every time i log on here i am reminded of this space two years ago. we were still very much under pandemic rules, destiel had been freshly made canon in spanish, jackles was teasing content, j*red was "et tu brute"ing, misha was doing cameos.
the desticle was such an insane place to have been in. we ran kora princesshamlet off of this website.
Happy 2 month anniversary to Dean and Cas! They are starting to get settled into their new home, which is a bit of a fixer upper, but it's okay because it turns out Dean is incredible at home improvements. So together they've already painted all of the rooms, retiled the bathroom and fixed the front porch steps, all with minimal incidents (like the time Dean's shirt got stuck to the grout drying on the bathroom wall, after he was pressed up against it for at least 20 minutes). Dean has even started building a bookcase and shelves in his workshed out back, a place Cas is now officially banned from (after Dean accidentally hammered his thumb because Cas' ass was "too distracting"). But that's fine with Cas because he'd much rather spend his time tending his garden, which is currently flourishing in the warm spring weather. Jack will usually try to help, and excitedly listen as Cas explains the different care each plant needs (Cas gave Jack his own little plot where he chose to plant sunflowers)
But when they aren't building shelves or pulling weeds, they're taking daily walks with Miracle in the park together hand in hand, having movie nights with Jack curled up on the couch tossing pieces of popcorn at each other, trips to the local library so Cas can borrow 20 more books (Cas is thinking of applying for a part-time job there), Friday night dinners catching up with Sam and Eileen, and Claire and Kaia if they're in the area. Or dancing to Cas' new record collection in the living room (hey, Elton John is starting to grow on Dean), late night talks huddled together on the back deck underneath the stars, getting into stupid fights over nothing, and spending hours making up after those stupid fights. And in the evenings Dean has made it his mission to teach Cas how to cook, and they both learn pretty quickly that Cas is hopeless in the kitchen ("Cas, how the hell did you burn that?" "Well I didn't want to unde-" "It was just a pot of water!"). So far toast, boiling pasta, and pb&j are the only approved foods on the list of things Cas is allowed to cook.
But that's okay, because Dean would gladly only eat subpar peanut butter sandwiches, or plates of undercooked spaghetti (like he currently is, Cas wanted to cook for their anniversary dinner) for the rest of his life, as long as he gets to sit across from his husband at their kitchen table.
that whole car sequence in 9x06 of dean "cas. wait. i can't let you do this" fame HAS to win the title of most egregious bait i've ever seen in my life. i cannot BELIEVE we were edged for SEVEN more years after that i mean desticles absolutely fit to burst it's inhumane
