Hey guys, wow I haven't posted in forever even though I've been checking my f-list every day and watching season 9. Dean's plot is getting so intense and yet I haven't seen many fics about it, so I decided to start a comment meme to hopefully help people get into it and come up with ideas for fics & other fanworks.
Dean has a mytharc! Let's celebrate by exploring his character with fics and art!
some guidelines:
- Your prompts and fills should be Dean centric. They can include pairings and other characters, but the focus should be on Dean. Gen prompts are also encouraged.
- I'm hoping this meme will encourage fics about s9!Dean, but prompts and fills from any point in/before/after canon are welcome!
- Any type of fanwork is welcome: fanfiction, fanart, fanvids, etc!
- Anonymous commenting is on, so you don't need a livejournal to participate. You can prompt or fill anonymously, and you can link to your tumblr or AO3 or elsewhere if that's where you prefer to post your fanworks.
- Warn for spoilers and triggers! If your prompt or fill contains spoilers for a recent episode or triggers such as suicide, self-harm, non-con, etc., warn for this in the subject line.
- Prompts and fills can be as long or short as you want. Even a fic of 100 words is an awesome contribution.
- When you fill a prompt, put "FILLED" in the subject line of your comment.
- Don't be an asshole. Some negativity toward the show is okay but let's not make it the overwhelming atmosphere here, please. And of course, no rudeness or wank toward other prompters or fillers.
- It would be super awesome if you could promote this, so we'll get more prompts and fills. You can reblog the post on tumblr or post the banner to your journal.

Mark me down as a 'no' by
sweetcornjesus | prompt: "Something dealing with Dean's alcoholism in s9. Or with Dean's alcoholism post-series. Orrrr with Dean's alcoholism at any point in time."
Wake Up by anonymous | prompt: "Turns out the Mark of Cain has some physical effects. It makes him stronger and makes him feel less pain. But it pumps him full of adrenaline so that he is always feeling wired and anxious and can never sleep. The only way he can really calm himself down and get some rest is with alcohol. He tries to hide these effects from Sam."
Carousel by anonymous | prompt: "I'd love to get an in depth look at how Dean felt during his time with Magnus in 9x16, and maybe after too. Gen preferred, but a pairing is okay too."
Axiomatic by anonymous | prompt: "How did Dean wind up on the floor with Gadreel after interrogating him in 9x18? What was going through his mind when Sam found him? How long had he been sitting there like that?"
and the forests will echo with laughter by
kalliel | prompt: "As Dean spends more time apart from the blade since holding it for the first time, he begins to notice his moodiness and amped up aggression, but can't ever seem to do anything about it. And then he goes a little too far while on a case..."
Instructions by
kalliel | prompt: "Dean has (alcohol induced?) hallucinations of Mary coming to see what's become of him."

When You Break by
gaelicspirit (recced by
jj1564) | prompt: "How did Dean wind up on the floor with Gadreel after interrogating him in 9x18? What was going through his mind when Sam found him? How long had he been sitting there like that?"
Method by
kalliel | prompt: "Tonight's episode featured a girl named Annie. Draw parallels between her life and Dean's. How many time did John Winchester use him as a lure? Pretty little sixteen year old waiting to be picked up or picked off. And Dean so terrified of disappointing him."
Our Dean by
i_speak_tongue | prompt: "Sam and Castiel talk about Dean and how worried they are about him. Because we're not getting enough of that in the show, like, ever. :/"
Reverse Weave by anonymous | prompt: "Dean and Crowley: How do they really feel about each other? Are each of them only letting the other live because of their plans for Abbadon or have they found some new respect/friendship/any kind of feelings other than hatred between them?"
Ghost Medicine by
indiachick | prompt: "beekeeper!Dean: After the hunting world's only apiculturalist and her bees fall victim to hellfire arson, Dean enlists Cain's help one more time. This this time, he doesn't have a choice but to pay attention to the warning label."
Away With Us by
anactoria | prompt: "Post-S9, Dean is still marked by the fae as their own, and with the mark gone, they are starting to take an interest again."
This meme is now CLOSED! Thank you so much to everyone who participated!
