Long Forty Years - @babybluecas

Sometimes, he’d wish he was so much older.

352 words

Control 📌 - @idreamofhazel

If only Dean knew the other, more biting things he holds under his tongue.

370 words

His Hair 📌 🚢 - @gabrielfallstonight

He often wondered if, by spending as much time on Earth as he did, he was growing almost human.

427 words

Topper - @alleiradayne

Coffee. He just needed a cup. Or four. Okay, maybe the whole pot.

483 words

Tedium 📌 - @smi727

This situation was something Michael simply could not abide.

555 words

Kids These Days 📌 - @revwinchester

A little behind-the-scenes interlude wherein Dean has an interaction with some kids in town. In medias res, OCs developed in a short amount of space, thoughtful/nice message without being preachy.

560 words

Four Months Expired (But Still Good) 📌 🚢 - @bendingsignpost

A delightful scene based on a premise that could've gone saccharine but stays the just right amount of sweet and humorous.

(I cannot tag this lovely, if someone would be so kind as to try to do so in the comments, it would be appreciated!)

570 words

Black 📌 - @sculptorofbeginningslibrary

An introspective look at Dean in the time between waking up with his demonized soul and when he left the bunker; doesn't merely recap what we know; nice take on the physical changes; excellent characterization.

633 words

Smoked - @ameliacareful

A snicker-worthy tale of what should be an ordinary shopping trip, but as we know nothing can ever be simple for the brothers; well-structured, solid characterization, concise descriptions that put you right there with them.

(I cannot tag this lovely, if someone would be so kind as to try to do so in the comments, it would be appreciated!)

664 words

Last Night - @atwistoffate

A brief interaction between you and Dean that is a perfect balance of snarky and cute, and (thank Chuck) Dean is portrayed realistically, and I personally salute the writer for not uttering a single Y/N or sweetheart (it can be done, folks). I'd also be remiss not to highlight this beauty: “You know what? I don’t even care,” Dean says, caring deeply.

714 words

Stay - @there-must-be-a-lock

Absolutely beautiful moment between you and Sam that doesn't get weighed down by over-dramatic pining, in part thanks to a sandwich. In medias res; descriptions that paint the picture without diving too deep; lovely from beginning to end.

812 words

Carolina 📌 - @atc74

A first-person, introspective tale of an interaction Dean has with a stranger. In medias res; sets the stage from the opening paragraph, putting you right into Dean's shoes; well-developed OC in short amount of time; great closing lines.

841 words

Strange Gifts 📌 - @lastactiontricia

Michael gives you the "gift" of knowing your potential fates. In medias res; great structure/descriptions that convey the mood without being belabored; clutch open-ended ending.

1.1K words

Syruped and Feathered 📌 - @mrswhozeewhatsis

A snicker-worthy on-the-hunt tale where you and the Winchesters get in a... well... a sticky situation. Ahem. Sorry, couldn't resist. Oh, and there's a surprise guest star that'll make you grin. In medias res, nice flow, creative use of prompts.

1.2K words

Don't Panic 📌 - @koedeza

Beautifully written, somber tale about what eventually happens in the lives of hunters. In medias res, excellent structure/flow, fantastic characterization, clutch ending. Keep an eye out for this writer - they are consistently solid and do not disappoint.

1.3K words

'Til It All Falls Apart 📌 - @lipstickandwhiskey

Angst done right in this story about what Dean might've gone through after Michael was cast out. Good flow, no laborious explanations of what we already know, reasonable actions/reactions from all.

1.4K words

Bite Me, BitFit 📌 - @shy-violet-soul

Exactly what you think from the title - a funny story about Dean's battle with healthy living. In medias res, nice structure, great characterization, several killer lines.

1.4K words

Eggshells 📌 - @hunenka

A coda to Nightmare Logic, this tackles Dean's internal processing of life as he now knows it, Sam in charge and what feels like a million people in his home. Beautifully written, Dean is as accurate as it gets, excellent flow, plausible scenario.

1.7K words

Told You So - @there-must-be-a-lock

How to do hot and sultry without smut - read and learn. This is a story about what should have been just an ordinary post-hunt night back at the bunker, when it turned to something more. Great opening paragraph, easy flow, trifecta of snarky-sweet-sexy.

1.8K words

Brother 📌 - @sixtysevenandwhiskey

An exquisite look - to use the writer's words - at Dean over the years, through Sam's eyes. Excellent structure/verbiage, no unneeded repetition of things we already know, good use of song inspo, plausible within canon, feels genuine throughout.

1.8K words

The Lie 📌 - @sophisticated-angel

Stunning tale (and add this to the pile of "Why the hell doesn't this have more notes?!" stories) about what happens to those who are left behind after a loved one dies - but as always in the Winchester world, nothing can ever be routine. In medias res, creative plotline, moving and heart-grabbing that leaves you with both a sense of rightness and a sense of unease.

2.9K words

The Unexpected Guest - @crispychrissy

Per the writer's summary - "A day of researching takes a turn when you see something from your past that leads to some interesting discoveries." But, wait - this is so much more. Pay attention as you read, because the writer has left you clues along the way (starting with the title), and it's done quite deftly. In addition - nice blending of humor and drama, time taken to research the creature featured clearly evident, clutch ending.

3K words

Easier To Be Me 📌 - @alleiradayne

A Sam + Reader story labelled "floof" by the writer, but it's sweet without bending saccharine; in medias res; great opening/closing lines.

[Nominated by @atc74 who said - “So I have read a couple things of hers, this I read a while ago, but it deserves some love, because it is just that good. Hope you like it This was so wonderful. Well written and beautiful."]

3.1K words

Teeth 📌 - @lastactiontricia

Do you want to read something spooky that’s based on a true story, with a fantastic plot that has roots in a true story, which features well-developed characterization/accuracy in characterization, and is - in case I didn’t mention it - based on a true story?!

Read this. Find you a cozy corner, grab the drink of your choice whether it’s bourbon or hot chocolate, wrap up in a blanket, and Read. The. Story. It is unique, it is well-written, quality top to bottom, and it’ll give you the feels, tips to toes. Stop wasting your time on the same ol’, same ol’.

READ THE STORY

(Part of a collection, all are fantastic, so see also: Halloween Horror SPN One Shots Masterlist)

3.3K words

Lay Me Down 📌 - @stusbunker

A solid case fic here that balances itself with some cheekiness thrown in amongst the drama (and a bonus for me, not a "Y/N" in sight - it can be done, folks). In medias res, moves at a quick clip, great line here: "The spell spread quickly, like spilled water on a tabletop..."

4.9K words

Shadow's Edge 📌 - @saenalife

A story of what happened one night when a routine retrieval of an item goes sideways. In medias res, excellent opening line/paragraph that perfectly sets the scene/mood (I mean - "Dark seems like too shallow a word for this. It goes beyond the absence of light - more like the light has never existed here at all..." - hello), creative plot, great structure (specifically: flashback/forward done right), and bonus kudos for switching things up with a feature not seen with regularity, that of a gender neutral lead.

5.6K words

The Wonders of Modern Technology ⚠️ - @littlegreenplasticsoldier

If you aren’t familiar with Greenie, she’s another one of those rare writers ‘round these parts who gives us consistently solid stories with a unique style that’s all her own, and this one is no exception, a humorous tale of a piece of equipment that doesn’t exactly malfunction, but we’ll just say there’s, ah, user error [wink].

5.7K words

Like Ocean in the Desert 📌⚠️ - @saenalife

Borrowing the writer's summary - "Baby needs some work before Dean can get back on the road. He went to the salvage yard for parts, but what he found was a human connection." In medias res, well-developed OC, nice premise, great structure/flow.

[Nominated by @littlegreenplasticsoldier who said - "Here’s a prime example of notes misaligning with quality. Pfft. Criminal. This is the third time I’ve read this."]

6.4K words

The First Bite 📌 - @shy-violet-soul

A story from the way-back-when, and as for feedback, I’ll let the curator take it away....

[Nom'd by @mrswhozeewhatsis who said - "Confession: I love Weechesters. So, this fic was already up my alley from word one. Add in pie mentioned just in the author’s note, and I was already a happy camper! Imagine my surprise when I was sniffling halfway through because wee!Dean was just killing me! The OCs are very well fleshed out, without being distracting, and the whole story was just so well-written I finished it just wanting to hug everyone. The grammar and other technical stuff was at least flawless enough that I didn’t notice it, and the whole story just unfolded in front of me like a cootie-catcher. I think I’m in love, and I might go read it again, even though I should be writing. *swoon*"]

6.8K words

Gutted - @idreamofhazel

A case fic with some Dean + Reader sweet-n'-sultry on top. Nice opening paragraph that sets the tone, solid characterization, very creative plot/creature featured, excellent structure.

6.9K words

About Dean's Dreams ⚠️ - @fanforfanatic

This writer has yet to disappoint - and this story is damn near pristine from start to finish. It’s an actual, on god, Dean-in-character dive into the woman of his dreams. Sound fluffy or angsty? Nope. You’re wrong. It isn’t either. What it is, is just right. I’m not telling you any more - when you next have time to sit and read and really absorb an introspective Dean piece, make this your first choice.

Say hello to a new (-ish!) writer, @salt-n-burn-em-all !

Doors 📌

You will not believe this is just her 2nd SPN fanfic - captivating and moving, and even if you're swiping a tear away, I think you'll find yourself with a smile at the last three words.

East of Nowhere ⚠️ - @thecleverdame

You and Sam are strangers trapped in a desolate mountain town where you live alone, isolated from the outside world, for five years.

Very creative scenario that takes you on an intimate journey and - most importantly - has quite the satisfying reveal.

How You and I Will Be - @katehuntington

When a hellhound case in the mountains goes sideways, Dean and you find yourselves trapped in a small cabin, miles from civilization. Rescue is on its way, but will it be in time?

Opening paragraph sets the scene perfectly, you'll find yourself there immediately, and it's a plausible scenario of a hunt gone wrong. (We do love our case fics here at The Nail!)

If This Is A Dream 🚢 - @wendibird

Sam receives a tip about a restless spirit haunting a particular patch of woods in South Carolina - one who has asked for him by name. He must now deal with the thought of putting to rest someone he once cared for, but will things go that simply?

Phenomenal opening line/paragraph that puts you in Sam's headspace from the jump, and boy howdy can we all empathize with him, and it's a plausible scenario, one I personally haven't seen tackled til this.

Men of Cold Cases - @smi727

Sam had uncovered hundreds upon hundreds of cases the Men of Letters had never closed, [and the] idea was to investigate what those stodgy old nerds never got around to. Given the cases were at least 60 years old, the chances that any were still active were slim to none. They should all be milk runs…

Fantastic concept, completely original, and well-written to boot. Bonus? The writer has based the plots on actual cold cases and mysteries, and provides you links to the stories behind the story so you can learn more.

The Ellison Lane Legacy - @sixtysevenandwhiskey

Sam finds a case. You’re reminded of a past you want to forget.

Cheers for a well-rounded original female character who is tough and vulnerable all at once. Interesting and creative story that's heavy, yes, but thanks to skilled writing the flow keeps it moving vs. getting mired down.

Wrath 📌 - @waywardjoy

Shakespeare gets a run for his money here with a small fic inspired by some of his words. Beautifully composed, from the title to the usage of the lines, flows like a dream, evokes big emotion, and puts you right there in the action, breathtaking from start to finish.

The Runaway Vessel 📌 - @butiaintgonnaloveem

A creepy re-working of a popular children's story that will stay with you after you read it. Killer first line, clutch ending, and a detailed, stunning piece of artwork to boot from @lostmymuseagain, what a match made in heaven. This one dug deep, and definitely read like a cautionary fairytale about fate and choices that grandparents would tell/read to the children on a dark night around the fire, give ‘em a bit of a chill in spite of it.

Ring-A-Ling - @winchester-writes & @littlegreenplasticsoldier & @mrswhozeewhatsis

To think, it all started with an innocent post about a tiny bell - get ready to laugh.

Ten Years Gone - @cinnamonanddean

This is a short-and-sweet, most worthy exception to a The Nail rule that no RPF will be on the list, wherein Jensen reflects upon his time on the show.

Carriers - @violetwolfraven

Daddy Loves To Be Murdered - @gabesnonnie

Slay Ride - @bendingsignpost

The Awakening - @rmeisel

The Chosen One - @copperbadge

The Night - @later0varies

Bedtime Stories & How Chad Got His Name - @lostmymuseagain (also see the artwork related to the Chad story here)

The Author - @thebibliosphere

Notes from Nash

The document with my little summaries and personalized feedback for each of these got eaten - basically, I had to re-do the list and time’s been scarce, so forgive me for the lateness.

Also, there was a good handful of stories that disappeared due to what I presume was the purge/people deleting or losing their blogs. I did make effort to check AO3 but I’m afraid some stellar work has been lost for good.

There were a lot of repeat writers and folks I’m friendly with in this edition, more than I typically feature - I strive to highlight mostly lesser known writers and, as noted, mostly fics with <100 notes - but they earned it (and I even chucked a few more from some of these peeps into the folder for the next edition, that��s how hard they’re rockin’ it). That’s why it’s so important y’all let me know about the unsung writers and their undiscovered jewels - submit the story links and your reviews to me (links to your reblogs with your comments is perfectly fine) any ol’ time.

That’s it! What’re you waiting for??? Get to reading!

Destiel / SPN Fics by Amirosebooks

This is crossposted to my Pillowfort page (same username as here) where you can actually see the links to the fics. Or you can find them on my AO3 page (also the same username). I’m not abandoning my Tumblr yet, but I will start sharing more things over on Pillowfort and will, eventually, likely migrate there entirely.

A Chance G · 1,800 Words Getting together · Valentine’s Day fic · Fluff

For the DeanCas Writing Challenge September 2018. Prompt "I would be lucky to even have a chance with you.”

❤ The Rewatch T · 2,100 Words Bi!Dean · John Winchester’s A+ Parenting · Homophobia · Background Femslash · Charlie Bradbury Lives · Angst & Fluff

Based on the prompt "H-How long have you been standing there?"

Dean's is having a shitty day, a shitty week even. He ran into one of his exes unexpectedly and needs some time to himself to decompress. He retires to The Dean Cave to rewatch one of his favorite movies, hoping it will distract him from his memories. (It doesn't.)

They Were Going To Die Here T · 2,000 Words Kidnapped Dean & Cas · Love Confessions · Whump

Based on the prompt: "I told you not to fall in love with me."

Dean and Cas were captured weeks ago and are starting to lose hope of making it out alive. Somehow I'm not convinced Dean would be having a blaze of glory conversation with Cas in that situation with him instead of Sam.

Goop G · 2,000 Words Team Free Will · Destiel if you squint a lot · Goo · Comedy

Written for the Seasons fan fiction anthology. This story is from the Summer section which was intended to cover themes like: freedom, laughter, fun; sunshine, hot days; swimming, sunburns; slow, lazy, relaxed; contentment; flourishing growth, childhood; no regrets or second thoughts; unreality; disconnected from the darkness of “real life”; the prime of life; Fourth of July, Stanford, vacation from school.

I opted for writing a quick story celebrating a happy, ridiculous Team Free Will at its finest on a hunt sort of moment. I've been told by my main beta that the subject matter (witch guts) is sort of gross so keep that in mind.

The Orb T · 1,300 Words Team Free Will · Sammy Knows · Lovecraftian Monsters · Goo · Comedy

From the prompt: "You're lucky you're cute."

Cas brings a strange souvenir back from a hunt.

Band T-Shirts T · 2,500 Words Team Free Will · Domestic Fluff and Crack · Post Season 13 · Cas Gets A New Wardrobe · Agent Beyoncé References

From this prompt: There's a sort of standard fanon idea that when Cas becomes human, he borrows Dean's clothes for a while, and then eventually the brothers take him to Good Will or wherever for his own clothes.

I want to see that shopping trip. Basically just an excuse for fun shenanigans in a thrift store. I was thinking very new relationship for Dean and Cas, early days. Bonus points if Sam and Dean have some kind of game they've been playing in thrift stores across the country since they were kids, and if Cas comes up with some super goofy outfits. :D

❤ Forgetting Your Blues M · 3,500 Words Temporary Canonical Character Death · Post Season 12 · Fluff and Angst · Getting Together · Fix-It Fic · Openly Bisexual Dean Winchester

Dean Jones doesn't know his real name. He woke up on a public park bench a few months back with an empty wallet and a driver's license listing the name Dean Jones with his picture. The name doesn't feel right on his tongue, but he doesn't remember what part is wrong. The cop who found him in the park got Dean a job in a local diner. The diner feels comfortable to Dean. He understands the rhythm of the place, the ebb and flow of the people and food, even if he's clearly never carried a tray of hot plates in his life. He settles into his new life. He makes new friends. He takes beautiful women and men and people to his bed for comfort on long nights. He has nightmares about blood covering his hands. Who is he? Why has no one come looking for him? What has he done? Why did he fall apart when he saw a guy wearing a tan trenchcoat?

All Dean wanted was a cup of coffee. What he got instead was a whole bunch of feelings and a raincheck he might never get to cash in.

To get their minds off of Kelly Kline, Lucifer, and the BMOL, Dean and Sam take a case in Northern Arizona where a rogue angel was seen flashing his wings at a film festival and ranting about blasphemy. They quickly realize that there might be more to this case than they’d initially thought. The angel fits all the characteristics of being a ghost—EMF readings, see-through body, air chilling ability, and all. A local man is found with his eyes burned out like he was the victim of a smiting keeps them in town after salting and burning the angel’s buried vessel in hopes of dispelling his ghost. Between all of this, Dean is finding it hard to keep his feelings for Cas under wraps. Especially when everywhere he looks and everyone he talks to reminds him of how much energy he’s spent hiding his sexuality from his family over the years. Will watching the ghost angel’s grieving best friend mourn the loss of the angel he’d loved spur Dean into confessing his own feelings before it’s too late? Will an angel from Cas's past be able to succeed where Ishim failed? Who the hell has Sam been texting? Will someone please tell Mary what the hell is going on with her sons? Will any of Team Free Will learn to use their damn words?

The Hunt

A/n- this is for @waywardmoeyy’s 1k fluff fest challenge. This was supposed to be a drabble, but then one idea led to another and next thing I know, I’m at 3k words. It’s my first time writing Sam, so please go easy on me. If you have any feedback, I would love to hear it! I hope you guys enjoy!

Word count: 3,062

Warnings: so much fluff it’ll rot your insides. Very brief mentions of panic attack, brief mentions of typical SPN violence, swearing.

Characters/Pairings: Sam Winchester x reader, Dean Winchester

It had been weeks since you had last gotten Sam alone. Every time you had the chance, he always found some excuse to go do something else. Of course, it always came with promises of Next time baby, and You know I love you. Something felt off, and you couldn’t figure it out.

It all started after their last hunt; one which you sat out due to a dislocated shoulder, thanks to a lovely vengeful spirit. Sam had doted on you and tended to your every need. But when this hunt popped up, he was so gung ho to go, you were worried you had done something wrong. And then when he came back and started acting so strangely, you thought for sure you messed it all up.

You went to Dean after the first week to see if he knew anything about Sam’s behavior. He of course said no, but he was shifting from foot to foot and couldn’t keep his hand off the back of his neck.

“I’m sure it’s nothing Y/N. You know how he gets after a hunt without you. Just wait. He’ll be back to normal in a few days.”

You sighed and walked away, knowing the older brother knew something. But you also knew you weren’t gonna get it out of him. So you let things go on for the next few weeks, silently sulking when Sam wasn’t around.

Then one day, you woke up and realized Sam had never even come to bed. You went searching the bunker, but couldn’t find him anywhere.

“Dean!” you bellowed from the middle of the war room. “DEAN!”

Dean came charging in waving his gun, wearing only his boxers. “What? What the fuck is all the yelling about!”

“I can’t find Sam! He never came to bed last night and he’s not here this morning! Dean, what if he went out and something got him?” You could feel your panic rising with every word that tumbled out of your mouth. “We gotta find him De! He could be half dead in a ditch somewhere! Oh my god… What if he’s already dead?! What if--oomph!”

Dean grabbed you by the shoulders and crushed you to his chest. He’s your best friend and knows exactly how to shut down your panic attacks.

“Breathe honey. I need you to breathe. I know where Sam is, and I’ll explain what I can after you calm down, alright?”

You nodded your head and listened to his lungs fill with air and push it back out, trying your best to mimic the action. In a few minutes, you felt your body relax and the black spots in your vision disappeared.

“Okay, I’m good now. Can you tell me where he is please so I can go shoot him in the foot for being an ass and scaring me?”

“Whoa Y/N. It’s not what you think. I promise. Just trust me, okay? You’re my best friend, and I would never let my little brother do anything to hurt you, right?”

You nodded again.

“Right. So just go with me on this okay? Sam is waiting for you somewhere. I’m not allowed to tell you, because this is all part of the plan. I am supposed to tell you to go look in your dresser drawer for a light pink envelope. Your first clue is in there.”

You looked at him quizzically. “What the hell is this?”

“I don’t get paid to ask those kinds of questions dear. Just go find the envelope!” he called over his shoulder as he went back to his room.

You quickly went to your own room to search your dresser. You found the envelope with ease and opened it to begin reading its contents. As you realized what was going on, your smile grew.

Y/N,

I know these last few weeks have been hard on you, and I’m so sorry. You must think I’m an ass. But I promise you, it’s all been leading up to today. You may not know it yet, but today is a special day. Scattered around in different places are more of these envelopes. Each one contains a clue as to where the next one is. Follow the clues, and it will lead you directly to me. But don’t take too long! Dean will take you out where you need to go, and I’ll be waiting to see you.

I love you, Forever and Always.

Sam

Attached to the back of the little note was a slip of paper. You peeled it off to read it.

The first place I kissed you.

“The kitchen!” you exclaimed! You dashed into the kitchen, looking on the counter where you had been sitting when Sam finally pressed his lips to yours in a drunken flurry. Seeing nothing, you checked the cabinet you had banged your head on during the whole ordeal. Sure enough, taped right inside was another pink envelope with a winking smiley face drawn on the front. You opened it up to find another little note.

Good job! The first few are super easy, but they do get more challenging. I know how much you love a challenge. So go get dressed in something comfy and go find the next one!

On the back you looked at the next clue.

The first place we made love.

You squealed in excitement and went to go throw some shorts and a tshirt on. As you went flying out of your room, you ran smack into Dean.

“Whoa where’s the fire!” he chuckled. “I take it you’re ready to go?”

“Yes yes yes and I know exactly where we’re going!” You grabbed his hand and dragged him to the garage while he laughed at your sudden change in mood. You gave Dean directions to the field that was no more than a few miles from the bunker. No sooner than he had put Baby in park, you jumped out and took off running towards the tree you and Sam had parked the Impala under to watch the stars that night.

In the small hollow at the base of the tree you saw the envelope peeking out, but it was covered in spider webs. The thought of sticking your hand in there made you shiver.

“Dean! Can you come grab this for me please?” He strode over to you with an exaggerated eye roll and reached down to pick up the letter, making sure to brush off all the webs before placing it in your eager hands. You ripped it open and read the note.

I know we technically were on Baby, but I couldn’t let Dean know that so I had to use the tree instead. I hope there weren’t any spiders! It gets a little harder from here, my love. Keep going!

Order your usual to get the clue!

It took you a minute to understand what he meant. The theme seemed to be all your firsts together, so you tried to think of a place that you always ordered the same thing at.

The first date Sam ever took you on was to your favorite coffee shop. You always ordered a hazelnut cappuccino every time you went! It wasn’t too far of a drive into town, and before you knew it you were walking in the front door. The gentle chime alerted the barista, Amanda, to your presence, and she waved hello to you both. She poured a black coffee for Dean and got started on your cappuccino, handing it to you with the envelope. Dean pulled his wallet out, but she stopped him.

“Sam already paid for it all. And Y/N, I think it’s adorable what he’s doing. He made me promise not to tell you, but he was so excited he told me everything! You’ll have to come visit me soon and let me know how the rest of the day goes!”

She was nearly bouncing up and down with glee, and it made your heart race. “You know, it’s so not fair that everyone but me knows what’s going on here!” you whined.

“That’s the whole point of a ‘surprise,’ Y/N,” Dean chuckled.

You and Dean decided to sit for a minute and enjoy your coffees while you talked. Soon enough though, your coffees were gone and you were itching to open the newest envelope.

Dean just laughed at you. “Go ahead and open it. I know it’s killing you to just sit here.”

You tore into the envelope with gusto and read the next clue. This time, it was just a simple note.

I love you.

The first time you told Sam you loved him, you were on a hunt in Colorado. A werewolf got you good, tearing you to ribbons and you were dying. Had Cas not shown up when Sam and Dean screamed for him, you would have bled out right there in Sam’s arms. You had only been dating for a couple months so you felt that it was too soon to say it, and he agreed. But laying there choking on your own blood, you had to tell him. You couldn’t die and leave him wondering.

“Surely he doesn’t mean for us to drive to Colorado, right?” you asked Dean, puzzled.

He laughed heartily. “No you goofball. Let me see the clue.” He read the short note. “So we all know you told him I love you for the first time after that wolf hunt. But when did he first say it to you?”

Then it clicked. “We had just gotten home from that hunt. We were standing in the bedroom and he was helping me peel my clothes off since they were stuck to me and I was still sore. I thought he was mad at me for being careless when he didn’t talk the whole ride there, so when I broke down crying in the bath, he told me then… But why would he send me back to the bunker? I thought we were meeting him someplace else?”

“I guess you’ll just have to follow the clues and find out!”

You got back in the car and Dean drove you home. You tore ass through the bunker and into your shared room with Sam, slightly dismayed when you didn’t see him. On the bed though was another pink envelope with your name scrawled across it. You opened it up and read the note.

You’ve done so great sweetheart. Only two more after this! I love you so much and I hope you don’t hate me for making you run all over town. I’ll see you soon.

Water. Roses. Relax.

“Water, roses, relax?” you asked yourself. “Oh!”

You went into the bathroom to find the bathtub full of steaming hot water with a rose scented bath bomb that had already dissolved, and various flower petals littering the top of the surface. On the countertop was another envelope.

Y/N,

I know by this point you are probably anxious to see me and get to the bottom of all this, but I need you to just relax for a little while. At least 30 minutes. In our closet is a garment bag hanging just inside to the left of the door. Put on what’s inside after your bath and then you can come meet me. I love you.

The one restaurant I’ve always wanted to take you to

You gasped. Surely he didn’t mean the high class steakhouse? That place is impossible to get in to with their snooty little wait list! You tried not to think about it too much and just relaxed into your hot bath. You don’t take them very often, mostly because you get too hot and just feel like you’re sweating. But tonight was special. Sam made the water just right so that you wouldn’t get too hot too quickly. He really wanted you to soak.

Taking advantage of the time you had in the tub, you shaved your legs and pampered yourself a little bit. You used your sugar scrub on your legs and arms to help make them feel a little softer, and when you got out you used your nicest lotion. You wrapped yourself in the big, fluffy towel that Sam knew you loved so much and went to the closet to look for this garment bag. You almost cried when you pulled it out.

In your hands was the most beautiful evening gown you had ever seen. It was a deep red with a cinched waistline adorned by a decorative beadwork piece, and a neckline covered in beads and crystals.

You threw on your robe and brushed your hair out until it was smooth and shiny and then pinned it up in graceful curls that fell down your neck. You finally slipped into the dress and the poked your head out the door to call for Dean.

“Yes m’lady?” he said teasingly.

“Can you zip me up? I’m afraid if I try to do it myself I’ll rip the dress…”

He motioned for you to come out and turn around, but his jaw dropped when he fully saw you.

“Holy shit you’re gorgeous! If you weren’t my best friend and my brother’s girl, I’d totally try to steal you away.” He winked at you as he gently turned your back to face him and pulled the zipper up.

You rolled your eyes at his antics. “Such a gentleman, Dean.”

He swatted at you playfully. “Hurry up and finish! I got instructions to get you there by a certain time!”

You gave him a mock salute and moved back into the room to find some shoes to wear and a pair of earrings as well. Once you completed you outfit, you met Dean back in the hallway. He had somehow channeled superman. In the 2 minutes it took you to get your heels and earrings on, he had changed into one of his nicest fed suits. He offered you his arm and led you back to the garage. He helped you into Baby; carefully making sure the ends of your dress wouldn’t get caught in the door.

“Well, you are quite the gentleman tonight. Thank you De,” you said as you blushed.

He grinned at you as he got into the driver’s seat. “So, do you know where you’re going?” he inquired.

“I think so, but I’m not certain. I think I’m meeting him at that fancy steakhouse. But it’s damn near impossible to get a reservation there, so that’s why I’m unsure.”

“I always knew you were a smart one. Sometimes I think you’re smarter than Sammy! He did get a reservation there, and it’s at 8 sharp. We should get there with a couple minutes to spare.”

True to his word, Dean got you there 3 minutes to 8:00. He jumped out of the car and ran over to open your door and help you out. When he was positive your delicate dress wasn’t snagged anywhere, he offered you his arm and walked you up the steps and into the lobby area.

“Do you have a reservation?” the hostess asked.

“She does. Under the name Winchester.” The woman looked at her list, giving Dean a funny look. “The other half of her party should already be here,” he said flatly.

She nodded curtly. “Ah, yes. Mr. Winchester. Right this way ma’am.”

Dean gave you a peck on the cheek as he released your arm. “Have fun. I’ll see you two lovebirds later.”

You nervously followed the hostess into the dining room and immediately spotted Sam. He stood and pulled your chair out for you, pushing it in as you sat down. A waiter came over almost instantly with a bottle of wine. When Sam grabbed your hand across the small candlelit table, all your nerves disappeared. He smiled that stunning smile at you and you just melted. Everything was perfect in that moment, and you didn’t see how it could get any better.

The two of you enjoyed your food while you talked and laughed for what seemed like hours. When the plates were cleared away, Sam suddenly became jumpy and nervous.

“Sam, what’s wrong? Why have you been acting so strange lately? And not that today wasn’t a blast, but what was with the scavenger hunt?”

Sam took a deep breath. “I know I’ve been acting like an ass, and I’m so sorry baby. I’ve been keeping a secret from you and being around you made me want to tell you.”

You felt your eyes go wide in shock.

“But if I told you, then it would ruin the surprise I had all planned out for today. Y/N, I love you so much. We’ve been through so much together, and I can’t imagine having anyone else by my side through all that. For anything, really. You’re the piece of me that I never knew I was missing, and I don’t ever want to be without you. You make me a better man, and I want your lips to be the last ones mine ever touch. I may not be able to give you the whole white picket fence and barbeques on the weekends, but I can give you some of the things I know we both want. You and me baby, Forever and Always. So, Y/F/N Y/M/N,” Sam got down on one knee in front of your chair as you gasped and tried unsuccessfully to hold back your tears. “Will you marry me?”

He opened the black velvet box, and the ring inside made you cry even harder.

You practically fell out of your chair trying to wrap your arms around him. “Yes! Yes of course I will! Sam I love you so much.”

He placed the ring on your finger as the whole dining room started clapping for you both. The waiter came back to the table with a bottle of champagne. “Compliments of the staff,” he said quietly. But the whole time you couldn’t take your eyes off the gorgeous ring now decorating your hand. It made your heart swell at the thought of all the promises that came with that one simple piece of jewelry.

“You know, I like the sound of Y/F/N Winchester.” You had the biggest grin on your face when you looked up at him, and you had a feeling it would be a long while before it went away.

Jordan’s Trope Challenge

We have finally hit 1,000 Followers! I am beyond grateful for this and I can’t help but thank each and every one of you who supports me. I wish I knew all of you personally and for only a few of you, I do.

But thank you, for helping me make this happen because I couldn’t truly have done it without you guys.

So thank you so very much.

So for this challenge, I will be hosting a writing challenge for you lovely and talented writers! I present to you a Trope Challenge.

A trope is an often used plot device or a common theme you might see pop up frequently (various AUs, bed sharing, pregnancy, etc.).

Below the cut, I have made a list of tropes that are very common. Also, the rules have been clearly stated below as well! Happy Writing!

Rules:

1. You don’t have to be following me but It would be much appreciated if you were.

2. Female reader insert only with the characters Dean/Jensen, Sam/Jared, and Castiel/Misha. You can make it a platonic relationship or a romantic one. I am not against anything else, but I think it’s a little easier this way. Of course, you can add as many characters/actors as you want in it but the pairing has to be with the following above.

3. Your fic is your fic. It can be as long or as short as you make it. However, if your fic is over 500 words, I ask that you use a “Keep Reading” because I won’t reblog it if it doesn’t. I will reblog every fic and give feedback to every single one.

4. Your fic can be a one shot or the first part of a series. It makes it easier so that I don’t have to go through multiple parts to get to the trope you decided to write about.

5. Please tag me @queen-of-deans-booty and have the tag (s) #Jordan’sTropeChallenge AND/OR #Jordan’s1kChallenge in the first three tags!

6. Lastly, your fic can be whatever you please to be! Whether that’s Fluff, Angst, Smut, etc. Remember, this is your fic so you can write whatever makes you happy.

How to sign up:

Just send me an ASK of the trope you want along with the character/actor you wish to have. Please remember that I am only taking one person per trope. This way, I won’t have a ton of the same fics and people can make it interesting! Also, please provide me with an alternative, just in case the one you want is gone.

When they are due:

All fics are due on October 8th, 2017. I understand life happens and if you need to drop out or need an extension, just shoot me an ask and I will be more than happy to give it to you.

List of Tropes (One writer per trope):

The Geeky Corner of Society

A/N: Lau from @dancingalone21 has reached 2,000 followers! Congrats babe! So to cellebrate that she made the “Lau’s AU Funny Quote Challenge”. My quote is “Honestly if I had a nickel for every time I hear a girl say that…” from Dean. And as AU I choose a geeky merchandise store (SPN excists in this AU)…

Yeah wish me luck you guys…

Warnings: Swearing (you know my writing by now, I hope), a bit of fluff I guess…

Pairing: Dean x Reader

Word Count: 1.8 k

Bae Tag: @cupcakequeen1999

Your friend Jo wanted to go shopping with you on her day off from work. She said it was great shopping weather and that you really needed to get out of your apartment. You accepted her offer even though you really didn’t like shopping because everybody is running around, trying to find that one perfect thing they are looking for. You didn’t like the stress and rush of shopping. You wanted to take your time to decide things while all the other shoppers are in a hurry.

You planned a rendez-vous with Jo at the Starbucks at the beginning of the main shopping street. Whilst waiting you decided to drink a coffee and spend your time on Tumblr. You ordered a Java Chip Frappe and a little snack. A barista yelled your name and you went to get your order and thanked the barista. When you got back to your table at the window you felt your phone buzz in the pocket of your jeans. God I need a pair of new ones you thought to yourself when you pulled out your phone. You had a text from Jo.

Sorry can’t make it. Fam buzz. I’ll call later!

Fucking great! Now you came all the way out here to shop with Jo and she just bailed on your shop date. Well since you are already here it wouldn’t hurt to do a bit of shopping.

You found a nice outfit. You fell in love with the plaid dress and the matching green jacket. You planned to return home an start binge watching yet another show online that was on your list when a store caught your eye. It was a little shop on the corner of the main shopping street. It was called “the Geeky Corner of Society”. You chuckled and started to make your way over to the store to check it out. When you entered the store your moth fell open from surprise. It’s just perfect… Almost every fandom you could think about had its own little section. There was a section from Marvel, DC, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Star Trek, Disney, The Walking Dead, Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts and where to find them, all kinds of Anime and Manga stuff, Gaming merchandise and last but definitely not least Supernatural. Every section was neat and decorated in its theme, there were even little sceneries made with Funko dolls of every fandom.

You were just admiring the view that you didn’t even notice when a employer walked towards you to see if they could help. They just stood next to you as they watched your reaction.

“I know right. My boss … She put all of her efforts and money into this. She really turned this into a geek heaven.”, someone pulled you out of your trance. You closed your mouth and turned around to see who was talking to you. You got greeted by a pair of lovely apple green eyes. The mystery man was rather tall and wore a Supernatural t-shirt and a pin with his name on it. Dean.

“Wow, she must be awesome”, you muttered under your breath. “It must be nice to work here I guess.”

“Yeah, she is. She does so much for the people around her, she just keeps on giving but doesn’t get anything. That’s why I am helping her out here, she was planning to do this all on her own… Well yeah, working here is fun ya know. Most people that enter the store are constantly walking around with this huge smile plastered on their faces. That makes me happy too I guess.”, he replied.

You saw a lady walking towards another costumer to ask if they needed any help. She also wore a Supernatural t-shirt. Instantly Dean slid in front of you and put on a bright smile. His sales smile you guess. “Hi and welcome to ‘The Geeky Corner of Society’! My name is Dean, can I help you with something?”

“Is she your boss?”, you ask.

“Yeah, ‘ve gotta work too instead of talking to a lovely lady like you…”, he whispered back.

“Uh… Um, thanks… I guess”, you reply shyly. Dean coughs awkwardly while clearing his throat.

You took a better look at him while you walked over to the Harry Potter section with him right behind you. You were looking at all of the wands that were displayed while something popped up into your head.

“Hey, you kinda look like Dean from Supernatural! Oh goodness I thought I recognised you from somewhere!”, you said as you turned towards him. You almost bumped into him because he stood much closer then you expected.

“Honestly if I had a nickel for every time I hear a girl say that…”, Dean replied.

“Oh, so I am not the first one to say it either! You just look like twins! And you even have the same name! It must be so easy to cosplay as him!”, you practically squealed.

“Well uh… Yeah I cosplay as him but nobody has ever seen that”

“You don’t have to be ashamed! You uh, look good”, you felt the heath rising to your cheeks as you started to blush. You turned around to the t-shirts so Dean wouldn’t see that you were blushing. You dropped the conversation about his resemblance to your favourite one of the brothers, since you sensed that he didn’t feel comfortable.

“So how did you get into Supernatural?”, Dean asked.

“It’s kinda a funny story. I just did. I was binge watching another show and I just stumbled upon it, well I heard about it before on Tumblr so I decided it wouldn’t hurt to start watching it. I must say, I was hooked from the first 15 minutes.”

“So you really are a big fan, huh?”

“It’s in my blood! But how did you get in to it?”

“Uh, I never got your name…” Dean subtly changed the topic from him to you.

“Y/N.”, you replied shyly.

“Well, it’s nice to meet ya!”, he says while his cheeks seemed to get a little bit redder.

“Likewise!” Seriously? Likewise? This isn’t the ’40, Y/N!

“Um, you… You have something on your cheek, wait a sec…”, Dean said while he came closer to you. He cupped your face with one of his hands while he gently rubbed your left cheek with his other hand. All of the sudden it felt like the two of you were the only one on the whole planet. You just stayed there staring into his eyes. It just feels like you’ve landed it one of those fluffy fanfictions you read on Tumblr.

“DEAN! You are giving that poor girl a heart attack! We can’t afford that!”, Dean’s boss yelled suddenly.

“Son of a bitch”, Dean muttered under his breath while you stood there giggling. It had been a long time since you felt that way around a guy. Dean made you feel like a teenager with raging hormones, and you didn’t even mind it. Because of him your hearth farted rainbows and you started to giggle. Like full on giggling. You tried to stop it but the looks Dean’s boss was giving him didn’t really help. You thought your laugh sounded awful but Dean liked the sound, wait… scrap that, he loved it.

“I heard that!”, the lady replied while sticking her thumbs in the air and winking at you.

While you were shopping Dean staid at your side and helped you. You made some small talk for 10 minutes and started to get to know each other. Sometimes you would get bold and you would flirt a little bit. You picked what you could afford. Your shopping basket was filled with 2 Harry Potter t-shirt of your house, Gandalf’s Funko, a Sherlock mug, a Doctor Who piggy bank, a bloody metalic Dean Funko and a bloody metalic Sam Funko. You needed to get rid of one of the things because you couldn’t afford all of it. You walked to the cash registers, you still couldn’t decide which thing you would drop. Dean saw the frown on your face when he took his place behind the cash register and got an idea.

“Hey Y/N. I’ll pay for the thingy you want. Think of it as a gift.”, Dean said.

“Wha-, no! That’s… No? I can’t accept that!”, you replied.

Dean’s boss popped up behind him and looked at you. “It’s on the house.”

You were dumbfounded: “No! That’s too sweet, I can come back later and buy it you guys…”

As if planned Dean and his boss spoke in sync: “I insist!”

“If you won’t just accept it as a gift…”, Dean started.

“… We can make a deal if you want to.”, his boss finished.

“Am I at a crossroad or something, do I need to kiss a demon?”, you asked.

They both just looked at you with wide eyes and you wished you could have Susan Storm’s powers right now. After a while the friendly lady threw her head back as she started laughing: “Oh God, that’s a good one! No you don’t have to kiss a Dean-mon, well if you want too you can go ahead…” You started to blush as the lady winked at you and wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. Dean didn’t hear the pun and you were kinda glad he didn’t.

The lady continued: “We can make a deal. You get one of the Funko’s as a gift…”

“And?”

“We could use some help in the store, well if you don’t have a job at the moment…”, she said with a serious face. Dean stared at his boss with wide eyes and she just looked back at him and flashed a big ol’ smile.

“Oh I would love to work here! You guys are so lucky I am unemployed right now!”, you squealed. “Yes! Absolutely, sign me up! Ahem, so my name is Y/N.” you said while you stretched your arm. She didn’t shake your hand but just gave you a fist bump.

“My name is Becca but you can call me ‘tha Boss’”, she introduced herself while she threw some glitter and confetti around her. “’ve been waiting to do that forever!”

Dean started chuckling and turned to Becca: “ You really haven’t changed at all, did you now?”, he then turned to you as he whispered: “That’s the same line she used when I got ‘oficially’ recruted”

“Why would I? So Y/N, your shift starts tomorrow at 10 a.m., if that’s okay for you. Can I have some personal information so I can send you the details?”

She handed you a paper and a pen. I have a paper, I have a pen… Nghh. Paper-pen. You mentally face palmed yourself for doing that and going there. You wrote down your personal information. You were really glad Jo ditched you, otherwise nothing of this wouldn’t have happened.
