✨ Destiel fic update ✨
okay so two things:
✨
first THING
three fics are nearing their next thousand-kudo milestone!!!! and i am thrilled!!!! lemme just list them real quick
.
Drop Anchor (42k words, NC-17 // 9 away from 2000 kudos!!!)
AU. A sailor and an enemy pirate are marooned on an island together, and while awaiting rescue they accidentally achieve domestic bliss.
Or:
Dean Winchester is lieutenant of the Royal Trading Ship Echelon. On a pleasantly sunny but particularly catastrophic day, he is marooned on an island somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with only one man for company. That man is Castiel, captain of the black-sailed Leviathan: a pirate, no less. Given the circumstances under which they are stranded, rescue seems unlikely, and it could be aeons before a ship even comes by. The two of them may as well make the most of their own private island, personal differences be damned.
.
Minty Fresh Kisses (7.9k,T // 14 kudos away from 2000!!!!)
Dean teaches a newly-human Castiel how to brush his teeth properly. Things don’t go according to plan – but for once, the unexpected development actually presents a more promising outcome.
.
Cowboys and Real Estate Angels (36.8k, NC-17 // 13 away from its first 1000 kudos!!)
Castiel crosses paths with the ever-charming Dean Winchester at a rodeo show in Texas, of all places. Dean’s singing days are long bygone, but his crowd-pleasing skills haven’t waned one iota. Unexpectedly, Castiel finds himself in Dean’s bedroom; they take and they give, and discover that sometimes strangers can find love like this, too. (And if a man’s faith can’t be put in God, it needs to go somewhere…)
.
AND LET ME TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE Y’ALL BY THE HANDS OR THE SHOULDERS OR THE SIDES OF YOUR FACE OR LIKE… YOUR AURAS, AND JUST BE OVERWHELMED WITH GRATITUDE WITH YOU
THANK
THANK VERY MUCH AND A LOT I AM VERY THANKFUL
like it’s one thing for a fic to have this many kudos ONCE, but for 34 out of 81 fics to have MORE THAN A THOUSAND KUDOS EACH, IF NOT TWO TO FOUR TIMES THAT is…… um… mind-warpingly astonishing to me? i’m constantly all “whoa” and “holy shit” when i pause writing new stuff to consider the old stuff, and i don’t think that reaction is stopping any time soon (and i hope it doesn’t tbh)
i hope all of you find things in your life that gives you this kinda :3 :3 :3 <3 <3 <3 !!!!!!!!!!! feeling, because it’s a good feeling
.
and the other THING
even more exciting maybe??? A NEW FIC IS COMING
THIS WEEKEND
i wanted to wait until the Cockles-palooza was over, but also offer something good ‘n wholesome ‘n comforting ‘n nice for when the season 13 finale inevitably destroys all our souls (but also readable for people who aren’t watching any more)
SO
Wee Little Love Child (10.6k)
After being magically de-aged, little Sammy is under the impression that Dean and Cas are his parents. He wants to know if they’re in love, but they can’t (or won’t) give a consistent answer. The thing is, they have to grant Sam’s greatest wish in order to reverse the curse, but they can only do that as a pair. What does Sam want most? For Dean and Cas express their true feelings. Aloud. To each other.
