This is that artist AU I’ve been mentioning! Basically, Castiel is an designer/painter for props and backdrops in early film in 1931. Despite his success in this career, he is forced to hire an apprentice to pass on his skill for the future of the business. Having no luck in finding a replacement, he takes to working with a blue-collar worker with little knowledge of art but a passion for film. From a rocky start they form an unlikely friendship, (and maybe a little bit more than that.) This is a fic I’ve been writing for a while called Honest Man’s Way, hope you like it!
