Written for @msmarvelouswinchester who was the 10th participant for my Flash Fiction Challenge 3. This sparked 2 pieces actually, because I love a witch!Reader. One: drama; the other: rom-com. Hope you like it!
Song Prompt: Dark Horse by Katy Perry
Warnings: Angst-ish. Lucifer. Allusion to self-sacrifice.
The flash of lightning illuminated the surprise on his face.
Winds blew through the windows.
Shards of glass rained down.
You couldn’t hold his gaze for long, knowing that the surprise would be brief – betrayal chasing it away as he would second-guess everything about you. So, you directed your command to Sam:
“Get out of here!”
Lucifer groaned against your binds, the glass leaving bloody scratches against his exposed face.
Another clap and roar of thunder.
Tears seeped at the corners of your eyes; your boots stressed against concrete.
Hi I'm Chan, 19, from India, a tired college student who recently discovered her passion for writing. I've been in the Supernatural fandom for five years now but only started to read and write fanfiction since last year to cope with quarantine. I'm a complete Dean girl but do enjoy some Sam once in a while!
I'm ridiculously chatty and love meeting with new people so feel free to message me anytime!
Blog Recommendation: @bccky
Chan is a wonderful writer and friend. She was one of the first people I met in the spn fandom and she has been there through all my rants and patiently hears all my shit and corrects my grammar lol 😂

Sai has done a wonderful job with this series! The emotions, the angst buildup, the suspense is enough to keep us on our toes and it makes me feel all the feels!

The way this fic series was so sinful yet amazing. I loved reading this so much! And what makes this my most favourite story is the way Alex portrays Danneel’s character. The end was definitely not what I had expected but it definitely made me fall in love with her writing more!

I had sworn I won't take part in another challenge (I still need to work on your last challenge) but you had me at angst. Every single prompt is so heartbreaking and finally I decided with the help of a friend to go with #36 - Was it too much to ask for just a part of what I gave you back? Why was I so hard to love?
Angst is my favourite genre! I can't wait to write for this, I already have some ideas!
Oooops! At least you’ve got a year to post it! Ahaha
Love your pick! Can’t wait to read it!!
I can’t believe this blog - that I set up with 0 intentions of ever actually using - is now 3 years old. Where has the time gone? My baby is
Congratulations on your huge follower milestone! I would love to be a part of this celebration so I'm gonna write for Dean Winchester and I choose number 10 for this!💕

Let me know if you want to spin again to get a different trope. ;)
Hey Alex! First of all, a bit of checking in - How are you? Hope you're doing good, hun❤️ I miss you here on Tumblr and may or may not have kinda squealed in delight when I saw your post about drabble requests!
So here is my gif request -
Hey my love, I miss your face! I've been barrelling ahead most days, they say you can sleep when you are dead, right? Anywho, thanks for the gif, I hope you enjoy!

The soft beeping of the vitals monitor behind her head was the first noise she registered as the heavy pain medication began to ebb from her system. Her eyelids felt heavy, their long lashes brushing across her cheeks in small flutters as she fought to open them. Y/n was greeted by the harsh light of the sterile hospital room, the stark difference causing her to grimace away.
“Hey, hey, you’re okay,” Dean’s soft words met her ears before she felt his hand brush over her hair. The woman followed the sound, finding the eldest Winchester in a small chair pulled right against the side of her bed.
“Dean?” With the medication still weaning from her blood, everything still seemed hazy. The memories of how she landed in this place felt distant as if they were a tree that sat far on the horizon from where you are melting in under a blistering southern sun.
“Yeah, I’m right here.”
“I’m sorry,” the broken woman could see the dark circles that were prominent under his evergreen iris and the thick stubble that adorn his strong jaw. He looked older, he looked... broken, and she couldn’t help but feel responsible for making him worry about her.
“There is nothing to apologize for, sweetheart. If anything, it’s me that should be apologizing,” Dean shushed, his usual velvet voice hoarse from what she assumed were tears. “I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you.”
“It is not your job to protect me,” Y/n sighed, having seen this outcome from a mile away. “You are not to blame for any of this.” But it wasn’t like the Winchester to let go so easily, her words causing his eyes to roll away like a dismissive shrug. His jaw tightened, the muscle hard beneath the skin of his cheek as his tongue rolled over the tips of his teeth, holding back his objection.
“I promised that I would never let anything happen to you, and look at where you are now!” he practically roared, the intensity of his outburst causing the woman next to him to flinch.
“You and I both know that is a promise you would never be able to keep, not with the lives we live.” Her voice remained steady, though a touch softer this time to show the hunter that she meant every word.
“There is nothing more important to me than your safety,” he looked back at the woman, his fingers gripping hers a little bit tighter now. Y/n reached out with her free hand, running her palm across his cheek, allowing the usually all bravado man to nuzzle into her touch.
“I know, and that in of itself tells me that this could never be your fault. Dean, you always give so much of yourself to other people, no matter what it means for yourself. So if I’ve landed myself in a hospital bed with so much pain I can’t even pinpoint where it is coming from, I will know you did your best and everything else is on me.”
“Sweetheart-”
“Uhuh, it’s over.” Dean nodded, the edges of his eyes now shining in the fluorescent lighting of the room. He turned his head, placing his soft plush lips against her palm before repeating the kiss against her knuckles.
Jen, your story, Burning At Both Ends, was absolutely amazing❤️ I really needed this fic, honestly. Growing up as an introvert is no fun. There will always be some people who will outshine you. You work yourself to the ground to achieve that level of perfection but it's never enough. Thankfully, Jensen was there to help the reader. Jensen's lines and characterisation were effortlessly beautiful. Thank you for writing this!
Hi Chan!
Thank you!! 💜💜 Being an introvert has its pros and cons. That is definitely one of the cons and it’s not fun being that one that fades into the background when we want to be the main character just this once. You work and you work and you work harder, hoping that it’ll bring you up to this point where you finally feel like you’re getting somewhere, only to find that they’ve lapped you in the race. It’s a never ending cycle it seems. Just know that what you do is good enough, even if your head tries to convince you otherwise. 💜Thank you for the love, hun!! Thank you for reading! I hope you have an awesome weekend!
