Okay, raise your hand if you’re a sucker for Dadstiel like I am. If your hand is up, did you know that there’s a writing bang just for Dadstiel fics? Credit goes to our fandom for having a bang for just about anything, and to all the writers who continue to give us stories, even years after the show has ended. Add to it the endless bounds of creativity and new scenarios to put our two favorites in and you've got yourself into one lucky Fandom. 

Add this sweet story to the spoils. In it, we meet versions of Dean and Cas who both like to post videos on YouTube; Dean as a helpful handyman, and Cas as a newly single dad after he becomes the only parent to his niece and nephew. They are fans of each other, with a pair of wicked crushes to go along with everything else, so imagine both their surprise when they figure out that they're daughters are actually best friends. 

This story is adorable. Soft dad's Dean and Cas are irresistible, and I'm always a big fan of any story that includes Emma when Dean is a single dad. This story gives us a few POVs, including a scene or two from the kids, which is always fun. Added in is a little drama toward the end to bring the men together, but all’s well that ends well, at least in this cute fic, which is all most of us want out of our fan fiction at the end of the day. 

Enjoy!

Summary:

When the Winchesters come up against a strange case, Castiel offers to get help from an old friend.

This friend admits to not knowing much about the myths and lore of the probable monster, but he has another friend who does.

When they met up, Dean manages to almost instantly get on the wrong side of this guy, one Duncan MacLeod. Normally no biggie, but Duncan wields a katana, and claims to be Immortal…

Will Dean lose his head or will he be able to talk the Highlander into helping them?

Note: I tried two different art styles, which is why they look different.

P.S. I’ve never done shadows before.

Why, he enlists his best friend and alpha crush, Castiel, to help him “practice.” The duo spend months exploring each other before realizing their feelings for one another are reciprocated. But when a tragic accident rips Dean away from Castiel, only to be reunited six years later, will time have taken its toll or will practice have made them perfect for each other?

“What Sacred Game” - Friday, July 21

Author: prettydizzeed (  @campgender Artist: Hectatess ( @hectatess ) Rating: Explicit Featured characters: Sam Winchester, Gabriel, Dean Winchester  Featured relationships:  Gabriel/Sam Winchester, Sam Winchester & Dean Winchester, Gabriel & Chuck Shurley Length: 10,000 words Tags:  Alternate Universe - Murder Mystery, Script Format, Meet Ugly, Noir, Identity Porn

Summary:  Unbeknownst to them, Sam and Dean investigate a murder on a scale unlike any they’ve encountered before. In order to solve the case, they first must solve the mystery of the true nature of the victim known as Chuck Shurley—a secret even his estranged kids are determined to keep. To complicate matters more, Sam finds himself on the brink of revealing dangerous truths about his own identity to the charming, irreverent stranger who claims to be Chuck’s housekeeper.

Excerpt:

Several still shots in quick succession, the products of Sam’s camera: a smudge of the cigarette ash Poirot disdained as cliché. A pool of blood inside the white outline of where a body once lay, in approximately the location of its gut. An eerily distinct muddy footprint. Lodged in the center of the bloodstain, Sword in the Stone -style, a knife that appears to be made of nothing, an absence in the matter of the room. 

Dean tries to nudge it with the tip of his shoe, and his boot goes right through. 

Outside the room, a noise. Sam and Dean share a glance and exit the bedroom, guns ready.

MAN: (looks around the living room, whistles) Guess I’ve got my work cut out for me.

DEAN: Who the fuck are you?

MAN: The name’s Holden.

DEAN: (eyebrows raised, more than a little condescending) As in Caulfield?

HOLDEN: As in Driscoll. (flicks a rag onto his shoulder) I’ve been dusting these knickknacks for the last six years.

SAM: You’re the housekeeper?

HOLDEN: What, were you expecting a short skirt and fluffy feather duster? Only on my nights off. (winks)

In The Dog Days

Author: Hectatess | Artist: ReverieOfForgotten

Posting on Saturday March 23 

One day deputy sheriff Castiel Novak is out on his usual run, when a guy comes up to join him. They hit it off, and before the day really starts, he has a new running buddy called Sam. Fast forward a few months, and Sam comes running into the office, all upset because his brother is missing! To top off this eventful day, Castiel finds a dog without a collar.

Keep reading for a sneak preview!

Bone tired, Castiel shrugged on his trusty trenchcoat and dragged himself home. Most days he loved walking home, especially after a refreshing shower had cleared the air like today, but now he was on edge, looking around for the smallest sign of something that might be Dean. That was why he noticed movement in the bushes a bit to the side of the road. He approached carefully, not sure what to expect. Whatever he had thought, a bedraggled, wet dog, wasn’t it. “Hello, you,” he cooed. The dog snapped his head up and Castiel gasped. The animal’s light eyes seemed to pierce his very soul. “Wow. You are a beauty, aren’t you?”

The dog laid its pointed ears flat and from the rustling behind it, Castiel deduced it wagged its tail twice. Careful to not spook the animal, Castiel traced the fluffy neck with his hands, looking for a collar, but not finding it. “You’re a stray. I’m too exhausted to take you to a vet. You don’t look rabid, or fleabitten, so I’ll take my chances. Amara might bust my chops tomorrow, but I can’t look into your adorable face and leave you out here. It’s supposed to rain more tonight. C’mon, you fluffball, I’ll give you some burger meat…”

At the word burger, the dog’s ears snapped up and its soulful expression cheered up. A doggy grin appeared and a pink tongue lolled out. Castiel bit his lip. He had no rope or anything to lead the dog home with. “How do I get you to follow me, buddy? I can’t even grip your collar.” The dog did a little head tilt, ears pricked. Then it trotted from the bushes and shook itself, ears flapping and spraying water everywhere. Castiel jumped back with a startled ‘Hey!’ The dog looked at him with that silly doggy grin, and Castiel chuckled. “Alright,” he said, wiping the droplets off his face. “I guess I’ll just hope you’re going to follow me.” He started walking and to his relief, the dog trotted along.

A Different Parent Trap

Author: Hectatess (@hectatess) Artist: Myimmanence (@myimmanence) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Featured characters: Castiel, Dean Winchester, Emma, Claire Novak, Charlie Bradbury, Meg Masters, Michael, Naomi, Missouri Moseley Featured relationships: Castiel/Dean, BG Charlie/Meg, BG Michael/Naomi Length: 6,239 words Tags:  Alternate Universe - Human, Castiel is Claire Novak's Parent, Dean Winchester is the Parent of Emma, Bullies and bullying adults, Strangers to Lovers

Summary:  When Castiel picks up Claire from school one day, he notices her behaviour is off. At home she explains that the girls in class are being mean and excluding another girl from the group, and that she doesn’t want to come along to the planned group hair dyeing appointment.

Dean also picks up his girl, Emma, who is down and just wants to go home. At home she explains she is being excluded by the girls and that the group leader, Michelle said it was because she was weird. That she was weird because her dad was weird. Turns out that is because Michelle’s parents both had beef with Dean in high school. Dean decides to give Emma an awesome new hair style himself. YouTube has loads of tutorials!

Emma’s hair turns out amazing and Claire wants that kind of do as well. Long story short: They somehow all end up at Castiel’s place, where Dean teaches him how to give Claire a dip dye. The girls are loving it and chatter happily, unintentionally letting slip that not all of the other girls had permission from their parents to get their hair dyed.

They simultaneously manage to show Dean’s old bullies true colours to the other parents. During all of this, they start crushing on each-other.

Title: Death Doth Us Bond

Author: @hectatess

Illustrator: @spn-fanfic-reblog-writes

Summary: In a bid to get rid of the Mark of Cain, Dean summons the Fourth Horseman. The anthropomorphic personification of Death has a proposition for Dean, which he gladly takes, since he figures he is the problem in everyone’s life. If he hadn’t gotten Sammy out of Stanford, he might have become a great lawyer, with Jess as his doting wife, and if he hadn’t sold his soul, Cas would still be welcome in Heaven…

Castiel and Sam desperately try to find Dean after he had run off on his own. When Sam finds the Impala, but he doesn’t find Dean, Cas rushes over. It soon becomes clear that Dean is in no danger, but he will be gone for a while. They return to what poses as a normal life for them. For Castiel, that includes replying to the summons of one of his siblings…

Equality Ain’t Pie

Author: Raven_Fuchs

Artist: Hectatess

Rating: Mature

Summary: In reaction to the rise in attacks on alphas and omegas (called AOs), Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak have each been recruited to co-lead an elite team, Sexual Minorities Intelligence Tactical Endeavor (SMITE); a law enforcement unit that has national reach and powers that superseded those of local and other federal agencies.

Shortly after the team is assembled they are tasked with looking into AO youth living on the streets who are missing as well as cases of product tampering where suppressants were replaced with a previously unknown super enhancer causing two unrelated college students to go into a dangerous heat cycle. 

Meanwhile, they face an enemy from within as well as mounting political pressure by some in government that do not want to see AOs have full rights in society and will do anything to see that they are removed from mainstream life.

The stakes get higher when an attack on the team coincides with the kidnapping of the teen children of a pro-AO candidate with the rare occurrence of two AO children in one family. As the team continues to investigate they uncover a plot that could lead to making the public see AOs as unstable and needing to be removed from society.

Warnings/Tags: No Archive warnings, Alpha Cas, Omega Dean, Kidnapping, murder, government plots, talk of conversion camps, talk of medical experiments on AOs, threats of sexual assault, mention of human sex trafficking, non-consensual drug exposure, panic attacks, past child abuse, alphas and omegas are commonly referred to as AOs
