Summary: 

When Dean and Sam start to investigate a haunted inn, Dean expects it to be just like any other case. But there’s a catch: the resident ghost, Cas, turns into a human for two weeks every year. Before they can move forward with the case, they have to find out what happened to give Cas this kind of afterlife. And more importantly, Dean has to figure out how to honor his commitment to hunting monsters while he’s slowly falling for a ghost.

There’s a lot to be said about the mystifying nature of celebrity. The feeling of knowing so much about a person—a musician, an actor, a reality star—and yet never quite getting close enough to touch. Understanding that what you see is only a fraction of them, like an iceberg in the Arctic.

Johnson Wisconsin is one such iceberg. 6’1, broad across the shoulders, and decidedly not from Wisconsin, he burst from nowhere into public consciousness nearly two decades ago, and has remained there since.

all the art from my first ever deancas big bang. it’s been an absolute pleasure working with one of my favourite people on this project. and on a Hannah Montana au no less

DCBB 2022: Broken Crown Art Masterpost

Modern royal AU, Dean struggling with family duties, childhood friends turned forbidden lovers, this fic has it all. Read JeanPilgrim’s fic Broken Crown on ao3 now to join Dean and Cas on their roadtrip to find a family heirloom (seen in the second pic) that will change Dean’s future.

I’m really proud of the first one, I think I captured the atmosphere of the moment. Loved playing with shadows in both these pieces. Thanks to JeanPilgrim for the fic and for the compliments on my art! You’re the one who inspired it all with your beautiful words. Happy DCBB, everyone!

EXCERPT:

"I've made too many mistakes already, Dean. Don't say or do anything that will force me to make another."  Castiel whispered, and though he did not spare Dean a glance, his voice was firm and low. 

The omega that stood in front of Dean was a stranger. The omega Dean had fallen in love with the night ago had vanished. 

Watching Castiel twirl the revolver in his hand reminded Dean of what Benny had mentioned the night before, about a rogue omega gang which seduced alphas before stealing from them and murdering them in cold-blood. 

"Castiel." Dean breathed out in disbelief. "You're a rogue omega; the bandit gang everyone is scared of in Serafe, you're a part of it, aren't you."

"I run the gang, Dean." Castiel looked up at last. Dean hitched a breath— whoever this man was, he was certainly not the same omega Dean had made love to the night before. No, he could not possibly be the same omega that had kissed Dean with his heart and soul, or had clung to Dean and breathed his name out as a prayer, the same omega that had begged Dean to touch him. 

"The brothel—"

"A cover. And good one at that." A lopsided grin spread across Castiel's face as he gazed down at Dean. Dean couldn't even stand the sight of him. He tried to break out of the rope, but only ended up scratching his own skin. 

"It won't tear. I've been using it for the past ten years. Trust me, it's a tight one." 

"You bitch, you motherfucking whore, you bastard—" Dean shouted out, yanking at the rope as hard as he could in sheer anger and agitation. 

"My little dove, my sweet omega, my angel—" Castiel laughed haughtily, and wandered over to where Dean was tied to the bedframe. "What happened to all of that?"

𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆: There’s a new Spanish professor, one Dean Winchester, at Flint Hills University. Castiel Novak—the senior Chinese professor—doesn’t really like it, especially since this new person is replacing his best (and only) friend Gabriel. Dean has a heart of gold, though, and it’s slowly chipping away at Cas’ ice-cold exterior in spite of Cas’ intentions to keep him at arm’s length.

at long last, my fic for this year's DCBB is up and running! i feel like i say this about everything i write, but this piece is a true labor of love. this story really wanted to be told, and i am so grateful it chose me to tell it. i want nothing but endless happiness for this Dean and Cas. i'm already so in love with these idiots but this story made me love them even more.
