#deancas stabfest 2023

THIS TAINTED LOVE YOU'VE GIVEN

As promised, here's the art post for my second @deancas-stabfest collab 😍 @lazarus-rose's prompt had me immediately hooked since it was music to my horror loving heart (with a spin on murder husbands I hadn't even considered yet) and takes the name "Stabfest" beautifully literal:

Summary: Everyone has their hobbies—Dean’s just happens to involve a lot more blood and screaming than most people’s. And sure, maybe murder isn’t the nicest way to blow off steam, but Dean’s always thought that being nice is overrated anyway. His latest victim, a pretty guy with startling blue eyes, should be nothing special, just another nameless body on Dean’s list. But then, after Dean kills and buries him, he turns back up at Dean’s house again the next day. What’s a guy to do when they’ve accidentally gotten an immortal witch convinced that they’ve got some kind of profound bond?

... can you blame me for claiming it? 😂 Read it NOW!! 🩸

Laz, I had an amazing time with you, your story and our collective brain rot. It's been so nice to meet and work with you and I hope it wasn't our last collab. Thank you for the A+ inspiration 🔪🖤

My secound art post for this years @deancas-stabfest!! It was so much fun and make sure to check out @melancholictearz 's awesome fic Frightland!! Summary: WHEN BLUE EYES ARE PIERCING LIKE A PROP-KNIFE…

Hired as a theme park tester for the Halloween season, Dean is left to his own devices in the middle of Frightland Screampark. He isn’t the kind to be afraid— hell, he and his reviews are the ones everyone else should be afraid of. Yet, he pays a visit to the oh so famous haunted house; the place is nothing scary enough to trigger a fight or flight situation but a secret third option appears when Castiel, dressed as Leatherface, rushes at him— flirting.

Behind the bruise makeup, blue-eyes pierce right into his soul like the broken knife-prop that stabs his chest, and Dean doesn’t know how to deal with the pain in his heart and panic throbbing in his blood— he calls Castiel a pretty boy and finds something to actually look forward to by the end of the night...

Art Masterpost: the starving faithfuls Story by pluto (@spacetiel) Art by sidewinder (@hawkland)

It's Stabfest time again, everyone!

In probably my last new art post for the year, I can share my two pieces for the 2023 @deancas-stabfest today.

I saw Godstiel (my beloved) mentioned during claims, and I just had to jump on him that. And I got to work with @spacetiel who wrote a very delicious fic with some of my very favorite things in it so please go give "the starving faithfuls" a read!

This Blade for Hire

Taking part in the @deancas-stabfest was a fantastic last minute decision! These mods do an amazing (and hilarious) job, and I've had so much fun collabing with @friendofcarlotta again.

Go and read "This Blade for Hire" HERE!

Dean still thinks that angels are dicks until he doesn't, Cas proudly wears not only flannel, but also his dom brow and a demon blade, and the girls finally get to stab each other too. Enjoy~

(My second Stabfest collab posts on Monday, so stay tuned <3)

Tags: Alternate Canon, Dean Stabs Cas, Ava Stabs Meg, Bottom Castiel/Top Dean Winchester, Human Cas Endgame

Summary

Dean Winchester is a demon hunter. And even though he doesn’t have fancy demon-slaying powers like Sam and Ava, he’s really fucking good at his job. But then he gets himself all tangled up with an angel named Cas, who’s on the run from Heaven and also in cahoots with a demon. Let’s just say Dean’s job is about to get a hell of a lot more complicated.

Summary

Five years ago, Dean lost his boyfriend Cas. In an effort to keep his memory alive, he made a statue of Cas that still stands in his backyard, but enough time has passed that Dean thinks it might be time to let the statue go. The night before the statue is set to be removed, Dean makes one final, desperate wish for Cas’ return, though he knows it’s impossible for that wish to come true. Isn’t it?

Tourbillon Dreams

Author: @kayliemalinza Artist: @coydahlia Rating: Mature Word Count: 40,402 Pairing: Dean Winchester/Castiel

Tags: Hurt/Comfort, Mechanical Clock, Angel Healing, Dean Cooks, Mutual Protectiveness

Summary

Grieving, Dean purchases a hoarder house with Bobby's life insurance money. As he works his way through the hoard, battling ghosts and cursed objects, he comes across a starburst clock--and is immediately impaled on its super-sharp spines. But Dean can't let a gorgeous machine like that go unrepaired. The fact that the clock is also an Angel of the Lord who manifests in Dean's dreams and looks really, really good in a chiton is a bonus.

Claire's tough. From recess to group homes to hunting grounds, she's been scraped and smashed and tossed around. She's taken bruises that lasted for weeks and driven cross-country with scabs that crack and ooze and stick to her clothes when they dry then crack open again. She's felt pain big and small, quick and lingering. Claire can handle a little tattoo. The buzz is obnoxious and the needle is persistent, pain mounting, sweat prickling and muscles bunching up, tight and slow, like an overwound mantle clock. "Breathe, Claire," Kaia murmurs. "Try to focus on something else." Something else, like the press of Kaia's fingertips, bone beneath nitrile. Like her elbow wedged into the curve of Claire's waist like it belongs there. Something like the wisp of air against bare belly and the quiver of florescent reflections on the gun and how Kaia's biting her lip, hard square teeth sinking into soft--curved-- "Sorry it's taking so long," Kaia says. "I could do this all day," Claire answers, and covers her shaky exhale with a laugh.

You're In My Blood

Author: @follows-the-bees Artist: @hexentaenzerin Rating: E Word Count: 8,576 Pairing: Dean Winchester/Castiel

Tags: Alernate Universe - Modern Setting, Hunter Dean Winchester, Half-Incubus Castiel, Case Fic, sequel, Established Dean/Castiel

Summary

Set four months after the tumultuous start to their relationship, Cas finds himself settled comfortably next to his boyfriend Dean in the Impala on the way to the hunting trip. The crisp mountain air and frost-lined trees offer a stark contrast to the warmth of their shared affection — not to mention the easily-stoked fires of their passion. Despite their closeness, or perhaps because of it, Cas can’t help but feel that Dean isn’t telling him the whole truth about what lies at the end of their journey.

Finding Another Way

Tags: Temporary character death, Djinnverse, 5+1 Things, Castiel Loves Dean Winchester, Dean Winchester Loves Castiel

Summary

Dean twirls the angel blade in his fingers, staring daggers into the tied-up angel that he’s been interrogating. He has no idea how long they’ve been at this, but he’s getting real sick of the guy saying the same shit over and over again. *** Dean is stuck in a nightmare Groundhog Day-esque loop, with each loop ending in Castiel’s death by Dean’s hands. As each loop completes, he grows more and more panicked, desperate not to kill the angel. How many times will Dean be forced to kill Cas before he finally breaks free?

Summary

Cas still might not know what happened to a monster killed in Purgatory, but he did know what happened to an angel killed in the Empty: very little.
