It's this time of the year again! DCBB 2025! To be honest, I wasn't planning to participate this year but I still browsed the sites just in case. This one caught my eyes so I just HAD to claim it.

There were so many good scenes in this story, but sadly I am not confident in my skills and time enough to have done them justice. I chose the two that spoke to me the most as I was reading.

It's actually been so long since I read a Destiel fic or just drawn these two. I am really happy the fic I read was this one.

Title : Colors of Paradise (link)

Author : hazel bites

It’s summer 1978. Dean Winchester is twenty-three and fresh out of prison, ready to establish a life he’d never gotten a chance to start. He arrives in Copper Creek, Wisconsin, hoping to reconnect with his brother Sam after five years apart. He soon meets a mysterious man who lives alone in the woods and has his own secrets to hide. Neither set out to befriend the other but it happens anyway, almost without them realizing it.

Inspired by “The Spitfire Grill”, this is the story of two damaged men, each with a troubled past, who are trying to figure out how to start over. But they won’t have to do it alone. Not only do they now have each other, but they have the close-knit community of Copper Creek and a little diner called The Spitfire Grill.

My DCBB story is waiting in my Ao3 drafts and ready to go on Monday!

Waiting for posting day feels very similar to the lead up to opening night of a show. Not nerves but anticipation. I’ve done all I can to prepare and now it’s time for the big reveal 🎉

Who knows if I will have another idea for next year, I guess we’ll find out 😅

My illustrations for Nothing But a Sky, a #deancas fanfic by @chaoticdean for the @deancasbigbang which just came out!

I've wanted to be part of some Dean&Cas event since forever. My writer guided me every step of the way, so I couldn't have asked for a better partner! I had so much fun with this (and so little time)!

If you enjoy this pairing, go read the fanfic on AO3! 💫

All fics have been claimed!

Thank you to everyone who helped reblog and spread the word, and to every person who joined us <3 People like you make it possible to keep this event going!

Be on the lookout for an amazing batch of fics and art this year!

The Big Wait

Me, "patiently" waiting to be claimed by an artist for the DCBB. It's my first year participating and it is nerve-wracking, y'all! I'm not sure if I want to throw up from nerves or excitement, and it feels like I stuck my feet in a circle of sharks and I'm waiting for one to bite me already.

I know I'll get claimed eventually, but the tiny sad violin music in the background as others celebrate getting claimed is shrieking violently.

Who knew I was so insecure? I didn't. 😅
