An update! Two updates! #blessed

Two of my favorite fics that are WIPs just updated. And I am in the car on the way to my apartment to move (again) some stuff in preparation for a big move and I don’t have time to read. And I’m on mobile. But I got so excited I needed to post about it. So go check them out for me and give these authors some love!

@bomarlowe just updated Not About Angels.

@valinde just updated Consort.

You’re both wonderful. Never stop.

Bratishka: Little Brother by Valinde (Valyria)

Word Count: 33,177

Summary: Dean thinks he knows pretty much everything there is to know about his best friend Castiel Novak - he's a smart, gorgeous DA who probably lets Dean get away with more than he should to see the bad guy locked up - but it turns out Cas is hiding some dark family secrets.

Comments: 9/10. First off, it’s by valinde, so you know it’s gonna be good. Dean the cop and Cas the DA are best friends, but then one day Cas takes a surprise vacation without telling Dena. Dean is hurt and angsts a little, before discovering that Cas has been kidnapped by the Russian mafia, who happen to be his brother. It’s action-packed but also full of emotions. There’s also Dean taking care of hurt and injured Cas, and features a scene where Dean has to wash Cas due to Cas’s injured hands. It’s amazing, to say the least.

Been trying to get better at drawing on procreate and develop a style that works similarly to my normal one, so this is where I’ve gotten to so far!

Revealed by Valinde (Valyria)

Summary: When a ritual backfires and Dean ends up with wings, they reveal things that he'd much rather keep hidden. Prompt fill.

Comments: 10/10. I cannot believe I’ve never rec’d this before, but an ask made me realise it, so better late than never right? This is an awesome fic with awesome smut and just do yourself a favor and read it. There’s wing kink, which is a very real thing that I love, and there’s knotting cuz angel anatomy. Dean gets wings, wings proposition Cas, and Cas runs out of self control.

Grey by Valinde (Valyria)

Summary: In a world where people don't see in color until they find their true mate, the first thing Dean sees when he pulls himself out of his grave is the blue sky.When Castiel raised him from the Pit, he inadvertently claimed Dean as his mate.

Comments: 10/10. Oh dear god literally 29 chapters of pure angsty. It’s kinda a retelling of the show, with some major plot changes, but with Dean as Cas’ mate. Only Cas doesn’t know and Dean doesn’t tell him and there’s just so much angst. Dean’s body thinks he’s mated and he can see colours but Cas doesn’t know so he’s basically estranged so oh god so much angst. WARNINGS/SPOILERS: Cas helps Dean out with his heat in purgatory (really detached and emotionless and scarring) and Dean ends up pregnant. But he has a miscarriage. END OF SPOILERS. The ending is happy though, the author changes the plot of the later seasons quite significantly.
