Summary:

Castiel is a down-on-his-luck attorney with nowhere to go but up, after his family abandoned him. Dean is the kind stranger who picked him up from the side of the road and is giving him a ride all the way to California and claims to not want anything in return. But you know what they say, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Excerpt:

Sitting by the side of the road in the middle of Kansas desert with all of his earthly possessions in a single bag, Cas has to turn his head away each time a vehicle passes by. The wind from each passing car stirs up dust that he tries and fails not to breathe in. He's in the middle of one such coughing fit when he notices an old black car start to slow down, then pull over just ahead of him. Not getting ahead of himself, Cas sits, patiently awaiting whatever questions the driver might have for him in order to possibly get a ride. Anxiety flutters low in his stomach, reminding Cas that not everyone has good intentions. A bowlegged, extremely handsome man gets out of the car and starts walking back toward him. Cas tries not to get his hopes up, people have stopped, then refused to take him in the past. “Need a ride?” The man asks, standing a few feet from Cas, looking down at him with emerald green eyes, long eyelashes and perfect pink cupid’s bow lips. The man is wearing a brown leather jacket over a plain white T-shirt, faded jeans and brown work boots. His light brown hair is short and spiked up in the front. “Name’s Dean,” he offers suddenly, with a shy smile. There’s something about it that settles Cas’ stomach, something he trusts. Cas grabs his bag and stands up. “Castiel, but you can call me Cas.” He probably shouldn’t have given his real name, but it’s too late now. Dean nods. “So, where are you headed, man?” Cas shrugs. “As far west as you're willing to take me.” It’s said casually, as if Dean’s response isn’t potentially life-altering for him. Dean seems to take in Cas’ disheveled appearance, contemplating him for a moment before he answers with, “Well then, you’re in luck ‘cause I’m headed to California.” Cas is a little shocked that this man happens to be driving right where he wants to go, but he shrugs it off. “That’ll work. I mean, if you’re really willing to let me ride that far with you?” he asks, hopefully. Dean is the one who shrugs this time, with a confident smile as he tucks his hands in his jeans pockets. “Sure, why not?”

🥱 you makes sense

[ishipdestiel]

😁

[writingdose]

“I want to write a fic about this but I don’t think anybody will be interested in it” ummm hello excuse me ma’am what do you mean you don’t think anybody will be interested in it??? YOU. YOU ARE INTERESTED IN IT???? write it because YOU are interested in it and YOU want to write about it. fanfic writing should always be first and foremost about YOUR enjoyment, not other people’s.

[lezarus]

cas is the best character bc he is everything homophobes think gay ppl are in hes a homewrecking crazy person who when left to his base instincts wants to:

1. brutally murder homophobes

2. steals ppls kids and turns them gay

3. destroy THEE christian god

4. listen exclusively to pop girlies

[lezarus]

to be clear hes also like a deeply interesting and well rounded character like hes a father, a man wrestling his faith, the manifestation of free will and the true human heart of the show. hes like accidentally one of the most compelling and well rounded gay characters ive ever seen but hes also just a little mean homo and i love that abt him!

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

AO3 appreciation post!! reblog if you love archive of our own

[antlered-vixen]

I am so tired of short-attention-span, trim-the-fat culture. All writing advice these days is for how to write like Chuck Palahniuk. "Cut 'think', cut 'feel', cut 'wonder' - only action, only pushing forward, show and move and move and move." What if I could emulate this style, and still don't want to? What if I want to write like Henry James, with three paragraphs of introspective musings between each dialogue line? The music advice is, "make it shortform, make it Tik-Tok compatible, make it punchy, hit the refrain as soon as possible." What if I want that 10-minute prog rock piece? What if I want that symphony? What if I want it slow and luxurious and lazy? Movies. Series. Poetry. Bodies. Everything is "trimmed trimmed trimmed trimmed, stripped bare, you have three seconds to win me over, make it airport chic." I don't want to win you over, then, I guess. I want the fat left it. I want the pleasure and the indolence and the indulgence. Fuck this art-advice that's always "your art needs Ozempic."

[junkiepunkie]

Also the reason it works when Palahniuk does it is because when he does it its weird and almost too cut down to flow properly which works with his characters being usually insane and his storytelling not being linear. It works because his genre is transgressive fiction which is meant to subvert bias and expectations.

If you're writing fantasy or romance or a drama then it doesn't make sense to write it like he would, cause he wouldn't write that. Fantasy and drama thrive on detail and lore, romance thrives in descriptive language. It makes no sense to write a romcom like its fight club, because fundamentally it isn't.

[sirpompet]

Destiel human AU where they’re “really good friends” who live together and spend all their time together. Sams getting married and he sends an invite out to ‘Dean and Castiel.’ Not ‘Dean and a plus one’ not one to Dean and Cas separately. One combined invite. Dean thinks whatever, probably just loping them in together like everyone else does. I mean it’s a kind of given that there a packeted deal so whatever, right? They get suites an everything and go together and as it turns out, not only does Sam think he and Cas are dating, but the rest of Deans extended family too.

Dean's only just getting his life back together after his mistakes cost him his husband, his son, and damn near his liver. There's a long road ahead, filled with pain and heartbreak, the difficult navigating of two parents trying to make divorce work for the sake of their son. Of course, Dean's being morose because it's not all bad, he has his sobriety, he has his brother, he has friends and a job he loves... And maybe - just maybe - one day he'll have Cas back too.

John’s voicemail: If this is an emergency, call my son.

Dean, Cas, Sam and Gabriel at a bar late after a case. Sam and Gabriel determined to make their brothers kiss each other.

Sam: another round? This one’s on me.

Dean: Thanks man

Gabriel: Hey Sam-a-lam, make it something stronger than beer. I’m feeling like fireball.

*Sam recognising fireball as code for starting their matchmaking plan*

Sam: Coming right up! *As he passes to the bar he “bumps into” a random girl who’s drink spills on Cas’ trench coat, he doesn’t look back*

Gabriel: Oh bro you gotta take that off, it’ll be all sticky in a sec.

Cas: *annoyed* alright.

*he takes the jacket off and rolls up his sleeves the was Gabriel told him was normal once. Dean stares the whole time*

Gabriel: You good there Deano? You look red. Tie too tight?

Dean: What? No I’m fine-

Cas: Dean he’s right. You do look red. Let me…

*Cas’ hands try to work Deans tie loose to no avail. Gabriel grins.*

Dean: Stupid fbi costume.

*Sam reappearing with the drinks*

Sam: Whats up?

Gabriel: *downing the fireball* Deans tie is stuck

Sam: huh, hey Cas, you might need to be facing him from the front or something. You’re at a weird angle.

Cas: *thinking it over, slightly tipsy from copious bottles of liquor* Good idea Sam.

*he climbs onto Dean and straddles his lap, tugging his tie again which immediately comes undone leaving Cas holding the two loose ends and accidentally reeling Dean in closer*

Dean: *with a gulp* uh, thanks.

*he looks around and sees Gabriel and Sam are gone*

Dean: Those sons of bitches-

Cas: *unknowingly pressing closer to Dean, bracing himself by holding on to his shoulders* Oh. Was this one of Gabriel’s games?

Dean: …yeah…

Cas: Did he succeed at whatever he was doing-

*Dean grabs Cas and kisses him like his life depends on it, licking in to his mouth and devouring the taste. Cas melts into it and grasps Dean’s hair with one hand, the other resting where his handprint was once seared into Deans flesh. They’re there for a long long while before either of them dare pull away.*

Dean: Cas, I love you-

Gabriel: WOOHOO!! FINALLY!!

*Dean and Cas looking to see that Sam and Gabriel were in fact just hiding at another table*

Dean: Cas, I’m gonna kill your brother.

Cas: I have no objections to that. And I love you too.

Destiel parallels are killing me.

I still remember the parallel between Season 1 and Season 14. In the scene from Season 1, there’s a dialogue between Dean and Cassie (Dean’s girlfriend btw), while Sam standing between them and grinning. And in Season 14, THERE’S EXACTLY THE SAME SCENE, only with Cas instead of Cassie. And there are A LOT OF other parallels. And then they say that Destiel is not real.
