Gradually adding more but here's a glimpse at what's in there now

Decided to start putting some art on Redbubble!

Right now, it's mostly a few of my pride watercolors (supposedly, uploading too much off the jump while you're waiting to be verified can make you look like a bot), but I'll be gradually adding more stuff over the next few weeks, so stay tuned ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I'm also planning on setting up a Ko-fi shop in the next week or so to make some of my crafts and physical art available (I knit/crochet/etc. a lot of pride stuff among other things) so that will be coming soon as well!

I've got lots of nieces/nephews coming this year so I've been crocheting baby blankets like crazy. Finally finished #2

[rauko-creates]

This is a baby blanket for my new nephew but I got a little carried away on the size and my brother keeps saying it's actually his blanket now.

I got to work with @ayumidah (author) and @alicetallula (the banner artist) for @deancasanimebang! 💚💙

Everyone should go check out this adorable fic (beta'd by @golby-moon who's also an author and artist in the event 💚) combining Destiel with the world of Studio Gibli's Spirited away, set years after the events of the film.

Gripped Tight - Chapter 14: The Ghost of a (Man Who Would Be) King

Chapter Preview:

This time, as Dean pressed back into Cas’s mind, he felt Cas recoil. Dean pressed harder. “None of that. I’m not leaving here without you. Come on back to me so I can grip you tight and raise you from Perdition. It’s my damn turn.”

Next chapter of the Empty rescue fic is up! Big thanks to @wanderingcas for helping beta this chapter!

Chapter 14 | Read from the Beginning

Any archive warnings: None

Top 10 main tags: Alternate Universe - Royalty, Prince!Castiel/Commoner!Dean, Forbidden Love, Childhood Friends to Lovers, Secret Relationship, Mutual Pining, Established Relationship, Slow Burn, I know it seems like those don’t go together but trust me, Hurt/Comfort, Bathing Each Other

Summary: 

When he was ten, Dean was a stablehand getting in trouble for not showing a prince his age the proper deference.

By twelve, Dean had learned just how much treating Cas like a regular guy made him smile, and Dean liked that, no matter how much his friendship with Cas angered Cas’s attendants and made Bobby worry.

At fifteen, Dean realized that, somewhere along the line, he’d developed a massive crush on this prince that he wasn’t even supposed to be friends with. He wasn’t going to ever act on it, though. Dean wasn’t that stupid or that cliché.

By the time he was eighteen, Dean was hopelessly learning to accept that he absolutely was that stupid and cliché….and so was Cas.

Now, at twenty-three, Dean knows just how helplessly in love a man can fall, how impossible that love is between a commoner and a prince, and that propriety—even faked—is his best friend in protecting both his life and what little with Cas he can have.

Title: Salt Sea-Dreams

Word Count: 5.3k

Rating: Not Rated

Relationships: Salmar + Ulmo

Characters: Salmar, Ulmo

Warnings: Author Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings

Fandom: The Silmarillion; The Book of Lost Tales

Summary: Ulubôz he had been; Ulmo he became, and Salmar loved him, whatever name he bore.

Thank you to the @tolkienrsb mods for being amazing as always!

[rauko-creates]

My submission for this year's @tolkienrsb features Ulmo, Lord of the Waters, Dweller of the Deep and Salmar, who entered Arda with Ulmo and maker of the Ulumúri, Ulmo's great horns which produce the music of the sea.

The Silmarillion says Ulmo was alone and feared, but that the music of the Ulumúri that Salmar made for him was loved. What if he wasn't alone in the deeps? And what if Salmar made the horns so that others would have a way to experience Ulmo without fear and love him as Salmar did?

The art was claimed by @naryaflame, so look forward to that and all of the other fics dropping soon!

Meanwhile, along with the trauma from their quest, Frodo grapples with his own feelings for Sam and his growing affection for Rose, while doing his best to stay out of their way for what he thinks is their sake. Rose knows that they're all better together and is doing her best to make Sam and Frodo see it, too, before it's too late.

I am so grateful to have been able to work with @kerkusa in this round of the @tolkienrsb. Could not have asked for a better partner. Massive thanks to the Mods for being ever awesome and to Petra for being ever patient and amazing 💚

For my second song for the Hoziernatural Multi-Ship Bang, I got to work with @nonastrega (author) and @brothersinablackcar (banner artist). You want a fun fic where Sam takes Dean to a ghost masquerade for his birthday? Check it out!

And don't forget to go give the other artist some love for her banner art on the masterpost, too! (The original artist ended up having to drop pretty late so another artist and I shared the pinch-hit)

I had so much fun doing art for and beta-ing this fic by @sunshine-zenith for @hoziernaturalevents 💚💚💚

Inspired by Hozier's Jackie and Wilson. Everyone should seriously go check it out

[rauko-creates]

Authors, this is your last day to sign up!!!

Those worlds that you think it'd be fun to see Dean and Cas thrown into? Come write them! Those anime pairs that you watch and go "omg they're so Destiel-coded"? Come prove it!

AUs and crossovers are both welcome! So whether you wanna see Dean as Sailor Moon or hanging out with Sailor Moon...whether you want to explore Dean and Cas as natives of that world or somehow finding themselves thrust into it...we want to see it (and we already have lots of artists excited to draw it)!

Also, reminder that even though it didn't fit well in the name, we are accepting stories inspired by manga, too!

LAST LINE TAG GAME

Thanks for the tag @all-or-nothing-baby!

Right, so...the last several fics I've worked on were for bangs (DeanCas Anime Bang, DeanCas Bang Taylor's Version, and the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang) and I don't think I can share much about them yet...but please accept the last line I wrote for the next chapter of Gripped Tight (my empty rescue fic):

Dean brushed a thumb over Cas’s cheek. “We’ve got a lot to talk about—and some we might even end up yelling about—so I’m gonna need you to wake the hell up and come home with me so we can do that, okay?”

Tagging (only if you want to):
