read on AO3|get the book|fic playlist|band playlist|support me with a ko-fi ☕️|
A Destiel rockstar AU, written for @holdtheday as part of the @SPNFamilyRelief auction. Updates on Friday(-ish).
Rating: Explicit
Relationships: Dean/Castiel, past Cole Trenton/Dean Winchester, minor Castiel/Others
Main Tags: AU - Modern Setting, AU - Rock Band, Rockstar Castiel, Musician Castiel, PA Dean Winchester, Drug Use, Implied/Referenced Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Uncle Castiel, Dead Jimmy Novak, Sobriety, Slow Burn, Angst with a Happy Ending, Grief/Mourning, Anxiety Disorder, Strangers to Lovers, Dysfunctional Family, Explicit Sexual Content
Fic summary:
From the top of his 29 years-old, Castiel Novak has everything he could ever wish for. His band has been successful enough for the past decade that he’s traveled the world several times, can have anyone he wants in bed every night, and can fund his sins without a blink of an eye. On top of that, he has plenty of friends and some resemblance of a family left.
That’s until Castiel’s twin brother dies in a tragic car accident, leaving him the sole legal guardian of Jack, his 2-year-old nephew, and Claire, his 7-year-old niece. Castiel has always been a great uncle, but there’s a difference between being the cool uncle they see once a week, and being a parent. How is he supposed to deal with this, on top of his own grief, and to keep the band and what’s linked to it running?
Enter Dean Winchester, experienced personal assistant who’s basically seen it all already. But will he be enough to keep Cas clean, and his new family safe?
Between growing friendships that blossom into something else, maintaining sobriety and making sure the kids are happy and cared for, what could go wrong?
Everything.
(updates on Friday-ish)

Chapter 4: …To Be Loved [READ HERE]

Welcome back to another chapter of this rock'n'roll drama! I’ve been working on this chapter for the better part of this past week, and I hope it starts answering some of the questions you’ve been asking as well as making you want to yell at me (let’s be real here, we all know how I am).

No real TW here, but the very last part of this chapter is extremely NSFW, so if that’s not your jam, skip it (although it’s an important part of the story, so you might miss out on some context).

As per usual, thank you to @nickelkeepand@castielsdisciple for guidance, counseling, beta'ing and enabling my filthy mind to come up with one of the most sinful things I’ve ever written

The song that Cas sings in this chapter is “Mittens” by Frank Turner.
