Director Lucian Novak's decision to cast Oscar winner Castiel Novak opposite blockbuster action star Dean Winchester in his upcoming historical epic continues to divide the industry.

Some critics are calling it a bold artistic gamble.

Others are wondering whether putting two notoriously difficult men in the middle of a sweeping romance was ever a good idea.

Meanwhile, production has officially begun in Morocco.

And according to completely unverified rumours, the very first scene filmed involved a kiss.

What could possibly go wrong?

Chapter 4 of Lights, Camera, Action! is now up on AO3

the plane ride to morocco is officially underway which means: dean winchester is charming everyone in sight, sam wesson is slowly being adopted by hollywood against his will, lucian novak continues to collect emotionally complicated people like trophies, and castiel novak is trying very hard not to think about the last time he met his co-star.

unfortunately for him, dean winchester remembers absolutely nothing.

“people thought that he was acting when he was falling apart in front of them.”

Calling all Destiel artists, gif makers and video creators!

One day, @hawkland and @friendofcarlotta were commiserating about how reverse bangs often were full of wonderfully creative AU ideas and scenarios, but it was hard to do them proper justice in the short writing period, and low word count, typically given for reverse bangs. So, we decided to try to launch a reverse Big Bang to fill that void!

Stories & art for this event must be focused on the relationship between Dean and Castiel in some romantic, sexual, or queerplatonic fashion that would qualify as more than simple friendship (ie, you would tag the story and/or art with a “/” and not a “&” on Archive of Our Own). Aro/ace readings of the characters are of course welcome!

Story minimum length requirement: 10,000 words

Art requirement per collaboration: 2 full illustrations or equivalent graphic/video works (For video submissions, 30 seconds per piece or one minute entirety. For gifset submissions, a minimum of 3 gifs per set, 6 in total.)

Banner/title art: Required from artist. (Can be just a crop/edit of the original piece submitted for claims.)

Full rules can be found here, along with the event schedule.

Summary: For years now, Dean Winchester has had a mutually beneficial arrangement with Castiel Novak, a fellow private eye. It’s good, it’s easy, and there’s nothing wrong with it. Well, except for one thing: Dean’s caught himself a bad case of feelings, and Cas doesn’t feel the same way.

It’s that time again! DCBB is open for the 2023 round, and we’re so excited to bring the community another flood of fantastic fic and art.
