#there will be poems

i participated in a number of big bang projects last year and had the incredible luck to have some fic written inspired by or in exchange for my art too. i figured i could collect the links to all those fics in one handy post for easy reading. please consider leaving a comment if you enjoy a story - it means the world to any author.

SUPERNATURAL

duskby@cowboywincest (dean/jack, sam/dean)

Dean’s not feeling guilty, but it’s a close thing.

double exposureby@flownwrong(sam/dean)

A sequence of shots with Dean in every one where he expected empty space, looking right at him where Sam expected him to turn away, only it’s not new, either—just one of the things he didn’t take the time to notice.

what lastsby@zmediaoutlet(sam&dean)

Not long after they move into the bunker, Dean loses a leg. Most of a leg. After the hospital, Sam brings him home, and they figure out how to live with what remains.

stains in the nights, whiskey and kissesby@redmyeyes(dean/john)

A lifetime of experience has taught Dean how to deal with his father’s mood swings and drunken stupors. Sometimes, John just needs to forget. Dean makes him remember what’s important.

Three hundred dollars in crumpled mixed bills in Dean’s duffle.

father knows bestby@sakarrie-creates(sam&dean)

Teenchesters; John sets up a training simulation for the boys in which a sedated Sam plays the injured victim and Dean has to get him to safety before ‘the monster’ catches them or Sam passes out from 'blood loss.’ Dean is determined to prove himself a worthy leader, but it soon becomes clear that something’s off. The traps they come across are extreme and dangerous, and Sam starts to experience more effects than just a mild sedative should cause. Dean faces one of his greatest fears as it’s revealed this test was never about him after all.

negating, repeatingby@flownwrong(sam/dean)

After all the years, they get more, and to spend them together.

pay phone by @rollthatbeautifuldeanfootage (sam/dean)

Still, he doesn’t give up hope. He dials Dean’s beeper, almost laughing at the idea that he’s dialing Dean’s beeper as he does it. He wonders if he still has it. It’s the early aughts after all and having a beeper is definitely no longer en vogue. Sam imagines Dean unclipping it from his belt and he actually does laugh at that image. It does help that he’s still a little drunk. Mostly. The cold is bracing him enough to help sober him slightly.

The rings are new.

on the eighth dayby@goodluckdetective(dean/castiel)

Post Season 13AU!
Michael was made for War, not creation. He was never going to be able to play God. He tried anyway. In the strange new world Michael left broken, Castiel and Dean run a clinic for injured travelers who stumble upon it. Dean gardens. Castiel heals with mostly human hands. They trade in information, hoping their lost family will find their way back to them. But there are other things traversing this new world, things that pose dangers like they have never seen. A year after settling in, Castiel starts seeing things that aren’t there. Is the pressure of everything finally getting to him? Or is there something else coming their way? And if so what? And what does it want with Castiel?

and oh my heart tolls for youby@xwubzxbubzx(castiel/jack)

Castiel would do anything Jack asked.

THE TERROR

the hand of franklinby@simplyirenic (peglar/bridgens, ensemble)

It’s 2014, and Terror Football Club is about to take on Erebus Athletic in the quarterfinals of the FA Sunday League Cup: a proper derby, or so captain Francis Crozier believes. But he can he inspire his lacklustre teammates to a win? Where’s his Lucozade gone? And who’s this flash new striker Erebus have chosen to replace the retired James Clark Ross?

these are the days that must happen to youby@rubysharkruby(little/tozer)

In a camp filled with the dead and dying, Edward Little sits down to wait for the end, but instead of death finding him it is Sergeant Tozer; ragged and wild-eyed but in surprisingly good health. He killed a bear, he claims, and will share what he has. It’s not a lie, but as Edward feels his bones shudder and twist beneath his skin and begins to see impossible things, he realises it isn’t the whole story.
