Reading Challenge At least 10 Chapters

It’s February and I’m still at my third ff… ops!

The third ff I've read for the Reading Challenge Destiel edition 2023 is for the At least 10 Chapter challenge.

Title: The Nanny

Author: Kitmistry

Rating: Explicit

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/30835616/chapters/76123745

So, I found this fic thanks to a moot on twitter and I was fascinated by the idea of a rewriting of The Nanny in a DeanCas way.

I wasn’t disappointed.

The fic is well written, with a Dean fun and soft, great with kids, and a Cas so closeted it’s unbearable, but Cas knows his nature, he just doesn’t have the instruments to live openly. Dean is right there to help him. the fic is light and funny, but when it comes to the heavy moments (yes, there are heavy moments) the writer manages to do a great job. Even more… I have a specific scene in my mind that was very powerful, where Dean speaks about how his sexuality was handled and that punched me in all the right ways. And Cas’s journey is difficult but realistic. It could make you feel pain, but is just part of the process.

The tension between Dean and Cas is there since the first moment, so it’s a good reading.

The other characters are also well described, and I love Balthazar in the butler role!

Meg is incredibly funny and Naomi is a super b1tch! So, so well written!

I love the way the kids are portrait (Claire and baby-Jack), they are sweet and funny and sassy in all the right ways, but they (Claire in particular) are also fragile and hurt.

It’s from Dean’s POV

He had style, he had flair, he had…well, actually, he didn’t have any of those things. But he did have pretty green eyes, and Claire didn’t want to murder him on sight (all Castiel was asking for these days). And that’s how Dean became the nanny!

Based on the TV show The Nanny.

Title: Mirage

Author: @kitmistry | Artist: @bees0are0awesome

Beta: @theimportanceofbeingvictoria

Pairing: Castiel/Dean Winchester

Rating: Mature

Word Count: 39K

Genre: Drama, Mystery

Source Material: Mirage (Durante La Tormenta) - Movie

Summary: Α man and a boy in the same room twenty five years apart, two identical storms and a murder that will tear both their families apart. When Castiel Novak wakes up to a new reality, it seems only Detective Dean Singer is willing to believe him, but even the detective might not be able to help him save his daughter from a butterfly effect that has changed their world irreparably.

The race against time will bring them face to face with decisions that might cost them their lives and those of the people they love. And still, the storm rages on.

Preview: “You don’t believe me.” Castiel sighed, shaking his hands. He was on the verge of tears. This was his last option to find his daughter, and even the detective had his doubts about the story Castiel was saying. He was so exhausted. “I’m not crazy. I know it sounds like I just escaped from an asylum or something, but everything I told you is real. My daughter is missing, and I need help to find her.”

“And I want to help you,” Dean promised, his lips curving up in a ghost of a smile. “What’s the last thing you remember?”

Castiel shook his head. “I told you. I checked up on Claire before going to bed. It was raining outside and I made sure all the windows were closed, and…”

And then he’d heard that noise. The TV, the storm, the boy. Castiel blinked. Took a deep breath. “I—” His voice cracked, a bitter laugh escaping him. “I must really be going crazy. Because I remember finding an old TV in our unused bedroom, and it was turned on, and there was a boy. Our friend, Anna, told us about him over dinner, how he saw his neighbor murdering his wife and died in front of his brother mere minutes later. But I saw him. In the TV.”

Dean was staring at him, brows raised almost to his hairline. His lips were slightly parted, not in shock. More like wonder. 

Castiel was desperate for him to believe him. 

“I could talk to him somehow, and I pleaded with him not to get out of his room, because I knew he’d die if he did. And I kept pleading with him, begging him to believe me.”

“Who was the boy?” was all Dean said.

“Sam Winchester,” Castiel said, dropping his head in his hands. “I—shit. Was it a dream? It didn’t feel like a dream, but how could it be anything else?”

“Cas.” Dean’s voice was gentle, drawing Castiel’s attention back to him. “I know everything must be very confusing right now, but we’re going to figure out what happened.”

“How?” Castiel asked, voice shaking. 

Dean hesitated, his eyes searching Castiel’s face unsurely for a moment. Then he took a deep breath, as if steeling himself. “While I was getting your coffee I asked for a little background check on your daughter.” He paused, chewing on his lip. Then, “We couldn’t find any birth certificate for a Claire Novak, or any other documentation. As far as the state is concerned, your daughter doesn’t exist.”

Castiel’s face remains blank. “I think you were a bit brusque,” he says, slowly, at last. Like maybe Dean’s not making sense. “Maybe try loosening up a little? Um, explaining your feelings more clearly, perhaps.”

Or, three times Dean tried to confess and one time he did.

Author: @kitmistry (AO3) Artist: @pimentogirl (AO3) Rating: Explicit Length: Pairings: Castiel/Dean Winchester (Past Jessica Moore/Sam Winchester, Ellen Harvelle/Bobby Singer) Warnings: Graphic Depiction of Violence

Summary: When naval surgeon Castiel Novak is captured by the Black Impala pirates, he has no choice but to agree to their terms: He is to serve on their ship for a whole year before they release him. That doesn’t mean he is going to like it, though. Especially when their captain is the embodiment of everything Castiel despises.

Determined to earn his freedom, Castiel settles into the life of an outlaw. When the pirates’ true goal is revealed, though, he can no longer deny that things are not as black and white as he thought they were. And he can’t deny how drawn he is to Captain Winchester either.

Teaser: “Nice to meet you, Mr. Allen,” Dean says and offers his hand, flashing a toothy grin that makes his green eyes crinkle at the corners.

Castiel takes it, sizing him up—he’s a few inches taller, freckled, and he looks quite fit, even though he’s wearing a suit that hides the exact breadth of his shoulders and his arms. Attractive in a way Cas doesn’t need right now. His hold on Castiel is firm, his gaze unwavering as he stares straight back without hesitation. Dean Winchester is too confident for Castiel’s liking, and his stomach quivers in response.

I check up on your stories

I don't know if other artists do this, maybe some of y'all can tell me...

When I work with an author in a bang I go back to those stories after they post , a week, a month later, sometimes months later just because I see the art again and I want to know how it's doing.... and read the comments that folks leave them.

I've seen these authors work hard on these fics, I hope my art draws in more readers and I hope they leave nice comments on the story for the author.

Any other artists do this?

To anyone I've worked with on bangs, even people I've done random one shot art for, I lurk....and I hope your stories are doing well :)

Holidate

Holidate by Kitmistry (@kitmistry) Rating: Teen Word count: 34k

Dean and Castiel hate the holidays! Their enduring singledom leaves them subject to the judgment of their meddling family members or stuck with clingy, awkward dates on each festive occasion. When these two meet, they pledge to be each other’s plus-ones for each holiday celebration over the course of the year.

Who never made a reckless, dumb decision while halfway drunk? If you’re as guilty as I am, you’ll completely relate with this fic.

Dean and Cas meet at a bar, while drowning their sorrows in alcohol. It’s Christmas Eve and none of them has a significant other to present to their families and make everyone proud. So Dean comes up with a plan: they’ll be each other’s fake date for any future holiday celebration. What can go wrong, right?

I love how it’s completely evident pretty early on that they’re falling for each other hard, but they both keep denying it, coming up with excuses to everything they’re feeling. And once they do admit what they’re feeling, they’re sure the other doesn’t feel the same which results in lots of pining.

It’s also really refreshing to see both guys with supportive and loving families. Dean’s parents died when he was a kid, so Bobby as well as the Harvelles have been his and Sam’s family all along. And Cas, as much as his siblings love to tease him, it’s clear how much they love him.

This is such a sweet read, perfect for the holidays! So what are you waiting for, click that link and give it a try, you won’t regret it.
