Part 2 of art for the amazing fanfic Savior’s In The Details !

Title: Savior’s in the Details Author: PaperAnn Artist: telltaleofthestars Rating: Explicit Length: 70,947 Pairings: Dean/Cas Warnings: None Summary: If Dean was anything, he was stubborn: the means didn’t matter, as long as The Mission was achieved.

His purpose: serving, protecting, and putting his life on the line for the sake of others.

Fresh out of high school, he enlisted. During his time with the Marines, Dean found himself and happily discovered public service was his calling. After the military, he didn’t miss a beat, joining the police force. Dean knew he wanted more and, combined with his brother’s urging, he poured every spare second into his education. After fighting like hell, he joined the CIA.

But then Dean’s life changed. And it sucked. Flipping through online job listings wasn’t cutting it, so Sam offered another suggestion.

Except, after hearing the pitch…this job sounded too good to be true. The damn contract weighed more than Dean could bench press! After the fiftieth page, he’d zoned out and lost interest. The read was boringly ordinary: the gig was right up his alley.

When Sam vouched for the legitimacy, Dean saw freedom. An escape from mundane life. His chance back into the field—a golden opportunity!

He was so fucking wrong. Within five minutes on his first day, Dean knew he’d made a horrible mistake.

Title: Now Trending!

Created by: PaperAnn

Summary: When journalist Castiel Krushnic goes to a Dodgers game with his actor boyfriend, his man bun, and his bros, the last thing he expects is a scoreboard proposal. Saying no isn’t the hard part—they’ve only been dating for five months, and the fool can’t even spell his name correctly! The hard part is the silence after shocking a stadium full of disappointed fans… At the game with his family, Dean Winchester comes to Cas’ rescue and rushes him away from a camera crew. He’s even there for him when the video goes viral, when Cas’ social media blows up—in a bad way—doing his best assisting with damage control. Cas knows the wilds of LA (he‘s part of it) so there’s no way a handsome, up-and-coming doctor like Dean is looking for anything serious. That doesn’t mean they can’t embarks on an epic rebound as Cas gets his life back on track—right? As time goes on, their glorified hookups start breaking the rules—it wasn’t supposed to happen! One of them needs to be smart enough to speak up, to slow them down, if not end it completely before they’re too far gone…if that line hasn’t been crossed already.

Preview:

Castiel knew there might be paparazzi at the game, but seeing them pursue interviews during downtime was tacky—his boyfriend a celebrity or not.  Still, it unbelievable they had the balls to rush in and additionally distract the other VIPs!

“This is ridiculous.  I’ll handle it,” Cas assured and stalked off, scanning for trademarked logos.  There was nothing delicate about how he pushed the group back and crowded them towards the sidelines.  “Who the hell do you work for?  Star?  In Touch?  Fuckin’ Fox News?”

He seized the boom pole, knocking it down as subtly as possible.  “From one journalist to another, this is an inappropriate time to fish for a story.  If you insist on invading people’s personal lives, keep your distance, or—"

His boyfriend insisting from behind, “It’s okay, babe, I’ve got a good story for him,” was both as frustrating as it was confusing when he took Cas’ hand.

What the hell?  He was advocating for him!  Cas didn’t get involved with movie deals, why should he interfere when Cas dealt with the press?  One thing was certain: he was finished being well-behaved today.

Cemented in staring down the camera crew, he ordered, “You better pray I don’t find out what network you’re with!”

He was weighing the options of dismissal or threats of bodily harm when suddenly, something else very, very perplexing happened.

The, “Hey, Cas,” flanking him grated more than usual.  The quality was off—wrong—within the words themselves.

They were….well, everywhere.  Booming, echoing, surrounding him completely—projecting from the stadium’s loudspeakers.

An explosion of applause, cheering, and other odd noises erupted from the crowd. What the hell—?

—Why wasn’t the camera crew leaving?  Why his wrist being tugged?  Why was the sound guy gesturing backwards, making Cas want to punch him in the fucking face—?!

One yank—the brute-force type—forced Cas to spin back.  His boyfriend was grinning like a loon.

“I’m protecting you, your privacy,” Castiel hissed, but he wasn’t being heard, nothing was sinking in!

“I gotta say something—”  This continual attempt silencing him wouldn’t end well…  “Check it out, gorgeous!”

“What, is your team up?” he scoffed sarcastically, tearing his grip away.

As the field fell quiet, Cas realized his own voice was amplified.  Desperate for answers, Cas’ attention darted where he’d been pointed—the scoreboard.

On the massive jumbo screen, it read: “Casstile - Will You Marry Me?”

Everything crashed down.

The camera crew’s persistence.  His boyfriend’s finicky behavior.  The volume—they must have mic’d him during the break—now in proximity to pick up Cas’ words—!

Cas turned to see him bow down to knee, “Castiel Krushnic, marry me?” audience ‘ooo’ing and ‘aww’ing.

The sad thing was…maybe he loved Cas.  But this was fake—that smile was for the cameras.  Not Castiel.

He should’ve acted like an adult: agreeing publicly and handling their affairs privately.  But he was riled up and war-torn for today’s shitfest, hitting his breaking point.

Castiel unleashed the bitter snarl of, “Learn how to spell my fucking name!“ ignoring the crowd’s shocked gasp.

Only after he’d furiously sent the box flying out onto the field with a well-aimed slapped, did he realized—

The game was live.  The cameras made sure the world was watching.  And real life didn’t cut to commercials.

Title: White Lies & Winter Blues Author: PaperAnn Artist: Deancebra Rating: Explicit Length: 37,694 Pairings: Dean/Cas Warnings: None Tropes: Alpha/Beta/Omega Society, Hurt/Comfort

Summary: When Castiel drives by a car wreck, he should’ve heeded the warning, ‘the road to hell is paved with good intentions.’

He’s a nurse, it’s a record-breaking, cruel winter, and upon seeing the driver hypothermic and near-death—his instincts kick in. Cas doesn’t think, he jumps into action to save the omega.

Once the ambulance arrives, Castiel joins the ride. Then in the hospital room, he keeps a watchful eye over the omega’s treatment and care. All under the guise of being ‘his alpha.’ Castiel’s plan was innocent, wishing for a quick recovery, followed by quicker exit.

Except, he misses his shot. The omega awakes and the nurse beats Cas to the punch, with the declaration, “You’re lucky your mate found you in time!” causing all hell to break loose.

There are no questions. A starry-eyed and love-struck Dean Winchester automatically believes the accident caused amnesia, that Cas is his mate.

This wasn’t supposed to happen! Now entangled in his own lies—still reeling from the unexpected discovery they’re true mates—Cas feels helpless. He doesn’t know what the fuck to do! Besides…playing along.

Paving his road to hell, one good intention at a time.

For this years tropefest, I got the honour of making art for PaperAnn’s wonderfull fic White Lies & Winter Blues! It contains hurt/comfort, amnesia and a lot of other goodies like a happy ending! 

I’ve love reading A/B/O and have several of their fic bookmarked, so getting to work with the author directly has been abseloutly wonderfull.
