Through the Lace
Destiel office romance AU ft. desperation kink/watersports and a developed relationship. bottom!Dean, virgin!Cas (check AO3 for full tags and warnings!!!!)
☆
Every weekday for going on two years now, Castiel had waited in the FBI office block’s foyer for Dean to arrive. He passed security, then sat on a bench outside the elevators, wearing his flasher coat, his hair a mess, his tie backwards, his hands curled around a tatty paperback novel, his torso craned down over the book.
Dean would sweep past in his ironed shirt and fresh cologne, putting his FBI badge back in his pocket as he headed to the elevator.
And then Castiel would join him, riding up to the sixteenth floor at his side.
It would’ve been a nice gesture, if it weren’t for the fact they weren’t friends. They barely even talked on their rides. They mentioned the weather, or ongoing work projects. Castiel twice wished Dean a happy birthday, and Dean occasionally pointed out to Castiel that he’d missed a patch while shaving, but that was about it.
Well, they worked together. They worked together a lot. They worked in the same small department, attended the same meetings, took slices of the same cake at Christmas. They both drank from the same water cooler by Castiel’s desk, and they both held and cooed at Jenna Nickerson’s baby when she came back from maternity leave. But that wasn’t friendship. That was… camaraderie. Friendly banter. They were acquaintances, not friends.
Yet, for whatever reason, Castiel continued to insist on only riding the elevator once Dean had arrived. Like he was his bodyguard, or something. Or like they were BFFs. Or like Cas was a very obvious stalker and Dean was his intelligent, attractive target – who admittedly found the attention flattering, even if it did come from a weirdo in a too-big coat and three-day stubble.
Dean never asked Castiel to stop, but also never asked why he joined him in the first place. He just let it happen, happy to believe Cas found him hot, or wanted other people in the office to think they were friends.
The latter was more likely, to be fair. Castiel didn’t really have… friends. He was nice, sure – he’d never offended anyone on purpose unless they started it, he just squinted a lot, and apologised if he found he’d been mistaken – but he didn’t seem to socialise outside of work. If he was ever handed a beer, he stood by a wall and picked at the label until it was time to leave.
Dean thought they’d make an unlikely pair, should they ever become friends. He himself made an effort to come into work looking sharp, whereas Castiel seemed to roll in and out of bed the same way.
Which is why it was strange – nay, alarming – when Dean boarded the empty elevator and a total stranger boarded with him.
Dean stared.
It took him a second to realise it was Castiel. Blue eyes, yes. Dark hair, yes. But it was cut neatly at the sides, a little froofy on the top. His stubble was short but not absent; his skin was bright, his tie was the right way around, and – Dean looked down – he was wearing new, shiny shoes.

Hey, do you sometimes leave asks unanswered? I've sent you stuff with headcanons/fic stuff and I wanted to make sure I haven't creeped you out or something. One was a while back w/ smth about Gilmore Girls and the other was not too long ago about Dean/Cas ultrasound fic joking about a theme for part 2?
i tired, and i sorry
oh shit this message has been in my inbox 12 days szfjsgd sORRY
i read everything in my /ask inbox (but apparently i’ve started missing things now), but if you sent it to the chatbox inbox, then there’s a 99.99% chance i haven’t seen it, bc i don’t open that bc there’s too many people and i lose messages once i open them and i soooo rarely reply
but no it’s really hard to creep me out
if i don’t reply just assume my response is “ok thank u *thumbs up*”
but actually since you mentioned it, your ask:
Anonymous said: (23 days ago) Also omg, I completely forgot. I just saw the “kink that must not be named” ask, lol-ed and remembered a big existential question I had after reading this Band of 200 Kinksters we’re discussing here. You know how old-timey ultrasound for women’s reproductive- was performed with full bladder? I’m not 100% on my anatomy, but I wonder if it’d be at all possible to see the *action* through the male belly like that. Cough-part-two-cough. Love you always. Muah! ♥
0% chance i’ll write that, that is definitely the sort of thing that made people avoid Let’s Play Doctors when they thought it was that (and it wasn’t). and it also makes me v uncomfy too tbh. i’m not offended by you asking, i just wouldn’t feel comfortable writing that
but i swear once i feel better i’m gonna post my 18k watersports au fic “through the lace” ndsjsd i’m so sorry everything is so delayed
dcbb betaing??
hello I am in need of one (1) beta for my 90k NC-17 Dean/Cas fic Duck Duck Boots
EDIT: POSITION FILLED!!!! thank u
preferably someone I already know, or who has, at some point, commented on one of my fics, and is familiar with the sort of thing I write. ideally someone with a good amount of fic-betaing experience. (not someone who will read the whole thing and say “yup, it’s perfect”. I love those people but that’s not what I’m looking for here~)
posting date is November 28th, but I need the first round of editing to be done before the end of October. I need someone who can read the fic over a few days, not spread over several weeks. (I work in google docs, and will give comment-only permissions.)
summary, pairings, and warnings under the cut (PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY, I need someone who won’t skip that particular sex scene with the kink that must not be named because it’s important to the narrative later!!)
Keep reading
I will love you longer than forever if you write more medical kink omg, it's a big favourite of mine and it's fairly lacking within the SPN fandom, so much so that I tend to read it with pairings i don't even ship just to read it aha
Anonymous said: i know this is a seeerious squick for many people but oh my god i loved you so much when you wrote some desperation kink into your fics (also in waw, sexual or not)… so if you ever write sth like that again you’ll definitely have a reader!!! wow i feel so dirty writing this im sorry
(in response to this)
eyyyyyy!!! good to know!!
i hope i can continue to satisfy you all! with a varied mixture of everything!!! kinky/non-kinky and sexual/non-sexual alike~ (e v e n t u a l l y because writing is a slow process jsfdf)
also i hereby encourage you to banish your dirty feeling, anon #2. you shouldn’t need to feel bad about your interests, y’know?~ you’re not alone, anyway.
