Heavy on destiel, but multi-fandom and multi-shipping. Wee woo show and The Pitt. So many fandoms, too many to list all of the. Random knitting,horoscopes, crafts. Very old Virgo and fandom grandma Gen-Xer. Lemons and Ship and Let Ship. My Fic on AO3 - https://archiveofourown.org/users/mercurialkitty Ko-fi at https://ko-fi.com/mercurialkitty Profile image by chained-to-the-mirror. I made the background art, which gets traded out from time to time.
getting lost in boston is fun because I turned around on a street corner three times and some guy yelled "hey stupid! the bus is that way!" very helpful interaction and accurate insult, 10/10 no notes
one time I walked around a building a couple times looking for a bathroom and this guy went "this bitch thinks she's on a merrygoround, where the fuck are you tryna go? bathroom? one floor down to the right behind the door that says bathroom."
My very first time in Boston. I was absolutely miserable, trying to drag my giant suitcase up a lengthy set of stairs in the pouring rain. This guy who had already reached the top looked back at me with the most pure expression of disgust Iāve ever seen in anyoneās eyes, marched back down the stairs, grabbed my suitcase, carried it to the top, left it there for me, and walked away without ever saying a word. I think about him often.
For the people in the notes going "why is Boston like this": a) the insults are a way to show you have no ulterior motives when helping someone (and don't need to be thanked or repaid), and b) Boston was settled by the Irish
also the Italians. mixing Irish and Italian sociocultural attitudes had the effect of multiplying the Sass Levels by the power of infinity, in the sense that you get all of the clever dry wit of the Irish and all of the bitchy gossipy condensation of the Italians rolled into one very stereotypically overly-friendly American package.
also worth noting that who you are to them doesnāt matter. theyāll talk to strangers like that and will also talk to their best friends like that. theyāre just Like That.

Summary:Ā
Castiel is done. Retired, burned out, perfectly content to rot in his rundown house with bad TV and cold takeout, and he wants nothing to do with the hero life anymore. Especially not with some loud, ridiculously pretty, golden retriever idiot who literally breaks through his window and refuses to leave.
Dean Winchester has other plans. One job, he says. Just one, then heāll disappear. Except Dean doesnāt disappear. He drags Cas back into the field, flirts like itās an Olympic sport, somehow makes Casā miserable life feel a little less empty, and āone jobā slowly starts seeming a lot more like teamwork, before eventually becoming something that feels dangerously like family.
Excerpt: He penned in another number. 4 in the centre column. The grid was almost done, which pulled the tiniest twitches to the corner of his lips.
There was a sudden loud smash as glass and splintered wood sprayed across the room like shrapnel from a cheap fireworks show. Something dark and cylindrical punched through the wreckage and embedded itself deep in the couch cushion, inches from Casā thigh. It blinked, a small red light pulsing once, then flashing, then began a rapid, high pitched beep.
Castiel stared at it for half a second with his pen still hovering over the Sudoku grid.
Fuck sake.
He launched himself toward the hallway door as the beeping accelerated into a frantic whine, and he made it about three steps before the device detonated with a concussive whump. The blast lifted him off his feet and hurled him through the flimsy hallway door like a ragdoll. Wood cracked and splintered around him, and he hit the opposite wall hard enough to dent a hole in the drywall before sliding down in a shower of dust and debris.
His back throbbed faintly, the healing factor (lazy bastard that it was after years of overuse) had barely started knitting the worst of it when a silver flash cut through the air. Cas jerked his head aside and a dagger thunked into the wall where his eye had been a moment earlier.
At the far end of the hallway stood a figure in a red suit and mask, outlined against the ruined living room. The intruder gave a cheerful little wave, gloved fingers wiggling like this was a social call.
āEveninā, partner,ā the masked man called out in a warm and bright voice. āHope I didnāt interrupt anythinā important.ā
Castiel pushed off the wall with less grace than he would have several years ago. āYou did.āĀ

Now this, this is the first thing I drew between February and May....influenced by A LOT of Anime openings lol
I wasn't planning on taking in to Purcon, much less have it signed by Misha, but I was taking my sketchbook with me anyway and this was in there so I decided why not have him sign it
Didn't scan this one before he signed it either so it just has his signature forever too

Summary:
Dean and Lisa are getting married and Castiel throws Dean a stag party. All the best, favorite things for his best friend. The wedding doesn't go as planned and Castiel makes an unexpected confession.
Excerpt:
Castiel reached out and squeezed Deanās hand with a grin before letting go and folding his hands in front of him. Dean grinned back and waved at the guests before settling in position. After waiting for a couple minutes, Dean started to fidget and the guests were looking around, confused and waiting for the procession to begin.
Sam stood and, as inconspicuous as a moose in a post office, walked to the back and poked his head out to the lobby. Then he fully slipped through the door and it shut behind him. Deanās face lit up when the door reopened, slightly confused when Sam slowly re-entered the room and walked up the aisle looking ā¦ embarrassed? Angry? Annoyed? Castiel couldnāt figure it out.
Castiel stepped down to meet Sam at the bottom of the steps.
āWhatās going on?ā Castiel whispered. āIs everyone ok?ā
āThereās no one out there,ā Sam frantically whispered back. āThis was stuck to the door though.ā
Sam handed Castiel an envelope with Deanās name on it ā¦ in Lisaās writing. Castielās seen it enough on cards and little post-it notes on the fridge. His heart dropped as he took it and looked up at Dean, who still somehow looked optimistic.
He stepped closer to Dean and handed him the envelope. Dean looked at it, turning it over in his hands as his face went from optimistic to resigned. Dean let out a sigh that spoke volumes before huffing a sarcastic chuckle.
Yknow what I LOVE about the Star Trek fandom? Itās ANCIENT. I had a talk with a nice old lady at the old persons home that my great grandma is in and she noticed my Spock shirt and was like āoh I love that show I thought the premise was lovelyā and you all know THE PREMISE is trekspeak for spirk and I was like ādo you accept the premise because I doā and she looked at me with the eyes of someone who is reliving their otp moments and she said āthe premise is all I wrote about, dearā and we just talked about spirk for a hella long time and I just love how age doesnāt matter in this fandom you can be ninety and still be the biggest spirk bitch ever how rad is that
Reblogging to spread knowledge about the Premise, because I absolutely love that bit of fandom, and I want to make sure that it survives. (and yay to everyone who is part of todayās 10,000!)

Summary:Ā
Mayor Castiel Novak is running for reelection. As such, it's slightly awkward that he's in love with Dean Winchester, his opponent's son. Things become even more awkward when a photograph showing the two of them in an intimate moment is leaked to the press.
But wait, it gets worse: Dean discovers that his father's campaign leaked the pictures in the first place. Now, Dean and Castiel must decide if they're ready to own their relationship, no matter the effects on Castiel's political future.
Excerpt:
āFucking Crowley,ā Castiel mutters to himself as he thumbs back to his recent calls and hits the dial button. āStupid fucking Crowley and his fucking money and his fucking suitsāā
Laughter sounds over the line as soon as the call connects, and Castiel instantly feels better at the sound of it. āYou alright there, sweetheart? Gotta be something bad, to have you swearing this much.ā
āYes, itās bad,ā he says. āAwful. Horrible. Devastating. I wonāt be able to see you on Thursday.ā
āAw, fuck.ā
āMy point exactly.ā Castiel gestures expansively at the general situation, though there is no one here to see. Perhaps he should reconsider his stance on video calls, if only where Dean is concerned.
āWhatās the conflict?ā Dean asks.
āWell, two things, as it turns out. Iām meant to be going to the ribbon-cutting for a new community center, and then Iāll need to leave for a fucking fundraiser at Fergus fucking Crowleyās house.ā
āUgh, heās the worst,ā Dean says, and this is the kind of thing that has Castiel increasingly convinced that Dean is the love of his life. āImportant donor though, unfortunately.ā
āNot as important to me as you,ā Castiel says, almost desperate to get this point across, because even five months into this whatever-theyāre-doing-together, he canāt quite believe someone as gorgeous and smart and generally wonderful as Dean is willing to put up with him.
āI know, sweetheart,ā Dean says, soft and quiet, and Castiel wishes Dean were here with him, sitting in the passenger seat, steady eyes fixed on him and their hands linked together. āYouāre a busy man, Mr. Mayor. I knew that going in.ā
I love you. The words sit on Castielās tongue all the time these days. They have become a permanent part of the landscape of his mouth. He should be charging them rent, or perhaps adjusting the zoning code in the general vicinity ofā
Jesus. He really needs to work on getting more sleep.Ā
My list of supernatural smoking fic recs, mostly destiel
It's pretty hard to find fics that are tagged with smoking, but donāt include it as just a one-off or a brief mention. So I decided to make a list of fics that, apart from the main plot, feature smoking pretty consistently and have some focus on it!
If you have any fics youāve read that also feature smoking in a significant way, Iād love for you to share them in the replies or reblogs!
Destiel fics
this that burns like a cigarette by retiredgraffitihead
Dean picks up smoking, believing he is entitled to a bad habit after all the torture heās experienced in hell. It helps him sleep, as he keeps having the same nightmare of Cas dying over and over again. Smoking is featured all throughout the fic, and I really loved the exploration of Deanās past and internalized homophobia.
Sam finds out eventually and calls out Deanās habit. Negative effects on Deanās health after lots of smoking are also mentioned. Cas, of course, heals him voluntarily, but doesnāt object to Deanās decision. He says he will heal him so he doesnāt end up with a chronic cough. Of course, Dean continues to smoke anyway.
He does end up quitting by the end of the fic though.
Of fuming and partaking and so on by zation
Older!Cas/Younger!Dean
Cas is a divorced middle-aged gas station worker who smokes too much. Dean is an almost-college student with a weirdly supportive family who happens to find Cas extremely attractive. A follow-up to a one-shot where destiel get their freak on and realize they may like each other a lot more than they initially realized.
Cas is sassy and takes no shit in this fic, but is also very good to Dean! Don't let the age gap and fuckbuddies tags deter you, destiel here are actually extremely sweet! Cas recognizes Deanās youthfulness, but doesnāt treat him as lesser. And Dean looks past Casā baggage and sees the beautiful human being behind it, not just his mistakes. Features Casā asshole family whose dynamic I found extremely interesting!
And, of course, Cas smokes in this fic. Smoking isn't featured during explicit scenes, but it's casual and intimate ā Cas smokes when lying together with Dean on the couch, in the kitchen, invites Dean with him outside. Dean doesn't mind it.
Mechanically inclined by supernatural_sophia
Castiel starts dating his mechanic, and Dean is jealous. Miscommunication ensues.
Cas is an angel, but has been smoking occasionally, believing it to be the remnants of Jimmyās cravings. Of course, Jimmy is long gone, so truly, he is just an addict in denial, or thatās the conclusion I came to after reading, anyway š .
The smoking scenes are very intimate and atmospheric. Dean calls Cas while he goes out to smoke a cigarette under the stars, and reprimands him for the habit. But, in the end, he purchases a pack for him after they have an argument as a peace offering. I found that really sweet.
You Start To Grow Wings by FagurFiskur
First chapter is strictly Dean/Original Male Character. Second is destiel.
A fic about Dean befriending a boy who he finds smoking under the bleachers. The experience prompts Dean to discover things about himself when he ends up having a crush on the boy, and eventually dating him for a while.
The second part doesnāt feature smoking, but Dean and Eli, the original character, reunite during a case by chance and get to talk about their past, as well as how their time together changed them both. Dean ends up realizing just how much Cas means to him then.
The original male character is very sweet. I loved the awkward, stilted, fearful way the author portrayed a teenagerās first non-heterosexual crush, two boys trying to find comfort in each other while carrying their own baggage and traumas, just trying to survive. And their reunion is the second chapter is very sweet too.
Life in Red by chucks_prophet
A small AU fic about Dean and Cas going through a rough patch.
Dean reminisces about their relationship while holding Casā hoodie, the one sporting a couple cigarette burns which he cherishes. Dean remembers how they got there ā Cas smoking and burning the hoodie accidentally during their moments together.
A short, but atmospheric fic. And they get back together in the end!
Another 12x03 Coda by Piper_Halliwell1979
As the title says, itās a 12x03 coda.
After Mary leaves, Dean storms out. Cas goes after Dean, and finds him chainsmoking and drinking. He accepts a cigarette from Dean, stating it works as a conversation starter when questioning witnesses.
They end up talking about Mary, as well as their feelings for each other.
shotgunning gone right by faithlesshunter
Kripke era destiel. Dean teaches a falling Cas how to smoke cigarette, and how to shotgun. Shenanigans ensue.
Short, sweet, hot and sexy!
Precipice by haus_seeblick
Castiel is a detective. After a supernatural disappearance of his sister Anna, Cas is determined to find out what happened. A chance meeting with the Winchester brothers gives him a huge lead towards the truth.
Witnessing a bright light as a child, in which Anna disappeared right before his eyes, left an impact on Castielās body. He manages his tremors and anxiety with medication and cigarettes.
Cas smokes throughout the fic, but it isnāt the focus of the story. Still, I think itās worth giving a read, as I loved the plot of the fic!
Cigarettes And Sex by thelonelywriter
Highschool AU destiel PWP where Dean smokes as they have sex. Yep.
Very hot, very nice. I firmly believe we need more smoking during sex fics. I had a blast reading this.
The Winchester School for Hunters by didntwanderstillgotlost
Sam and Dean open a school for hunters. Castiel is a new teacher.
Sam smokes, Dean smokes, Cas smokes, everyone smokes! Destiel enemies to lovers, but in my opinion, itās more like annoyance to lovers.
They smoke a lot. Thatās my selling point here. Also an in-universe destiel Tumblr blog gets started at some point, which I found hilarious.
The smoking halo by Im_just_1_massive_idjit
Established Destiel.
Cas discovers Dean smokes, and tries very hard to find a way to help him quit using various suggestions from the internet.
Meanwhile, on their daily evening outings to watch the sunset together, Dean discovers Castiel has a halo. He comes up with a genius idea to light his cigarettes on it from then on.
A cute fic, although frustrating if you actually want Dean to quit. We can all console ourselves with the fact that Dean will always have Cas to heal him.
but the brightest of the planets is mars... by HeddersTheOwl
The fanfic gap of 09x06
Dean and Cas share a motel room. Cas finds Deanās cigarettes and asks if he can have one. They share a cigarette and talk some.
Very bittersweet, but absolutely delicious. Written from Deanās POV, you can see how much he loves Cas, and it broke my heart.
I also absolutely adore when writers brainstorm ways for Cas to start smoking, especially if itās when heās (still) an angel.
If you like this work, the author has a few more in the linked series, also about destiel sharing a smoke.
Smoke, Instead of Flames by AviraEriya
A short drabble of Cas picking up smoking from Jimmy and how it fit into his life as an angel. I have an affinity for smoker!Jimmy and always appreciate fics where authors write it in. And I just think we deserved more of Jimmy in general!
Not Quite A Technicolour Dreamcoat by Ethereal_Xen
Endverse āslice of lifeā type fic.
Dean finds a big supply of ink. He and Cas drink and share and chainsmoke cigarettes while tattooing the camp. Then, Dean goes to finish the tattoo he was making for Cas.
A really sweet and short story about Dean and Cas finding companionship in each other despite circumstances.
When you watch me by zation
Neighbours AU.
Cas watches Dean through his window every time he goes for a smoke. Dean is into it, taking to going around the house half-naked.
a safety pin and a ballpoint pen by notreallyaroad
Dean smokes. One day, Dean offers Cas his cigarette, and he accepts. They keep sharing cigarettes when meeting each other from then on. In one of those meetings, Dean shows Cas the first tattoo he's ever gotten. Then he offers to make one for Cas too. Cas accepts, and they share a smoke during that process too.
A very intimate, atmospheric short story. I loved their unspoken yearning for each other so much. I always love stories that tackle Casā relationship with his vessel slash body after Jimmy is gone, too.
G.H.O.U.L. by Adunaphel_the_quiet
From the fic summary:
When the top-secret military task force Castiel and Dean work at together is ambushed, Cas is the lone survivor.
With a new identity and a transfer to the FBI, Cas identifies Dean, the man he secretly loved and thought dead for years, as the killer in a series of murders heās investigating.
A very cool short story that features incredible artwork from a Ukrainian artist. Cas is a smoker here, and he smokes throughout the fic.
Shiver by birdyedwards
Early seasons destiel.
A very atmospheric piece from Casā POV as he starts travelling with the Winchesters for the first time. Something is on Deanās mind, and he starts smoking again after having quit all the way before getting Sam from Stanford. Loved the vibe of this story, itās so beautifully written.
come alive in the heat by violethoure666
Older!Cas/Younger!Dean (still a wip, but is updated regularly)
From the fic summary:
It's Summer in Sugar Run, Florida. John has disappeared to God knows where, and Dean is doing whatever he can to make ends meet and keep food on the table. He's used to doing all sorts of odd jobsābut working for the taciturn and slightly strange older man on the other side of the park presents a new set of challenges...and a new set of rewards.
Sugar daddy fic except they so obviously like each other, but are too deep in self-hatred to realize it. I love how real this work feels. I love Cas and Deanās interactions, the slow build of their relationship. The sex scenes never feel like something they donāt enjoy, in contrast, they only feel soft and loving. Cas is a huge mystery that unravels with every chapter, and even Dean keeps many secrets about himself from Cas. They both compliment each other so well, and feel like the exact person they were meant to meet in their lives.
And of course, they smoke. A lot. Cas smokes the most, but Dean smokes too. They smoke inside, and share cigarettes, and even other characters smoke as well. Itās a part of the story I like a lot, and adds a certain charm, softness to it. The intimacy of sharing a cigarette canāt be overstated. Itās not rough, or covered in bitterness. Just a casual, mutual thing they share.
once an addict, always an addict by blueingaround
Gen fics
Sam picks up smoking as a way to substitute his demon blood addiction. He tries to hide it from Dean, but one day, his cravings are too much, and Dean finds out. Sam snaps, and finally spills how hard it has heen for him to act normally after all the trauma he's experienced.
I am stronger then you give me credit for by fallensystem
Dean starts smoking again, and Sam wants to understand why, and if there's anything he can do to help.
A short, but sweet fic. I love discussions of addiction in general, as well as people getting support from the people they love.
