Where I Wanna Be – New Chapter! (Previous parts on on AO3 and Tumblr) DeanBenny

/////

Later when they were sprawled together, as much as two full grown men could on a full-sized mattress, Dean’s gaze tracked over the multitude of tattoos adorning Benny’s chest and arms. Swirls of bold colors and strong lines highlighted by the golden, flickering streetlamp just outside of Dean’s small bedroom window.

“What’s this one?” Dean asked; fingers tracing over the old school image of a shark cresting a wave, its powerful jaws snapping a rum bottle in half, the date 2-15-06, placed just below the water line that faded into the thick hair on Benny’s chest.

Benny shifted under Dean’s draped weight. Suddenly uncomfortable for someone who’d enthusiastically shared bodily fluids with him only 20 minutes prior.

“It’s ah —” Benny coughed; hand brushing against Dean’s cheek on the way to cover his mouth for a moment before he continued. “ — It’s a reminder. Of the day I finally got sober.” His voice was barely above a whisper, that Dean had to strain to hear even though he was pressed tightly against the baker’s body.

“Good job.” Dean genuinely praised; pride filling the space beneath his sternum as he moved to pepper kisses against every inch of Benny’s sweat salted skin that he could reach. Determination and vigor only growing when his journey finally brought him, once again, to the other man’s lips.

Cas loves to pick Dean flowers. Wherever he flies, he stops just a moment to bring Dean a token of his journey. Dean grumbles about how dumb it is, but secretly he dries and presses every flower Cas brings him. He always writes himself a note to go with them too. 

—Chocolate Cosmos- Cas had to go back in time to get us an ingredient for a spell. He brought this back with him. Extinct in this time.

—Ghost Orchid- Cas was in Europe. Didn’t specify where. He said love is much like this plant. Elusive but worth the wait.

There are hundreds of them, pressed in waxed paper between the books on Dean’s shelves. Not all of them are rare. Some of them are weeds, but Dean keeps them all.

—Yellow Tulip- Cas smelled like spring when he pressed it into my palm.

—Red Rose- There was so much blood. I thought I was done for.

Cas knows Dean keeps them. He never mentions it because he knows it will fluster Dean, but when he knows Dean isn’t around, he sneaks into his room and reads the simple notes.

—Verbascum- I dreamed we had two kids and a dog last night. 

—Oleander- This is Cas’ flower. I can’t tell him that this, but this is his flower. 

Sometimes Cas leaves notes as well for Dean to find years from now when his memory will depend on these tiny scrawls and dried petals.

—Plumeria- As bright as the sun on the day he brought it. As bright as Dean’s soul.

—Prickly Pear- Cas brought the whole damn cactus. He’s lucky he doesn’t understand pain like a human because he was full of stickers. Dean’s flower. He surrounds himself with prickly armor, but he is beautiful and worth the pain.

           “Yeah, that’s right, rub my meat.”

           “Yes, I’ll rub your meat, Dean.”

           Sam stopped in the doorway into the kitchen as he squeezed his eyes closed and hoped fervently that he wasn’t about to walk into something that he really did not want to know went on in the kitchen. Where they ate. And made their food. Fortunately another two steps into the kitchen presented him with Dean hovering by Castiel’s shoulder as he watched the other rub some seasoning into a large slab of pork. Sam suddenly remembered Dean mentioning they were going to have pulled pork for dinner the next night. It seemed a little bit late in the evening to be preparing food, but Sam wasn’t going to say anything about that.

           “Yeah, Cas, rub his meat, wink wink.” Sam grinned at his lame joke. He was the little brother; technically he was entitled to being annoying.

           Dean just shot him a dark look in response while Cas just snorted loudly but didn’t look up from his intense concentration on the pork.

           “I don’t think so. It’s much too late for that, and I’m tired. Dean can rub his own meat tonight.”

           “What if I don’t want to rub my own meat tonight?” Dean asked slyly and pressed up close against Cas’ back.

           Sam wrinkled his nose and decided that he may have started the joke but he was definitely not going to stick around and end it. As soon as Dean gave Cas’ butt a little pat Sam quickly turned on his heel to retreat out of the kitchen to leave the two alone with their meat.

25 and your choice of pairing

“I can’t believe you talked me into this.”

Cas sighs and rolls his eyes, running the back of a paint-covered hand over his forehead. “You volunteered, Dean. I said I needed a model and you said you’d do it.”

Dean glares from his perch on the stool across from Cas. “You could have mentioned it was gonna take five hours.”

Cas just shrugs and picks his paintbrush back up. “Hey, I let you take a bathroom break. And I bought you lunch.”

“You’re so lucky that I love you,” Dean grumbles, refusing to acknowledge his boyfriends point.

Cas grins and reaches over, patting Dean’s cheek gently and leaving a smear of yellow paint. “I know.”

[imjuststiney]

CainDean. And yes, this is a real program in Florida’s prison system.

Dean full out belly laughs when Cas tells him about the newest addition to their prison’s reentry program.

Which, okay, is something he probably shouldn’t do.

Because despite the fact that they’ve been best friends since they were 8 years old; Cas is still the shift Captain and Dean’s just a friggin’ dorm Sergeant.

“Really?” Dean asks in confirmation; quickly getting himself under control when Cas pulls out his serious “Officer in Charge” face.

“Yes, Dean. Really. ” Cas responds while handing Dean the informational brochure. “The therapeutic benefits of working with bees has been shown to work wonders for inmates getting ready to reenter life on the outside.”

“And you want me to help?” Dean questions; not sure why Cas is so adamant on bringing him aboard.

“This program is very important to me.” Cas admits as he claps Dean on the shoulder. “And I wouldn’t trust anyone else with it.”

*****

Dean’s still not 100% certain that Cas knew what he was doing when he put him in charge of the inmate beekeeping program, but it’s actually a pretty sweet, no pun intended, gig.

The inmates had seemed pretty excited to sign up and all Dean has to do is stand around and watch them play with the bees at a nearby farm for a couple hours a day.

At least it’s getting him out of the dorms.

*****

“Alright guys, let’s do this.” Dean announces as he opens the van door for the twelve inmates selected for the program’s trial run.

Locking up and turning around once the last inmate is out, Dean’s met by the farm’s owner decked out in full beekeeper gear.

“Shit.” Dean attempts to cover his startled jump even as a few inmates chuckle at his expense.

“I’m really hoping you’re Cain.” Dean gruffs at the head to toe covered figure standing in front of him.

“I am.” Comes the muffled confirmation as the other man takes off the mask obscuring his face.

Whoa.

Long grey streaked hair framed his bearded face while piercing blue eyes intensely locked on Dean.

And yeah, Dean’s not usually one to go for older guys, but hell, what can he do? He hadn’t expected the bee wrangler to be so friggin’ hot.

Cain clears his throat and arches a knowing eyebrow as a speechless Dean continues to stare. “Ready to begin?”

Dean can only dumbly nod and follow as Cain leads the group toward the back of his house where the bee are kept.

Who knows. Dean thinks as he watches the immediately engrossed inmates gather around Cain and his hives. This whole thing might actually turn out to be pretty interesting after all.

I’ve been putting off making this post for a while but I think I’m gonna go ahead and make it now

I haven’t really been involved with Supernatural as much as I used to be, as some of you may have noticed, and it kind of sucks but this season hasn’t done much to keep my attention. I mean to catch up at some point but I’m going to be super busy with personal stuff until like the end of May so it probably won’t happen until the end of the season.

now how does this matter to my blogging habits, you might ask? well, let me tell you. it’s because I’ve been slowly becoming more of a Marvel blog and I’m going to make a few changes around here to reflect that. I’m really attached to this url so it will probably be the last to go, but I already have another url saved. really the only thing keeping me in the Supernatural fandom right now is Sam (and Jared), which is part of why I want to keep this url, but I’m trying to remind myself if I get rid of it I can keep loving Sam just as much as I do right now. and there will probably still be a fair amount of Supernatural still on my blog, it’s just that my interests are shifting. especially as things like Ultron, Mockingjay pt 2 and The Force Awakes start to come out.

so I don’t know. I’m sure a lot of people will unfollow me and that’s fine. as much as I know I run this blog for myself I do recognize that I want to keep certain content that I know my followers enjoy which is why I feel so torn about all the changes I want to make.

if I do change the url will be natxromanova so if you suddenly see that url on your dash it’s just little ol’ me

graphic tutorial for nonnie!

starting with fotor.com, upload your photo(s)

making an account is free btw

here i move to pixlr.com - i can’t remember if you need an acc or not, but it’s free regardless

i chose the dimensions because i make each of my caps 500x330, so two caps by four caps makes that 1000x1320

it turns out most of my caps were the wrong size - oops !

(i only realized near the end that i hadn’t explained how to move caps into the main picspam area)

check all your corners and edges ! as long as they’re flush when you’re up close, if they look like there’s space when you zoom out there probably isn’t actually. i’ve had that happen more than once. actually, pretty much every time.

et voila! this is the finished graphic

and finally, if you have any questions, just send me an ask!

The Prince and the Pauper

destiel, medieval au, fake/pretend relationship

The young man was nimble, careful, watching the merchant’s movements before snagging the fish and tucking them into a rucksack. He had bright eyes, the color of the forest canopy, which Castiel could see even from where he was standing. The glaring sun cast his face in shadows, but Castiel could see his cheeks smudged with dirt and his short hair matted and unruly. He was handsome under the grime, determined and focused.

Prince Castiel’s heart took a moment to resume beating.
