Title: Game On Author: grumpyphoenix Artist: A Diamond Rating: Teen Length: 6.4k Pairings: Dean/Castiel Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

On a whim, Dean Winchester buys a strange, old-style gaming console at a flea market with a game left inside it. From the sketchy blond guy with the lollipop who sold it to him, to the strange glowing runes on the side, something weird is going on.

Soon, Dean is dedicated to beating the game to break the strange creature trapped within: An angel named Castiel.

I did a thing! It’s the first thing I’ve done in a long time because of falling into a depression hole for about the last year, and it’s not writing - which is still a real struggle for me - but it’s a creative Dean/Cas outlet and it got this utterly adorable fic as part of the Dean/Cas Reverse Bang! Please go love on it!

2019 Masterpost

Thank you to all our wonderful participants for another smol and sweet round! Please check out all the wonderful art and stories produced for the 2019 edition of the Dean/Cas Smol Things Challenge.

A Little Night Music by blue_morning

“What the fuck is that racket?” Dean sits up in bed so suddenly that Meredith, Cas’s cat, goes skittering off their bed and regroups at the door, giving Dean the evil eye before stalking out of the room and down the bunker’s hallway.
Cas tilts his head and listens for a second. “Hyla versicolor. Eastern Gray Tree Frog.” He goes back to reading his book, absent-mindedly sliding his reading glasses up his nose.

Cupid’s Bees by livinginthequestion

Dean unexpectedly meets a bee. It turns out better than it might have.
Five times Dean found a button, and one time he lost it.

Finders Keepers by sconesandtextingandmurder

Ahead of him, although the stretch of road was straight and flat, the motorcycle swerved. It was quick and violent, sudden enough that Dean worried he would lose his balance and tip over. He stepped on his own brake pedal in response, watching as the motorcycle slowed down. Confused, Dean searched the road ahead of him for some sort of debris. He could see something up ahead, small and light against the rain-soaked pavement. Nonetheless, he continued to slow, keeping one eye on the motorcycle which had turned around and was heading back.

Growing Closer by TobytheWise with art by foxymoley

After Dean eats some cake from a witch who’s obsessed with Alice in Wonderland, he wakes up “fun-size”. It’ll take Cas and Sam finding the witch’s tea to turn him back. After dressing in cowboy Ken doll’s clothes (complete with chaps and a cowboy hat) Dean catches a ride in Cas’ pocket. Which leads to hidden discoveries, confessions, personal growth, and of course, actual-real-life growing too.

Jitterbuzz by a_diamond

Dean visits Cas at his new coffee stand job and has strong feelings about the uniform—or lack thereof.

Mini-Mish (Art) by BeesAreAwesome

Castiel stars as Ashley J Williams, taken from the mini-Ash scene from Army of Darkness.

Peter Rabbit by NavajoLovesDestiel with art by dmsilvisart

When Dean saves a baby bunny, he never expected to find the love of his life.

Ruffing the Passer by superhoney

Dean’s team is gearing up for the playoffs, but it’s hard to focus on football practice when the field is covered in puppies.
Their blue-eyed handler might be even more of a distraction, though.

Ages ago @alxdiamond told me about these awesome pins someone was Kickstarting and made an offhand comment about Dean wearing the bisexual cowboy hat. I drew a quick sketch that I just couldn’t leave unfinished. One thing led to another and I ended up drawing Cas as well.

After I’d shown Diamond the drawing, I got this beautiful gem of a fic in return, inspired by my drawing of Dean❤️

It’s summer, and that means all sorts of things: ice cream, bare skin, sunsets, and of course, weddings! Please enjoy this collection of some of our favourite wedding fics– if you’re stuck at one you don’t want to attend, lose yourself here instead!

Summary: Sam’s too busy to pick up Sarah’s engagement ring from the jeweler’s. 
Enter Dean. He minds just a little, and then not at all.

Summary: Sam and Jess are getting married and Dean couldn’t be any happier for them. Honestly, they’re kind of disgustingly perfect for each other and Dean’s pretty damn excited about staying with them the week before the wedding. He’s Sam’s best man, of course, and he doesn’t even mind that Jess has her own best man to share in all the organisational duties. The more the merrier, right?
Except Dean must have done something to epically piss off the universe because Jess’s best man just happens to be Castiel friggin’ Novak. He’s got even hotter since High School, but apparently no friendlier and if Cas wants to spend the week pretending like they’ve never met before? Fine. Two can play at that game.

Summary: Dean reels. “Since when do you have email?” he demands. “What is it, hotwings@gmail.com?”
Cas ignores him. “We’ve been invited to a wedding.”

Summary: Castiel Novak never believed in love at first sight, but when he accidentally crashes a wedding trying to keep his brother out of trouble, it happens to him. Happy ending, right? Yeah, except that the man he falls for just happens to be the groom.

Summary: Cas, his best friend, ex-kinda-angel, ex-god, not boyfriend. Cas, the guy that Dean is allowed to kiss whenever he wants. Cas, the guy who texts him dumb pictures with emoji’s whenever he’s out on his own. Cas, the guy who steals Dean’s clothes out of his laundry and then whines that they smell. Cas, the guy who hogs the blankets and makes him laugh and cannot use the toaster oven to save his life. Cas, the one guy who’s always had his back, always made him feel safe, no matter what.
Cas…Dean’s breath stutters for a second as a thought runs through his head. Cas, the guy he wants to spend the rest of his life with.

Summary: At first, Sam was just amused by the fact that Dean had a tendency to make out drunkenly with his best friend at wedding receptions. Then the two became housemates, and Sam was a little worried that their habit would make things awkward. Then things got really weird.

Summary: Dean’s been avoiding Sam and Jess all night. He feels like shit for it, they are the couple of the evening after all, but he’s afraid they’re going to want to meet his date. The date he absolutely doesn’t not have.

Summary: Dean is a waiter in a strip club to put his kid brother through school. Castiel is dragged to the club as a part of his sister Anna’s bachelorette party. Dean and Cas hit it off, but Dean thinks Cas is the one marrying Anna.

Plus One by ceeainthereforthat

Summary: Castiel Novak might have to attend three weddings in two months, but he’s not about to let his brother play matchmaker. His family’s Internet streaming company is too important to let a relationship steal his time, but he knows exactly what to do–hire someone to pretend to be his boyfriend.
Dean Winchester has worked five-star hospitality long enough to know how to fit in with Castiel’s crowd, and this job could score him the connections to make his acting career take off. It’s a business deal, no matter how they’re drawn to each other. When the lines of their contract start to blur into real feelings, can they withstand Castiel’s family and jealous fans working to split them up?

Summary: Dean had just expected to tag along to Sam and Jess’ cake tasting for their wedding and get free food. That’s it. The last thing that he’d been prepared for was to meet a ridiculously attractive blue-eyed baker with messy hair and rusty people skills who he’d almost immediately start falling for, but sometimes those things just happen.

Summary: “So, um…basically, it’s this… I need you to marry me. For plot.”
Castiel stares at him.
“What?” Dean asks, rubbing the back of his neck uncomfortably.
“I cannot believe gay marriage came to Moondoor before a significant part of America.”

Am I the only that thinks Bucky is going to be the more lighthearted one of the two in the Falcon and Winter Soldier series, cause bro:

Sam looks so annoyed in every scene with Bucky. In this gif, he’s stressed, the “I left my oven on and I’m pretty sure that’s my building burning in the distance” kind of stressed and BUCKY LOOKS LIKE AN ACQUAINTANCE HAPPILY JOGGING ALONG AS UNWELCOME MORAL SUPPORT AND IT SEEMS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THEM. Even when they’re fighting Peter, Bucky doesn’t grow more frustrated he’s kind of just like, “Damn,” and Sam is like, “mOTHERFUC-”

These situations are among the worst Sam has ever been in.

Bucky? Shit, any day Nazis are not electrocuting him is a fucking great day.

PLAYING HOUSE

AAAAAH! Okay, so, this is my art for @alxdiamond’s fic for @deancastropefest! I had an absolute blast making this and am enjoying playing with traditional media lately. This fic was a wonderful read, and with all the leather and the mobsters and detective work, I was feeling a black and white vibe and felt it would complement her work best that way.

Title: Playing House Author: @alxdiamond Artist: @feathergrave Rating: Explicit Length: 25,568 Pairings: Dean/Cas Warnings: Dubcon spanking (coercion from a third party to Dean/Cas) Tropes: Pretend Couple/Fake Relationship, Undercover in a (Leather) Gay Bar

2002, Chicago.

When Detective Dean Winchester arrests the wrong scumbag and gets on the wrong side of a vengeful deputy commissioner, he gets hit with what should be a career-ending blow: a forced transfer to the universally maligned wiretap room. It’s the joke of the Chicago PD, the basement where fuck-ups go to wait out death or retirement. He’s determined to make his work still count, but first he has to earn the trust of the jaded and paranoid guys already down there.

His chance to accomplish both comes sooner and weirder than expected, when he and Novak, the worst of them, get paired for an impromptu, unsanctioned undercover operation in a leather bar. That quickly escalates into an impromptu, unsanctioned undercover operation in the very heart of the mob where they have to fish for incriminating evidence, play nice with the scion of the crime family, and pretend to be a deeply devoted, deeply kinky couple.

The problems? They barely have any contact with their bare-bones team, the mobster Novak has to work for is a volatile murderer with his eye on Dean, and the kink isn’t entirely pretend.

Title: Shadow and Storm Author: zaphodsgirl Artist: whichstiel Rating: Mature Length: 36416 Pairings: Dean/Cas (Garth/Beth, Jesse/Cesar, Donna/Charlie, John/Mary) Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Tropes: Fantasy AU, Animal Transformation

Summary: One night, a mysterious visitor appears in young Prince Dean’s bedroom, and he suddenly finds himself transported to an abandoned replica of his home in an unknown land. He learns quickly that the borders are finite, and none may leave without incurring the wrath of the guardian: a dragon the people call Storm.

Left with no choice, Dean adapts to life as the others have, tending to the animals and working the land to survive. As he grows up, the life he knew as a prince seems more and more distant, until a new person arrives that he remembers from his childhood. Shaken by this arrival, Dean’s desire to escape returns anew, and he discovers more than he wanted to know about the Shadowlands and its occupants – especially about the mysterious guardian of the castle, Castiel.
