The Reel Deal  |  Teen and Up |  31,340

Author: TwinOne  |  Artist: KitShay

Dean has always had a plan. Study hard, find a job, fall in love, and live life to the fullest. The first two worked out well for him, but falling in love has been a pain in the ass. His roommate’s obnoxious prattling about his online boyfriend is not helping Dean feel any better.

Then, on Valentine’s Day, a handsome blue eyed stranger knocks on his door and throws himself into Dean’s arms, hugging him like a long lost lover. Dean has no fucking clue who this man is but he’ll take the hug no questions asked.

When the man calls him “Aaron” though, he instantly knows something is very, very wrong.

Wouldn’t It Be Nice |  E  |  74,668

Author: Casloveshisfreckles | Artist: KitShay

Dean Winchester is living his best life. Content and thriving as a private chef in the Hampton’s for a prestigious couple, Chuck and Naomi Novak, and their son Michael. Asked back for his fourth summer in a row, Dean’s more than ready to tackle his daily to-do lists to keep his kitchen stocked and his meals fresh. With a paycheck good enough to cover Sam’s tuition and room and board included, Dean thinks he’s got it made, another easy summer doing what he loves best, cooking.

Until the Novak’s youngest son Castiel shows up and turns everything upside down. Sure, Dean has no trouble navigating a kitchen, but when it comes to a carefree, handsome wild card and matters of the heart, he may lose all sense of direction.

Whatever Makes You Happy |  Explicit |  27, 629

Author: Rex_Writes 

Artist: KitShay 

An aspiring songwriter, Dean Winchester spends his days in the local coffee shop, which just happens to be run by the most gorgeous man he has ever seen, Castiel Novak. This gorgeous man becomes his muse, songs flow out of Dean’s pen with the speed of a rushing river. Unfortunately, just like getting his songs heard, Castiel is just another thing Dean can’t have. He’s had his heart broken by a straight guy before and he can’t go through that again. Thankfully, Dean meets Lee Webb who is an amazing singer, AND he’s actually interested in Dean.  Will Dean stay with the man who’s a sure thing or will he risk everything for whatever makes him happy?

Books, Pies, and Roommates

Author: seidenapfel | Artist: Kit Shay

Posting on Sunday March 17

Everything seemed so easy when Castiel landed a job in Lawrence as a literature professor at Kansas University. He even found a place to stay with his cousin in Topeka, less than thirty miles away. But the daily commute quickly gets on his nerves and he begins looking for a little room in town. When he finally lucks out on a house, it comes with a catch. His mysterious landlord/housemate works and lives in Topeka during the week, and will only be in Lawrence for the weekend while Castiel is back at his cousin’s to honor a promise he made. When Dean walks into his favorite pie shop, the new sales assistant takes his breath away. Steve is gorgeous, and part of the owner’s family. Dean doesn’t even mind that Steve picks up Gabriel’s stupid moniker for him. After all, Deano has one syllable more, and Dean will do anything to hear Steve’s voice just a little bit longer. Though, as breathtaking Steve might be, he isn't Angel. If only Dean's book-loving best friend for over a decade weren't a mystery in himself — a guy who Dean has only met online, but who has slowly taken his heart away. And it seems that Dean isn't alone in his feelings. When the lines blur and fantasies merge three guys into one, disappointment and heartbreak seem to be inevitable.

Keep reading for a sneak preview!

“Dude! You did what?”

“I found you a new roommate,” Sam explained and Dean knew his brother was rolling his eyes. “As you asked me to.”

“Yeah, I heard you,” Dean muttered. “And well, I did, but duh? Did you take the first one that came along?

The silence at the other end of the line was enough of an answer.

“Seriously? The first one? You pick the first Tom, Dick, and Harry that walks into my home?” Dean couldn’t believe it. “You didn’t even—”

“His name is Castiel. And he’s nice,” Sam cut in, defending himself.

Nice?

Before Dean could interrupt him, Sam continued, “So, get this, Castiel is actually in the same predicament as you are. He lives in Topeka, but teaches at KU and he’s already fed up with his daily commute to campus.”

“Castiel? What a mouthful of a name is that?” Dean grumbled.

“As far as I know it’s the name of an angel,” his brother answered calmly, taking none of Dean’s shit.

“Angel?” Dean huffed while another Angel came to his mind. Shaking his head to clear the thought away, he went on, “You telling me the guy is some religious weirdo?”

Sam laughed and Dean could literally hear another eye roll. “Don’t worry. I don’t think that should be a problem. Quite the contrary. He seemed very interested in our library. Or, more precisely, /your/ part of the library.”

Dean huffed. “That’s most of it anyway, dude.”

Groaning, Sam ignored him and went on. “I don’t think he realized how obvious he was when he skimmed through the titles of your collection of gay pulp.”

“Hey, it ain’t gay pulp, not all of it,” Dean protested.

“Pulp, romance, literature — whatever. You can’t deny it’s kinda gay.”

Dean laughed before teasing, “Just kinda?” Even though his brother couldn’t see him, he wiggled his brows.

“How would I know? I haven’t even touched half of it,” Sam backpedaled and Dean laughed even louder. “Somehow I need to keep my sanity,” his brother shot back. Then it hit Dean. “Wait, you showed this guy, this—”

“Castiel,” Sam offered helpfully.

“Whatever,” Dean snapped. “You showed him the library?”

“Dean, he lives there now. Of course, I showed him around. Besides, how do you think I should have hidden the shelves in the living room? You’re not very subtle with your interests.”

Subtle? Dammit, it was his home, for fuck’s sake. “Still, the library? And you let him stay? Alone at home?”

“Yes, because that’s what happens when you rent your house, dude.” Dean could see his brother’s bitchface in his mind. “Do I need to remind you that you were the one who asked me to take care of the viewings?”

“Goddammit, Sammy,” Dean grouched. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath before giving in, “Yeah. Sorry. I did. But that didn’t mean that you decide who lives with me.”

“I don’t know. He just seemed… perfect.”

Suptober Day 5 - Portrait

Extra info/discussion + the other two versions :)) ↓

So! This did not end up how I thought it would- at all. First I was gonna do like Crowley drawing Cas and Cas drawing Crowley cause I thought it could be cool to see like how they see eachother - yk trueforms and such. But then I thought about the variants of like tfw and demon dean, soulless Sam and godstiel/crazy Cas and I was like - how about I draw them. But then I ended up sketching this really weird shape and a few Sam doodles and decided to just stick with variants of him instead - states when he wasn't fully him but he was at least in essence him (aka he wasn't possessed - it was still him, something was just off) and so I narrowed it down to these three!

Psychic Sam - I loved all the turmoil surrounding Sam's powers and thought it could be really cool to portray :))

Soulless Sam - yeah so I didn't know how to portray the guy being soulless - I mean it's literally just he wasn't himself and he had no emotions or feelings. Originally I was gonna have him hold some light thing but then changed it to show like organs and the ribcage to make it seem like 'hey he's a functioning person but there's nothing beneath the surface - it's all on show'

Sam when he had his wall broken - I didn't know how to describe this part of Sam's life. Like it's easy to explain but harder to put a name to. Idk if it's already been named - in fact lemme Google that rq one sec.. k yeah idk. So i just went for 'broken' cause that's what he was. His thoughts were all over the place, I mean poor lad had trauma resurfacing left right and centre - he was hallucinating the devil for Christ's sake! He was not ok!!! (Also yeah the tears are supposed to look like fake/graphic esk. Idk why I made that decision I just thought it looked cool)

[kitshay]

So here is the thing, my job is cutting down my hours next month, and because of that I won't be able to pay for my family's medical bills and care.

I'm in a very tight spot, so I'm now offering Pay-What-You-Can-Commissions!!!! If you are interested, just send me a DM with your idea and what you can pay and I'll do my utmost best to accommodate your request.

All comms will be done before the holidays, so if you are looking for a gift this is a good time <3

Even if you are not interested I would really appreciate a reblog, thank you <3
