also just while I’m here in ur inbox I’m currently just starting S7 of spn so. there’s that!
Omg i keep forgetting to open my asks, this is probably so old by now. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️ I should probably get that FUR rating cranked up more lmao.
Anyways at this point you're probably at S8 already lol
i like how i can search "kissa" on your blog to see a really good exhibition of castiel pics. thank you for your service
My genuine instinctual response upon seeing a good cas pic is whispering "kissa you" and i think it should be everyone's response. Glad you're benefitting from my cas adoration
I off-handedly mentioned ppl finding cannibalism sexy (in the context of Hannibal) but I forgot that my friend has never been on tumblr before and now I’m fighting in for my life trying to prove that I’m not just insane and that it IS a thing and it DOES make sense and I literally cited one of ur consumehimnatural posts to prove my point.
im having a completely normal one 🤠
Oh HELL yes, spread the agenda ❤️ the crucial thing here is that cas literally ate meat while on the floor (idk if you're at that point in S5 already but yeah thesis episode)
Would it be too cliche to suggest that dean would eventually ask them to use naomi's tools on him so he can forget his part in this? Perhaps the plot is dean discovering that the whole family are husks of their former selves and then retroactively putting together that it was his fault and the reason he can't recall is because he couldn't face what he'd done? Pygmalion turns his tools on himself?
Context: My S13 AU where Dean uses Naomi's tools on Jack and it all goes downhill from there
I considered this for a moment but decided to drop the idea because I wanted to preserve the primary motivation of the fic, which is to trap Dean in a torture chamber of his own making. The fact that Dean doesn't have the luxury and escape of forgetting is super sexy to me.
(I also have a more jokey response to this, which is that Dean doesn't need to use Naomi's tools on himself because he already has those tools built into his own head lol. My man literally rewrote his memories of Purgatory just to escape the grief of knowing that Cas intentionally left him. I'm pretty sure he can and will do the same here if it means that he can enjoy the fact that his family is together without the guilt of what he did constantly bothering him.)
I've had this idea for a long while but I never posted about it so here we go: Reaper AU.
Castiel is a reaper. Dean and Sam are born out of a family of powerful psychics. Sam has heightened sense and prophetic visions. Dean can travel through the Veil (astral projection).
When they were kids, Sam gets attacked by a wraith. He seems fine but they didn't know that his spirit was fatally wounded.
Sam was about to die in his sleep when Dean's brotherly instincts kick in and he projects during his sleep.
He sees Cas about to reap Sam but Dean manages to push all his strength in order to block the scythe. Sam's death is delayed at the cost of a sliver of Dean's soul. Dean now has a scar on his hand, both physically and spiritually.
Cas rips Dean away from his scythe (which leaves Dean the handprint). Cas' silver scythe now has gold in its tip.
Dean now has special Sight and can see through the Veil. He can also summon a blade (which looks like an angel blade), a manifestation of his incomplete reaperhood.
Castiel is tasked to watch over the boy. A human powerful enough to tap into the magic of his soul and literally rewrite fate is definitely a force to be reckoned with.
One time, while Dean was practicing with his blade and testing if he can force it into a full scythe, he accidentally pulls into his connection with Cas and summons his scythe instead, alongside Castiel who is absolutely pissed for being interrupted during his work.
This occurrence happens a few more times. They talk, they bond, you know how this goes.
I still don't know what I want the overarching plot of this to be. I DO want there to be a scene where Cas and Dean fight with their backs pressed against the other, scythe and blade in hand.
Okay this is fresh out of the oven (and when i say that i mean i Literally came up with this just this morning) so here we go.
Basically as we were getting my brother's uniform from the tailor i was reminded of that one deleted scene where human cas is mending his own clothes and i was like "GOD i bet an AU where cas is a tailor would fucking SLAP" and that's where this came from. Here's a bullet list of some of my ideas at the moment:
Cas is a tailor with a mysterious past. Dean (this is stanford era btw) is around town for a case. He passes by Cas while he's researching in the library and was like 👀 eyes emoji but eventually went back to focus on the case.
In one fateful instance, Cas' peaceful evening is interrupted when he sees a bleeding and nearly unconscious man at his doorstep.
When Dean wakes up, he finds that all his wounds have been neatly stitched up. (Suspiciously, he cannot feel the broken bones he was absolutely sure were broken last night, but hey, he's not complaining.)
He formally meets and thanks Cas. Dean starts giving excuses about his wounds but Cas assures him that he knows. When pressed about it, all he says was that he "used to be a hunter."
The case is done, Dean skips town. But every opportunity that he gets, he stops by Cas' place. Sometimes to ask for research help, sometimes just to hang out.
I have one fleshed out scene in my head which is the inspiration for this entire thing. I want there to be a scene where Dean asks him what he enjoys about creating and mending clothes so much. Cas shows him the stack of uniforms he's mending. "This one's for a sales clerk. This one's for an aircraft mechanic. This one's for a firefighter." Cas explains how he feels useful for touching the lives of these different people, even in just small ways. "They're all out there doing something for the world. I reckon it's the least I could do to pay it forward, to help them in all the little ways I can. Especially after I left my... previous occupation."
When his dad goes missing, Dean immediately goes to Cas first, only to find his store cleaned out and empty. He asks around town but apparently Cas has been planning to move out for quite a while, but they don't know where he's moving to.
And he never told Dean. Didn't even leave a number. Dean feels well and truly alone, this time. He immediately heads off to see Sam.
A few years later, while he and Sam are doing a case, he stumbles upon a very familiar face. It's Cas. Who seems to have barely aged after all these years.
So that's basically all I have at the moment. The more fleshed out backstory for Cas is under the cut:
Cas is a fallen angel, Anna-style. He asked permission from Jimmy's mom and told her who and what he is, where he hid his grace, etc etc. He then hitched a ride with Jimmy and became his twin.
He basically lived his entire life as a human, but when he's in his early 40s, Jimmy suddenly falls gravely ill and the current medicine at the time has no answers for him.
Their mom finally reveals to Cas his true nature and tells him about his grace. She tells him the same warnings that Cas gave her when he was still an angel: "You'll never grow old. You'll outlive everyone that you love." Etc etc.
Cas acknowledges the consequences and still takes his grace. His brother can't die yet, Amelia and Claire still needs him. He heals his brother.
They stay happy for a long while (with Cas secretly healing his family's illnesses here and there). But eventually the "I just age better than you" excuse grows tired, and Cas knows he has two choices: reveal his true nature to the rest of the family, or run away. His mother would respect either decision.
He decides the latter. He doesn't want to risk their safety by giving them knowledge as dangerous as knowing his existence. He keeps them in the dark and gives them the "I need to find myself" excuse and starts driving around in his motorcycle.
He eventually falls into hunting. After all, what's the use of this millenia-worth of knowledge if he's not gonna use it to help?
He sends his family letters from time to time but never shows his face ever again. (How can he even explain the fact that he didn't even age a little after a decade or so?) He couldn't even be there during the funeral of their parents, he could only watch from afar.
One day, tragedy strikes: he finds out that Amelia and Jimmy has been killed. (Claire is safe, Jimmy told her to stay in the basement.) Traces of sulfur tells him it's a demon.
He makes sure from afar that Claire is dropped off to a distant relative of theirs before he goes into his vengeance plot. After all, he reclaimed his grace for his brother's sake and it still ends up like this?
After a few years or so, he finally kills the demon (it's another Knight of Hell who caught scent of rumors of a fallen angel and started digging). He doesn't feel fulfilled.
Feeling remorseful for being so deep into his revenge plot that he failed to check on Claire for a while, he goes back to that distant relative only to find out that they're dead. He panics and starts looking for Claire's trail.
He finds out what happened to Claire after all these years (which follows nearly the same path as canon): relative dies, she gets thrown into juvie for a while, she escapes. This time, she meets a hunter while she was looking for who or what killed her parents. She becomes a hunter as well.
Their first reunion obviously doesn't go well. She resents him for leaving her alone at the time when she needed someone the most. He tells her what he is (because he had to assure he that he's not a shifter or a demon) and that he already avenged her parents.
She deflates after finding out that she spent all this time in a revenge plot that was already finished. It takes a long while, but they eventually reconcile.
A few decades pass even more, and even Claire eventually passes away of old age. Eventually, the only one left of Cas' family is himself. He eventually gets tired of the repetitive cycle of hunting.
After quitting hunting, Cas tries on different professions, but eventually settles into being a tailor. He skips town after a few years in order to avoid suspicion due to his unchanging age.
Over the years, he forms a network of connections with other supernatural creatures who just want to live in peace, away from any danger. They're the ones who help him when he needs a new location.
When he first sees the bright soul at his doorstep, he immediately knew he was in for some trouble. And still...he brought him in anyway.
I just read WU for the first time, in a period of 24 hours, and I am very fucked up about it. truly insane fic for insane people . changing my major to psychology as I type. also your essays on it (sorry promise I'm not a stalker I just went through the general WU tag) are so fucking good I am banging my head against a wall .
OMG I'm so honored! Speaking as someone who have reread WU an unholy amount of times already, your second read of WU (if you ever do so) hits so fucking different knowing all the context and where they'll end up at the end. If you don't have time for a full reread, I suggest my favorite stack of WU chapters: Chapters 1, 9, and 26. This stack forces you to look at the entirety of WU in the perspective of the BAU (with Ch.1 for the context and set-up). I'm actually planning a WU stackednatural so I'll probably post about that once I'm done coming up with all the interesting stacks for rereads.
