My illustrations for Nothing But a Sky, a #deancas fanfic by @chaoticdean for the @deancasbigbang which just came out!

I've wanted to be part of some Dean&Cas event since forever. My writer guided me every step of the way, so I couldn't have asked for a better partner! I had so much fun with this (and so little time)!

2025 DCBB Masterlist

Posting for the 2025 DCBB is done and dusted!

Thank you so much to the writers, artists, betas, and readers who make this challenge such a delight to run! We love seeing familiar names as you return, and we love welcoming new ones as this fandom continues to remain strong.

Be on the lookout for @deancasreversebang sign-ups opening soon!

In the meantime, here is the link to the 2025 DCBB masterlist.

Thank you for another great year!

DCBB posting time is here, and I had the good fortune to work with @blackhorsedances, who very patiently let me draw all manner of guys and critters for their sweet and soft and lovely fic, Arms Around His Angel.

I couldn't have asked for a kinder collaborator and it's been a fantastic experience. If you're a fan of Jack being the most adorable kiddo, this fic has you covered. And I guess Cas and Dean are there, too, tripping over themselves about falling for each other.

I had a heck of a time narrowing down what to focus on, but I hope you guys enjoy the art and story <3 Go forth! Read! (& Thanks to the DCBB mods for putting this show on the road!)

and the last one under a cut, for some almost nudity:

Art Masterpost for Benka79's DCBB:

The Duke's Exchanged Fiancée

What would you do if you could go back in time and fix what went wrong? After Castiel Novak and his parents die at the hands of the Duke Winchester for treason to the Emperor, Castiel returns to life two days before the catastrophe and tries to stop the tragedy by asking to be taken by the Duke instead of his sister, Dean's fugitive fiancée, as a financial advisor. The Duke accepts the offer and spares the Novaks' lives. However, Castiel will soon discover that the Duke has not taken him to his dukedom to be just his advisor.

Having completed the pieces for this fic as well, I can say for certain that I will absolutely be participating in future bangs! I had a blast reading, prepping, and creating the final pieces—please go read this awesome fic! If you’re interested in some process notes, I’ve included those in the AO3 link below (and I will also be posting a MUCH more extended reflection with additional insights and process in the coming weeks. That’ll be shared separately as well as in the comments!)

It's this time of the year again! DCBB 2025! To be honest, I wasn't planning to participate this year but I still browsed the sites just in case. This one caught my eyes so I just HAD to claim it.

There were so many good scenes in this story, but sadly I am not confident in my skills and time enough to have done them justice. I chose the two that spoke to me the most as I was reading.

It's actually been so long since I read a Destiel fic or just drawn these two. I am really happy the fic I read was this one.

Title : Colors of Paradise (link)

Author : hazel bites

It’s summer 1978. Dean Winchester is twenty-three and fresh out of prison, ready to establish a life he’d never gotten a chance to start. He arrives in Copper Creek, Wisconsin, hoping to reconnect with his brother Sam after five years apart. He soon meets a mysterious man who lives alone in the woods and has his own secrets to hide. Neither set out to befriend the other but it happens anyway, almost without them realizing it.

Here is the art for Bunnyhunter's wonderful fic "Mind your own business", for the Dean/Cas Big Bang! Thank you so much for trusting me with your lovely story! 💙💚

Amazing thanks to the mods, for organizing this wonderful bang! 💖💖
