i hadn’t checked my inbox in two weeks but i just did and i find this
at this point i’m double-triple-quadruple checking your blog and the links between your blog and your other blog and googling to make ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU’RE THE PERSON I THINK YOU ARE because this seems just so wildly unbelievable to me (in a good way)
like ARE YOU KIDDING ME
FRIEND I’VE FOLLOWED YOU ON EVERY BLOG YOU’VE EVER HAD WHEN YOU WERE @EUCLASE EXCEPT YOU KEEP CHANGING THEM AND DELETING THEM SO I PROBABLY MISSED SOME
I LOVE YOUR ART AND YOUR OPINIONS AND I WILL SUPPORT YOU FOREVER
when i wrote my first dean/cas fic Angelhawke and the dcbb was open to artists i came and asked you if you wanted to sign up to illustrate my fic because it was based on one of your favourite movies and your art was The Literal Best Ever but you said you were too busy and i was like “cool that’s understandable” BUT THEN FIVE YEARS LATER YOU’RE FANGIRLING???? over me following your inspiration/personal blog???
excuse me 1 sec i need to lie down and stare at the ceiling
omfg. i just went through my emails from 2012 and i …i kept a running email commentary to my friend as i freaked out about asking you???
hang on i gotta paste it here ‘cause it’s kind of hilarious
me:
email title: “so I had a revelation”
I googled “euclase ladyhawke” and even though she deleted the post, I found reblogs.
She does indeed like Ladyhawke
I’m shaking as I type this
Okay the revelation:
she does artwork
I do story
DCBB art signups start right after drafts are due
I was going to message her after it was published
but then I realised
she might be interested in illustrating
so
I was going to ask you right now if I should message her
and then I noticed how stupid a question that would be
because of course you’re going to say yes
So
I’m going to write a message now
and show you what I sent her
–
So, I’ve been informed that one of your favourite movies is Ladyhawke. And I know for a fact you love Destiel. This years’ Dean-Cas Big Bang is going to include the fic I’m writing. It’s called ‘Angelhawke’. It’s 400,000 words long. I know it’s forward of me, but, would you be interested in illustrating? I thought I should pounce on the opportunity to ask, because artist sign-ups are in a couple of days. (P.S. Your art is absolutely exquisite.)

(And then I realised that artist sign-ups are already open, and they actually /close/ in a couple of days - and apologies if I look like I’m pressuring you now. D:)

I don’t have time. :(
But oh my god, I’m so flattered. Thank you for thinking of me! It sounds wonderful. Maybe I can draw a little something independently at some point (provided there’s no risk of stomping on the work of the artist who claims your story, of course). My schedule is unpredictable, or I’d definitely consider it. <3

My reply:
Yes, I did think that might be the case :c But never fear, I look forward to anything even remotely scrappy you might endeavour to throw my way. Even blinking at it would make it better. I’ll let you know when it’s published <3 Thank you so much anyway! Don’t stop being awesome~
ANYWAY MY POINT IS I’VE LOVED YOU FOR A V LONG TIME AND I ACTUALLY HAD NO FREAKING IDEA YOU’D EVER READ A SINGLE ONE OF MY FICS UNTIL THIS EXACT MOMENT WHEN I JUST DISCOVERED YOU LEFT KUDOS ON A COUPLE OF THEM
and apparently feel like fangirling over me
holy shit
hi new friend
;u;
I CANNOT BELIEVE
I’M DYING LMAO
Oh my god I don’t know if I should be embarrassed or just… jumping around with joy. This is like fairytale level plot twist. You’ve been one of my favorite writers for a very long time. I think I must have just not realized who’d messaged me.
Holy shit did you just follow me? Oh my god I'm a weak kneed fangirl right now <3

i mean, this is doubly impressive since my presence here has been practically ghostly this past year or two, even more so the past couple of months
THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT, especially for my 80 well-loved Destiel fics, which people continue to read every day, even though i haven’t been healthy enough to post/promo very often.
i love you, unfathomable number of wonderful, special people. even the porn/spam/bot blogs, maybe?
but mostly i wish to honour the people who come back to look at this blog every day (there’s about 100 of you, hi there), or read every post, or like and reblog things, and send me messages (and are then SO PATIENT when i literally never reply)
also, an update: still working on a fic, but given the rate i’ve been writing (this ENTIRE MONTH and it’s 18k currently), it won’t be done until early April, and not posted until mid- or late April, health permitting. but i illustrated it!!! here’s a preview
it’s called The House That Wanted to Be a Garden and the main concept…. uh, besides the importance of believing in forest fairies? let’s call it “Dean accidentally moves in and Cas is totally okay with it”.
really looking forward to posting it and sharing it with some amazing Destiel, fairy, and garden-loving pals ♥
(please wish me good health and a good brain and a good internet connection so i can get it done asap!!!)
The teacher assigns a buddy to all the children in her first-grade class. Everyone writes their buddy a postcard, giving them a compliment. Dean is supposed to write something for Castiel, the mysterious autistic kid in the corner – but he doesn’t hand anything in. Does he have nothing to say? Or does he have too much to say?
p.S. will you Be my Boyfrend ?
In celebration of 1,000 lovely kudos on my fic A Postcard for Castiel, I decided to illustrate it! I love every single one of those teeny tiny “I like your fic” hugs. They definitely provide motivation to write more kid!fics and fics with autistic!Cas~ ♥
A postcard for Castiel is the most beautiful fic in existence! If you haven’t read it yet, GO! read it now! It is pure love! Beautiful rainbows and unicorns and all that is pretty in the world.. From @almaasi
I think this might be the best fic I’ve ever read.
@almaasi you genius, you were the one who inspired me to write kid!fics and made me realise how much I love doing so. And of course, this is my all time favourite fic by you, right next to Raising Hell in a Hotel. :D
Castiel is a bad influence on Dean. Okay, they’re only six years old – but when they join forces, they’re Mary Winchester’s idea of a parenting nightmare. In theory, Dean and Cas live in hotel rooms opposite each other. But in actuality, Castiel lives with Dean. Shares his clothes, his food, his bed. That sort of thing. Dean might like the colour pink more than society says he should, and Cas has the same problem with petty crime, but there’s one attribute they have in common: neither take well to being apart.
(also I’m on patreon now!! I’d love if you could check out the page, if you’d like to keep me writing~ or just follow me there without pledging, that’s cool too)
THE TIME HAS COME
THREE THOUSAND KUDOS FOR THIS TINY LIL FIC I WROTE 2.5 YEARS AGO
I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL INDIVIDUALLY AND PLACE GARLANDS OF ORIGAMI FLOWERS UPON YOU AND DANCE WITH YOU AROUND AN ABUNDANCE TREE MADE OF GLITTER, CRAFT GLUE, AND CARDBOARD
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR FIC RECS AND YOUR COMMENTS AND YOUR NICE MESSAGES
thank you for allowing me to make you happy for the time it takes you to read what i write.
i am so honoured that the things i think of become duplicated in neurons in brains all over the world. and it’s always gonna be slightly different because we all interpret stories in the way that best suits us individually. that’s so fucking special, y’know??? I LOVE YOU
omgomgomg my 36k cute-as-heck Dean/Cas fairy AUOur Garden Home is 8 kudos away from 1000!!!!! C’MON C’MON C’MON LET’S MAKE THEM PROUD LIL GARDEN FAIRIES
wooOOOO THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i’m so glad you guys made this happen before the end of the year ♥
thANK YOU for clicking on my fics. even more thanks to those of you who come back and read them more than once, inflating this number to a frankly ridiculous number of digits.
I am forever grateful. the level of appreciation and love I’ve gotten over the years has been enough that…. well, this is what I do now. writing fics is how live and breathe, and hidden within each one of those 1,000,027 clicks is the love of each of you. i love you too. thank you.
