Dean/Castiel Big Bang Masterpost
in your frail gesture are things which enclose me
Author: an_ardent_rain
Artist: stormseye
Fandom/Genre: SPN - AR! character exploration! romance! a tiny bit of angst!
Pairing(s): Dean/Castiel (the fic is very Castiel-centric, though)
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~27K
Warnings: Some bad language, drug use, sexual situations (which include very light themes of dominance/submission)
Disclaimer: I do not own and am no in no way affiliated with Supernatural. This is for fun and I'm making no profit. Also I do not own my title, because it is a line from e.e. cummings.
Summary: [goes AR after - or technically during - 7x01] Cas gets the god juice sucked out of him and, apart from that pesky little human now problem, looks like he's got a bright future ahead of him. But wandering away from the Winchesters leaves him without support and he finds himself floundering. He makes his way to the city of angels and falls into a careless, dissolute stupor - echoes of a collapsed future in every pill he pops. He turns to writing as a release and, realizing he's tired of being miserable, gets himself into rehab. Fast forward to a successful first novel, and a person from his past that he'd never thought he would see again...
Acknowledgements: First off, a huge, huge thanks to everyone involved with this. My artist, stormseye, deserves praise and confetti and just oodles of thanks and accolades for creating beautiful art to go with this story. This is the first big bang that I've participated in, and I am so pleased with what's come about. So go check out the art BECAUSE IT IS AWESOME. Also a thanks for putting up with me, because I am a scatter brained mess and probably not easy to work with because I'm always at the last minute when it comes to deadlines. Also to the two alpha readers: wandersfound and icklekins (acciodestiel @ tumblr). You guys were so super helpful at finding the big things: the plotholes, helping me curb my eternal tendency for melodrama, and I can't tell you how much easier it was to finish with your help! And, of course, to my beta-reader geckoholic who was nice enough and patient enough to get this thing looked over! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it; you pointed out a lot of little fiddly things that I hadn't noticed and the story is so much cleaner for it. And anyone on my f-list or tumblr who listened to my whining and flailing about this - I appreciate that, too! XD
THE FIC:
Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four | ART POST
PDF | PDF w/ ART | AO3
EDIT (29 June 2012): Okay, oops. I'm now aware - though clearly I should have been sooner - that the download links for the PDFs no longer work. I am getting to that! Really I am. In the meantime, you can download it from AO3. Sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for continued interest in the story! I'm actually sort of incredibly proud that people still read it, ha ha.
