My second bang pieces as an artist! I really wanted to do the clock, and I had an extra week, so this one got a banner. :P
Super proud of the shadows on the main pic.
The fic can be found here: Tourbillon Dreams, go read it and give KaylieMalinza some love!
Please PLEASE PLEEEASE go read! It’s so good and it’s long fic and it’s so full of good feelings and stabbing and h/c! I got to beta a little and I’m so excited to read the whole finished thing AND IT IS 40,402 WORDS LONG.
and that art is so hecking precious!? Oh my gosh!!!
in case y'all were wondering i will be emotionally intelligent dean truthing until i die. and even if he wasn't. that's ok
when people talk shit about him because they headcanon him as being a repressed queer guy. do you hear yourselves
"hahaha this guy was emotionally [and physically] neglected growing up and has never had stability or a community and he lives in an era/region that is deeply homophobic so he doesn't have the tools to understand his own emotions and he thinks he is STRAIGHT! 🤣" do you hear yourselves
that being said i do believe that he is a very sensitive person who knows himself very well and is often quite private because he doesn't have many people to confide in. until cas comes along, he doesn't have any friends. there's only so much that one wants to share with their family. and even then, he shares a lot with them. no hate, it's cool to explore stuff, but i really don't think you get him if you earnestly write him as a super repressed person that doesn't realize he's attracted to men or loves cas until hella late in the series or after it
like...y'all saw them confide in each other in s4. y'all saw them have fun together in s5. y'all saw dean mourn cas in s7. y'all saw him keep the coat. y'all saw him on his knees in the crypt in s8. y'all heard "i need you" and read "i love you." dean knows
There is this unspoken, assumed aspect that I notice a lot of people who’ve never had to spend a significant portion of their time somewhere rural or remote don’t really grasp;
The “I ain’t got time for this shit” attitude.
I’m not even sure if I’m explaining it properly? It’s not as abrasive as the above implies. Just that… there is an unspoken quality of doing or living in a way that makes you happy - you might as well do what you can, because you only have so many hours in a day-days in a year-years in a life, you don’t have time to sit on your hands just get out there ‘an get on with it. It’s never explicit of course - it’s just accepted without the need for explanation. That pair of old hermits up the road living off the second dirt access path five miles on the left just wanna be left alone and they sell their blackberry jam and apple butter in November to make a bit of extra cushion before the cold really sets down and that’s it. No questions asked it’s no one else’s business.
Dean kind of embodies that quality, and I wonder if people miss that because they’re just not familiar with the unspokeness of the notion? I don’t think I even put it to words all that well. But - it’s not a question. Of course he’s sensitive and he feels and he loves and he knows himself and he empathizes, and he loves Cass, of course he does.
Imagine if the Leviathans treated Cas as more of a parental figure. Imagine them calling Cas "Mother", sometimes in awe and worship, often in mockery. Imagine the Leviathans growing bitter because Cas clearly doesn't feel the same attachment to them. Imagine the Leviathans, natives of Purgatory where time and space is malleable, retaliate by shapeshifting into Jack's image. "You won't even mourn the loss of your own children. You deserve to see a face that you will one day cost you your own life and happiness."
Imagine Cas, seeing Jack for the first time and knowing for certain that he will one day grieve his son's death.
HEY GUYS LOOK AT THIS ART I DID

Summary: Set between 8x12 and 8x17, but the canon episodes are more like... guidelines than actual rules. Dean cracks an egg for breakfast, and out comes a baby cockatrice. Dean complains a lot, but rapidly evolves into /r/DadsWhoDidNotWantPets. Sam is investigating a mysterious prophet from the middle ages and rolling around in the archives like a nerd pig in a mud library. Kevin is jealous of the mysterious prophet and generally is Suffering. The cockatrice is living its best life and trying to get Dean to glam up a little. Castiel is--well, you'll see. Portia's whole thing gets fixed. I promise.

SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN UNTIL 11:59PM ET Sunday October 30th 2022. Technically sign ups are also open until then, but you'll need to allow time for the submission email to be sent to you after you sign up, since it has to be done manually and sometimes the mods, like, sleep and stuff.
CATCHERS NEED TO SIGN UP AS WELL. The hard deadline for catchers to sign up is NOVEMBER 5TH, because that's when claims happens! The only way that deadline will be extended is if claims goes to a second or third round with unclaimed pitches, which is frankly unlikely, so SIGN UP NOW.

They are being… corny ;)

Sign-ups for pitchers are technically closed — the same way stabbing isn't technically a romantic gesture.
But we, the Dean/Cas Stab Fest (Fun Sized) Team, don't care about technicalities.
Instead, we are very big fans of encouraging last minute panic (and making our lives chaotic) , so as long as you can submit a draft that's 50% by October 30, you can still sign up.
And.
In order to celebrate the occasion, we have also decided to make our first official Dean/Cas Stab Fest web browser game!
Yup. That's right, Stab Fest has an official game, so when writer's block or artist's block hits, you can get in the right mindset for this fest.
Check out the FAQ or the questions tag for more information.

Sign-ups for PITCHERS will be open until OCTOBER 30TH.
Sign-ups for CATCHERS will be open until NOVEMBER 5TH (which is also when claims happens!)
SIGN UPS OPEN SEPTEMBER 18TH

WIPBigBang Bragging Rights Post
Story Title: The Vessels of the Peregrine Fandom: Supernatural (2005) Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/41643558 Summary: Direct sequel/follow up to The Angel of Emetgis V. Dean is yeeted through space by Sparky the Very Demanding Angel and Dean is OVER the whole "might die any minute" thing and the "perform holy labor without compensation" thing. He has a right to be pissed, okay? Except--well--the angel is really, really pretty. And the work has to be done. Now with: weird pilgrims, a kid who doesn't think Dean is cool, yet more uncompensated labor, and a nosy Fed. NB: there will be further works in this series. Warnings: minor injuries, near death experience Characters: Castiel (Supernatural), Dean Winchester, Nancy Fitzgerald, Jimmy Novak (Supernatural), Amelia Novak, Claire Novak, Donatello Redfield, Victor Henriksen Pairings: Castiel/Dean Winchester When I Started: February 2022 How I Lost My Shit: I claimed Aceriee's beautiful art for the Dean/Cas Reverse Bang 2022. The plot quickly ballooned far beyond what I would be able to finish by deadline, so I wrote the first act or book and posted it as The Angel of Emetgis. How I Finished My Shit: I wanted very badly to finish the whole story, but knew that it would get constantly pushed to the backburner by other fic and fests. The WIP Big Bang was perfect because it allowed me to bring on my own artist, as Aceriee had offered to do further art for the 'verse.
Teaser:
There's too much noise.
In space, Dean's own breaths were awful, the rumbling of his guts and the susuration of blood pulsing through his ears. Here on the Peregrine, there are clangs--sharp reports of collision that Dean is too weak to flinch away from. Scraping, whooshing, swishing--fabric moving against itself, air sluicing through the vents, hard-soled shoes against the deck and tools and dishes sliding across hard surfaces.
The nurse spoons something into his mouth: the first food in weeks that wasn't injected directly into his veins. The flavor is so intense that Dean nearly blacks out. The weight of it on his tongue and the back of his throat feels like a rock, and nearly chokes him. Here lies Dean Winchester: survived outer space, then died from pudding.
GREETINGS! We, the Dean/Cas Stab Fest mods, have received revelation and decided to open up registration a whole four (4) days early for our current subscribers!

Don’t forget! If you’re interested sign ups open September 18th!!
do you like DEANCAS? DESTIEL? do you like that moment in Lazarus Rising when dean goes STAB and cas goes "lol that's cute" ???
do you like writing fic and/or creating art and having a good time with fandom and maybe also need deadlines and peer pressure to help meet your creative goals?
then YOU should participate in
it's new :) a fest for art and fic where dean stabs cas :)
Basically, the mods noticed that every time we did an AU, we had a bulletpoint in the outline SOMEWHERE that was just "Dean Stabs Cas." (It's a reference to the meet-cute in Lazarus Rising it is a subtle nod to canon it's not that the barn scene re-wired our brains or anything shut up.)
So we decided to create DeanCas StabFest (Fun-Sized) where artists and authors collaborate to create works in which Dean stabs Cas!
DeanCas StabFest is a bang and a reverse bang at the same time: some teams will have the artists presenting their WIPs to be claimed by authors; other teams will have author's WIPs being claimed by artists.
"Fun-Sized" means the minimum requirements are low, and the timeline is short: 1,500 words and 1 piece of visual art, to be completed over a two month period, with claims occurring at the halfway point.
Sign ups open September 18th, claims happen on November 5th, and posting runs from December 15th to December 22nd.
Follow @deancas-stabfest on Tumblr and Twitter for reminders and links to sign ups when they open!
Art for the Destiel Sci-fi and Fantasy Bang. @kayliemalinza wrote a great fic that asked the question: What if Dean acted like a feral cat and he lived in the mountains?"
sooooooo i did a thing Salt and Dirt to Taste
Writer: @kayliemalinza Artist: @free-to-be-impaled Summary: There's mountains and saltflats and the planet has two moons and rings like Saturn. Dean has SUPER GROSS BLISTERS all over his body but they're also a ~manifestation of his inability to let Sam go. Sam's fine; he's waiting to be reincarnated, but Dean is holding him back. Cas is the angel who rescued Dean and it is FRUSTRATING trying to help this man who resists assistance at every turn like a feral cat. There's forced bathing and dub-con wound care. Like I said. Feral cat.
Teaser:
Dean was in the salt flats long enough to learn the difference between the crackling white of dry salt and the shine of wet, the undulation near the foothills and the broad scoop where old seas used to be, before the world got hot and water disappeared. Dean's been cooked all over, the underside of his chin swathed in sunlight reflecting off the ground and burned just as red and crispy as the back of his neck and the bridge of his nose.
Dean doesn't know how he got from the salt flats to here; he doesn't know who has him now, if they're ally or foe of the people who had Dean first.
Dean thinks of Alastair's slow grin, his quick fingers, and thinks they must be foe; Alastair would never let go of his favorite chattel without a fight.
