what's the matter with you lately?

“When the Magnolias bloom“, Dean/Cas, chap 22/22, NOW COMPLETE!

Someone tell me how to stop being sappy about this cause I can’t seem to stop tearing up! 😭Almost 130k, over a year of writing, and a LOT of meltdowns, but I made it, and I definitely could not have done it without the support you guys gave me. I wrote the epilogue I wanted to read, tried my best to give the boys that happy ending I promised since the start, and I really really hope you’ll enjoy it too <3 @all-or-nothing-baby  @petrichoravellichor   @wanderingcas  @tibbinswrites   @tipofmemory @eyesofatragedy67   @legendary-destiel  @anonymouscastiel12 @slothishlife @kittyfangirls @anaels @deancasfanficnet

THANK YOU to everyone who has been reading/commenting/reblogging, if you decide to promote this story in any way you’re amazing I’ll be forever grateful!

Summary: It’s been ten years since the Apocalypse. Ten years without talking, without knowing one another. Cas has a company to handle and a wedding to plan, Dean has a broken marriage and a decision to make. They have separate lives, lovers and families of their own, they aren’t supposed to meet again, to mess it all up. And yet they do, when they least expect it, and maybe when they most need it. A story about second chances, about hope and resilience, and a love that feels both doomed and inevitable.

They have a house by a lake. Cas closes his eyes to listen to the birds. Dean keeps his open because sometimes it’s still hard to believe he can have this.

I just love love love the story of two middle-aged men loving each other and exploring something new. It’s just so warm and sweet and hot. Like gimme all of the sweet wrinkles around the eyes and the big strong, calloused hands. Gimme the wonder at experiencing something new when you just started to feel like you know all that life had to offer you.

NOW COMPLETE: The Heroes’ Journey

Featuring gorgeous art by @lizleeships​ and homages to fics by @valleydean​ and @flurryflair​.

Read it now on AO3.

When you perform a spell to defeat God himself, there’s bound to be side effects — such as every version of Team Free Will getting zapped to an alternate universe.

The former residents of the Endverse find themselves in an underground bunker full of the kinds of food they haven’t seen in years and clothes that magically fit them. As Dean adjusts to life in a world where Croatoan never got out of control, he faces some tough questions: Can he forgive Sam for saying yes to Lucifer? And is his relationship with Cas really beyond saving?

I’m delighted to post this super fluffy commission for the lovely @friendofcarlotta, for her wonderful fic The Heroes’ Journey (or There and Back Again).  Go give it a read!!

I mean, a commission with soft flannel boys dancing in a cowboy bar? How could I not?
