So here’s the thing, there WAS a release back in March, (shoutout to @winchestersingerautorepair for finding this), where 15x18′s episode title is “The Truth,” and BEFORE that there was another article that referred to it as “Despair.” 

I honestly don’t know if this was an intentional change, a miscommunication in one department or another where they released an incorrect title, or if they changed it and then changed it back, but any way you slice it it’s WEIRD. 

Written in collaboration with @deansrightfulangerissue​ for @writersofdestiel​ Halloween Promptus Exchangarama | Prompt: Orange and Black

Pairing: Castiel/Dean Winchester  Rating: Teen and Up Warnings and Tags: No Archive Warnings Apply, Magic AU, Witch!Dean, Familiar!Castiel, First Meetings, Samhain, Warning for an animal sacrifice Word Count:  5840

Summary: The end of the harvest. The one day the veil between our world and the otherworld is thinnest. The day when a witch coming of age can try summoning and binding a familiar. The Samhain Feast is a tradition so ancient, no one remembers how it started. Dean has attended every single one of them since he was old enough to walk, watching witches meeting their familiars and bonding with them.

This year, it's his turn to make an offering. And hope one of the familiars chooses him. 

Preview: As the crimson hues of the sunset give way to the dark velvet of the night the pyres become brighter, almost dazzling. Dean can’t remember if they were like this last year, too. Maybe it’s because this year it’s his turn to take part in the Samhain Feast that everything seems more magical, more vivid than ever before. Even the camp seems larger this year, and there are definitely more witches attending.

His stomach twists uncomfortably at that. He’d promised himself he wouldn’t be thinking of the other witches as competition, but he, Sam, and Bobby have barely set up their camp and he’s already in a downward spiral of worries. 

What if he’s not good enough, what if he’s not strong enough, what if no one answers his summoning?

I gotchu!! I’m always here for femslash...

“Quadruple espresso for...Lisa?”

The gorgeous woman didn’t respond, her bleary eyes fixed on her phone. 

“Lisa?” 

“Oh...yeah…thanks…” She took the coffee, glanced at Charlie, and did a double-take, her cheeks pinking.

“...someone keeping you up at night?” Charlie asked.

“I wish! But no...yes...sort of. My kid had a nightmare. Joys of single motherhood.”

“Y’know, my friend Garth’s a fabulous babysitter. If I had your number, I could put you two in touch…?”

Lisa sipped her coffee and gazed appreciatively at Charlie’s rack. “That sounds fantastic…” Her gaze slid to Charlie’s nametag. “Charlotte.”

i have to admit idk what it’s even about 🙈

THE LOML

How I feel about this character: She’s literally one of my favorite characters in the show.  She’s so funny and so brave, she’s smart af too (obviously) not only did she break Frank’s coding in like a day, but she also created the hunting program to cross certain creatures off the list of suspects depending on what their mo is.  She’s so selfless even though she pretends not to be, she literally saves the boys multiple times without even thinking about it.  She’s just generally amazing.  I rewatch her episodes constantly because I love her that much.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: hmmmm, honestly anyone that would make my girl happy, but if I had to pick someone it’s probably going to be Gilda bc though they were only onscreen for .0000005 seconds that was enough for my gay ass, OH AND DOROTHY TOO BECAUSE UM YEAH HUNTER WIVES IN OZ

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Well that my friend would be the one and only Dean Winchester.  They are literally perfect best friends, I was instantly sold when chaos bi Dean had to help disaster lesbian Charlie flirt her way around a man.  Also the clothes montage?  They’re also both so nerdy and Dean really lets it loose when he’s around her.  He also wants to be all over-protective of her and she just doesn’t have it because she’s a queen.  He cares about her so much and I am so very soft for them.

My unpopular opinion about this character: idk if it’s unpopular but I don’t think that Apocalypse World Charlie, while it was great to see Felicia again, was a poor substitute for the real Charlie.  Yeah yeah, I get that it was ~supposed~ to feel that way, but it felt like they had to figure out a way to bring her back after such a shitty death and her reappearance never sat right with me.  I just honestly wanted our Charlie back lol

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: that Bucklemming didn’t get their grubby paws on her and kill her in one of the most horrific ways possible for nothing more than shock value.  She didn’t deserve it, her story wasn’t over, and her death was literally just manpain fuel for Dean so he could kill everyone with the Mark.  It’s one of the SPN deaths I’ve never gotten over because it just wasn’t right...it was just bad Bucklemming writing and she didn’t deserve to go out like that.
