Turn the World to Gold by Teacass + Superhoney

Just as Dean is starting to get comfortable at his new mining job in Nevada, the site is shaken by the announcement of a six-week visit from a team of consultants hired to make changes to the practices and procedures of the mine. Among that team is Castiel Novak, one of the most coolly infuriating, stuck-up, unfairly attractive men Dean has ever met.

The friction between them comes to a head during an unexpected but scorching hot makeout session at a company picnic, and they soon fall into a pattern of hooking up at the site or after work at Castiel’s hotel. But it’s just sex, or so they keep telling themselves. Castiel is only in Nevada for six weeks. They’ll have their fun, and then it’ll be over. But as those six weeks go by and they gradually get to know each other, both of them find themselves wondering if there might be a chance it could become something more.

For this year's @deancaspinefest​, I was lucky enough to get to create some art for the lovely Teacass & Superhoney! Turn the World to Gold is gloriously piney, and I struggled to find just one moment to illustrate. My shortlist had about twenty scenes listed in the end... as you can see, I managed to whittle that list down to five.

Go read it now--and don’t forget to comment! ♥

Pairings: Dean/Cas (Sam/Eileen)

Warnings: canon divergent, canon-typical violence

Dean rarely visits the bunker. He knows Sam’s got enough people to spend time with in there, even though they’re all just a bunch of librarians. But then a hunt goes wrong, Dean breaks a leg, and is forced to stay with his brother and all his new research buddies while he recuperates. Soon it turns out it wouldn’t be half as bad if it weren’t for Sam’s constant nagging, all the boring nerd duties they put him on, and the annoyingly good-looking new guy who seems to know exactly how to get under Dean’s skin.

A story diverging after season 2 in which Sam doesn’t get stabbed and instead moves into the bunker to become a modern Man of Letters, Dean doesn’t sell his soul for him but continues to hunt, while Cas is not an angel but still pulls Dean out of hell. Not literally, though.

Thank youuu<3 And Charlie is all yours 

This is for @teacass I didn’t get the idea until you told me I should write it. Inspired by this post Thanks to @ozonecologne for giving it a quick look over :D

Dean steps out of the Impala and grabs the package he just picked up from the PO Box he and Sammy have in town. He is still amazed that they get to have that now. A reliable place to have things delivered. He is particularly excited about this package, though. It was something he saw Cas sighing at wistfully a few weeks ago while puttering around on the internet. It was this really unique table lamp that was shaped like a beehive, cut hexagons out of wood that let out a nice warm light. Dean had noticed that Cas really hadn’t done much to make his room his yet, so he figured why not help him along with something that would really fit and that he obviously wanted.

Dean finds Cas in the library as per usual. He sets the box down in front of him and takes the seat next to him. Cas just looks up at the box then at Dean and raises an eyebrow.

Dean rolls his eyes. “Just open it Cas.”

Cas puts down his book - How To Make Your Plants Happy - and just holds his hand out. Dean startles a bit then pulls a knife out of his pocket and plops it into Cas’s hand.

Cas opens the package methodically, taking his time, unwrapping everything carefully. By the time Cas sets the lamp on the table Dean is a strong mixture of excited and nervous. Cas hasn’t made one noise since he started.

Cas looks up from the lamp right at Dean. Dean is shocked, there are unfallen tears in Cas’s eyes.

“I’m sorry buddy I thought…” Dean started

Cas just shakes his head. “No, Dean, you misunderstand. I believe these are what you would call tears of joy. No one has ever given me a gift like this.” Cas looks to the lamp, brushes his fingers along the edge and back to Dean. “Thank you, Dean. It’s beautiful.”

Dean rubs the back of his neck, getting redder by the second. “It’s no big deal Cas, I just thought you would enjoy it. It seemed like you liked it when you saw it a couple weeks ago.”

They stare at each other for an undetermined amount of time before the sound of a throat clearing surprises them both.

“Hey guys, what’s goin’ on?” Sam asks with a smirk.

“Nothing, Sammy.”

“Dean gave me this lovely lamp,” They manage to say at the same time.

Sam just chuckles. “It’s a nice lamp, Cas. Good choice, Dean”.

“Yeah, whatever.”

Dean turns to Cas.“Let’s go set this up in your room.” Cas picks up the lamp reverently and follows Dean out of the library. Sam shakes his head and pretends not to notice the arm going around Cas’s shoulders.
