Revenge of the Subtext

Author: mittensmorgul, mittenwraith on AO3, @mittensmorgul

Artist: im_the_dean , @im-the-deanartist

Rating: Explicit/NC-17 Word Count: 80k

Summary: Things are finally settling back down to normal since Cas gave up his grace to cure Dean of the Mark. Well, as normal as their lives are allowed to get. Sam relentlessly finds new cases to work, one right after the other; but Dean thinks they need a break to let Cas have some purely human fun, for once. It’s true they had a difficult time readjusting to humanity at first, but Dean thinks Cas deserves to do more than ride around in the back seat and follow them on monster hunts. Then again, Dean’s a little bit scared to ask exactly what Cas would want, just in case it doesn’t include spending quite so much time with him. And with Sam (of course).

Sam’s been tracking a series of odd occurrences in Laramie, Wyoming for the last few weeks that looks just enough like a case to finally convince Dean they should go check it out. Whether they like it or not, the goddess responsible for the weirdness in Laramie takes an immediate interest in the three less-than-perfectly-happy hunters who’ve stumbled into her town.

Summary: Drama and unexpected plot twists are what you sign up for when you decide to work as an actor on a soap opera like ‘Among Us’.

Summary: Dean Winchester, a wiccan in his early 30s, doesn’t have much to live for. He eats, he works, he goes to the bar, he sleeps, and he repeats. All of that changes, though, when he meets a blue-eyed man by the name of Castiel who claims to be a familiar.

Stories from the In Between

Title: stories from the in between

Author: stardustpaths

Artist: femmechester and glaciergrace

Rating: Mature Word Count: 31,290

Summary: When Dean inherits an old house after his grandfather dies it seems like a good opportunity to change something in his uneventful life. But as they say, be careful what you wish for. As soon as he moves in, he discovers that somebody already lives there. Suddenly he has to deal with an unexpected housemate - an imaginary friend with blue hair and a bunch of tattoos. An imaginary friend, who is of course real. Castiel turns Dean’s world upside down and that’s not even the end of surprises - there is a portal between worlds in the basement and a whole new universe to discover on the other side. This may not be the change Dean was looking for, but it might end up being the change he needed.

Artist: rosenmalin

Rating: T Word Count: 20,237

Summary: Castiel Novak is part of the way through his freshman year of college, finally away from his family and finally getting to be his own person. He generally keeps his head down, stays out of the way of other people, but sometimes that can have the opposite effect of what is desired. Because one day he quite literally collides with something that turns his life in a whole new direction once again. There starts an odd friendship with Dean Winchester, and an endless string of coffee dates and little favors and maybe a kiss or two in the rain.

Rating: PG-13 Word Count: 26,196

Summary: Dean Winchester is a detective investigating a sudden bout of cases involving strange occult symbols. Everybody on the force, including him, writes it off as just another crazy guy looking to hurt people. Surely they’ll have this case wrapped up within the week.

But what if magic were real?

When things get out of hand– a bomber, his comatose brother, the fear that he may be going insane– Dean is forced to acknowledge that his world may not be all that it seems.
