Title: waiting for the hint of a spark
Fandom: Supernatural
Subject: Castiel/Dean Winchester
Notes: Made for waywardmixes's first challenge: OTPs. I have a million billion OTPs, but this one gives me all of the feelings, plus I was already thinking about making another mix for them when I saw the theme. I might have titled the mix after a song's lyrics and then swapped that song for a cover version without realizing that it has slightly different lyrics. Pretend you don't notice. Also not sure why the cover turned out purple, it's been ages since I did graphics. No spoilers, just a generic sad/angsty mix for the trenchcoat-wearing angel, the alcoholic hunter and their long-distance marriage.

Summary: It's the first time Castiel has ever been to a carnival.
Beta: none
Notes: This fic is set in that wonderful universe of mine where Sam is nowhere to be seen and human!Cas is following Dean in his life of monster hunting and angsting but also fluff. Written for the food table (7. cotton candy) @ think_fluff and also mission 5.1 (anything between 900 and 999 words) of the COW-T 2 @ maridichallenge.

Title: Stranded
Fandom: Supernatural
Characters: Dean, Cas, Sam
Words: ~3,000
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: spoilerish for S7
Summary: It was almost anticlimactic, considering what they'd been through. Dean walked out of his motel room one morning to find Castiel standing next to the Impala.
Beta: none
Notes: I know it reads like the beginning of something, but this is all of it, honest. Not planning to write a sequel, unless it's another standalone Cas-is-now-human fic, because all of those belong in the same alternate universe for me, and this is how it starts.

Title: Coming up for air
Fandom: Supernatural
Characters: Dean/Castiel
Words: ~3,000
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: none
Summary: Dean teaches Castiel how to shower. Porn happens.
Beta: none
Notes: I am wary of comment fests because usually there's only porny prompts and I start a fill with all the best intentions and end up with something so G-rated and Gen that it could be fit for kindergarten reading. This time I saw a prompt asking for "teaching about everyday life" and I was like I CAN DO THIS ONE, THIS CALLS FOR FLUFF, I SHALL WRITE A BRIEF FLUFFY COMMENTFIC AND EVERYONE WILL BE HAPPY. I am not sure of what went wrong.

( It's not that Castiel is having a hard time adjusting to life as a human. )

Title: Kittens
Fandom: SPN
Characters: Dean, Cas
Words: ~500
Rating: PG
Warnings: kittens
Summary: Castiel brings home two kittens, and by home I mean the motel room he's sharing with Dean, and Dean is none too pleased with this.
Beta: none
Notes: Written for the Notte Bianca 4 @ maridichallenge. There was a prompt and I kind of jumped at the chance to write kittens in yet another fandom.

( Castiel looks strangely circumspect when he comes back. )

Title: Angel Diners
Fandom: SPN
Characters: Dean/Cas, Sam/Gabriel
Words: ~750
Rating: PG
Warnings: none
Summary: When the angels are around, even stopping for food becomes a challenge for Dean and Sam.
Beta: none
Notes: Written for the Notte Bianca 4 @ maridichallenge. Originally three separate drabbles, but there's enough of a common theme for me to throw them together and pretend I meant to write them as part of the same story all along.

Riassunto: Dean Winchester sta per iniziare il quinto anno alla Scuola di Magia e Stregoneria di Hogwarts. È il nuovo capitano di quidditch di Gryffindor, e il suo sogno è sconfiggere la fortissima squadra di Hufflepuff e vincere la coppa. Le cose cambiano quando sul treno Dean incontra Castiel Milton, uno studente di Hufflepuff. Cas è riservato e timido e del tutto privo di senso dell'umorismo, Dean è sfrontato e ha la tendenza a cacciarsi nei guai con i professori. Nonostante tutto i due diventano amici, e Dean si accorge che magari la coppa del quidditch non è la cosa a cui tiene di più.

Note:

• Sono anni che non leggo Harry Potter in italiano. Gli ultimi libri li ho letti solo in inglese. Quando mi sono messa a scrivere questa storia pensavo di usare le traduzioni italiane almeno per i nomi più comuni, ma poi mi sono resa conto che avrei dovuto tradurre Hufflepuff con Tassorosso e mi sono detta LOL NO. Quindi tutti i nomi sono lasciati come nell'originale, a parte alcuni di uso così comune (per esempio babbano che non ho potuto fare a meno di tradurre. Nel caso, qui trovate una lista di traduzioni di nomi e termini. Chiaramente io la lista l'ho usata per procrastinare. Le ore che ho passato a cercare come si dice Hogwarts in giapponese e boiate simili...
  
• Questo è un universo parallelo in cui Harry Potter e compagni non esistono, e sono rimpiazzati da Dean, da Cas e dagli altri personaggi di SPN, quindi ci sono stati alcuni cambiamenti. Per esempio: dato che Voldemort non è mai esistito, Slytherin è in rapporti molto più amichevoli con le altre case. Inoltre la grande rivalità è fra Gryffindor e Hufflepuff perché... boh, principalmente perché mi serviva un plot. È così e basta.
  
• La vaga idea di scrivere un AU in cui Dean e Cas sono rivali nel quidditch mi è venuta vedendo i disegni della geniale Lettie, che dovreste andare a vedere tipo ora perchè sono pucciosissimi e amorevoli. I disegni a tema Harry Potter sono sul suo tumblr, mentre altra fanart di SPN si trova sul suo livejournal.
  
• Il che non vuol dire che mio sono dimenticata della fantastica vahly che ha creato un altrettanto fantastico banner per la mia storia. Andate qui per ammirarlo! Grazie anche ai mod del bigbangitalia, vittime del mio tentativo di scoprire quanto potevo procrastinare se mi si lasciava. (Risposta: tanto!)
