HAPPILY EVER AFTER | EXPLICIT | WORDCOUNT: 31,363
Author: castielslostwings | Artist: Anyrei
Police Officer Dean Winchester’s younger brother Sam and his best friend Charlie Bradbury have had enough of watching him pine over his best friend, roommate, and partner on the force, Castiel. Especially when it’s so obvious to everyone but the two of them that the feeling is mutual. Subtle hints and encouragement just aren’t cutting it anymore. Now, it’s time to get drastic. It’s time… for Disney.

For this year’s Dean/Cas Pinefest, I had the absolute pleasure of collaborating with the amazing and kind @desiraelovesdestiel Thank you for your encouragement and your kind words <3
The fic that accompanies these illustrations is beautiful and you should go read it right now. Seriously, do yourself a favor and read it!!
The art was made using different mediums, including pencils, ink, watercolors, and Photoshop (click on the images for higher resolution!)
Here is my art for the Dean/Cas Pinfest 2019 fic Lightning in a Bottle, written by the lovely Bumocusal! This was my second fic for this particular challenge, and I wasn’t originally going to do a second one, but I finished the art for my first fic early. I then got the notice that pinch hitters were needed for two stories and decided to jump in and help as I had the extra time. I’m glad I did because the story was good and I particularly love Dean and Cas’ first meeting. Bumocusal has been great to work with, even with Google trying to sabotage everything and hiding my emails lol I have to say that I have really enjoyed seeing the story evolve from the first version to the most recent, and I think many of you will enjoy it so do please give it a read!

Artworks for @anastiel 's lovely Philotimo (AO3), @deancaspinefest 2019.
"When one of his first hunts after becoming human again ends in injury, Castiel is faced with the helplessness of his mortality. Through it all Dean is a constant presence at his side, ever the attentive caregiver, which only serves to increase the tension growing between them."
The men of Queer Eye have spent two seasons helping people find their confidence, their best selves, and most importantly, their truths.
They’re very good at what they do.
Meet the Fab Five’s newest hero: Castiel Novak, game and toy maker, nominated by Dean Winchester, his best friend and roommate. Dean’s plea is simple, help Castiel prepare for the opportunity of a lifetime, a chance at his dream job.
An easy assignment, a cake walk even, until the Fab Five find out things even Dean doesn’t know.
