Back with another sneak peek for @spn-mediabigbang! Robbie created yet another gorgeous piece for my fic that I’m so excited to share! This fic is a modern day AU of the 2020 movie, Emma. Except there’s a bit of a twist—what if Emma ended up with Harriet?
It’s been such a blast to collaborate with Robbie! There’s another short excerpt below the artwork (it’s from a separate, but tangential scene). I hope you enjoy!
So Dean’s best friend is some sort of angel.
“How’s a man supposed to live up to the impossible standards you set, huh?” Dean jokes as they’re putting chairs back into the corner of the dining room.
Cas squints at him. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he grumbles as he picks up two chairs at once.
Dean eyes the bulge of Cas’ biceps through the thin fabric of his t-shirt (now that the weather is warming up, Dean’s learned that Cas prefers t-shirts that barely contain those broad shoulders). He tears his gaze away before he gets caught ogling.
“Nothing,” he mutters, warmth rising in his cheeks. “By the way, I had lunch with Charlie and Dorothy yesterday, and they invited us out next weekend.”
“For what?” Cas quirks an eyebrow. A bead of sweat trails down the arch it creates, and Dean is tempted to reach out and wipe it away (he doesn’t).
“I guess Bela wanted to check out the city. Sounds like she’s getting a bit antsy staying in Oakridge.”
“We’re going to the city?” Cas perks up.
They haven’t spent a lot of time in the city together, considering it isn’t Dean’s favorite activity. They’ve made one or two trips just to get gear, but otherwise they’ve stayed in Oakridge or its surrounding nature reserves.
Dean can’t believe he’s saying this. “They want to go to The Titanic.”
There’s a pause before Cas replies, “Where the boat never sinks?”
Dean groans as Cas begins to laugh. He can’t even be mad with Cas with his face scrunched up all cute like that.
“It doesn’t make any sense and you know it.” Dean pretends to pout.
“Are you sure you want to go to Balthazar’s establishment?” Cas asks, his head tipping to the side.
Dean rolls his eyes. “I mean, now that you seem so stoked about it I can’t really say no.”
Hello there! I just came across your blog and wanted to say thank you so much for all of this awesome information and positivity. I’ve identified as pan for going on 8 years now and I remember how ecstatic I was when I first learned about it. Finally it felt like there was a word for how I felt I identified all along! I felt like I wasn’t alone! But the last year or so I feel like there’s been an uptick in panphobic discourse. A lot of blogs that I’ve followed in my fandom and really enjoyed have made really hurtful posts about how pansexuality is biphobic and just for people wanting attention. I’ve unfollowed and blocked those blogs but it still hurt to do so as I’d been following some of them for years. Honestly, it’s really been eating at me. Lately it’s gotten to the point where I don’t even really tell people I’m pan because I’m afraid they’ll just say it’s not real, I’m making things up, etc. So, yeah, just thank you so much for all of this positivity, it’s really helped me regain a little confidence in myself and my sexuality 💕
hi! you’re so very welcome. i’m so happy the blog has helped you. we all deserve to be confident and proud in our sexualities. 💗💗
