Summary:

Castiel is recommended to visit Kinky Pie, a baking supplies store, to impress his date with some home-baked desserts. The date goes horribly wrong and so does the baking, but meeting the handsome and flirty shop owner still feels right. Castiel keeps going back, but how long can he continue shopping for ingredients never to be used? How long till Dean figures Castiel out?

Excerpt:

“Hello, Dean.”

Dean lights up. Cas sounds delicious, like coffee liquor and sugar cane; and Dean is so, so into sweets he wants to lick at the source of the sound. A very normal thing to think of a respected patron, for sure.

“How can I be of service today? Cake’s already gone?”

Cas blushes a bit at this. Dean wouldn’t mind a man who devoured a whole ass cake within days, though. Blue eyes averted, Cas fidgets with his basket, empty for now.

“I think I’m done with cakes. I would like to try my hand at something smaller. Easier to carry. Maybe something I could bring into the office?”

“The answer is macarons, dude. Bite sized, don’t need a fridge to store them, trendy, tasty, no milk, no gluten, good for everyone. You’re getting on nicely with your baking, so it’s not such a big step up.”

Castiel squirms. Was Dean being too much? Too friendly? He tries to keep it cool and professional, piling up maracon related equipment: a silicone mat with pre-drawn circles, almond flour and the best piping bag they have.

Cas obediently puts them all into his basket, but seems distracted and never stops blushing. He looks fucking cute like that.

“Hey, don’t be intimidated, Cas. It looks like a lot of fuss, but just do one step at a time, nice and slow, and it’s going to be fine. I happen to have a short video about the tricky parts on TikTok. Wanna see me embarrass myself on social media?”

Dean must have blabbered a lot, because Cas’ eyes are undeniably on his mouth, probably waiting for him to shut up. Or?

He gets hit on a reasonable number of times. He knows what it looks like when someone is interested. It looks exactly like this. But Cas is always so prim and industrious, never flirty. So. It’s a maybe at best.

He quickly finds the video on his profile and turns his phone towards Cas. He cringes when he hears his recorded voice but shrugs off the weirdness. The edit shows the main steps, like heating the sugar syrup to the perfect temperature, and beating the egg whites shiny and stiff. Hmmm. The camera zooms in on his fingers, wet and gently tapping, smoothing away the tiny peaks of the macaron shells on the silicone mat. It’s a bit, how to put it, suggestive. One finger drawing tight little circles unceasingly.

Dean sneaks a look at Cas, who’s watching mesmerized, eyes glued to the small screen. His throat works and his tongue darts out to wet his pink, chapped lips. Oh. He’s white knuckling his basket and then turns his hips subtly towards the shelter of the counter.

Honestly, it wasn’t Dean’s intention to turn Cas on with baking vids but now he’s getting hot and bothered too, just by looking at Cas being affected. Oops.

Artemis sends the Orion back to Gaia 🌍

.

What’s that saying? We are the Universe experiencing itself. Well, these Artemis II astronauts are out there experiencing the universe on an entirely different level.

I’ll admit, I had this idea and I did not eat or sleep or move until it was done. It was just one of those things that you need to get out or it’ll stay a sketch forever. I changed up my style a bit for this one too, utilizing some of the more artsy procreate brushes I have never touched in my entire life as an iPad artist.

Summary: Dean Winchester didn’t come to Perdition’s Gate looking for trouble or damnation, he came for a man who calls himself Castiel, a demon who trades in pleasure the same way other creatures trade in gold. What starts as a transaction becomes something far more dangerous when Dean realises he doesn’t just want what Castiel offers, he wants him, and wanting something in a place like Perdition has a way of turning into a bargain you can’t take back. After all, some gates aren’t meant to be walked through. Some are meant to swallow you whole.

until the day i die

aurbb posting day is finally here! it has been an honour and an absolute blast to work on this beast with the incomparable duckyboos, who is not only SO much fun but also a powerhouse that blew me away chapter by chapter. i only hope i have done this story some justice!!

trust me, friends. comrades. you don't wanna miss this one.

---

when young Dean Winchester met a guitarist in a dark alley one fateful night in Illinois, he lucked into a hyper-competent, wholly compatible creative force to be reckoned with, and a best friend besides.

now, a decade and change and a lot of paid dues later, Band Name Here is finally hitting the big time. trekking state to state via tour bus, they're not so much rockstar glam as they are gas station coffee chic, but it's hard to complain when their shows are selling out and there's a plucky journalist on their heels penning a spread for Rolling Stone.

except their professional breakthrough is taking Dean dangerously close--like, Titanic, meet iceberg close--to a personal one, and the lines between best friend and something-else but not-quite are getting blurrier by the sound check.

if you love it when Dean manages to be charming while also conducting unimaginable psychological warfare primarily against himself, with predictable fallout, you'll wanna grab your tickets now!

aaand, the art:

(apologies for lack of tattoos, above was the submitted piece!)

Yeah... as someone who thrives off of the community @tumblr provides (provided), this new update is terrible.

Am I never gonna see when people enjoy my art? Or writing? Am I never gonna wake up after posting a fic to see the most genuine reblogs? Tumblr, a site meant for creatives, has made it an actively discouraging place for them to interact. How dissappointing.

I wont hold my breath for them to undo this rollout, theyre a company that thinks they're above their own user base, but I will have to start considering what to do next soon.

Tumblr built its foundation off people finding community, a shame to see 'em now turn around and spit in our faces.

Summary:  

When angels appeared on Earth, the first thing humans did was use them as weapons against each other, causing the Great War and the Pale, a strange, misty substance that fractures the planet into pieces of isolated matter.

A century later, Castiel is an outcast among his fellow angels and humans alike. The only human who will befriend him is Dean, a handyman at the office where they both work. Together, they discover the existence of a Pale Spot that threatens to devour all reality around, and the love they feel for each other just might be the key to stopping it.
