100 Things Challenge, #3!

UPDATE: This fic is now finished. Read it on DW or on AO3.

Working title: "Five Times Dean Was Left Hanging, And One Time He Wasn't."
Fandom: SPN.
Pairing: Dean/Castiel.
Other stuff: Cracky.
Word count: 1900 words so far.

This is the first (and will probably be the only) time I try my hand at the famous "5 times" plot. Again, it's a matter of loving to read them, but hating to write them. Don't ask me why.

Notes:
I'm really mostly adding this to my 100 things because it's so close to finished it's actually ridiculous. I just need to write maybe 300 words of smut, and that's it. Done. Why I've so far been unable to put out is beyond me.

Also, the snippet I've chosen is a spot I keep coming back to, because I simply can't decide if it's too cheesy or just cheesy enough to be epic. I change my mind every time I look at it, sometimes loving it, other times hating it. Comments on this would be awesome.

100 Things Challenge, #4!

Working title: "You're Contagious, Baby!"
Fandom: SPN.
Pairing: Sam/Gabriel... maybe. Not sure yet. A smattering of Dean/Cas.
Other stuff: I hate the first chapter with a vengeance...
Word count: 9700 words so far.

Jesus Christ, this bunny went off like a damn rocket, reaching 8000 words before I even knew what hit me... and then it screeched to a halt for no good reason. I desperately want to finish it, but I greatly fear that this might require at least another 10k words to finish, if not more! And that's scary!

Notes:
Basically, this bunny was just meant to be: "Sam gets trickster powers, Gabriel agrees to teach him to use them, shenanigans happen." How the hell that went on to become something like an entire season 5-6 AU, I have no clue. I had a vague idea of making it Sam/Gabriel, but so far the boys are playing really hard to get. Not normally a problem for my shippy tendencies. Also, at first my plan was to make the powers temporary for Sam, but the way the fic is going, it's totally not gonna end that way. Seriously, my muses are just being manipulative bitches with this fic. Every time I think I know where it's going, it takes another unexpected turn. The only thing that seems to be pretty much a steady theme is that Dean and Cas are disgustingly in love, but of course not acknowledging it in any way. U.S.fucking.T. And poor Sam is kinda sick of it. Just for that, I think he deserves to get laid. And if nothing else, Gabriel is full of ideas in that regard.
