been cooking up this bad boy since this fic first dropped but I wanted to give the whole fic a little art, so I waited until the last chapter was posted to finish this up for surprise purposes :0

(also I'm aware there's already art for this fic but idk you said in the past that more art is never a bad thing so I'm going off of that, though my costume designs aren't nearly as creative as what the other artist came up with)

I really hope this banner is readable, I got kinda zesty with it esp with the title part but idk I had a vision of the dot of the 'i' going off like a shooting star because...idk something about wishing on a star ig though thinking about it now, that might not actually fit the fic all that well uh

still can't draw horses but Impala deserved a chance to shine. I started on this thingy way back when the fic first posted and decided partway through that this fic was gonna get another art piece of Dean and Cas doing something together. originally thought the fic was gonna have two chapters but it ended up with three which was ghenfhd. also fun fact but this was vaguely inspired by this other art piece I did for another one of @destielshipper4cas' fics because I'm like that and like adding in references to other stuff I've done

(also ignore my attempts at adding depth to this I can't draw trees/forests man)

naturally just had to tie the fic off with a magic destiel kiss. I realize only one leaf fell in the fic or at least only one noteworthy one fell but for the sake of making the scene more magical and stuff, it became a little leaf storm that was sorta inspired by yet another thing I did for a different fic—the first ever art piece I ever threw at this author's unsuspecting head forever ago. and ofc Cas has a leaf in his hair he deserves it okay I don't make the rules

the fic this is made for is called "The Wishkeeper's Path" by @destielshipper4cas

OMG, I can't even express how absolutely thrilled I am to see this fanart—it’s the best Christmas gift I could have hoped for this year! (Plus, I’m sick, which sucks, but this brings some much-needed happiness into my life.) And I even get art for the whole fic? HOW AWESOME IS THAT?! I’m over here flailing because it’s just so incredible and thoughtful. 🥰

What are you talking about, this is absolutely super creative. In fact, your creativity never fails to amaze me, and as usual, I’m left in total awe, gaping at the art and smiling brightly.

Let’s start with the cozy autumn foresty vibe in the banner—it’s already setting the perfect mood for the fic. And I think the wish-upon-a-star metaphor works perfectly here. Let’s just call it a metaphor, then everything works. 😁 (Plus, when there are no autumn leaves falling to the ground, a wish upon a shooting star works just as well, I'm sure.)

The first piece: Awww, it’s too cute for words! Dean and Cas walking hand in hand through those gorgeous autumn woods… the browns, the reds, the yellow-golden glow—just stunning. And Impala?! What do you mean you can’t draw horses? Impala is awesome and badass. The three of them together are just too adorable for words.

I love how the autumn colors feel so warm and inviting, and the style itself is so fitting for the cozy, magical vibe of the season. Haha, yeah, my bad for not finishing this during the fall months—I guess the timing worked out for Christmas instead, right?

I also adore the references to the other art pieces you’ve woven in. I mean, you know me—I sneak plenty of nods and tropes into my fics again and again, and I love using witch!Cas and a fantasy-medieval setting (more than just once or twice, let’s be real). Seeing those same vibes reflected in the art just makes my heart so happy!

And then—you hit me with a second piece? WHAT?! I can’t handle how amazing this is! The autumny mood continues, and seeing the amazing view of Winchester Kingdom in the background is just so cool. The magical leaf storm? YES, please. It adds such a whimsical touch, and I am 100% here for it and the little reference tucked into this one, too.

Dean’s clothes and colors are, of course, on point, and the leaf in Cas’ hair is such a nice touch, making the whole scene even more adorable than it already is.

And aww. Yep, a Destiel kiss is certainly always appreciated, and this is just so cute and romantic combined with the way they’re embracing each other since they obviously can’t get enough of each other—ahhhh, it tugs at my heartstrings in the best way. Such a beautiful, happy ending that leaves me smiling from ear to ear.

Thank you so, so much for putting so much thought, effort, and love into this. You’re amazing! 😍

[golby-moon]

as sort of a test run to see if I still have enough free time these days to enter bangs as an artist, I decided to throw a surprise art piece and banner at a gbdbfhf-worthy fic, giving both me and the author a fake bang experience kinda but with a lot less communication for surprise purposes. so yeah. surprise :0

I usually go for more elaborate banners with stuff in the background but idk I had a vision of having the title be word-shaped smoke coming out of Cas' honey cauldron and uh got this instead. turns out smoke is hard to make into legible words. also I probably should've emphasized the names more oop

this whole fic has a soft, warm feeling to it so I wanted to make a soft scene with a warm kinda glow, but I've never tried to do that second thing before so it turned out kinda weird. hopefully Dean and Cas' hug and Dean's overly elaborate fall flavored flannel will distract everybody from the weirdness of the lighting experiment

(also I like how these turned out too much especially the little ghost dude send help)

OH MY GOSH, this is so cute! 😍 This was the best surprise! It didn’t just make my day, but my mood went from ‘meh, life sucks’ to full-on SQUEE MODE in seconds! I seriously can’t stop smiling! 🥰

I'm absolutely floored by how incredibly adorable Dean and Cas look in this piece. A deeply heartwarming and tender depiction of that intimate embrace. You can feel the love and comfort between them as they hold each other close, their bodies leaning into one another. The drawing captures that perfect moment of warmth and serenity, where they find peace in each other’s arms.

The way they’re holding each other, wrapped up in that tender hug, is exactly how I imagined them. The emotional depth captured here fills you with warmth just looking at how happy they are, how much they care about each other.

The cozy cabin setting, the earthy tones and autumn colors, just radiate warmth, and I can feel that soft, warm feeling you were going for. The soft, soothing atmosphere definitely envelops the scene in a cozy glow, which evokes feelings of tranquility and quiet comfort.

And their positions on their stools—just what I wanted to express with words. Cas in his apron over the trench coat (so cute!), Dean in his flannel and jeans, looking all “lumberjack” cozy. The way their eyes are closed, expressions soft, as they enjoy the moment, completely soaking up that closeness—it just melts my heart and makes me go d’awwwww. You've captured that moment so beautifully! 💗

Plus, the background decorations? So cool! The Halloween touches with the garland of little ghosts and bats (and of course pumpkins), the bigger pumpkins, the magical flasks on the shelf, the candles on the table—it’s all so Halloween-y and creates just the right ambiance to go along with the fic! 🎃 It screams October, and the whole vibe is just... chef’s kiss! The perfect blend of October magic and witchy shenanigans.

And let me just gush for a second about the banner—WOW.

I can’t believe you gifted me such an amazing “Bang experience”—without me even participating in a Big Bang! This is like getting all the best parts without the pressure. Your art brought my fic to life so beautifully, and it feels like I’ve been swept into the collaborative magic (pun intended) of a Bang after all, which I appreciate so much. Seeing your beautiful work paired with my story is such a special feeling, and I’m incredibly grateful for that. It's like a Big Bang surprise, and I couldn't be happier!

But on to the banner: That purple color in the different hues is so mystical and gorgeously witchy, with those magic bubbles coming out of the cauldron and the ghostly, witchy lettering... it’s the perfect mix of spooky Halloween vibes and enchanting. And the honey-colored liquid bubbling in Cas’ cauldron, with the words drifting up from it adds to that magical touch. I love that we can see part of the cauldron in the other piece, too.

Looking at the fanart, I feel like I’ve been wrapped up in the same warm hug that Dean and Cas are sharing. Thank you so much for this masterpiece! I’m over the moon! 💜

Dean: Cas, you're floating

Cas: *panics*

Dean: Are you testing a potion?

Cas: yes, no other reason

A fanart and a little dialogue as a prequel to @destielshipper4cas' fic (I hope you don’t mind me naming Cas' store, the windows were too empty). Just Dean casually visitng Cas at work.

I've reread this fic so many times already...

The story is so sweet, I just love witch!Cas

[destielshipper4cas]

Oh WOW, this is so freaking awesome, I can't even begin to explain!

First off, I owe you an apology for being late to the party. I’m hardly ever on Tumblr, and I just found this by accident. But oh my god, am I glad I did because now I’m absolutely buzzing with excitement!!

Dean and Cas looking at each other—awwww! That soft, intense eye contact just gets me every time. Dean is totally laid-back and leaning against the counter all casual. And his freckles—eeeeeeeeeeeeeek! Oh, and his shirt riding up, heh! Love the posture! Cas’ too, of course, floating slightly above the floor.

They’re both totally focused on each other, which is so sweet. Cas is clearly trying to keep his cool but there’s that subtle worry, like he’s wondering if Dean’s finally catching on. (Because let’s face it, his lies aren’t the most convincing.) Meanwhile, Dean’s just chill, but intrigued as to what’s going on with the floating. It’s perfect!

Also, can we talk about how you captured their dynamic through dialogue so perfectly in this scene? It had me laughing out loud! The humor just adds this extra layer that makes everything even better.

Okay, obviously I love Dean and Cas here, and can’t stop smiling at their antics. But let’s talk the details all around them—because holy smokes, you nailed it! I love everything that’s going on in the background. It totally gives the world of this AU life.

The clock with the quirky numbers? SO witchy! It gives me serious magic shop vibes, like it’s not just keeping time but ticking with spells and mysteries. And then there’s the flower floating inside that bell jar—it’s such a Beauty and the Beast vibe that I absolutely love here!

And wait—is that a flame flickering inside the other jar next to it? Also a cool witchy thing. And don’t even get me started on that ethereal glow coming from the potion! The colors in this piece in general are mesmerizing! I can practically feel the magic radiating off the page.

The way you’ve used light here and the counter reflecting those shimmering lights (also coming from the plants) gives it such a nice warm feeling. And also like the room is bathed in this magical glow—it’s so stunning.

I love how you added the goblet and all these occult-looking trinkets. They’re exactly the kind of things I can picture Cas collecting—each one with a backstory, mysterious and powerful.

And then there’s the flower on the other shelf. I swear, it looks like it has opinions about everything happening in the room, just sitting there silently, judging. Maybe it's listening in on the conversation, waiting to chime in on the magical gossip later! And those plants scattered around the shop? That just screams witch!Cas to me.

Every little detail adds so much to the overall atmosphere, weaving together a vibe that feels so perfectly magical and immersive! It’s all so thoughtfully crafted, and honestly, the creativity here is just off the charts!

I don’t mind you naming the shop at all. I love that you came up with something so perfectly fitting for Cas. And that little detail of Cas wearing a shirt with the shop’s name is so sweet. It feels like one of those quiet, understated touches that just makes it feel real, like he’s got this soft, almost nerdy pride in what he’s built. I can’t make out the word under Honeyd miracles, though. Does it still belong to the shop name?

You’ve truly brought this prequel moment and the vibe of the fic to life in ways I couldn’t have imagined! Thank you for this absolute masterpiece—I can’t stop smiling while looking at it! 💖

(I warned you about the possibility of surprise art so yeah unable to say I didn't warn you)

had a lot of trouble with posing these bozos so it might look sketchy and therefore like it was done in an hour but yeah I did actually try with this. so here's Dean and Cas 'playing' like in the fic (I'm imagining it being before Cas' flat 'I surrender' and actually nearly put Dean's dialogue in the image but it took up a lot of space and this looks more intimate and stuff)

for the background I whipped out 'pen (soft)' again to make it less in focus but still there. they're on that island place together rolling in the grass and yes it does look suspiciously destiel colored ty for noticing. @trinitylinncaanen helped out a ton with how to actually make it look like they just came out of the lake so hooray for Dean and Cas being soaked 🎉

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! I’m completely blown away by this incredible piece of fanart! It really was such an amazing and unexpected surprise—it totally made my day! I had no idea that the question you asked was a sneaky way to gather info for fanart. 😁 I’ve always loved getting questions in comments because it gives me a chance to dive deeper into the worlds I create and chat about all the little details that don’t always make it into the final story. So, getting to answer a question was a treat in and of itself.

I know I’ve told you before, but knowing that something I shared inspired you to create a piece of art is just the best feeling ever and makes me want to start working on the next chapter ASAP. (Which I will do once I’m done here because I’m bouncing around grinning from ear to ear right now and all excited about the next chapter.) It’s like a creative loop where we’re feeding off each other’s energy and ideas, and I absolutely love it. 🥰

I can't express how much I love all the details you put into it. First off, Dean and Cas look absolutely adorable together. The way you captured their dynamic fits that scene perfectly. It’s the perfect mix of tension, affection, and underlying emotions. I’m always in awe of how you manage to bring that across. It’s spot on. Dean’s confident, almost teasing demeanor contrasts beautifully with Cas’ more uncertain, wide-eyed expression, and it fits the moment from that scene so well.

Dean is all self-assured, the hint of a smirk playing on his lips, leaning in like he knows exactly what he’s doing (even if he might be winging it a little), while Cas has this deer-in-the-headlights expression.

The positions/ body language here is everything. With Dean on top of Cas and their faces just inches apart, the tension between them is palpable. It’s like they’re frozen in that moment right before something big happens, and you can practically feel the anticipation.

Cas’ expression while looking up at Dean is absolutely perfect—he’s so caught off guard and oblivious to Dean’s flirting techniques, and it’s hilarious in the best way. And Dean, leaning down as if they’re about to kiss, an almost cocky look on his face, clearly thinks he’s making the smoothest move ever. It’s such a classic Dean moment, and you’ve captured it beautifully. It’s a subtle but powerful representation of the push-and-pull dynamic here.

And of course, I love the Destiel colors—blue and green really pop here, especially in combination with the out-of-focus effect that gives the setting a dreamy quality of that perfect secret place. Plus, it’s like we’re seeing the world from their perspective, with everything else fading away because all that matters is the two of them in that moment.

The fresh-out-of-the-water look is such a fantastic touch as well. You can almost sense the cool droplets on their skin. That, in addition to the lake in the background, adds a refreshing contrast to the heat of the moment (and of the day).

I genuinely can’t stop smiling every time I look at this. You’ve chosen a nice scene to illustrate, and you’ve brought it to life in a way that’s just so full of emotion and detail. Thank you so much for this incredible gift—I’m absolutely in love with it! 😍

[golby-moon]

so an unspecified number of months ago I read this great fic (linked below) and was inspired to make art for it but alas, bang responsibilities happened. the line art for this has been sitting around forever and I finally found the time to color, shade, and throw a background on this bad boy and now I finally get to chuck it at the author's head as promised

(sorry for taking forever gfhfjfi)

so yeah I wanted to have two scenes for this as sort of a before/after, which is also reflected in the colors of the clothes (or towel) matching the other person's color in the second pic whereas they kinda clash in the first (Cas' bright shirt vs Dean's drabber one). also I tried something newish with the background where it's there but hopefully not super attention drawing idk thoughts? and yeah the roofs are like that on purpose. also also tried something new with the tears idk hopefully that looks okay

(also also also if that first drawing's poses look familiar, it's because I used it before in an old art piece that idk I never really liked for a few reasons that I rant about in the tags a bit and can explain more but I saw it again the other day and wanted to kinda rectify that as kind of a redraw. idk I think it looks better now with the proportions all rounded off and the lines a bit smoother, though Dean's arm is a bit too long here I'm realizing. oh well. any shorter and their faces would've been touching so what can you do)

((I say also too much))

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! THIS IS SO AWESOME!!! Absolutely breathtaking!

OMG are they cuuuuuute! I love both of these pieces so much! 😍 I could stare at them all day.

The scene where they’re picking up the apples! Awwwwww!

The way you captured Dean and Cas’ connection is just perfect—those looks they're sharing are so full of  depth, their faces so close together as they’re already busy staring into each other’s eyes. 😁 Cas, of course, wary and all ‘Who’s this alpha?’ (And same thing for Dean: ‘Who’s this cute but kinda weird witch?’) Heh, their faces almost touching makes it even better!

And Cas in the bee-colored mittens? So adorable! 🐝 I love that you can see him having trouble picking up the apples in those mittens, so he’s just taking the apple Dean is offering while Dean already has a second apple in his other hand. It’s such a sweet moment!

The background is stunning too. The houses and the forest behind them give off such a cozy, small-town vibe that fits the story perfectly. The idea with the colors is great, too, and talking about colors, I love how you can see the sun shining because of the colors / shadows. The atmosphere you've created is so vivid and heartwarming!

Thank you so much for bringing this scene to life with your incredible talent! It means the world to me! 💛✨

And I even got a second scene?! How lucky am I? It’s such a nice scene to pick and I love the before/after idea!

This one is absolutely stunning, too! 😍 I love how you’ve focused on the foreground (in both pieces), making it feel like a beautifully captured moment. The effect feels like the camera has it in focus.

Cas with tears in his eyes is so heart-wrenching, and Dean’s reassuring expression is just perfect. Their hand-holding now without the mittens is depicted in such a loving way. You can feel the emotions just looking at it.

Cas in just a towel adds an extra layer of vulnerability that makes this moment even more powerful. (Heh, shirtless Cas!)

The detail of the bee picture on the wall in the background is a wonderful nod, and it ties everything together beautifully.

Thank you so much for creating and sharing these amazing illustrations! They have truly made my day so much brighter! 💗 Your art captures the essence of the story so nicely and brings these moments to life in such an amazing way that I'm left in awe. I’m so grateful for your incredible work!

Masterlist of fics for my regular commenters

Since I don't think it sends out notifications or shows a list of all the fics in the collection for regular commenters, I thought we might need a master list. I hope there are some of my regulars here on tumblr as well, or at least I can link to the masterlist.

Visit from the Future (E-rated scene) (Summary: Dean and Cas’ future son appears in the bunker to warn them. That’s right—their future son. Dean and Cas aren’t even together, but as soon as Jack is gone, they get right on it. They have a son to conceive…)

The Ruse (Timestamp) (Summary: Additional scene for "The Ruse.")

Scent for Hire (Explicit scene) (Summary: Additional E-rated scene for "Scent for Hire.")

Cuddle Pheromones (Summary: A scared omega fae releases pheromones that trigger the alpha’s instinctive need to take care of them. When Dean is made to cuddle an omega fae, he is initially not too happy about it. (In the end, he is very, very happy, though.))

The Tale of a Fae Who Fell for a Human (Summary: Omega fae need to copulate with human alphas to create offspring. Castiel goes to the land of the humans to get impregnated by an alpha. He ends up with more than just a litter of pups in his belly.)

Dry Spell (Summary: Dean is going through a dry spell and Cas seduces him with a lap dance.)

Knot Massage (Summary: Castiel has never been able to knot an omega. A knot massage is supposed to help with that issue. (The one where Cas realizes he’s into alphas.)

Enchanted Heart (Summary: Decades ago, Castiel enchanted his heart to avoid any future heartbreak. Now, when Dean tells him he's in love with him, he would give anything to be able to reciprocate Dean’s feelings. Unbeknownst to him, the enchantment has long since stopped working. Right around the time he started falling in love with Dean…)

Knotting Game (Summary: Dean and Cas are trying to figure out who would win in an alpha fight—meaning who manages to pop their knot while in the other’s ass. You know, usual best friends stuff.)

Alpha Race for Charity (Summary: Dean convinces Cas to take part in an alpha race for charity. Pretty straightforward stuff: alphas chasing and catching omegas and winning a date with them. But things take a surprising turn on the day of the race.)

Mated (Bonus chapter) (Dean in rut. Between chapters 12 and 13)

Just a Little Crush (Summary: Dean regularly visits Cas at the witch market to provide him with whatever herbs and plants he needs for his potions. So what if he has developed a harmless crush on the omega with the bewitching scent?)

The Most Erotic Photo (Summary: Cas wants his best friend Dean to take erotic photos of him in order to seduce an alpha. What could go wrong?)

It Began in the Bathroom Stall (Summary: Dean wasn’t having a particularly great time. He hadn’t wanted to go to this snobbish office party in the first place, but then he’d met an intriguing omega who asked for his help getting back at his ex, and Dean’s night turned more exciting than he ever could have imagined.)

Slick for the Doc (Summary: Unable to slick anymore, Cas goes to a new doctor for omegas, Doctor Winchester. The attraction is immediate, and when Dean checks if everything is working right, things get hot and heavy…)

Mates for Life (Reupload)

Forbidden Touch (Summary: In a world governed by betas, alphas and omegas aren’t allowed to touch. When Dean rescues Cas from drowning, that rule goes straight out the window. From then on, they find more excuses to touch…)

[destielshipper4cas]

wait who said the first art thing for this fic was allowed to have been made way back in March it feels like maybe a month ago. ignoring that because denial. very illegal, just like my complete and utter lack of any sort of idea how shading works. uh yeah let's ignore that as well

this probably isn't what the author was picturing like at all but ehh an attempt was made. tried to make Cas' clothes trench coat-y but I think I failed also I'm not sure what the guard or whoever it is in the corner is holding either. a baton thing maybe. the attempt at showing motion via shadows also failed but let's ignore that too

oh look more art for this fic (I swear I'm not getting commissioned or anything I just like the fic ghfjfjfbf)

I read chapter 10 and just had to draw this. in my original mental image of this, other people were, y'know, there, but the angle didn't work too well so just imagine a separate image with a bunch of very confused people scratching their heads over the idiots that go by the names Dean and Cas (or Jimmy, as it were)

now that nobody's wearing ambiguously brown clothes of some sort, I got to go wild with the color schemes and have Cas in his vaguely trench coat inspired jacket wearing green and red (the design of which is meant to mirror what he's wearing in my first art thingy for this fic stored conveniently above) and Dean wearing blue and yellow on his dangerously flannel-y shirt. the secondary colors are supposed to be royal colors or whatever but they're also the opposite colors of Dean and Cas' designations

I also wanted to place a lot of emphasis on the letter 'w' for Winchester, so there are some on the tops of the thrones as well as little mini designs on both of their shirts. the portrait on the wall is entirely insignificant ignore it. ignore the lazy wall and floors too. oh ignore my sad attempts at shading as well uhm

I did wanna put Dean and Cas in crowns, but decided against it because since when do princes just walk around with those while they're at home. with the way I'm making stuff for this fic, maybe I'll get a chance to draw Dean (and maybe Cas as well if Dean gets his wish lol) in crowns in the future gjhhigh

(in case people can't read it, Dean's saying 'I claim him as my future mate,' a line straight from the fic)

*slaps roof of car labeled 'The Ruse'* this bad boy can fit so much fanart in it (seriously though I was rereading the fic to try to predict the ending so I could make preemptive fanart for it and mannn I could draw like 20 more scenes I don't even like historical au things but I love this one gjkhffg)

for reference though this was sketched out after chapter 13. I just so happen to have predicted the book thing which I'm more than happy about because Cas deserves it

I present Dean teaching Cas how to read so that he can find out what happens to the three-eyed toad and the snail :0

wanted to make one more art piece for this fic but since it was ending soonish and I wanted to maybe have it done like right around the time the fic posted, I went off on my own a little. this idea was kind of inspired by someone's comment on the fic where they were hoping Dean eventually taught Cas how to read (and also cooked for him some more though this picture doesn't have that uh) and I liked the idea enough to sketch it out and promptly rekindled my hatred of drawing sitting positions because they're impossible. also books. books never look quite right

made this before any chapter particular was posted so it's...basically just inspired by the fic itself. I wasn't sure where to have this take place but did eventually decide on the 'favorite spot on the hill' that Dean mentioned before. added trees for the sake of both of their spines because ow imagine just sitting upright without even leaning on anything for however long. Impala's there for very important reasons and the colors on the saddle around the 'w' definitely aren't supposed to be the designation colors ofc not. speaking of colors, Dean and Cas are absolutely wearing each others' because I'm weak

the words on the back of the book say: 'A Journey to the Fae Land' is a story that is not about snails and toads.' (I think I'm funny)

((I'm not))

it's interesting to see my style kinda develop though. still can't believe the first pic is from March what

shockingly, the fic this is made for is still called "The Ruse" by @destielshipper4cas (which is now competed yay)

OMG, they are SO CUUUUUUTE!!! 😍 😍 😍 You know just how to make my fannish heart soar and squee. Seriously, looking at it fills me with so much joy, you have no idea. I can’t stop smiling.

THE POSE! So utterly adorable, I can’t even. Dean cuddling him and pulling him against his chest, awwwwwww! His hands all protective around him, you can totally feel the softness and love. And Cas between his legs, leaning against him cross-legged, are you trying to kill me with cuteness overload here? They are so close, with Dean looking over Cas’ shoulder and the position totally lends itself to Dean kissing Cas’ cheek for a word he got right. 😁 (I know you didn’t know about the kissing deal at the time, but it is the perfect position for that anyway!) The tree was definitely a nice idea for them to lean against and they would absolutely go out for some peace and quiet on Dean’s favorite hill every day.

And THE EXPRESSIONS! Heh, SO FUN! The way Cas is squinting at the book, trying to concentrate on the letters (and probably getting distracted by Dean’s closeness) is so him! And the way he’s holding the book, I can almost hear him stumble over a word, trying to figure it out. (I almost had a part in there where he was confused about ‘knight’/ ‘night.’ That’s what I imagine here. I ultimately didn’t include that scene because I thought maybe someone would point out that during the Middle Ages, the ‘k’ in ‘knight’ was actually pronounced. I mean, I didn’t make them talk like people talked during the Middle Ages anyway, and historical accuracy wasn’t my main goal because this is a *fantasy* medieval world, but anyway…)

And Dean! So patient with his student, and his expression makes it clear he’s so in love. He’s having lots of fun, too, because he gets to cuddle Cas and be all proud of him when he makes progress. And the colors of the clothes… awwwwww! Of course, I love the symbolism and details on Baby and her saddle as well. She’s also very cute and fits so perfectly, grazing in the background and giving our lovebirds some space.

THE BOOK! I LOVE the callback to “A Journey to the Fae Land.” And the three-eyed toad and the snail! 😆 OMG, this is too awesome! You just know Cas will pick that book immediately when they return to the cabin. And I had to laugh out loud at the words on the back of the book. (I totally vibe with your sense of humor.)

Thanks again so much for gifting me this piece of fanart (and the three others). I can’t believe I have an illustrated fic now and I’m forever grateful. This one is now my new desktop background. (Maybe I will rotate between them.)

uh I did a thing. one of the first times I've ever attempted the art of Horse (or anything resembling medieval for that matter) so be gentle

wait who said the first art thing for this fic was allowed to have been made way back in March it feels like maybe a month ago. ignoring that because denial. very illegal, just like my complete and utter lack of any sort of idea how shading works. uh yeah let's ignore that as well

this probably isn't what the author was picturing like at all but ehh an attempt was made. tried to make Cas' clothes trench coat-y but I think I failed also I'm not sure what the guard or whoever it is in the corner is holding either. a baton thing maybe. the attempt at showing motion via shadows also failed but let's ignore that too

oh look more art for this fic (I swear I'm not getting commissioned or anything I just like the fic ghfjfjfbf)

I read chapter 10 and just had to draw this. in my original mental image of this, other people were, y'know, there, but the angle didn't work too well so just imagine a separate image with a bunch of very confused people scratching their heads over the idiots that go by the names Dean and Cas (or Jimmy, as it were)

now that nobody's wearing ambiguously brown clothes of some sort, I got to go wild with the color schemes and have Cas in his vaguely trench coat inspired jacket wearing green and red (the design of which is meant to mirror what he's wearing in my first art thingy for this fic stored conveniently above) and Dean wearing blue and yellow on his dangerously flannel-y shirt. the secondary colors are supposed to be royal colors or whatever but they're also the opposite colors of Dean and Cas' designations

I also wanted to place a lot of emphasis on the letter 'w' for Winchester, so there are some on the tops of the thrones as well as little mini designs on both of their shirts. the portrait on the wall is entirely insignificant ignore it. ignore the lazy wall and floors too. oh ignore my sad attempts at shading as well uhm

I did wanna put Dean and Cas in crowns, but decided against it because since when do princes just walk around with those while they're at home. with the way I'm making stuff for this fic, maybe I'll get a chance to draw Dean (and maybe Cas as well if Dean gets his wish lol) in crowns in the future gjhhigh

(in case people can't read it, Dean's saying 'I claim him as my future mate,' a line straight from the fic)

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Thank you so, so much for this AWESOME piece of art! 😍 How is this so adorable??

And it’s such a funny piece, too, it just makes you smile and chuckle and instantly brightens your day. Dean’s expression is the best! All self-assured, and OMG, the gesture with his hand underlining his words is so Dean! And the hand on Cas’ shoulder, pulling him against him, awwww!

Poor Cas, meanwhile, is all big and round eyes, trying to seem inconspicuous, but you can basically see him gulp, and of course all sweaty. 😁 Again, both their expressions are just priceless.

You’re so creative, I love all the little elements you included! The little ‘w’s are such a nice touch! I love the symbolism. Talking of which, THE COLORS! So many levels! I don’t think I would have picked up on the royal colors as the opposite of their designations, but now that you pointed it out, that is an awesome idea to include! And of course, the royal colors are also in the background. Love the thrones with the red curtain as a frame. And I also dig the painting in the background, which makes it more throne room-y.

And their clothes really brighten it up. The flannel-y shirt, heh, so much fun! Definitely the right call not to have them wear their crowns.

Thanks so much for bringing this scene to life! I can’t not smile when looking at it. You captured the mood of the scene perfectly. 😍 Seriously, you have no idea how happy this gift makes me. I'm gonna stare at it some more and then use the inspiration to work on the next chapter.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!! 💖 💖 💖  I can’t believe how adorable this is! They take every opportunity they can get to snuggle. 😁

The way they’re trying to hide in the shadows, Dean pushing Cas into the alcove and being all protective in the process, awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

I just love their embrace here. Dean shielding him with his body, arms around Cas’ back/ waist, and Cas hugging him right back (because where else is he supposed to put his hands? Obviously around Dean’s back and shoulder, hand inching its way to the back of his neck; perfectly normal hiding position they got going there 😆).

Cas’ expression is so sweet! He so enjoys being cuddled and protected, but at the same time, he wants Dean’s cuddles all to himself and is longing for his touches, the lovesick idiot. Poor thing doesn’t realize that he already has Dean.

I love how they fit together, Dean just slightly bigger so that Cas can snuggle into his shoulder, so close to Dean’s neck that he’s about to take the opportunity and scent him. (He's so close anyway that Dean's scent is calming him.)

And their outfits are awesome! You can tell that Cas’ outfit is inspired by his trench coat, but is still a fitting ‘bandit’ outfit. And Dean’s hood! Still every bit the incognito prince, heh.

And while they’re off in their alcove, enjoying being so close to each other, there’s a sense of danger in the background with the shadows of the guards.

The colors and the light/shadows are great! Gives off a mysterious atmosphere of the secret tunnels underneath the castle.

I love it so much, I'm all giddy now. Thanks SO much for this awesome piece of art and for making my day! 💗 I can’t believe I’m lucky enough to have gotten two pieces of fanart for this fic! 😍

back to Supernatural art running off of a lazy relaxed schedule yay. blame creature!Cas and his human best friend+

went with more of a painting style almost with the background but the blobs did not resemble humans so sketches were added. believe me, it's for the best. but aren't they pretty when everything's glowing and they're doing that staring thing again

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! LOOK AT THESE AWESOME ILLUSTRATIONS!!!!! 😍💖😍💖😍

Okay, now that that’s out of the way and I’ve calmed down a bit (although I’m still all asquee), let’s start with the first one when they’re kids after Cas rescued Dean. They are SO FRIGGIN CUUUUTE!!! Cas with his too-long coat. Awwwwwww! 😍 That’s so creative! And them just staring at each other, Cas a bit worried, the poor thing, and Dean all dumbfounded.

I love the magic emanating from his hand, the bracelet forgotten on the ground, and from his eyes. And “dragon slayer” Dean with his sword! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! They are just the cutest pair! Also, I love the setting! Yeah, that’s exactly where they were playing. Oh, and Cas’ magic mimicking the waves in the background but more glowy is a nice touch!

And the one where they’re adults!!! Again, so cute with them staring deep into each other’s eyes. The shy smiles—you can so see from the expressions alone how much they are in love. And then there’s of course the way they’re so close, closer together now, holding hands, which makes it very intimate. (Eeeeeeeeeeee, holding hands! Totally about to kiss or scent.) This time, the magic is swirling all around them, now that Dean has taken the bracelet off. And OMG, the magic forming a heart between them! How are you so great with details? Speaking of details, I love Dean’s belt buckle. You chose such a nice outfit for him. And little Cas has grown into his coat, awww!

Anyway, thank you so much for using your talent to illustrate that fic! 💗 I love both pieces to BITS! 😍

Destiel fic: Dry Spell

The lap dance fic I was talking about is now available for regular commenters here:

Dry Spell (Summary: Dean is going through a dry spell and Cas seduces him with a lap dance.)

“You want to feel my slick glands,” Cas repeated, without inflection.

“I mean… yeah.”)

[destielshipper4cas]

fics in PWP collection

I moved "A Helping Hand" into a PWP collection (too many silent readers / private bookmarks made me feel self-conscious), so to my commenters, you can now access it here:

A Helping Hand (Summary: “What do you mean, you don’t get slick? Every omega gets slick, right?”

“I don’t.” Cas shrugged. “Guess there’s something wrong with my slick glands or something.”

Dean helps stimulate Cas’ slick glands.)

I also wrote quite a few (rather kinky) PWP fics that I posted to that collection and I will probably always post my PWPs to that collection from now on. A quick overview of other fics in that collection so far:

...And Put Away Pregnant (Summary: The unofficial sequel to "Ridden Hard."

Dean fucks Cas so much that they both change their secondary gender designations to reflect their dynamic.)

And even a sequel to the sequel:

The Pregnant Alpha (Summary: Cas is pregnant with Dean's pups, which makes them both horny. Beware: includes lactation kink)

An Alpha's Slick (Inspired by "A Helping Hand," only alpha/alpha; Summary: Alpha Cas was born with slick glands. When Dean finds out about it, he gets curious… and wants proof.

“You want to feel my slick glands,” Cas repeated, without inflection.

“I mean… yeah.”)

Bitched (Summary: Dean keeps impregnating (bitched) alpha Cas, who ends up carrying a huge litter before they realize what’s going on. Beware: different biology than how things work in real life.

Could possibly be seen as taking place in the same universe as “The Rival Alpha.” Or I might expand on it and create a whole universe of its own.)

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! Look at this AWESOME piece of art! 😍😍😍

This is just the cutest thing and I'm in love with the illustration! Dean and Cas are too adorable here.

Don't mind me, I'm dead of squee over here.

(Wow, I wouldn't have guessed that you don't have experience drawing horses. This one looks amazing!)
