And an extra-special thanks to my co-mods @bleuzombie, @deancodedcastielenby and @twinone1221 for all their help. This was my first time organizing and running and bang and while we may have hit some bumps in the road along the way, I'm really proud of all the work that came out of this.

As has been teased/mentioned before, I will be organizing a Reverse Angels & Demons bang next, the details of which will be announced within the next few weeks. So keep watching this space! Also the @dadstielminibang which I'm co-modding is set to begin posting today, so be sure to follow over there for some wonderful fic & art featuring Castiel as a father figure in both canonverse and AU settings.

Thanks again, from @hawkland

Unraveling the Past

Author: Dk323 (@avalonsilver) Artist: As-lost-as-sams-shoe (@as-lost-as-sams-shoe) Rating: Teen and Up Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Featured characters: Michael, Sam Winchester, Adam Milligan, Jack Kline, Castiel Featured relationships: Adam/Michael, Sam/Castiel Length: 30,117 words Tags:  Angst, Tragedy, Grief/Mourning, Canon Divergence, Angel Vessel Consent Issues, Medieval, Secret Reveal

Summary:  A few months after Dean’s death, Sam gets amnesia.

When Castiel visits, he discovers Sam believes Lucifer is still possessing Castiel.

Castiel is upset by Sam’s memory loss, and he seeks out Adam to talk to Sam. Though Michael is reluctant, Adam feels helping Sam is the right thing to do.

Jack aims to change the fate of a 19-year old man, Cerulean, from fifth century Britain. Pulling a risky move to gain Michael’s attention, Jack hopes Michael will help–- even if this causes the Archangel’s long-buried secret to be revealed.

Summary:  After a demon hunt that detaches Castiel from his vessel, Dean offers himself up on a platter to keep him safe. The hunter has harbored feelings for the angel for a long time and is determined to keep them hidden, even when Castiel is possessing him. Dean sees the angel's trueform for the first time, but it doesn't turn him away. It only serves to bring both of them closer than they ever expected to be possible.

Summary:  Castiel didn't expect to be rescued from the Empty, yet here he is. Presented with the chance from an unanticipated ally, there's only one small problem - to return to heaven, he must leave his body behind and rejoin the Host in his trueform; a state he hasn't been in for a prolonged period of time since first rescuing Dean Winchester from hell.

Quick to take on the challenge, he rapidly finds himself underestimating the impact his time on earth has left on him. Struggling with his sense of identity and fearing he's lost his humanity, Cas visits old haunts and seeks guidance, trying to come to terms with his new existence.

Summary:  Gadreel thought that, after centuries of torture, he had learned his lesson. Unfortunately, that was not the case, and he found himself falling from Heaven once again. Trapped on Earth without his Grace or powers, trapped in a human body without any experience of being Human, Gadreel finds the help he needs in a young Trans man, Dean Winchester, and his baby daughter, Emma. Using the identity of the human he took as a vessel, David, Gadreel will slowly learn what it means to be human, and will finally find the family and love he has always longed for. May it have been God’s plan all along?

2024 Schedule | Rules & Requirements | FAQs

[spnangelbang]

Hey folks!

We've still got some more story posts to go, but they'll be spaced out between tomorrow and August 12 as we have had some rescheduling to account for.

In the meantime, be sure to check out the posted works so far!

I'll be sharing some information on other upcoming bangs today as well.

Also, the voting is complete on our next event survey and it looks like it will be an angel and demon-themed reverse bang! We'll be working on the schedule and rules this month and start promoting for that come September. So be sure to keep following us here even after story posting is complete.

doors unlocked and open

Author: sidewinder (@hawkland) Artist: fluffsnake (@fluffsnake) Rating: Teen and Up Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Featured characters: Castiel, Dean Winchester, The Empty, Jack Kline, Benjamin, Meg Masters, Chuck Shurley, Death Featured relationships: Castiel/Dean Winchester, Castiel & Jack Kline, Castiel & Meg Masters, Dean Winchester & Death Length: 12,000 words Tags:  Post-Episode: s01e13 Hey That's No Way to Say Goodbye, Episode Fix-It: s15e20 Carry On, Post-Canon Fix-It, First Kiss, Jack Kline as God, The Empty just wants a nap, Non-Linear Narrative

Summary:  While Jack is now God, revamping Heaven for the human souls under his care, Cas has become the new ruler and embodiment of the Empty. He is content with this fate until Jack brings upsetting news: Dean has passed away unexpectedly.

And Dean is not finding peace, not even in Jack’s improved afterlife.

Instead, Dean has discovered a way to traverse the Axis Mundi to visit other universes, alternative Earths, and has been meddling in their fates. Dean tells Jack that it’s because he’s looking for his “family,” but Jack feels he’s really just looking for one individual: Castiel.

Castiel must confront Dean and the consequences of his confession, or else Jack may need to take corrective actions. But will their reunion be enough to bring Dean peace? Or is there still some greater destiny the hunter must fulfill, even in death…

Or perhaps, through death itself.
