An Exercise in 'Worthless'

An Exercise in 'Worthless' by glassedplanets Rating: Mature Word Count: 26.5k

"I mean, you’re–” He gestures at Cas, in his neat oxford shirt and nice pants. “–and I’m a high school dropout who tattoos for a living.” Wherein Dean makes a hefty living as a tattoo artist who owns the space next to Gabriel's cafe. Sam attends the local university. When Gabe's cousin comes to live with him while starting grad school at Sam's university, Dean thinks for sure that all his negative karma's coming to bite him in the ass because Cas clearly has a thing for Sam. No one would ever choose him over Sam. That's just logic.

This is it. This is the first Destiel fanfiction I can remember reading. As such, it would have ALWAYS had a special place in my heart, but this fic is made even more wonderful by the fact that it is a fascinating character study into Dean. As someone who mourns over Dean's criminally low sense of self-worth, it's always lovely to see him gain confidence, as well as an understanding of just how much he is loved by everyone around him.

Dean's crush on Cas is pretty obvious from the start, but Dean tries his best to deny it, mostly because he doesn't think that Cas could ever return his feelings. Cas is delightfully intelligent and awkward, but he's not shy by any stretch of the imagination. He's sarcastic with a dry wit, and you can absolutely see why Dean would fall head over heels for him.

This fic is told from Dean's point of view, and he is, at times, an unreliable narrator. He misinterprets situations and statements, mostly because he has such a low opinion of himself that he doesn't believe that anyone could ever choose him. Throughout this fic, Cas does his best to make Dean understand that not only is he a good person, but that he's also worthy of love, familial and otherwise.

I'm also always a fan of a tattoo shop AU, and this one is phenomenal. The descriptions of Dean and his work are exquisite and you can feel Dean's care and passion throughout every description of his shop.

Though it's not shown explicitly, Dean does describe his past with Alastair, where he was made to hurt people via tattooing them. This guilt forms the basis of a lot of Dean's self-loathing, but it also leads to the fic's climax, where Dean learns how to let the past go and forgive himself.

If you're looking for a great character study of Dean, and you also love watching this oblivious man get everything he doesn't think he deserves, I know you are going to love this fic! 💖

Bold Will Hold

Bold Will Hold by DarcyDelaney (@darcydelaney) Rating: Mature Word Count: 74k

All Dean Winchester wants is to open his own tattoo shop, which is why he signs up for Tattoo Gods, a tattooing reality show with a $100,000 grand prize. He also wants to avoid making an ass of himself on national TV, and he definitely wants to avoid falling for Cas Novak, another artist who’s not only his direct competitor, but someone he’s had an unspoken rivalry with since before he started apprenticing, and is just as ridiculously talented as he is stunning (and, as Dean comes to find out, kind and funny and passionate and sincere). Is that too much to ask? Apparently, yes. Yes, it is.

Dean Winchester, tattoo artist? Yes, please, sign me up immediately. Bold Will Hold does not hesitate to deliver. I could only think of one word as I was reading this fic, and that is immersive. Even if you don’t know much about tattooing, it doesn’t matter, This fic is written so well, you don’t need to spend any time in a tattoo shop to get a feel for the dynamic of one, and all the thought process that goes into working in one too. Dean is an artist in this fic, more than anything, and it's not a trope we get enough of in this fandom. 

This fic centers around Dean’s journey as an artist, in the pursuit of following his dream of owning his own shop and being the best tattoo artist he can be in the process. Despite his faltering confidence, Dean applies and earns a spot to contend on a tattoo reality show, the winner of which takes home one hundred grand, an amount of money that would more than help make his dreams a reality. 

He isn’t expecting Cas to show up in his life (again) and become his closest competitor. He certainly isn’t expecting their rivalry to turn into anything more. As the story progresses, we get a wonderful look at both of our favorites as they begin to drop their walls, and figure out that first impressions don’t always have to define a relationship. 

One of my favorite things about this fic is the great supporting cast, each glimpse of our favorites well written and in character and enriching the story with every interaction. This fic also handles the reality show aspect really well, which isn’t always easy to do. Overall, it's a great read, with incredible descriptions of art and ink, and another great depiction of our two favorite guys falling in love.
