natmoose: This is gonna sound weird, but I LOVE surveys so I can’t wait to read the fic but also to do the survey

no… no that sounds perfectly reasonable, i like surveys too!! i had a lot of fun making it =u= <3

i tried to make sure most of the questions are multiple-choice tickboxes and clicking rather than typing, because trying to think of actual answers is always my least favourite part of doing surveys >->

What We Ache For ♥ 93k · NC-17 · almaasi

Working as a prostitute (that’s ‘sex worker’ to the decent folks), Castiel has heard more than his fair share of odd requests. When he’s paid to spend a night with Dean Winchester (handsome, dork of all dorks, has a nice car… secretly a cop), the last thing Castiel expects to hear are the words “I wanna make love.” That’s the one thing he’s never done before – so Dean is going to show him how to do it. But then, barely a month after that night is over, Castiel finds himself in a difficult situation, and Dean is mistakenly summoned to help. They begin to share again: Dean’s apartment, the spare bed, their deepest secrets. Over time, with the support of Dean’s brother Sam, a mystery dog, and lots of cuddles, kisses, comfort, and tea, maybe Cas can finally be loved the way he deserves.

I had such an awful awful day today and seeing this fic… the thought of reading it tonight cheered me up so much.

And a mystery dog is involved? And cuddles?
I’m cry (and this time good tears)

natmoose asked:
(Idk if you recognize me I used to be lovemesomepie-andcake when I first came across you and you followed me which was absolutely a highlight of my life) I just wanted to say that I also didn't get an email notification for your new fic BUT now that I know, I will of course go off and read it. You were the first destiel author that I 'stalked' i.e. went through their entire page and read all their fics and followed on tumblr and so on. Your fics are a delight, and so floufy and so GOOD. (1/2)

I won’t ask you to not be discouraged because I don’t know what it feels like to be in your situation, BUT I can tell you that you will always have a fan right here with me. I don’t know if this will being you peace but I always look forward to your new fics like I look forward to new spn episodes (especially now with all the gay happening and the new brokeback mountain episode? I’m straying off my point here). Anyway, i love your fics and you seem like a really sweet and kind hearted person. ♡

i gotta say, i am SO RELIEVED it’s just an ao3 notification issue. like, we can work around that as a group. it’s not that i’m failing spectacularly or my audience doesn’t care any more!! THIS IS THE BEST POSSIBLE PROBLEM WE COULD HAVE!!! ;u;

“I always look forward to your new fics like I look forward to new spn episodes”

…that is THE DREAM. hell yes. thank you. this makes me so damn happy <3 <3 <3 <3

(and hello yes i recognise both urls instantly but i didn’t realise you were the same person!! i’m probably not going to remember that so apologies for future me not knowing)

for other people who didn’t get notifications:

I POSTED A 33K HALLOWEEN FIC (a story 100% worth your time)

AND ALSO A 4.6K FLUFF FIC (the absolute fluffiest imaginable)
