Okay, so some time ago, I found a reblog of the fic you made (the 7 world wonders and Cas's ass) and then I Discovered I wasn't following you like wtf??? Tumblr unfollowed me if you >:( anyway, I love your writing, and wanted to ask: how do you write fluff? I can write only angst :(
Haha, well I don’t know how good of advice I can give on this, but I can try!
Generally, if I’m writing angst, it’s because I have a very specific idea that I came up with and direction that I want to go for a fic that I think could tear some hearts out. This usually comes before lots of evil villain laughter and hand clapping (as I’m sure you know).
Fluff usually doesn’t start out so specific for me? Fluff ideas seem to come to me a lot more generally and vague and I usually start writing them before I really figure out how they’re going to end, but I know the genre I want.
Angst: Oooo what if I did a fic about Dean moving into a haunted flower shop and finds ghost!Cas who doesn’t know why he’s still stuck there and they end up bonding until Dean finds a way to release him and he has to decide if he wants to help him or not and they have to have a sad farewell NICE YES LETS DO IT
Fluff: I definitely feel like I want to do some sort of high school au where Dean’s getting his wisdom teeth out and is high on pain meds. Not really sure where I’m going with it but I know Cas will help him out and there will probably secret confessions??? idk but it will definitely end happy
The only real rule to fluff (I think) is that it ends happy! Maybe they kiss! Maybe they don’t, but they hold hands! Fill it with flirting and blushing! Fill it with awkward but cute moments! Give them a miscommunication that eventually leads to a love confession! Give them a reason to secretly pine for each other! Maybe they were actually dating the whole time??
Make it disgustingly sweet and you’ve got yourself a fluff fic.
