the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be a part of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.
Yep. Iâm the mom in her 40s that writes through the night with little bodies pressed in close, when the rest of the house is fast asleep. I brainstorm and/or write at the playground while the kids run and play, while waiting in the car in pick up line, at the library during storytime, in the shower, while making dinner, on walks, at the grocery store⌠it never stops.
I think itâs funny and sad when a younger person learns about how many older folks are in the same fandom spaces as them. Funny because theyâre so innocently taken aback by it, and sad because they thought that there was some magical age where theyâd have to âgrow upâ and couldnât participate anymore.
You donât have to give it up.
You can still love your shows, your ships, and the stories. You donât have to give any of it up unless you want to let it go.

Tags: Miscommunication, Female Castiel (Temporary), Cas Still Uses He/Him Pronouns, Angel/Human Pregnancy, Dean Wants to be a Dad, Some Angst, Domestic Fluff, Love Confessions, Sam Ships It, Town of Lebanon Ships It
Summary: Cas is firmly placed into the âfriend zoneâ by Dean after his possession. With no home in heaven, nor a consistently reliable one on earth, the rejection is one more torment to bear. To ease the ache of unrequited love, he decides to take a page out of the âDean Winchester Playbookâ. There must be something to these âone night standsâ that heâs only ever read about. After taking painstaking measures to find a willing partner, Cas doesnât expect Dean to be the one to sit beside him at the bar, and he most certainly doesnât expect a propositionâŚbut why not him for once? Dean got scared, okay? He couldnât tell Cas how he really felt. But Cas going AWOL yet again, especially after a harrowing half-year of trying to save him from Lucifer, sends Dean over the edge. He goes out for a drink (or two, or ten) and meets a young woman who seems vaguely familiar. They talk, they commiserate, and even though his heart isnât really in it, he offers to sleep with her. Whatâs the harm? Itâs only one night and he doesnât expect to see her ever again. So why has she just walked into the bunker two weeks after they did âthe doâ?

AndâŚâŚ we are live!
I started this story in 2018. When I brushed it off for this bang, I only had about 10k words in a jumbled mess. It kinda blew up into a big thing at almost 100k words and Iâm sad that itâs over. I honestly donât know what to do with myself after pouring so much into it these last few months, losing sleep, becoming a hermit, lol.
A lot of my heart is in this story. There are so many pieces from my life experience woven throughout.
I do want to write a time stamp/epilogue so be sure to subscribe on AO3 if you enjoy the story.
It was a pleasure and honor to team up with @colorlessjay. I am blown away with the artwork. It is beyond what I expected, truly.
My beta, Rachel, was with me for weeks helping to proofread and cheer me on. I donât think I wouldâve had the confidence to post without her suggestions and encouragement. Phew, girl, we made it!
XOXOXO

2025 hot destiel take: I've always believed that Castiel saying "the one thing I want, it's something I know I can't have" isn't some bleak "because Dean doesn't wanna dick Cas down" admission, it's "because, by confessing, the empty will take Cas, there's literally nothing for him to 'have' afterwards." His punishment isn't unrequited love, it's unfinished love. This is why happiness isn't in the having, it's in just saying it. Because it's all he gets. Cas doesn't get sucked into the empty thinking Dean could never love him back, he goes peacefully knowing that he does - that it doesn't matter that they don't get to experience the other side of the confession because confessing was fulfilling enough :')

@colorlessjay is so freaking talented.
Breaking my usual fandom content. I have so much more to say, so many questions, so many ideas. Alas, I am only going to touch on one thought thread.
K-pop Demon Hunters spoilers below.
It's really the unseen that gets you in destiel. First time you see them meet is NOT the first time. Camera panning out to leave them staring at each other in an alley. Prayer every night in purgatory but you don't hear it. Heaven Can't Wait fanfic gap. Everyone knowing so much about Cas but you never see Dean talk about him. Cas' phone screen blown up with calls&texts you can't read. Mentioning the Tombstone watch in the Dean cave that only Cas knows about. Gossiping offscreen about the cardigan. etc
The excruciatingly long stretches of looking at Dean raking leaves, carrying the trenchcoat from car to car. Of waiting for the other to come back from the heavenly war, from captivity. Man, they had so much. So much domesticity, so much yearning, longing to be in contact, to just be with each other, to be safe. To love.
âŚwhen and how Dean made and gave Cas a mixtapeâŚ
Like, holy hell, I still canât believe they had THIS scene where they showed that Cas kept a homemade âDean Winchester Mixtapeâ in his coat right over his heart. And when he tried to return it because he felt unworthy and a bit of an outlier, he unwittingly broke Deanâs bruised heart a little bit.
But never once were we shown the entire process. Never shown the hours it wouldâve taken for Dean to carefully record each song.
Or, how he penned the label with his tongue caught between his lips so he would take his time not to smudge the ink, all neat and tidy.
Or how he mightâve kept it in his pocket for days, waiting for the right time to give it over, and finally, hastily, chucking it over to Cas with sweaty palms and a pretty blush, his sour stomach twisted from nervesâŚ
Or Casâ bafflement over the unexpected gift because angels donât just get gifts, at least not impractical, sentimental ones. (I donât think heâd be surprised that a hardened hunter like Dean made it in the first place because he knows Dean to be the most loving and caring human on earth⌠he would just be bewildered that Dean chose HIM to receive it.)
And never were we shown WHEN. How long had Cas had it? By the time we were made aware of its existence, Cas had been AWOL for a while because we had been watching Dean pace the hallways and bite his nails, waiting for replies to texts and voicemails that were going unanswered. Somewhere in the quiet past, between hunts and apocalypses and fights and separations, Dean missed Cas so much that he lovingly created for him a token of his affections. And Cas just tucked it into his trench coat and carried it with him, a constant reminder of who he was fighting for, the cogs gently clacking inside the plastic housing loud enough for his ears only each time that he moved.
The writers justâPOOFâdropped the echoes of it into the show and let us dream up how it mightâve happened. They didnât have to, they couldâve omitted the mixtape detail completely without otherwise changing the rest of the scene, but they did do it.
I love the negative spaces and the unsaid on this show so much, especially regarding Destiel. Itâs like being an archeologist and uncovering a new artifact, trying to guess what it was used for and by who and how because we donât have videos or diaries from those eras, only the remains and our best guesses.
There are a lot of Casless episodes where his presence is loudest because Deanâs heart bleeds from where it hangs on his sleeve, invisibly tethered to wherever his angel is, to whatever heâs doing, always worrying and pining.

but why does dean's voice actually get 100 times softer every time he asks about cas or calls him or talks to him?? i thought i was imagining it but now i didn't watch spn for a few days and today i watched some episodes of s11 and cas is back in the bunker because of the spell rowena put on him. and each time dean checks on him or just asks sam how cas is doing his voice goes teddy bear quality
This is very, very true. He uses such a tender tone with Cas much of the time, and it carries throughout their entire history together. Not only that, but the way Dean bodily protects Cas (who doesnât need protecting), and finds reasons to touch or caress him ... đĽš
THEY ARE SO SOFT.
I don't think we talk about Cas and his shitty TV shows enough
If Dean is allowed to hyperfixate on cowboy movies, horror Flix, and Dr. Sexy
Then we should let Cas watch the wheel of fortune like the old man that he is
Let Cas text with too many emoticons
Let Cas play candy crush while Dean sleeps on him
Cas is old man energy and I love him for it
And Dean would totally [secretly] love the old man crap that Cas watches, too.
