monday

Sunday was a miserable day weather-wise here in Western NY, pouring rain accompanied by windgusts that knocked over trees - those who watched the Eagles play the Bills would’ve seen the weather on TV.  A good thing for my recovery, as the storms kept me inside, dry, warm snuggled up with coffee watching the game.  The right hip/hamstring/groin/quad were all hurting, but on a nice day, I might’ve ventured out for a test run.  I really didn’t want to run, though, and the storm decided for me.  

After Sunday off, went out for an easy 8 mile test run tonight.  Everything felt better, some soreness but not pain - a big distinction.  I’m hoping to recover for an XC race this Sunday to help my club win the upstate NY club championship.  It’s looking hopeful, though my leg feels like it’s being held together with duct tape.

Can you have roots in more than one place? Little seeds of yourself left to grow Pieces of your heart left behind Growing and blooming amongst the ruins of your emotions What was once seemingly left behind A beautiful and haunting process A culmination of experiences A plethora of places & homes People, addicting and alluring Carrying with you pieces of all that you've ever left behind Coming together seamlessly and beautifully An intricate suture shaping all that you are A past melding with an ever changing present A new day dawning Painting the sky in a dream of colors New adventures that are yours for the taking Should you dare to take that first step New places Begging to be discovered And maybe you'll stay and maybe you won't But you'll have new roots, Planted and ready to leave in one more place during this life's journey So, I guess it is possible to have roots in more than one place Scattered, beautifully scattered

IT’S FINALLY TIME! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Pieced Together

Sequel to A Broken World

Collaboration with @deanmon69

CHAPTER ONE POSTED- LINK HERE

Summary: Dean's equally exciting and terrifying news are forced to take a backseat for Castiel as he struggles to find the Omega ring for which his Omega's abuser was recruiting. While Cas is away, Dean grows closer to Eileen- also expecting her first pup- and her Alpha mate, Sam, which gives him insight into his foggy past and a glimpse into his future.

The increasing time apart proves difficult for both Dean and Castiel, leading way to feelings of inadequacy for Dean and discomfort in his rapidly changing body. Meanwhile, Cas fears that spending so much time in his wolf form while searching for the imprisoned Omegas will drain away his humanity...and ultimately lose him his mate.

Posting schedule will not be the typical once a week, but instead whenever I find the time to edit and complete each chapter. I will try to get at least one chapter posted a week, but there may be weeks that I’m able to post multiple chapters. Stronger than Words is now complete and will continue to post once a week on Thursdays, and we’re now working on our next collaboration, which will remain a surprise for now. 

Leave us a comment on AO3, and feel free to send us an ask on here if you want to discuss chapter one- or anything else, for that matter! Thanks for supporting us and fueling us to write our little hearts out!

Summary: Dean’s equally exciting and terrifying news are forced to take a backseat for Castiel as he struggles to find the Omega ring for which his Omega’s abuser was recruiting. While Cas is away, Dean grows closer to Eileen- also expecting her first pup- and her Alpha mate, Sam, which gives him insight into his foggy past and a glimpse into his future.

The increasing time apart proves difficult for both Dean and Castiel, leading way to feelings of inadequacy for Dean and discomfort in his rapidly changing body. Meanwhile, Cas fears that spending so much time in his wolf form while searching for the imprisoned Omegas will drain away his humanity…and ultimately lose him his mate.

Sneak Peek- Chapter 1 (below the cut):

“You tossed and turned all night,” Cas argued, his free hand sliding down to rub gently over the small swell of Dean’s belly again, fingertips tracing the scars the adorned his waist. Cas had always insisted his scars were beautiful- because ‘they’re a part of him’, as he’d said- and now Cas seemed equally as drawn to Dean’s rapidly changing body. It wouldn’t be long before Dean would be huge, and stretch marks would likely litter whatever space wasn’t already occupied by scars, and his chest would swell and his ankles and he’d be utterly miserable, and Cas would probably still insist he was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen.

Dean shrugged. “I got a few hours.”

Cas sighed and halted his ministrations, letting his hand lay softly over Dean’s stomach. “I’m not asking you to lay in bed all day, Omega. I just want you to keep yourself healthy. You can try and sugar-coat all you want how little rest you’ve been getting, but these don’t lie.” He poked gently at one of the bags under Dean’s eye, raising an eyebrow. “They’re starting to get worse than mine.”

“Are not,” Dean grumbled, rubbing at his eyes. Cas just looked at him and Dean sighed. “Just...dunno. Can’t get comfortable. Too hot. Don’t wanna squish the pup-”

“You’re not going to squish the pup,” Cas said patiently. “Believe it or not, there’s plenty of padding between that fetus and the mattress.”

Dean blinked. “Are you calling me fat?”

Cas bit back a smile. “Not fat. Just...healthy. Finally.”

“Well it’s still too hot,” Dean said stubbornly.

“Do you want me to sleep on the futon?”

“No!” Dean said quickly, eyes widening. “Maybe, um...crack the window open at night.”

“What happens when it’s summer?”

Dean groaned and rubbed at his face. “Then I melt.”

“Doubtful.”

Dean huffed and pointedly looked away. Of course, Cas more than understood why Dean was so paranoid about this pregnancy, and he’d been doing everything in his power to help him feel more at ease. And similarly, Dean understood that Cas had his own issues about it, though he was a lot less vocal and probably didn’t talk about it as much as he should. He knew that Cas was still going to see Garth, like he’d always done, and in fact, Dean did notice that he’d been going with more regularity since he’d told him about the pregnancy. But when it came to talking to Dean about it, Cas was a very formal, all-facts mate, because his main concern always had been- and will continue to be- Dean. It worried Dean that he seemed to keep a lot of his own fears at bay just for his sake.

Although...their fears were very different. Dean was worried about losing the life inside him. Cas was worried about losing Dean.
