Ever feel a craving for a 12k babysitter!Dean/papa!Cas AU? Father Materialis positively full of fluff! Plus, Sam and Cas friendship! And grey-asexual Cas! Also featuring a 4-year-old Claire Novak as a force to be reckoned with. Sound like something you’d like? Read on AO3!
so apparently when I wasn’t looking, three more of my fics joined the 1k kudos club??? they’ll be right at home with the 25 other fics there holy shit holy shit what the genuine fuck
Cas accidentally cut himself while shaving. (Spoiler: He wasn’t shaving his face.)
The two of them had been through Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, and all the worst parts of Earth together, both in the past and future, and somehow, the here-and-now between them involved Dean standing there denying to himself that he was half-hard because Castiel was bleeding in his naughty place.
All Castiel needed was someone to babysit his troubled four-year-old niece while he went out to dinner with Sam. Honestly, after everything he’d heard about Sam’s older brother, Castiel wasn’t expecting Dean to be capable of handling the job. But not only is Dean highly competent, his skill with difficult children makes him appear downright charming. Improbable as it is, it’s starting to look as though both Castiel’s sanity and romantic life could potentially be salvaged by just one man.
as always, I am HONOURED, flabbergasted, and DELIGHTED. thank you for gifting me with the symbols of your love, dear readers. I am so very grateful. (also thanks to @envydean, whose Destiel Trope Collection is what led to a kudos surge among my stories recently)
p.s. I posted a reward thing on patreon today!! it’s a skipping-rope rhyme I kept around from the first Destiel fic I ever posted on AO3, Angelhawke. the photo includes rainbows and a favourite houseplant of mine. you can check it out here (if you’re a $1 patreon~)

Gave myself a new theme layout for February! I guess I got a little carried away after writing my fic Father Material. I call this one “Someone give these two some babies, dammit”. That is my current mood, and it will be my mood until I see results.
Your new fic is adorable!! Oh gosh. I usually don't like it when the romance kicks in so sudden and strong right from the start but in this case it seemed to work?! And Claire is just AWESOME, wow, I really fell for her. Now I want fanart of kid Clair giggling while watching Dean pose in that home-made tutu x3 (Also, SAM+CAS FRIENDSHIP. YESSS.) Thank you for being awesome♥
Heck yeah! I’m glad you liked it, anon. (I would probably summon a lot of bats with my squeal if I saw fanart of that. Oh lordy.)

reminder to anyone who’s interested: my fic Father Material (12k babysitter!Dean/papa!Cas AU) will be posted in about 11.5 hours. (10pm Kansas time, 5pm NZ time). watch this space!
tomorrow I’m gonna write fic about Dean and Cas sharing a jacuzzi, inspired by this. the google document has been created, and the fic has been named. it’s called Hot Tub with an Angel, because unless I give my fics really obvious titles I forget what they’re about (as was the case with Play Nice, Kids)
Father Material has been mostly beta’d! I’ll be at the hairdresser at what would usually be my posting time, so I may post the day after (Friday afternoon in NZ, Thursday night in the US)
the reason I’ll be at the hairdresser tomorrow: I shaved half my hair off last week, and it looked damn good until my mother tried to cut the back of it and now it’s like… half a hairstyle. there will be photos of all these hair awkward stages once I’m happy with it. I kinda wanna dye it turquoise too but I’ll let that idea brew for a while.
I finished writing Father Material! Babysitter!Dean is my favourite! Papa!Cas is the cause of my melting heart, and the antics of kid!Claire (age four, going on fifteen) are super fun to write.
Current length is 10,431 words. Tomorrow I’ll re-read what I have again, then pass it onto my swarm of friendly editing bees, and hopefully it could be posted sometime early (or late?) next week!
This fic is insufferably sweet. Does anyone remember when I used to write torture scenes for fun? …No, me neither.
It’s a papa!Cas and babysitter!Dean AU, in case anyone was wondering~ It’s entitled Father Material, because why not. I like using clichés turned into puns for my titles. (The punniness of it will become clear if you read the fic once it’s done.)
Also, I made a note to myself in the document margin, and I wanted to share it because it made me laugh: make sure you mention dessert later so the kiss doesn’t taste fishy
