#gabe is fun to write

“So,” said Cas sternly. “You are the detective, Gabriel Archer?”

He only needed a wig and he’d make a formidable judge, looking down his nose like that. Dean swiftly stamped on the thought. But Cas would be so hot, sitting up in a high chair all pompous and judgy. He’d find Dean guilty of all kinds of naughty things. Jesus - where was this coming from? A reaction to the fear?

Dean pinched himself hard and tried to focus.

“And you’re Alpha Castiel Novak, spouse of the delectable Dean.”

Cas growled. “Mrs Novak to you.”

“Oh, no, not with our long acquaintance. And before you get to the inevitable unpleasantness of accusing my good self of having anything to do with the attempt on your delightful wife’s life, let me just say this - I have an alibi.”

“Really,” said Cas.

“Yes. An alibi. It means ‘elsewhere,’ you know.”

“I’m aware of that. Tell us of your whereabouts then - everything you have done today up until Mrs Novak’s incident.”

“Not everything.”

“Everything.”

“Oh. Well, here goes. I was awoken early by the wandering hand of the fair Miss Margaret Masters, who had blessed me with her delectable company throughout the night, and when I say blessed-”

Dean giggled. But Cas was still in granite-hard mode.

“That’s enough of that. You were with Miss Masters this morning.”

“Yes, and once we’d completed our morning’s, let’s say constitutional, she also served me a late breakfast in the small back parlour of the Oystershell. The service at that fine establishment really is top quality.” The mischievous eyebrows waggled.

“What time did you leave the pub?”

“Oh, about half past ten, I think. The patrons that I passed in the public bar will verify that.”

“And then?”

“Then I spent a very pleasant half hour or so perusing the wares of Bridgerton’s.”

“The sweet shop.”

“The very same. Mrs Bridgerton was most attentive and very generous with her samples.”

Cas rolled his eyes. “And then?”

“Why then, on passing the haberdasher’s, I happened to notice my young friend here, and so I went in to renew our acquaintance.”

Cas huffed. “And after your visit to Miss Amelia’s?”

“I retired to the Oystershell, where I joined in with the lively company. Until I was summoned to your fair presence. Just when I was on a winning streak, too. So, it wasn’t me. Not guilty. Can I go now?”

“No,” said Cas. “I would still like an explanation for your presence in the village.”

“I don’t owe you an explanation. I’ve done nothing wrong.”

“If you’re investigating me, I have a right to know.”

“No you don’t. Not unless I do something illegal. Which I haven’t.”

Cas sat forward in his chair, his tense fingers digging into the arms. “Did Ketch hire you? Because if so, you could be an accessory to an attempted murder.”

Gabriel continued to loll on the couch. “As I told your wife, I don’t know who’s paying my bills.”

“Were you asked to keep Dean out of the way today?”

Gabe paused. “No. I haven’t had any instructions recently. My employer has gone radio silent.”

“Then you should leave the area. Go back to the city where you belong.”

“No. Because I was paid up to the end of the month. So I think I’ll stay. Besides, I’ve come to like your little Deano. I wouldn’t want anything to happen to him.”

wolves & ghosts (pt. 3/?)

david - there the whole time

pt. 2 // <1k words

(TW: death, ghosts, illness)

—————————————

For years, David was haunted by a wisp taking the form of a skeleton.

When he was very young, he couldn’t put to words what he was seeing. He’d squeeze his teary eyes shut and turn away in horror, the little vocabulary he possessed locked behind his clenched teeth.

Always present for these spells, Gabe would urge him to speak, the soft rumble of his voice cracking with worry. But David never could.

As he grew older, he became almost accustomed to the wisp’s presence around his dad. Fear’s tight hand would still snake around David’s neck, but the ghastly sight no longer sent him spiraling. So long as he looked away, he could maintain his composure.

It wasn’t until David was thirteen that he was able to look at the wisp for more than a second.

~

David was sick. Really sick. It was something working through him so quickly that the healers could barely keep up. He’d been in Dahlia’s Hospital for Empowered Youth for almost a week, sinking in and out of a delirious consciousness.

On the sixth day, his fever broke. The unsettling chill of his sweat roused him. He blinked blearily against the light of early morning that was trickling in through the window and painting the room indigo.

Pain flashed in his throat as he tried to swallow. Desperate for something to drink, he shifted his aching head to the right, then to the left.

Gabe was sitting beside him, slouched over in a small plastic chair. One of his arms was propped on the arm rest, his hand covering his face. David couldn’t tell if he was awake or not.

He almost called out for him, but was cut short when he noticed the bony hand on Gabe’s shoulder.

David’s eyes flicked up and, for once, he didn’t have the strength to look away.

In the first moment, he saw what he always had in every glimpse prior—a silver skeletal specter. But as he continued to stare, David realized what he was actually seeing:

Whispers of hair clung to the top of her head. The sharp angles of her face were covered with a thin layer of skin, stretched tight over the bone. And her eyes, sunk deep into their sockets, were cast downward as she gazed at Gabe.

Despite her sickly appearance, she looked familiar, like a dream. Like a faded senior portrait tucked inside a wallet. Like an out-of-focus face in a home video. Like a tender smile floating in his memory.

His lower lip began to tremble. She’d been there the whole time, all those years? David raised his hand with as much strength as he could find.

“Mom?”

She didn’t look towards him, but Gabe’s head shot up at the sound of his son’s weak whisper.

“Oh thank goodness,” he breathed in relief, grasping David’s outstretched hand, believing he was reaching for him.

David blinked and the wisp was gone, her afterimage rapidly fading from his vision.

He wanted to tell his dad what he had seen—what he’d been seeing most of his life—but he couldn’t. Though this time, it wasn’t for lack of words or the halting effects of fear.

David didn’t know why, having no knowledge of wisps, but the unrelenting dread in his stomach told him to not tell anyone, especially Gabe. Somehow he knew that if he did, bad things would follow. David chose to protect him.

~

The final time he saw the wisp was a few weeks before Gabe died. Sometimes David thinks that maybe if he had known then, he would have tried to talk to her, or finally tell his dad.

But Gabe died never knowing.

Or maybe he did. Gabe sometimes caught David’s gaze lingering just to the side of him, his eyes wistful and haunted. David could tell he was curious but Gabe never said anything. Perhaps he understood what was going on and also knew better than to ask.

Ultimately, David didn’t know what Gabe had known. David didn’t know if the figure was really his mom or some figment of his imagination or some sort of projected grief from Gabe.

The only thing David knew was this: once his dad was gone, the visions of his mom were gone too.

Jaskier recently started living on campus at Oxenfurt University. Studying liberal arts is his first step in becoming an artist. He struggles, not with his work, grade-wise, but concentrating has never proved harder when he sees his history professor for the first time.

Geralt soon finds out that this might be, in the few years he's been teaching at Oxenfurt, the smartest student he's ever taught. He's as annoyed as he is impressed.

Their bond grows when they set up a plan together to improve the academy's assessments.

Neither of them expect their lives to become so complicated in the span of only a few months.

Mary (Immortal Desires MC): *complains most of the time that Terri cares about her job more and left her behind for just to get 'some degree.'*

Also Mary: My mother is a doctor. Not some teeth doctor or some boob doctor. A real doctor.

Terri: 😩 😒

Cas and Gabe: 😀

[whoblewboobear]

Soooo Cas canonically has a car and in my mind it’s a pickup truck bc I think it suits them. Sometimes Gabe and Mc fight over who gets the passenger seat and who gets to ride in the back. I think they probably bully Cas into taking them on late night diner trips in neighboring towns and Gabe would 100% offer to drive if Cas isn’t feeling up to it. They refuse every time even though they secretly appreciate the sentiment. Mc definitely notices the little smile Cas tries to hide after Gabe asks and makes a mental note to tease them about it later.

Also. Not related but kind-of related, I do love the idea that everyone who knows Vendetta knows that ne is a massive troll at times. So every obvious song they pick to sing at karoake is just examined for the double-meanings and reasons why, because Ven is a troll! There's always reason ne is a little shit!

But Vendetta is sincerely oblivious about the songs ne picks. The only thing ne cares about is that it's fun to sing. uwu <3

Just posted another short fic on AO3! It’s called “Conversations Behind Closed Doors” and you can read it here. :)

Summary:

Displeased with Ian's lack of progress on the rhythm defibrillator project, Edega calls him into his office, and presents him with an ultimatum.

Based on an idea my friend @nightmun and I were talking about of Edega threatening Ada’s career to force Ian to do what he wants. Bastard man

4, 29 + 43 for the OC ask? c:

evening gabe!!! thank you for the asks!

4. A character you rarely talk about?

on tumblr or irl??? because those are Very different answers. actually wait i just realized thats definitely a lie because i remembered my beloved little guys, matthew, maria, and miguel. thats three characters but theyre a set pair to me so! their story is set in an urban fantasy world, and the three of them are siblings. matthew (the youngest) inherited his parents company that specializes in combining magic and tech for advancements. maria, the middle child, broke off from the family business after an argument when she was about 15 years old. she started running her own plant shop after that, a very small one that has no interest in growing bigger. then theres miguel, who ran away from his family at 17 and was completely missing until he reappeared at 26 bloodied on marias doorstep. i Love their concept dearly, honestly the only reason i havent talked about them at all is bcs i just,,, dont know what to say?? i havent really gotten anything about them figured out other than their designs and the vague blurb of their plot. i might revisit them though, theyre a lot of fun.

29. Which one of your OCs would go investigate an abandoned house at night without telling anyone they’re going?

tumelo literally does this exact thing at some point. and its over a Jacket 💀 shes one of my characters for the ttrpg "the urban legend club", a paranormal investigator whos intimate knowledge of the paranormal (to the point she seems almost familiar with it, hmmm wonder what thats about) helps aid the rest of the club in solving various mysteries that crop up. shes also the founder of the club! tumelo isnt impulsive, per se, but she Is stubborn as hell, and once she gets a whiff of a mystery shes going after it. at the point in time where she sneaks into the abandoned building, she had been prescribed bedrest by her very worried moms and club members because she passed out after the first investigation everybody did as a team. after hearing everybodys accounts of what happened, though, she formed a theory about the strange happenings going on in there and snuck out to confirm her suspicions herself. she was Right, but she couldnr even prove it, so uh. rip girl lmfaooo 😭

43. Do you have any certain type when you create your OCs? Do you tend to favour some certain traits or looks? It’s time to confess

i am almost Certain that there is, i just cannot for the life of me figure out what. actually wait. in a lot of my original stories, the characters i tend to go the most insane over usually have this Big Bad Secret that pivots the way every other character sees them in the future. its really fun for me personally, i think, to play around with a character dancing around something, and to see what sort of tells (if at all) a character has that gives away the secret that slip under other characters radars. i also really love seeing the fallout in a) the reveal of the secret, and b) the fact that a character has been hiding said secret from them the entire time. it adds so much spice to how said character interacts with everybody later on. as for traits, i do love me a little shit smooth talker. also i like it when a character has, in some shape or form, genuinely been cruel, harmful, or otherwise "evil" (for lack of better word), regardless of their very same capacity to do good. very funky, i love it dearly.

oh wait actually one more trait that they all share: none of them have last names. bcs fuck that what do you Mean i have to come up with another name????? after i already did the first??????? cruel and evil.

questions from here!

Not My Magical Destiny

Welcome one and all to my most recent self-created brainrot!! I have had this idea cooking for months and my creative writing class has given me the perfect avenue/inspiration for it. So, enjoy!

Kodi is a humble college student working at a bakery. Well, when their deferral is up they’ll be a student again. Their best friend Gabriel has been missing for a few weeks and Kodi has heard next to nothing from him, save one-word texts answering their messages. Finally, he shows up at the bakery, spouting tales of a magical world under their feet and above their head. He’s a key part of it in ways Kodi can barely stomach to think about; it would make them sick to their stomach if Gabe got hurt. 

How will Kodi deal with this revelation and the consequences of their best friend’s actions?

Interesting Thought About Debriel & Castiel When It Comes To Parenthood

Debriel is the kind of couple that would have this huge, really long conversation of parent roles and how they're gonna do this thing before ever trying to procreate. Whereas with Sastiel, Cas would just randomly appear in front of Sam in his female form, wearing lace lingerie under her trench coat and demand they consimate their relationship.

Despite all of this, chances are Fem!Dean (yes, I said, Dean) would get pregnant first. One, because Gabriel knows exactly what he's doing. And, two, because Fem!Cas' ovaries are antisocial as fuck. (Also, Sam's small penis might also be a factor, who knows.)
