How much of your fic do you discover while drafting versus before drafting?
I usually have the beginning third and the last scene in my head and then let the characters show me how to get there. Sometimes I use a bullet outline, but I toss it as often as I use it.
How about you? Your stories are always so well coiled together.
I don't think I knew you were a published author! That's so cool. Would love to know what you've written if you want to share, but would also love to know what it's been like doing fanfiction after that.
Yeah, I split with my publisher a while ago and have been super disillusioned so for now I just have fun word vomiting gay porn :)
If you get this, answer with 3 random facts about yourself and send this to the last 7 people in your notifs! Letâs get to know each other better! (Anon or not, it doesnât matter)

I got tagged by @bloopitynoot, so let's go!
last song: According to Spotify it was "Woman" by Kesha Featuring The Dap-Kings Horns.
favorite color: Lavender or Lilac.
currently watching: I only have two episodes left of Wu Xie's Private Notes/Time Raiders 2025! I'd watch them if I had a bit more time to myself. My Mom and Sister are watching reruns of Kitchen Nightmares and Hotel Hell on the shared TV, so I am too.
currently reading: I'm on Vol. 4 of Heaven Official's Blessing/Tian Guan Ci Fu. I've kind of gotten a little bit spoiled for what happens with He Xuan, Shi Qingxuan, and Shi Wudu. I don't know (or understand) too many of the details and have no idea what Hualian is supposed to be doing while all of this is going on (other than making out as indicated by the cover), so don't give me any more spoilers! I want to be surprised!
For fics, right now I'm reading this Xicheng mpreg! fic (don't judge me) and this Banana Fish fic that is just breaking my heart.
current obsession: Napping. No, seriously, I've spent two days in bed non-stop napping. I've had a migraine and stomach upset. Also been using it to avoid interacting with people I don't want to, so that's probably healthy.
currently working on: Three fics. One has been outlined, and I'm currently writing the second chapter. One, I'm in the process of outlining. One, I've just been saying "fuck outlining" and riding with the vibes. Although I'm probably going to have to make an outline for that one soon, because I haven't really figured out my end goal.

Read the Fic See the Art
Words: 70,379 Rating: Explicit
Summary: Dean runs a black-market modification clinic in the shadow of Malak Corp, stitching mods into bone and breaking the law every night to keep his dying brother alive.
Castiel is one of Malakâs top agents hunting men like Dean. Instead of turning him in, heâs been trusting him with nerve, blood, and more. When Cas starts talking about replacing his impossible blue eyes, it twists Deanâs gut. What started as business has turned into something neither of them can have.
When Malak makes a move, and Dean is thrown into a situation that could ruin everything, Dean finally has to decide how much more heâs willing to sacrifice.

And behold some of the awesome art! This one is my personal favorite. There are three characters in this shot, can you find them all?
Coming soon for the @destielaureversebb: âSorrow's in the MarrowâÂ
Author:Â ValandraWrites / @valandrawrites Artist: @envydean
Rating:Â Explicit Archive warnings:Â Graphic depictions of violence Length:Â 45,000Â words Tags:Â Â Enemies to Friends to Lovers, Cyberpunk, Steampunk, Surgeon Dean Winchester, Dangerous Castiel (Supernatural) Relationships:Â Dean/Castiel
Summary:Â Â
Illegal implants and back-alley deals keep Dean alive. Every night, he cuts into bodies, weaving mech into bone, siphoning biomatter while his patients sleep. Itâs worth it if Sam wakes breathing. But his time is running short as he flirts with the law, hunting a cure.
Castiel is the enemy. Malak Corpâs agent, who vanishes men like Dean, yet he lies bare on Deanâs surgical table, trusting him with bone, nerve, and blood. When Cas starts talking about replacing his impossible blue eyes, it twists Deanâs gut, scraping raw.
The risk is insane, but letting Cas go? Not an option.
Excerpt:Â
When the vendor handed over the skewers wrapped in foil and wax paper, Cas paid without looking at the number that flashed briefly on the chipped screen. He passed one to Dean.
âAlright,â Dean said, peeling back the foil. âIâll pay you back for mine.â
Cas lifted his own skewer. âYouâre welcome to try. This is my treat.â
Dean frowned and took a bite.
The meat was smoky and blistered at the edges, tender inside, soaked through with spice and heat and something sweet that cut through the grease. He made a sound he absolutely did not mean to make out loud. At least not in public.
Cas stilled, his eyes on Deanâs mouth as he chewed. âGood?â
Dean swallowed, then licked his lips. He clocked how Casâ eyes followed his tongue, how he leaned forward slightly, eyes sharp, breath hot. âDelicious,âÂ
Cas breathed, eyes moving up over Deanâs jaw and cheek with fierce eyes.
âCastiel,â Dean sputtered, ears flaring hot.
He looked down, a pink flush spread across his cheeks. Being gay wasn't outlawed like it had been in the old cities, but it wasn't exactly common. He'd never been sure about Castiel. The man didn't give much away.
This felt different
They ate as they walked around the market, and fell into an easy, companionable rhythm, the city roaring and whispering around them. Dean hadnât realized how tightly wound heâd been until the tension started bleeding out of him.
âThis is dirty pool,â he told Cas. âYou canât just feed people like this.â
Cas glanced at him sideways. âIs that what you feel right now? Manipulated?â
ââŠMaybe I just donât know what you want, and that makes me nervous,â he admitted.
âMaybe I donât want anything. I just want exactly what Iâve said.âÂ
Dean frowned. âEveryone wants something, Cas.â

2025 Fic Recs in Review - PART 2
I did the first half of the year in June, so here's the second half. This is not in any order and is not comprehensive. I've read way too amazing fics this year to possibly fit them all in one post. There were tons of kickass bangs, which I won't list because I know I'll forget some, and really great WIPs to follow; I've been super spoiled.
Comment at the end and let me know if you read any of these and what you thought, and if you have recommendations for ones I should check out!
An unPractical Guide to Angel Care by Xev3n @xev3n
Deanâs always wanted a supernatural companion. Something strange and maybe a little dangerous - the kind of pet that would make people stop and stare. Now that heâs finally settled into a place of his own, it feels like the right time, but the supernatural creature he ends up taking home isnât what he imagined.
Hidden in the back of the emporium, caged and collared, is an angel with dirt-matted feathers, half-healed bruises, and eyes that burn cold when they finally meet Deanâs. Dean knows heâs in no way prepared for this, but he also knows he canât just leave him there.
ex nihilo by Duckyboos **NOTE - this is a True Blood Fusion but isn't tagged
Dean Winchester is nothing special. Heâs the kind of guy who spends his days and nights working multiple shitty jobs in Nowhere, Kansas. For him, the supernatural isnât extraordinary either â it's just another part of everyday existence, like taxes and Madge Carriganâs homophobia. All except angels, that is â they're rare and powerful and dangerous as fuck.
Which is why it's a monumental inconvenience when a devastatingly handsome and mysterious angel walks into the bar where Dean works. Suddenly, Dean's life is a bizarre interspecies romance novel â all stolen glances, intense conversations, casual murder, and a dizzying, fast-track fall into love. In fact, Castiel is everything Dean never knew he wanted, right down to the scary, otherworldly perfection.
All is not what it seems, however, as when Dean finally gets a peek behind the heavenly curtain, he discovers Cas has a secret that's not merely a lie, but a stunning, earth-shaking betrayal that threatens to destroy everything Dean just started to believe in.
The Android by WhoIPretended2Be @whoipretended2b
Dean Winchester fixes things. Keeps his head down. Follows orders, mostly. Doesnât ask questions. He canât afford to, not with a father watching his every move, a brother heâs desperate to protect, and a past sealed behind a NDA.
So when a repair job sends him to a brothel on the edge of town, he tells himself itâs just work. Just another job.
But the android heâs sent to fix doesnât behave like the others. It looks at him too long. Hesitates before it speaks. And when it touches him, Dean forgets that machines arenât supposed to feel.
He knows better than to get involved. He does it anyway.
Now heâs tangled in something bigger. Heâll have to decide if being human is about what youâre made of or the choices you make.
A Cave full of Shadows by tanis-in-a-trenchcoat (TanisVs) @tanis-in-a-trenchcoat
Dean has burned Cas' body and that makes his death definite. The only thing left for him to do is to drown himself in alcohol and hunting, a pale echo of his father. So when Sam finds the strange case of a town that no one seems to be able to get out of, Dean goes with him to investigate with only white noise in his head.
But something strange happens when Dean crosses the town's municipal boundary without realizing it. He suddenly finds himself living a life that isn't technically his own but feels like it's his: he's survived the Hunt, has a house, a white picket fence, and an happy apple pie on the windowsill.
And most importantly.
Cas is alive.Â
Tinkerbell who? by cheesecakekiss @cheesecakekiss
Dean's pretty hot shit at the whole Fae thing, if he does say so himself.
Right up until he meets a human so polite, so completely and utterly unable to defend against anything supernatural that he finds himself giving the guy ADVICE.
Did this Castiel seriously just offer his entire goddamn name on a plate?
Colors of Paradise by HazelBite @hazel0bite
Itâs summer 1978. Dean Winchester is twenty-three and fresh out of prison, ready to establish a life heâd never gotten a chance to start. He arrives in Copper Creek, Wisconsin, hoping to reconnect with his brother Sam after five years apart. He soon meets a mysterious man who lives alone in the woods and has his own secrets to hide. Neither set out to befriend the other but it happens anyway, almost without them realizing it.
Inspired by âThe Spitfire Grillâ, this is the story of two damaged men, each with a troubled past, who are trying to figure out how to start over. But they wonât have to do it alone. Not only do they now have each other, but they have the close-knit community of Copper Creek and a little diner called The Spitfire Grill.
Dark Inspirations by entropic_saudade
Dean Winchester put a lot on the line when he decided to quit working in his father's auto shop and pursue a degree in creative writing: his familyâs respect, his future, money, time. If he doesnât impress his advisor with a solid thesis idea soon, heâs screwed. It doesnât help that heâs outperformed by his cliquey peers from more privileged backgrounds.
When one of said peers invites him to an underground workshop, he discovers that the secret to their success lies not in their own merit, but in the entities they summon to work through them. Invoking the muses is a tradition going back to the Ancient Greeks, they argue. Dean is skeptical, but after his first night of offering himself up as a medium, heâs hooked. He lets himself be subject to various influences, each darker than the one before, reveling in the work they make together. Thereâs no going backânot even when a particularly bloodthirsty demon named Alastair latches onto him, wanting to be his personal mentor.
Until one night, when Dean becomes host to something no one in the group has ever been possessed by before: an angel of the Lord, who warns them to stop before they lose themselves to muses much worse than Alastair.
Subduction by SomethingBlue42 @bowlegsandbiceps
No dwelling, no matter how fortified, stays neutral forever. Time seeps in. It settles. Carves intention into stone, affection into wiring, resentment into the walls themselves. The Bunker had no name, no face, no heart - until it was asked to love. And it loved them terribly.Â
After Dean is paralyzed and broken, The Bunker tenderly stitches their lives back together - resurrecting Cas, healing wounds, holding them close - until talk of leaving awakens something possessive, warping reality, weaponizing love, and turning their sanctuary into a cage they may never escape.
Walk A Broken Line by cheesecakekiss @cheesecakekiss
Kinda How to Train Your Dragon meets Monsters University. If, you know, there was more Gay Stuff.
Welcome to Prospero College! A safe haven for Monsters to further their education!
Dean's a thoroughly reluctant undercover hunter, tasked with bringing back info or bodies, whichever comes first. Should be easy, right?
A story about our actions, our nature, and the distance between the two.
Dean knows what he is.
A Dragon.
He has a Dragon across the hall from him, possibly one of the last fucking ones in existence. And he just pissed it off so badly he doubts itâll even look at him again.
His dad was going to kill him.
Lycan Soldiers by Cheerful_Shinigami @cheerfulripley
Based on Love, Death,+ Robots 1.10 Shapeshifters
Sergeants Castiel Novak and Dean Winchester are part of the new 300th Lycan-only military company. Theyâre a bonded pair, but Winchester can still be a pain in Castielâs side. Things change, however, when a routine mission goes horribly wrong, and they realize that they are not the only ones in the desert packing claws and fangs.
We Are by FriendofCarlotta @friendofcarlotta
1642. 1947. 1351. England. America. Germany.
In year after year, place after place, a man named Dean dies. He canât remember anything but the here and now â not even the man with blue eyes who always seems to find him just a little too late.
In year after year, place after place, a man named Castiel is locked in a race against time: to make his husband remember the truth or lose him forever.
BONUS REC, not from 2025 but too good not to mention, seriously, it's damn near perfect, go read it.
Valley of God by emmbrancsxx0, valleydean (emmbrancsxx0) @valleydean
Dean and Castiel have been dating for a little under a year, and things are going great - or, at least, that's what Dean thought. On the weekend before the summer solstice, Cas is hired to take a group of campers on an excursion through the Appalachian Trail in the Hundred-Mile Wilderness. Much to Cas' shock, Dean tags along. When the campers are attacked by mysterious forces in the forest, they end up in a peculiar town hidden under an eternal mist. Soon, members of their group start to go missing, and Dean can't shake the feeling that something led them to town for a purpose.

Now for something a little different. Older Dean/Younger Cas. Explicit content with no touching (what?) and just a huge scoop of sweetness. Check out The Weight of Watching.
Thank you @arlington-chamber-of-gay for the epic art. Perfectly captures the mood and moment.
Written for the @spnbangbang
Summary In the dim glow of Casa Cazzoâs dim lights, Castiel couldnât ignore the man at the end of the bar. Deanârugged, older, with calloused hands and steady green eyesâwas nothing like the usual crowd. Where others peacocked in their search for a man to spend the night with, Dean simply watched, his quiet intensity enigmatic and inviting. When Dean finally spoke, his voice was low and unguarded: âI like to watch.â

Summary In the dim glow of Casa Cazzoâs dim lights, Castiel couldnât ignore the man at the end of the bar. Deanârugged, older, with calloused hands and steady green eyesâwas nothing like the usual crowd. Where others peacocked in their search for a man to spend the night with, Dean simply watched, his quiet intensity enigmatic and inviting. When Dean finally spoke, his voice was low and unguarded: âI like to watch.â
Excerpt âCas,â he began, the word drawn out like a plea. âYouâve got no idea what you do to me, just standing there. I been watching you so many nights. I wanna know everything about you.â
âTell me,â Castiel said before thinking better of it. The words felt like a risk, but they rolled out of him as though drawn by gravity. He didnât want to guess. He wanted to know.
Deanâs breath hitched, and for a moment, he didnât answer. Then, his voice dropped low, rich with unspoken hunger. âYouâre⊠different. Everything about you. The way you move, the way you look at me, like Iâm the only thing in the room. It makes me feel like I donât know, like Iâm 14 again with my first crush, and I donât know what to do with myself.â
Castielâs chest tightened, his fingers itched to reach out, to touch, to reassure, but he was afraid the snowball would start an avalanche. âI donât think you realize what you do to me, either,â he admitted, his voice quieter than he intended.
Dean finished his water, setting it down silently on the counter, and stepped closer. He didnât crowd Cas or try to box him in, just slid into his space, a shy smile on his face. âI liked the hand holding,â he said sweetly.
Cas blinked back emotions he didnât expect to feel at such a simple admission.
âHow would you feel about a kiss?â Deanâs voice was sincere, not seductive or posturing like most men, just a question.
âNervous,â Cas admitted. âMaybe like the other night?â
âDonât gotta,â Deanâs head dipped, catching Castielâs eyes. âI mean it, man. Donât do shit just because you think I want you to. I just wanna be here. Iâm askinâ so I donât make you uncomfortable. Donât want you to decide I ainât worth keepinâ around. Would hate for that to happen cause you feel like Iâm demandinâ something. We donât gotta do nothinâ.â
âBut you want to watch,â Cas smirked as an irrepressible shudder went through Deanâs body, and his eyes closed at the mention of it.
âYeah.â His voice dropped, scratchy and strained. âBut I can live without it. Iâve been happy watchinâ you at the bar, think Iâd be happy watchinâ you fold laundry.â

Summary:
From the moment Dean Winchester arrived at Castielâs high school, beautiful and untouchable, Cas was obsessed. He watched from shadowed hallways, wanting something he knew he could never have. When Dean finally touched him, it was behind closed doorsâsecret and savage. But Castiel was willing to kneel for scraps of Deanâs affection.
This is not a love storyâit is a requiem.

Summary: When Dean's manager at the grocery store bakery dismisses his Pride-themed treat ideas as âperverse,â he quits. His queerness can only compromise so much.
He finds a position at Lavender Latte Cafe, a queer-friendly all-ages spot, where he meets Gadreel, the radiant, gender-fluid owner. His unapologetic self-acceptance inspires Dean to fully embrace his queerness.

Posting October 12th
Preview:
Dean had never even talked to him before, barely acknowledged he existed. All Cas had was the hope Dean didnât actively hate him. Unlike most popular boys, Dean had never slammed a shoulder into him in the hallways or kicked him in the stomach after punching him on the walk home from school. Heâd also never called Castiel a fa**ot the way his friends did. Â
Now, Castiel knew why.
Halfway through the second semester, Dean grabbed Castielâs arm after school and pulled him into an empty classroom. He stared, mouth dry, heart pounding. Confusion silenced him as his eyes locked onto Deanâs, desperate to decipher the mystery before him.
âDonât ever fucking tell anyone about this,â Dean hissed and then kissed him, pressing him hard against the wall like an assault.
The kiss was sloppy and frantic, Deanâs tongue pushing into Castielâs mouth before theyâd found a rhythm. He was absolutely okay with that. Dean slammed him against the wall when he tried to lean forward, take more, his hands gripping Castielâs hips like he was holding on to a cliff face, trying not to fall. Never letting their bodies touch.
Castiel scrambled to find his footing, reaching for Deanâs shoulders only to have him pull away, taking his down-turned lips with him, darkness in his eyes. The muscles in his jaw tensed, and fingers dug painfully into Casâ hips.Â
âI⊠Iâm sorry, I wonâtâŠâ
Soon, Dean had Casâ hands pinned above his head and a scowl on his face. Then he slowly leaned in and took Casâ bottom lip in his mouth and bit downâhard. Hard enough to make tears come to Castielâs eyes, but he didnât move or make a sound. He didnât struggle against Deanâs hands and just let him draw blood. It was his first communion.
----
The Y-cut begins just below the tip of your collarbone. I have forgone the required gloves so I can feel the smoothness of your skin, the pleasure of touching you. I etch my love into the flesh of your chest. My hands are steady as the scalpel slices through your outer layers, treating your flesh with the obeisance it deserves. I cut two smooth lines that meet at the sternum. No blood wells up in the cuts or bubbles over onto your flesh. Your heart no longer pumps.
I've never seen somebody so perfectly still as you. Iâve worked with the dead long enough to appreciate the differences, but I remained indifferent, unaffected. But youâve always been beautiful to me, striking. I could always find you in any crowd. Like this, you are an ethereal creature.Â
I cut a path down the center of your chest, past where your ribs used to rise and fall. They are motionless now, statuesque like a marble figure. I press deeper, purposeful, as I reach the soft rise of your stomach.Â
My incision reveals your raw beauty.Â
I reach within to hold your secrets in my hands, to know you as completely as one soul can know another.
