Love Him in His Sleep (Love Him Always) by almaasi

Summary: After Cas banishes Dean’s nightmares, Dean starts to have wet dreams… about being cuddled. When he wakes, he’s sticky and aroused - and he loves it. Oh, he loves it a lot. Castiel, meanwhile, is struggling with his own descent into the murky waters of human morality. How is he supposed to explore all these new lustful feelings if Dean insists on keeping him at arm’s length?
Comments: 10/10. This is awesome and amazing, and it basically has all the kinks I have. Basically what the summary says, Dean starts having nightly wet dreams of cuddling Cas, and he loves it. Cas finds out after a while, and it’s happy endings all around. I love awkward Sam in this. There’s somnophilia and wet dreams and it’s awesome.
so i totally typoed last week when i said my 32k Dean/Cas somnophilia/cuddling/wet dreams fic Love Him in His Sleep (Love Him Always) was 3 kudos away from THREE thousand, since i just noticed it passed TWO thousand
and what a magnificent two thousand that is
how do i even fathom how many that is?? IT’S A LOT. at least… twelve. more than my numerically-impaired brain can handle, clearly >u>
THANK YOU EVERYONE. this is so encouraging and EXCITING !!!! i am very very, very grateful for all the continued recognition and appreciation you guys keep giving me for my Destiel fics ♥♥♥
it’s 4am in New Zealand ✨ HAPPY NEW YEEEEARRRRR ✨
may 2018 be a year of health, love, and abundance for me, and everyone reading this~
so far it’s been pretty freaking rad, ‘cause I just-now realised my 3k Destiel fic Dean’s List is 7 kudos away from THREE THOUSAND???!!??!?!?!?! holymotherfuckingshitwhat thatsalottakudos whoa
Love Him in His Sleep (Love Him Always) is also just 3 kudos away from THREE THOUSAND
and it’s not as close, but Try-Something Tuesday is also only 70 kudos away from FOUR FLIPPING THOUSAND !??!?!
HNGNHNHHN THANK YOU EVERYONE THIS IS SO INCREDIBLE I LOVE YOU ALL ;u;
thank you for every comment, every message, every “put this in the inbox of someone special” chain message, every follow forever, every fic rec you put my stories on, every friend you told about my work, every issue we ever agreed on, or problem you corrected for me as a group. I owe so much of my success and visible personal accomplishment to all of you, and I genuinely, GENUINELY appreciate your support, from the very core of my being.

Fanfic Wednesday: Love Him in His Sleep (Love Him Always)
I found this by accident, and I loved that little review at the end. I wanna keep it, so I’m putting it on my tumblr blog ♥
yet another one of my Dean/Cas fics just hit 1,000 kudos on AO3.
oh!
The fic in question is Minty Fresh Kisses - an 8k ditty in which Dean teaches Cas to brush his teeth. Yeah, for real, I wrote a fic about that. 1,000 lovely people liked it. I am delighted.
And I missed it when it happened, but Love Him in His Sleep (Love Him Always) already bypassed 1,000 kudos and already has over 1,100. (Did I ever think anyone would enjoy a 32k fic with dreamwalking fluff and somnophilia as much as I do??? Nope.)
…I’m a tad dumbfounded here. With these two hitting quadruple digits, there are now eight fics of mine that have over 1,000 kudos. That is not only an incredible freaking privilege for me to witness, but it’s also REALLY FREAKING INCREDIBLE.
GUYS, YOU MAKE ME SO DARN HAPPY.
Thank you for your kudos and your appreciation and your comments and love and messages. I am humbled and honoured, and I love you all. Bless you and your little cotton socks.
[also, because I can: all my fics on AO3 arranged by number of kudos]
I swear I already answered this one… oh hey! yeah, about 3 months ago, when I answered Lettuce Share This Moment (Dean + salad) or Panic Kiss (Dean + panic attacks)
but my answer has wandered since then: right now I’d pick Understanding Your Body in Ten Easy Steps or Cowboys and Real Estate Angels or Love Him in His Sleep (Love Him Always) for completely arbitrary reasons. Mostly I’m feeling full of love these stories, and they’re some of the ones not yet blessed (blessed, I tell you) by someone’s glorious artistic talent.
thank you for asking, anon! I don’t know whether you intend to make art at all, but this message made me smile regardless~ c:
Thank you! I see you received the exact package of emotions I intended to put into that fic, so yay~ <3 <3 <3
(#0 u 0#) *blushes* thaaaaaank youuuu
I noticed! AO3 doesn’t send emails for bookmarks, but I do check the bookmark pages occasionally because sometimes people comment in their tags, or in their recs, and I love seeing everyone’s thoughts. I did laugh, seeing a wall of one person’s repeated favouriting. Heehee. Glad you enjoyed it! c:
this amazing fic by almaasi is the most beautiful thing I have ever read and I think it’s a compulsory reading for every dean!girl. I just cannot tell you how perfect it is
aww thank you so much!! *glomps back*
