#dcbb2025

Guess what? It’s April 1st which means Dean/Cas Big Bang!

Sign ups for 2025 are officially open for authors, artists and beta readers. Read the rules, check the schedule, and sign up today!

We look forward to seeing and reading all the fantastic fics and art that will be coming out in October and November. 

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.

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.
