#Libby babbles

[faux-ee]

I wrote a fyolai fic that shortened my lifespan by at least ten years (/j) what I mean is that I poured my whole heart into it. I included so much of my reflection on their relationship and philosophy in general and I did a lot of research and put in a ton of symbolisms and motifs…and ofc it’s not perfect or remotely THAT good but I’m really proud of the work I put into it. However, bcs the censor system on Chinese fanfic websites is rlly strict and my fic has some concerning themes (these two r Russian terrorists can u blame me rlly), I could only link that fic in my blog for ppl to read. And most ppl just. Read it and left no feedback, no likes or reblogs or whatever. I’m just so upset and discouraged like I know I’m overreacting but this is the favorite thing I have written I just feel so sad that it’s not getting any attention at all…sorry for the rant I just don’t know where else I can ramble abt my feelings but this is making me feel so bad I need an outlet

i for real dont know what i want to read next i keep picking things up and putting them down because theyre Not Right

@ my brain WHAT DO YOU WANT

[kurokoros]

all your ST3 anons have inspired me to make a poll because I am so curious to see which season people like the most, even if it's not "the best" objectively! Personally I love ST3 and it's my "favorite season" but I think nothing beats Season 1 as being the "best season" and I'm curious if others have a similar thought process...

Respectfully, Libby, I could not disagree with anything more lmao

When I did a full series rewatch, I could barely get through S3. I thought the plots were boring and/or nonsensical, and couldn't stand how every single "couple" in the season was fighting. Plus they botched Steve and Hopper for me, and that was unforgivable. The season had a decent aesthetic, but I think the summer vibes could have been so much better. Someone needs to explain to me what they enjoy about S3, because I just cannot compute it 😂

I think ST is at its worst when it's trying to emulate a Hollywood blockbuster and loses that small town vibe.

I think my objective ranking would be 1, 2, 4, 3. By subjective ranking isn't much different though: 2, 1, 4, 3

[grayblebayble]

You ever get brainworms for a fic idea that’s way too good for the source material

I wanted to start reading Mistborn & start getting into Sanderson books today, but there's 12 people in front of me for borrowing an ebook copy from the library 😭😭😭

[straykidsmoonlight]

SKZ react- they take their kids to work.

Please send any requests!!

I’m also now writing personalised stories for small tips… unemployment is real in my country… please message or ask (anons more than welcome) for more info!

Chan:

Definitely wakes up lonely knowing your on a business trip, pouting without his morning cuddles

Slowly, pulls himself out of bed, tired after a late night at the studio and worries about how to get all three kids in the car simultaneously

Once they arrive at the JYP building, Brandi and Karl immediately run to their favourite uncle, Jisung and clamber on his lap, while Chan carries your youngest baby in a carrier attached to his front.

Being so young, Libby still has lots of people to meet, so many of Chans colleagues stroll in and out as 3racha work, to cuddle with the newborn.

Chan keeps a watchful eye the whole time, always wary when it comes to his precious baby, can only fully concentrate when one of the members is holding her, knowing what amazing dads and uncles they were.

Lee Know:

Another one who hates starting the day without you

Sleepily drives Jeni to work, while you are staying overnight at the hospital with Byeol.

Carefully places Jeni on a sofa in the practice room, surrounded by blankets

100% bet none of the members can focus on the choreography all day… as the coo over Jeni, complimenting Lee Know on her cuteness as he goes all shy and blushy.

Just turns into a massive hugging session as the members pass round the little one for cuddles, as Minho captures the sweet moments on his phone.

Changbin:

Gets really nervous taking both kids out on his own.

Almost cried when you told him the kids would have to go to work with him.

As he tries to work on music, Jimin starts to fuss, and won’t stop crying no matter what Changbin does, while Hyungsik keeps getting bored.

Luckily Jeongin brought one of his kids, so Hyungsik and Jihae could play together

Ends up holding Jimin against his chest with one hand, while typing with the other, every so often looking down to check on her

Hyunjin:

Practically has a mental breakdown the second Cheon-Sa wakes up as he “literally cannot” find anything for his son to wear

Once he’s finally dressed, he gets to the studio where him and the guys are filming SKZ code.

All his uncles can be seen with huge smiles as Hyunjin walks in cradling his only baby.

Carefully hides Cheon-Sa’s face when the cameras are on, as he’s one of the members who doesn’t show his kids face.

All the comments on the video end up being about how adorable Cheon-sa is, and all Stays find watching him with his uncles and dad adorable 🤧

Han Jisung:

This is a perfect example of a child with children

Is completely lost without you while you’re spending time with your friends

Tumbled through the building’s doors with his daughters missing shoes 😭

Literally barley got anything recorded because he was so distracted by his girls. One moment he was racing Mae down the hallways, and the next he was falling asleep with Seol-a and Dani on the sofa

Cries tears of joy when you get home, exhausted from spending all day with his girls.

Lee Felix:

(This gif legit shows how I think he would talk to his kids😭)

Surprisingly really capable without you there, but this sunshine literally pines after you all day

Gets the kids to the JYP building just fine before he realises he’s forgot Milo’s Wolfchan 😭

Milo’s a quiet child, but you forget his his stuffie chan and he will lose it. Felix tries his very best to calm Milo while keeping a watchful eye on his younger baby Hanuel.

Physically cannot calm his son down, and has to call chan in to bring wolfchannie from felixs apartment, just for Milo to cling on to his uncle for the next three hours.

Seungmin:

You leave this man with your girls for two damn hours

He just lets his twins do whatever

Is so much of a pushover😭

The girls literally run around babbling away driving chan half insane (he loves his neices dont worry)

Seungmin just laughs away until one of the girls hits her head and he has to rush her to A and E. feels so bad

All is well, and you return home to Seungmin pretending nothing ever happened

Jeongin:

You are quite scared leaving Jeongin to take all five kids to work

This guy is a great dad though

Somehow managed to juggle a ton of hyper kids, all while recording music

In the end had to record the new song with Seom in his arms, meaning you can hear tiny teeny baby noises in the background of the new song.

Hyungs definitely stare proudly at the scene in front of them, and take tons of photos of their Maknae on top.

[silly-little-gooses]

your hc for jameson as a girls dad are so cute 😭💗💗 could you pls make hc about averyjameson as parents together? have the nicest day!!!

ofc I’d love to you’re so sweet! <3

avery and jameson have three kids - two daughters and one son.

jameson claims he can understand the language of baby talk. strangely enough, whenever his toddlers babble about something, he can always get it right what they need.

jameson cried harder then avery when he found out she was pregnant. same thing with their births.

jameson and avery got to every single one of their kids sports games and scream their head offs supporting them.

nash, xander, and grayson are the best uncles ever and are always trying to spend time with their nieces and nephews and help whenever they can.

avery can make her babies laugh with just about anything. she could make silly faces, talk to them, drop a pan on the floor, and the little kids would burst out laughing and find everything amusing.

avery and jameson hire a very large security team for their kids, like ten to twenty people. they’ve experienced first hand the affects of paparazzi and social media and they really want to keep their kids safe from that.

avery absolutely adores dressing up their toddlers in the cutest little outfits ever. boy, girl, doesn’t matter, she will find the most adorable clothing and accessories.

jameson loves to embarrass his kids in front of their friends/crushes. he never goes too far but he always likes to add in a teasing comment or dad joke or riddle.

their son looks just like jameson, the resemblance is a bit frightening. the same green eyes, sarcastic smirk, fluffy brown hair, etc.

this one is obvious but avery and jameson’s child is the most beautiful, gorgeous, majestic, ethereal being in the history of man. two gorgeous parents, how could you not?

avery and jameson have witnessed how pressuring and stressful it can be to be a hawthorne and live up to all those expectations. so, they don’t force their kids to win world records or start their own business or anything like that. they let them be kids.

I mentioned this before but jameson is not allowed to help name children. he would pick the most unserious, ridiculous names ever. fortunately, avery picks the prettiest names for their kids, with the help of max and libby ofc.

avery and jameson want their kids to feel like normal kids. they read a picture book before bed, treat their kids to ice cream, talk to their teddy bears, etc. anything to make their kids feel happy.

road trips with the hawthorne-grambs family is always absolutely crazy. there’s music blasting, snacks being eaten, sing-alongs, a bit of arguing, all the fun of road trips.

also here’s a bit of an update! six of crows content won my poll by a landslide so, please please please send in any requests you have for both the inheritance games content or six of crows content bc I do all of this for you lovely people! byeee! <3

[faux-ee]

I am so afraid to lose my hyperfixation on bsd its ridiculous

[asexualbookbird]

finished an audiobook and ten minutes later got the notification that my hold was available and im sending that energy out to anyone who needs it

[kurokoros]

me rn and forever and ever

asdfghjkl NOT THE SPONGEBOB MEME

I'm glad you enjoyed the ending <3

[theythemsam]

what books did you read and which were your favorite???

I've read "The Gentlemans Guide to Vice and Virtue" (by Mackenzie Lee), "The Vegetarian" (by Han Kang), "Norse Mythology" (by Neil Gaiman), "Gideon the Ninth", "Harrow the Ninth" (by Tamsyn Muir), "Hold Still" & "Watch Over Me" (by Nina LaCour), "Felix Ever After" (by Kacen Callender), "Everything Begins and Ends at the Kentucky Club" (by Benjamin Alire Saenz), "The Truth Is" (by NoNieqa Ramos) and "The Fascinators" (by Andrew Eliopolus).

Right now im reading "The Seep" (by Chana Porter) and "The Brilliant Death" (by A.R. Capetta).

Of those I liked Gideon (& Harrow) the Ninth the most, 100/10 sword lesbians. The Truth Is & Watch over me where good as well. I already know I love The Seep, since I'm rereading it. Also last month I enjoyed "In the Dream House" (by Carmen Maria Machado) and "The Luminous Dead" (by Caitlin Starling) a lot.

I was disappointed with the Kentucky Club & The Gentlemans Club and personally would not recommend them further.

Thank you so much for asking!

❄ ⏩ Financial Situation

So this isn’t going to be super fancy and well written headcanon, it really is just going to give you a run down of the information I found about what Yuuri could possibly making yearly, and then my thoughts on what he does with that money. 

So when one makes the decision to be a competitive figure skater, they don’t do it for the money. Only a handful of skaters tend to get rich off of competitive skating, and a lot of that has to do with which countries they come from and what their rankings are in the world. So for example, VIktor Nikiforov, World champion several times over, would be incredibly wealthy. 

Yuuri is one of the ‘dime a dozen figure skaters’ registered in the sport. The sport is expensive with coaching fees, costumes, and equipment, not to mention travel and hotels during competitions. Now even though he considers himself to be relatively mediocre during the years before Viktor became his coach, he was still a top skater. He was the best in Japan and tended to be in the top ten within the world. 

So with that being said he makes a decent amount of money, now the way a skater gets their money is a number of ways. There is prize money when it comes to the major competitions such as the Grand Prix Final, Worlds, and the Four Continents. On top of that a skater can earn sponsorships and brand deals to help pay for their traveling expenses and gear. Which is definitely the go to for the top skaters during the months leading up to the Olympics. 

It’s estimated that the median wage for figure skaters is at about $51,370 USD a year, and more often than not that is at about on average what Yuuri tends to make, if not a little less than that. Though the 2014-2015 skate season was arguably his worst considering he didn’t qualify for half of the major tournaments and got last at the Grand Prix Final.

With that in mind during the 2016-2017 skating season Yuuri made roughly anywhere from $45,000-$85,000 USD on prize money from the main competitions alone. Ontop of that the Olympics were in early 2018, so during that time Yuuri would have had several brand deals and sponsorships from various different companies in Japan. He was the top skater of Japan and because of this he made $1.5 Million in sponsorships and brand deals.

Now let’s talk about what Yuuri does with the money he makes from his skating career. While he was still in Detroit, Yuuri’s money went through paying coaching fees, costumes, equipment, travel and living expenses. After all that is taken out, he still has school supplies to buy, and whatever he had left went straight home to help support the family business. 

Once he graduates university there was some adjustments. He pays for his equipment, costumes and travel expenses still. However he switches out the coaching fee for student loan fees instead. Though Viktor has said that he would eventually charge Yuuri a coaching fee, he has yet to do so, and Yuuri is beginning to think that it will never happen.. which is fine by him in the long run. 

After all of his expenses are paid for Yuuri tends to give any extra money he has over this family’s business still. Though after getting paid for his Olympic sponsorships, he was able to pay off his student loans and the rest of it went into a savings account for the family to use whenever needed for any unexpected expense that may come up. Not to mention he has a separate personal savings account set up as well since he is always preparing for every financial mishap one could ever think of. 

Yuuri isn’t exactly rich, but he lives comfortably. 

-- 

Added notes: Even if he didn’t have all of this sorted out down to a science (he is very good with money and only spends what he absolutely needs to.) being with Viktor ensures that Yuuri will live comfortably for the rest of his days. More often than not Viktor handles their travel expenses and hotel stays when it comes to competitions, it’s the only way Viktor can ensure that they fly first class because Yuuri can be on the cheap side from time to time.

But I Wasn’t (with Oliver Wood)

[ how you and Oliver handle having to miss one of his professional quidditch matches since your baby is sick ]

*flufffffff

** I loved writing this! More Oliver, Libby and you stuff in the future for sure!

…………..

This evening Oliver had a quidditch game and unfortunately you weren’t able to attend like you did to all his other games since your 5month old baby girl was sick. You had told Oliver before he left for the game that you could drop her off at his parents place so you’d be able to go and cheer him on but he said no, “I’m sure Libby would much rather be with you right now love.”

So there you were, at home with Libby. Although you were upset that you weren’t able to go and see Oliver play your mind was pretty occupied with keeping your daughter well. When he first left she was sleeping so that gave you time to tidy up the house a little. About an hour later she woke up and you tried to feed her some puréed food which she definitely didn’t want, the struggle wasn’t worth it so you decided to give her a warm bath instead.

With a small, soft cloth rag in hand you washed Libby as she sat in the small bath chair and then took her into her room to put on her pajamas. This is when you heard the front door open and close shut. You playfully gasped, “Who could that be baby..?” you said to your daughter. Oliver walked into the room and you playfully gasped again, “It’s daddy!” Your daughter squirmed in your arms with a smile on her face.

“Oh my sweet little angel, I missed you tonight.” Oliver said taking her from your arms and giving her a kiss on the head. “C’mon say daddy, say daddy..” he encouraged your daughter; all she did was babble unrecognizable words.

He chuckled and then looked over at you “Almost there I think?”

You laughed at his jokey comment, “Yeah almost.”

He smiled, “C’mere” he said pulling your towards him with his free hand and giving you a kiss on the lips. His arm traveled around your waist; this was his favorite part of any day, when he had both of his girls in his arms.

“So how’d the match go?” you asked letting your head rest on his shoulder.

“We won of course.” he said in a proud tone.

“Oh of course” you said mockingly with a smile.

He raised his eyebrows with an accompanying smirk at your sassy tone and you giggled at his reaction.

“How’d it go here with this one” he said giving Libby a kiss on the forehead this time, “how’s she doing?”

You ran a hand through the hair at the back of his head and then walked away from where he held you to turn on Libby’s humidifier, “I think she’s doing a lot better, she did refuse to eat her puréed bananas earlier but that’s okay,” you said now going over to sit on the rocking chair. You began fiddling with the top left of your shirt and Oliver instinctively brought Libby over to you.

As you nursed and rocked softly back and forth, Oliver bent down to the level of the chair and stroked your hair as you fed his baby. You smiled as you looked over at him gazing adoringly at Libby, “You can go start getting ready for bed if you’d like. You must be tired from the match I’m sure.”

He gently shook his head, “I’m fine love, besides, I got to wait and make sure my Libby girl goes to sleep first.”

“Must have been a short match, you came back earlier than I thought you would.”

“Yes it was pretty short tonight and to be honest I would have taken a bit longer to get here if I hadn’t managed to escape the press tonight.”

“You didn’t do press?” you asked with concern as you knew how important it was for the team to talk to reporters afterwards.

“I told our PR manager that my wife was at home with my sick baby girl and that I really would rather be at home right now with you both.”

Your face softened to a smile, “You didn’t have to do that, we were fine.”

“Yes but I wasn’t. My cheerleaders were at home and not in the stands; I needed to see them.”

You didn’t know if it was leftover pregnancy hormones or if Oliver was just that sweet but a small, joyful tear slipped out your eye.

You were gutted you missed his match today but his words truly, always made you feel loved. “You’re amazing, you know that?” you said with a gracious face.

He wiped the single tear that you had shed with his hand and chuckled at how easy it was to get you teary these days, “Yeah well I think that’s you love” he said to you as he gently caressed the head of a now sleeping Libby. <3

Dean’s POV

Link to ao3 / Link to masterpost

Dean pressed the call button, heart leaping in his chest just like it always did. Cas answered on the second ring; deep voice instantly filling the phone’s speaker and causing Dean’s heart to kick up in his chest. A year later and Cas still had the same effect on Dean. Sam called it the honeymoon phase. Dean argued they were well past that at this point, having been together for an entire year, and yet Dean was still just as crazy about Cas; maybe even more head over heels for him.

“Hello Dean.” Soft and tender.

“God, hi handsome. Missed your voice,” Dean said, rubbing the tiredness out of his eyes.

“Missed you more,” Cas said. “I know you had to drop into radio silence for that case, but I swear that was the longest two days of my life.”

“Sweetheart, you have no idea,” Dean said, leaning against Baby’s hood, closing his eyes as Cas’ voice filled his ear. Unless he and Sam were on a case, Dean made it a priority to talk to Cas on the phone every morning and every night. And even two days without talking had felt like a lifetime without Cas.

"Are you okay? Did it go well? Are you hurt?" Cas rapid-fire asked. They were the same questions Cas always asked after a case when Dean called him, and he thought it would piss him off, but if anything, it just made Dean's heart clench tightly in his chest.

"I'm fine. Everything went well, as always. Couple minor scrapes and a cut on my forehead, but we took out an entire nest of vamps," Dean said.

"Proud of you," Cas said, so much tenderness in his tone that Dean felt dizzy with it. It was enough to have him stuttering for air; lungs tightening at Cas' genuine pride.

Too much attention on him, Dean quickly changed the subject. “Talk to me, Cas. Tell me what I missed.”

“I have one piece of good news, if you want to hear it?” Cas asked through the phone.

“You know I do,” Dean replied.

“I finally found a roommate, for when I move next summer for culinary school,” Cas said cheerfully.

“Still can’t believe you’re going to be so close. That you chose to go to South Dakota,” Dean said, almost wistfully. When Dean had helped Cas apply a few months ago, he’d never expected Cas to want to look at any schools outside of Vermont. But when he saw a brochure for one of the culinary schools in South Dakota, his stomach had flip-flopped and he’d forgotten how to breathe. It was only a few hours from Bobby's place in Sioux Falls, and Dean swore he'd never been so happy in his entire life.

"Think I made the right choice," Cas hummed. "Anyway, back to the roommate thing."

Dean felt his insides twist a little. Not like he was jealous. More like nervous. Nervous that he could lose Cas to some other guy. "Um- who is it? Someone I should be worried about?" Dean joked, even though his tone fell flat.

"Dean, I've already told you I'd marry you if you asked. And that's not something I take lightly considering my broken engagement in the past. But if you asked, I'd marry you in a heartbeat. That's how much I love you, Dean."

Dean let the words wash over him, reassurance and contentment burning a warm glow in his pocket. "Love you, too," he murmured quietly. "Alright, lay it on me. Who's your new roommate?"

"Well, it's someone who already has my heart," Cas said with a laugh.

"Are you deliberately trying to make me jealous?" Dean teased.

"Mmm, you are hot when you're jealous," Cas said, voice dropping into something breathy yet deep, making Dean shiver with desire. “But no, it’s someone you already know and love.”

Dean frowned. The list of people he loved was short, and it surely wasn’t Sam moving in with Cas. But before Dean could ponder it anymore, Cas spoke up again.

“It’s Libby!”

“Libby? But that means she would have to move, too,” Dean said, a little dumbfounded.

Cas laughed, full and bright. “The only reason she’s still in Evergreen is because of me. Plus, it’s not like it’s hard for her to find a half-and-half cook and waitress position anywhere in the country. So when I told her I still needed to find a roommate to pay for rent, she offered. She gave me that puppy dog pout-“

“Damn girl is impossible to say no to when she does that,” Dean agreed, having been on the receiving end of her pouts when she wanted something more times than he could count. He wasn’t sure when Libby had become part of his family too, but she had. Her and Sam were always up to something- whispering and laughing- sometimes even teaming up with Gabriel to cause mischief when he and Sam stopped over in Evergreen for a few days. Somehow, this rag-tag team of misfits had become family, and Dean adored every second of it.

“So? What do you think?” Cas asked carefully.

“About you and Libby living together? God Cas, why is that even a question you need to ask? I love it. Having you both that close to Bobby’s is a dream come true. More time spent with you between cases sounds like Heaven.”

Cas heaved a sigh of relief, and then there was quiet shuffling before a car door opened and then snapped shut.

"Whatcha doing, sweetheart?" Dean asked, perking up.

"I promised I'd help out with the last minute prep and decorations for the tree lighting tonight, since last year was so successful, " Cas said, more shuffling as he grabbed things from the bed of his truck. "Are you sure you won't be able to make it by tonight for the tree lighting?"

"We've only made it as far north as Pennsylvania," Dean said, trailing off. Not yet. Not yet. Just a few more seconds.

Cas sighed, a broken sound. "I-I really wanted my boyfriend here as my date. Since you were my date last year, even though we weren't together yet," Cas said quietly.

God. Dean knew it. He'd been planning for this. The memory of their double date- of their conversation on the rooftop and hot cocoa and their almost first-kiss under the mistletoe- was still fresh in his mind; one of the best days of his life.

"What if I didn't want to go to the tree lighting as your boyfriend?" Dean asked.

"Oh great. You suddenly embarrassed to be seen in public with me or something?" Cas asked, a sting of betrayal in his voice.

“What?” Dean asked in shock. “No, Cas! No. God, no! That’s not what I meant at all. Of course I’m not embarrassed to be seen in town with you. I was trying to be romantic… shit. Can I try that again?” Dean babbled.

“What are you even talking about?” Cas said through the phone, confusion weaving into his voice.

“What if I don’t want to go to the tree lighting with you as boyfriends? What if I want you to be my fiancé?” Dean asked, voice catching in his throat.

“Dean?” Cas asked breathlessly.

Now or never. Dean pushed himself off of Baby’s hood, stepping around the corner and onto mainstreet into Cas’ path.

“Surprise,” Dean murmured.

“Dean,” Cas gasped, dropping the string of lights in his hands and barreling into Dean’s arms; instantly melting into his embrace as their lips crashed together in a desperate kiss. “How? What? Dean, I-”

“Drove all night to get here. You really think I was going to miss the tree lighting?” Dean said, pressing the words against Cas’ mouth.

“Dean what’s- what’s going on?” Cas asked, pressing little kisses to Dean’s mouth as if he couldn’t stop himself from slotting their mouths together.

For just a second, Dean allowed himself to savor the kisses, brushing a hand over Cas’ jaw before pulling away. “What’s going on is this,” Dean said, leaning his forehead against Cas’ softly.

“Castiel Novak, you are the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I’ve told you that a million times, but it’s never any less true. Any time I’m not with you, I ache for you. I spend every minute of every day desperate to get back to you. And when I’m with you, nothing else matters. You become- you are my everything. I’m so- God, I’m so achingly and desperately in love with you, Cas. My heart is yours. I’m yours, Cas, wholly and completely.

“You being my boyfriend… it’s been good. So good. I’ve never been- Cas, you make me happier than I’ve ever been in my whole life. I want… I want to make you mine in every way possible. I want a future for us, which is never something I thought I’d want or deserve.

“I want to call you my fiancé. My husband,” Dean said, as he slowly dropped to his knee. “So, Soon-To-Be-Chef-Castiel-Novak, the love of my life, please marry me?” Dean asked, pulling the box out of his pocket and showing Cas the silver ring inside.

Cas choked out a gasp, tears spilling down his cheeks, before he dropped down next to Dean, arms latching around Dean’s neck as he crashed their mouths in a breathtaking kiss. “Yes,” Cas said, word muffled against the hunter’s mouth as he kissed him. “Yes, yes, yes. Dean. Oh God. Yes a million times,” Cas gasped.

“Yes?” Dean asked, shock running down his spine as Cas’ words rang in his head.

Cas laughed, breathy and happy, and Dean couldn’t stop himself from kissing Cas again, just to feel that happiness pressed against his mouth.

“I told you on the phone ten minutes ago that I’d marry you if you asked,” Cas said, gummy smile absolutely blinding. “I love you. Dean, I love you. Hell yes, I want to be your husband,” Cas said.

Suddenly there was an applause and cheering behind them, and they broke apart to see Libby, Sam and Gabriel, phones out recording. “I may have told them I was proposing so they could capture the whole thing,” Dean admitted, pressing one, two, three fast kisses to the corner of Cas’ mouth.

“God, you’re something else, Dean Winchester,” Cas said with a laugh, the massive smile on his face so gorgeous it made Dean’s heart ache.

“Can I put this ring on your finger now?” Dean asked, fumbling to pull the ring out of the box.

“God yes,” Cas said, linking his hand with Dean’s and allowing him to slide the ring on.

As soon as the ring was snuggly on Cas’ finger, Dean brought Cas’ hand up to his mouth, pressing his lips to the ring. “Love you.”

“I love you. So so much,” Cas said. And then in a fast move, Dean was yanking them to their feet, arms settling around Cas’ neck as he pulled him close, chasing Cas’ mouth. They stood that way for a long moment, kissing soft and slow as the moon and stars twinkled above them.

When they broke apart, Dean rested his forehead against Cas’. “Thank you,” he murmured.

“What for?” Cas asked, tilting his head to bump his nose against Dean’s in a tender touch.

“For saying yes. For making me happy. For being you. For everything,” Dean said quietly.

“You’re such a sap,” Cas replied, even as he stepped impossibly closer, linking his arms around Dean’s waist.

“You guys are so sickening,” Libby yelled, earning a laugh from Cas and a good-natured middle finger from Dean.

“So, my fiancé. I’ve been on the road all day. Where’s my hot cocoa?” Dean asked, grinning broadly, fingers dancing up to tangle in Cas’ hair.

“Mmmm,” Cas pondered. “Come ice skating with me before the tree lighting and I’ll make you all the hot cocoa you want.”

Dean grinned. They hadn’t gone ice skating together since February, and Dean had been desperately trying to get back to Evergreen since November so he could go back out on the ice with Cas. The pair of ice skates Cas had customized for his Christmas present last year had a permanent spot in Baby’s backseat, where Dean could see them.

“Deal. As long as you don’t let me fall,” Dean teased.

“Too late for that. You fell for me a long time ago, Dean,” Cas shot back, smirking.

Dean couldn’t even deny that. And, as he moved to put the empty box back into his pocket, he remembered what he’d stashed in his other pocket. Slowly, he pulled the mistletoe out, letting Cas see it. “Call back to our first date,” he said with a smile. “Although, I don’t plan on leaving you under the mistletoe this year.”

The loved-up look on Cas’ face made Dean’s heart melt, and God, he truly couldn’t believe this man was his fiancé. Pressing into Dean’s space, Cas made a show of reaching into his own pocket, pulling out his own clump of mistletoe. “Was hoping to kiss you silly under the mistletoe, too,” Cas laughed.

“Well then,” Dean said, snagging the mistletoe from Cas’ fingers and holding both clumps over their heads. “C’mere and kiss me, my husband-to-be.”

Wrapped in each other’s arms, Dean kissed Cas under the mistletoe; heart thudding in his chest with the overwhelming love he felt for the beautiful man he got to call his. They kissed and kissed, and Dean never wanted the blissful moment to end. It felt like Heaven. It felt like coming home. Cas was his home.

Finally, with his fiancé’s lips pressed against his own, Dean was happy.
