"end!verse tigerstiel" tho???

just picture it, nonnie

earthbound and indolent and powerless (in all the ways that matter); covered in scars and old bullet-wounds and eventually restricted to the camp for the most part; casually affectionate to all save one, who hasn’t touched him since one violent outburst, back when the angels abandoned ship, when Castiel was angry and scared and frantically chasing the tails of his steadily waning grace

(Castiel never apologized for that. he never told Dean to keep his hands to himself, either; but then weeks passed without so much as a touch to the withers, and then months, and then years. they don’t count necessary contact, like the sutures Castiel needed when his ear was all but torn in two, or that one time he bodily shielded Dean from a pack of slavering croats. and sometimes, on bleak winter mornings, Dean is painfully aware of the warm, furry body sitting just within arms reach. sometimes Dean meets the tiger’s stare and feels almost like Cas is daring him-)

endverse!tigerstiel likes to sunbathe on the impala’s ruined shell; likes hobbling croats; likes plonking himself down in the doorway of Dean’s cabin during tactical discussions without ever actually setting foot inside. endverse!tigerstiel likes past!Dean, and rubbing himself very deliberately against the man as he stalks by, just on the periphery of his fearless leader’s line of sight

I have been looking for someone else who likes Tigerstiel for an age, and I feel like I have fallen down a rabbit hole and entered wonderland. Your blog is beautiful.

MY HEART GROWLS FONDLY AT YOU, if somewhat belatedly! (Sluggish from eating all those rabbits.) I also strongly recommend siterlas for tigerstiel purposes, particularly such gems as tigerstiel famine showdown, and basically just a lot of canon feels with tigers in, and that time she invented the ship tagline: not just bestiality, it is also vore. Las is really great, everyone.

did you read any good fics in the 2012 d/c big bang?

short answer: no 

i never read pg-13/pre-slash fics unless they've been recced to me by someone with stellar taste, and i just really couldn't be bothered with a lot of the other ones cos they sounded long and angsty and mardy and stuff, so 

i bookmarked three to read at a later date cos they didn't sound horrendous:

let your grace guide you

welcome to camp wendigo

i don't know if they're any good, but the premises sound promising and they don't look like they were written by crazies

Even if you don't read my fic (which obvs you should as I am incredibly needy and insecure and like feedback), I'd really appreciate it if my deancastiel followers would go check out my artist's art post!  IT'S GORGEOUS.  I was so pleased, she did such an amazing job, and YOU SHOULD GO GIVE ALL THE PRAISE IN THE WORLD.  It's a pic of Dean and tigerstiel, and then a pic of Cas losing his grace.

Clairestiel or Tigerstiel?

Clairestiel, if only because I haven't completely worked out how Tigerstiel works. Like how does he communicate with Dean? Tigerstiel is really interesting to me in broad strokes, but when we get down to the nitty-gritty details of a 'verse, Clairestiel is easier for me to work with.

And the last entry in my kitten spam before this blog goes back to its regularly scheduled other stuff — I found this somewhere on LJ and thought it really, really needed to come join tumblr's world of Tigerstiel. Because literally my first thought upon seeing it was, "THIS IS TOTALLY SONJA'S CALVIN AND HOBBES TIGERSTIEL AU. *___*" — I just forgot to share it immediately because… probably because something was shiny, or there was a squirrel, or some other way of saying, "I got distracted and forgot." …also: I don't know if the coloring is Bill Watterson's original rendering of the strip, or if someone else did that, but if it's the latter, I don't know who to credit for it. If it needs credit and you know who that goes to, please let me know so I can add a link to them. ♥

being an angel is hard.

@Sonja I'M SCREAMING. But Dean loves their tactile relationship. He holds Castiel at night when he sleeps, lays his head on xyr torso when watching cartoons. Cas's breathing speeds up sometimes but when Dean smiles at Cas, xe looks at him with such longing and regret.

OH MY GOD TIGERSTIEL SEEKING OUT ASLAN AND THEN THE KISMESSISISITUDE OF THE WHITE WITCH WAIT AREN'T YOU THE ONE WHO SHIPPED JADIS AND GODSTIEL. MY THOUGHTS ARE SO NAUGHTY RIGHT NOW I REALLY CANNOT.

NOT SURE WHAT A KISESSISISITUDE IS BUT I'M GAME. Jadis/Godstiel was not me YET. NOW IT IS. There is something about the pristine state of winter that appeals to him?! I was also the one who shipped post-S3 Jadis/Sam. omg LEAVE ME BE, I have a THING for ~evil queens.

Also, since tumblr ate my reply to you, on the subject of Dean trying to grow up and putting Tigerstiel in the closet (in her Calvin & Hobbes AU, for those of us just tuning in), I have some CANNOTSLEEP!DEAN feels, but mostly I have feels about the one where eventually Dean does fall asleep, alone, and Tigerstiel shows up in his dream like, "GET ME OUT GET ME OUT," and the cries don't stop when Dean's awake. Eating breakfast, in school, at baseball practice, he can still hear "GET ME OUT GET ME OUT," and it's increasingly terrifying, he is increasingly terrified, the separation making monsters of them both.

MAGICAL CHILDHOOD FRIENDS who are darker than they seem are my other favorite.

attn: Tigerstiel-ers. …I was looking through my photobucket for something else entirely, and I found this instead.

oHMYGOD SQUISHY

[imnotleavinherewithoutyou]

Thinking about posting Chapter 4 of tigerstiel. But like. I haven't even started on Chapter 5, goddammit. I haven't touched the fic since I got back from China, which, granted, it's only been like five days, but still.

[imnotleavinherewithoutyou]

Okay wait I was gonna go write. Ahhh man tumblr is so distracting. I got a shitton of writing done in China bc I didn't have access to tumblr most of the time. I mean, I'm working on Chapter 24 of Sacrifice, and the end is in sight so. Before I left for China, I'm pretty sure I'd only written up to like Chapter 15 at most. So basically I wrote something like 40k while I was in China.

And that's not counting the 8k or so that I added to tigerstiel or the first chapter (ish) of the pinkverse prequel. Ahhhhhh this freakin website.

[imnotleavinherewithoutyou]

One. My main focus is currently on finishing Sacrifice. I spent a good amount of time working on it the past week or so, and I just started writing Ch. 22 this morning, so I'm very confident that I'll be finished with it soon. Still need maybe two more chapters after 22, I think. Not positive. But anyway, you can rest assured that there will be at least one update every week. I've been thinking maybe every five days or something.

Two. As you probably know, Written has been posted in its entirety. I haven't gotten all that far in the prequel yet. I have about 9k in written scenes and outlines, but only about 3.5k is at the beginning; the rest are scattered throughout the fic, especially toward the angsty end. I consider pinkverse my second priority, but I've been taking a short break for the sake of Sacrifice.

I said at the end of Written that I was thinking about starting to post the prequel towards the end of November, but I'm thinking about pushing it back to mid-to-late-December, to give myself a little breathing room in case Sacrifice takes longer than expected.

Three. My last obligation is to that little tigerstiel fic (No Sincerer Love) I started writing last November (or October?) but that I didn't get to actually posting until a month or two ago. I'd always considered it more of a "recreational" project (bwahaha yeah right, it's not like the other two are professional, meep), so I let it sit for a long time (I think the last time I touched it was in January?). But I started writing for it again maybe a week ago, and I do intend to finish it; it'll just be slower going.

I was thinking about making a new fic tag for the tigerstiel fic, but I figure the tigerstiel tag isn't all that busy right now anyway, so I'll just keep it. I'd hate to have to go back and change the tags on all my previous tigerstiel posts bc there are just too many x.x

OKAY THAT'S IT BUHBYE NOW

(Oh right and I'm leaving this Guangzhou hotel on the 25th to go to Shanghai, and I don't know whether or not I'll have internet access there, but I'll be back in the US on the 27th, hooray!)
