Dean/Castiel Installment Post
Let's start off with the PG entries, shall we?
Second Best
It’s not an easy job, being the second most important person in Dean Winchester’s life. But it’s not something Castiel takes lightly, or something that he resents. For a while there, it didn’t seem like the position even existed after John died, and if Cas knew enough pop culture to say “it’s an honour just to be nominated” he’d mean it quite sincerely.
There are things Dean can’t do in front of Sam, ways he can’t be, facts he can’t admit to. Castiel’s job, such as is his honour to perform, is to have no such forbidden zones with Dean. And to support Dean in doing his job as Sam Winchester’s older brother.
Sam would understand the metaphor, even though he’d argue about the order and the details. Dean would deny the whole thing from top to bottom. He just knows that this is his family, and he loves them as much as the word love can contain, enough to strain its boundaries and redefine devotion.
For him, it’s simple.
[Moment Longer]
Let’s Just Sit Here A Moment Longer, Then
There aren’t many quiet moments in Team Free Will’s lives. But maybe on a morning before they challenge an archangel, or when Cas honours their appointment and yanks Dean out of Zach’s mindgames, or Cas has just admitted to fear of returning to the home he’s fought harder than any other angel to save-maybe in moments like those, they’re just a little bit stronger for a moment of human-angel contact.

Five months ago I had a massive artist’s block. I needed better habits, a better frame of mind, better pictures. A friend suggested I do a challenge for a month to get the momentum going, and I decided on D/C and picked up a pen instead of a pencil and went to town. Somehow everything concerned came together and I felt a quantum leap in terms of my headspace and what was happening on paper. I drew for a month, and threw away the erasers. I worked my hardest and forcing that damned sheet of paper to give it up and become a D/C picture.
But I need to be sure I don’t lose that, or even hit a plateau and not move from there. So I’m going to make sure from time to time I do just that-no guide lines, no grids, no erasing, just make that picture be a picture.
So this picture is that, for now. No references, no erasing, no worrying. JUST DRAW.
Cuddle section:
[Tickle]
Dean tries not to separate things into Before The Fall and After, at least not so Cas could tell.
But he’s pretty sure the ticklish thing is new.
[Naptime]
[Bed]
[Bed, WIP]
Sometimes I'm wondering if shading them ruins them. But if I don't shade and I can't colour--they're WIP forever...
[[Naked Cuddling]][My Soul To Keep]
Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep: thy angels watch me through the night, And keep me safe till morning’s light.
The section with the sex acts...

[Medium Is The Message]
You’re not feeling left out, but it’s clear throughout that this is about the two of them, and you’re the lucky woman that stumbled on the right combination of alcohol, bravado, charisma, and innuendo.
So you’re here now, with them, and every inch of your skin that’s not having attention lavished on it right now is coming down from the high of same. All you can do is try not to forget to breathe, because for all this is not about you, they use gestures on your body to say “I love you” and “I will never leave you” to the other.
Loud and clear.

This turned out creepier than it had been in my head. Still--dibs!
[[Wings!}]
[[For Me, I]]
You know that moment in the story where it’s their first time, and Cas is just overwhelmed by the whole thing, and Dean pulls him in even closer and whispers “It’s okay, I got you. Come for me, Cas.”?
Will *not* get out of my head. This is titled For Me #1for that reason.
