Title: Shielding Us from Evil Author:Supernatastic101 Artist:Diminuel Rating: Mature Word Count: 20k Archive Warnings: None Major Tags: POV!Dean, magic!au, medieval!au, slow burn, deanjimstiel, alive!Mary, dead!John, minor character death (Not Sam, Dean, Cas, or Jimmy), minor blood imagery, minor violence, implied sex, implied twincest Summary: Sam and Dean lived at home with their widowed mother, Mary, in a quaint cabin on the edge of a forest. Their lives were pretty much normal and calm, until one day Sam’s gets in over his head learning magic and a mysterious figure shows up at their door that Dean never thought he’d see again. Even weirder, he brought his twin brother, and they both just happen to be transformed into animals when the sun’s out! The four of them partake on a journey that leads them to the other side of the forest Dean’s never seen, bringing them face to face with the witch that cursed the boys. With the help of the Persian Shield, a magical plant with an enormous potential to protect its user, they break the curse, leaving Cas and Jimmy back to normal after all those years. But when it’s time to say goodbye, Dean’s not sure he can…
Excerpt:
“Hey, how are you guys feeling?”
Cas brushed off his pants before turning to Dean to answer. “We are alright, just a bit disoriented after the transformation. It’s not an entirely pleasant experience.”
Jimmy nodded in agreement. “You’ve got that right, I’ve spent all day being 4 times the size of all of you, now I’ve shrunk down to my normal size. Feels like I’m wearing too small of clothes.” Jimmy laughed at himself, but Castiel shook his head and turned away, failing to hide his own smile from Dean’s eyes.
Wow, he sure was handsome when he smiled.
What the hell? Dean, pull yourself together.
Clearing his throat, Dean spoke up again. “Let’s set up camp shall we?”
“I’ll start setting up the tents, Dean, and you guys can start the fire and make some food. I’m starving,” Sam said as he made his way to the middle of the clearing.
“Of course you’re hungry. Maybe you’ll finally hit a growth spurt!” Dean called after him. “Let’s get some wood for a fire.”
The twins followed after Dean silently, and it was bordering on awkward. Dean still didn’t really know these guys at all, so trying to think of something to talk about was a struggle. Well, they should probably talk about their plan for the witch, or maybe even discuss practicing using the persian shield magic so they don’t make out like fools when the time comes to battle.
Not that kind of make out, seriously, Dean? Get it together!
“You okay, Dean?” Castiel placed his hand on Dean’s shoulder, startling Dean out of his distracting thoughts.

Summary:
The Seraph strikes fear into the hearts of criminals, protecting the metropolis and keeping its citizens safely out of harm’s way! Nobody knows the true identity of the man behind the mask–nobody, that is, until cub reporter Dean Winchester has an unexpected brush with the mysterious superhero. No way could he mistake those blue eyes for anyone other than Castiel Novak, his newspaper mentor and oject of his deeply hidden crush! But…now what? How can he get Cas to trust him without giving away his secret?
Castiel would very much like to open up to Dean about his biggest secret, especially with how Dean has begun dropping those veiled hints. There’s just no way Dean could suspect what Cas is really hiding, of course.
Excerpt:
“No, I’m fine, man. I guess it was just Chief’s yelling that got to me,” Dean said, his lighthearted tone sounding less convincing than he wished. “He had me thinking I dropped the ball big time by not walking away with a full interview and perfect headshot for The Seraph. Needed to reassure myself that nobody else has managed it, either.”
Castiel’s forehead smoothed a fraction, and one corner of his mouth turned up slightly. “You’re hardly unique in that respect, Dean. You shouldn’t feel inferior, no matter what Bobby may have said.” He still sounded a little on edge.
“I hear you, and I know,” Dean said, leaning forward over the desk. It was kind of hard to lock eyes with Cas while trying to keep his suspicions—and feelings—to himself, but it was necessary if he wanted to make sure Cas believed him. Cas’s eyes widened a little, but he didn’t seem inclined to break the gaze, either. “You know what? I’m sort of glad I didn’t get the chance for it to even be a thing. People should be allowed to live their lives without having to spill their secrets to the whole world. I mean, nobody’s making me get up and tell everyone what I do at night, or who I choose to do it with, right? That kind of respect, I think, should be basic courtesy for everyone. I don’t want to be in the business of outing people’s private lives.”
Castiel hummed thoughtfully. “That’s an interesting position for a reporter to take,” he finally said; their eye contact was starting to feel a little intense, but Dean wasn’t sure how to break it at this point.
“Yeah, well,” he stammered, “we’re not talking about criminal activity or anything. Just…the personal stuff.”

Dirty Talk - Name Calling. Semi-Public Sex. Panty!Kink. Summary: Castiel and Jimmy lived their whole lives away from their twin always feeling like something was missing. After a drunk night Castiel wakes up to see that his lover didn’t only just look like him because he was drunk, but because he was Castiel’s literal identical twin. They continued their relationship long after that night, but after Jimmy starts a new job and flirts with one of his boss’ brother’s, could that be the end of their happiness or the beginning of something enchanting? Excerpt:
“Who the fuck are you?” His voice sleep rough and still a little gone from moaning last night.
“Jimmy,” the other answered, his voice slightly higher than Castiel’s.
“No, I mean, yes I wanted to know your name, but why do you look like me?!”
“I – I don’t know. I think I need a few shots in me to clear this one up.”
Castiel couldn’t agree more and got up and walked to his door, he looked back to see if the other was following him. He thought about it at the last second and walked back picking up the pink lacy panties he had on the night before from the floor only to see the same pair in green next to him. He locked eyes with the other man before laughing and straightening up to pull them on. He rummaged through his drawer and grabbed two pair of sweats, one for him and for Jimmy to wear. He was going to need Gabe for this, so they needed clothes.
He threw the green panties and the sweats onto the bed by Jimmy and walked out the door calling back on his way out, “I’ll be right back. Beers in the fridge over there.”
“What the shit Cassie? You know I need my beauty sleep, it’s only eleven am, it’s too early to be awake on our day off,” his brother called from inside his apartment on the way to open the door.
“I know, but I have a problem. Beers waiting for you on my table. Send away tall dark and handsome and come over.“
He left and walked back across the hall seeing that Jimmy had listened to him. He grabbed his own beer and took two huge swallows before going to pee while he waited for his brother.

Summary: When Cas and Jimmy’s roommate moves out due to the stress of living with two practicing witches, they decide to find a new roommate. After meeting several candidates they’ve finally settled on one and it has absolutely nothing to do with how amazingly hot he is…
Excerpt:
Castiel had to subtly kick Jimmy in the shin to prevent him from saying anything that might scare Dean away because, despite the obvious attraction they both felt, he was actually the best potential roommate they’d seen. He was kind, polite, and good natured.
And so so so hot.
“I have to say, Dean; you’re the best applicant we’ve had so far,” Castiel reassured him with what he hoped was a polite yet cautiously flirtatious smile. Dean returned the smile so he took that as a win. “And I can tell you that we are very interested in in giving you a shot.”
Dean’s eyes brightened as his grin grew. “Really? You’re serious,” he asked in mild disbelief, “I got to admit, I was worried that me being non-magical might be a downside.” When Castiel and Jimmy only looked at him with confusion, Dean clarified. “See, I’ve actually gone to see a few places where they were magic practitioners but when they found out that I wasn’t… they made it pretty clear they weren’t interested.”
“Well I guess we’re lucky that those people were major douchebags,” Jimmy said. He was smirking but Castiel knew his twin well enough to know that there was a small current of anger at the discrimination their fellow witches had been a part of. There was a slightly stilted pause which was broken by Jimmy clapping his hands together loudly. “So, when can you move in?”
They quickly ironed out the details like rent, moving in, etc. and too soon for Castiel’s liking, Dean was gone. Both of them stared at the door after it shut, leaving the apartment in silence.
Castiel turned his head to see Jimmy looking back at him, his hungry gaze matching the one that he knew he himself was sporting.

Summary: Cas and Jimmy were together, first, but when Dean joins them, the three of them discover that they are even stronger together. Their interests line up as well, and soon they are doing BDSM scenes on the regular. When Dean is tasked with designing their next scene, it doesn’t take long before he knows what he wants to do. However, it’s asking for that which is the hardest part. Will the twins get understand? And how will they react? (And, well, will Dean survive even asking?)
Excerpt: Dean slowly refocuses on the plate in front of him, shoving his food around. He doesn’t have an appetite anymore. He doesn’t deserve it, anyway. He shouldn’t be with the twins, he’s just dragging them down. The fork – he was holding that, right? When did he let go of it? – clatters on the plate, and Castiel whips his gaze away from the kitchen door, and focuses on Dean. Castiel’s reassuring hands are on Dean’s shoulders in less than a second
“What’s wrong, Dean?” he asks, voice urgent. “Are you dropping?”
Dean can’t answer. The panic attack that has been looming the entire day is threatening to overtake him, and breathing is becoming difficult. He knows he’s losing it, and he knows that Castiel and Jimmy can help him through it, but he can’t inconvenience them any more than he’s already done. He can’t do that to them.
“Dean!” Castiel’s voice is slowly working through the fog surrounding his brain, and Jimmy’s is helping, too.
“Breathe with us, Dean,” Jimmy says. The Dom-voice is back, but this time it’s intentional, and Dean instinctively listens to it. He knows the twins want what’s best for him, and even though it causes them more trouble than he’s worth, he wants to listen to them. He can’t disappoint them any further than he’s already done. Together, they manage to get Dean to breathe normally again and they get him to the bed, too.
They cuddle up together, curling around Dean. Dean lies on his back and feels safe and protected, but in the back of his mind, there’s still the voices telling him that he’s really not worth all this hassle, and that he should just leave the twins as soon as possible. He’ll never be good enough for them.

Summary: The morning of a person’s eighteenth birthday marks the activation of the soulmate trait. From that moment on, any ink used on your body will also show up on your soulmate’s body.
Dean Winchester wakes up one morning with two lines on his wrist that he knows weren’t there when he went to bed. He knows his soulmate has turned 18 and their soulmate trait as been activated. Dean’s filled with joy and speculates what sort of person his soulmate will be like based on the drawings that form on his body.
Those speculations are completely thrown out the window when he meets Castiel and Jimmy Novak. Dean never thought about the possibility that his soulmate might be a man until he finds clues pointing towards Jimmy being his soulmate. Dean would be over the moon that such a kind and handsome man was his soulmate, if it wasn’t for the fact that Dean is slowly becoming head over heels for Jimmy’s twin brother Cas.
The soulmate trait trumps all, so why does Dean keep wishing his feelings for Castiel are requited? And worse, why does he keep fantasizing about having both of the twins by his side?
Excerpt: Dean pulls out his wallet and then the note that he’s been carrying around for a week. He slowly rolls up his pant leg until his left calf is showing. Written on his calf are the words; You are wonderful.
He hands Charlie the note and waits for it to click into place. Dean watches her face light up and then she proceeds to squeal and flail. Once she’s calm again she hands him back the note.
“Dean! Who wrote this note? You have to tell me right now!”
“Jimmy. But it’s not for sure. It could be a coincidence! This is not proof that he’s my soulmate.”
“Dean, this looks exactly like his handwriting! He even loops his y’s the same here! You know who your soulmate is!”
Dean looks down at the words again. He whispers, “what if he wrote the words on Cas and that’s how they showed up on me?”
Charlie immediately sobers. “Is that what you want? Would you rather have Cas as your soulmate?”
Dean looks at her. He feels so lost and confused about his feelings. “I don’t know. Maybe?”
“We’ll figure this out, Dean. Don’t worry. Just get to know them better and then when you’re eighteen you can write something on your wrist and figure out which one of them is your soulmate. No problem.”
Right, no problem. Except his eighteenth birthday isn’t for another four months…

Summary: Twins, that’s what intrigued Dean the most about this case, Twin Vampires actually, that seemed just as interested in him than he was to them
Excerpt:
“But you don’t want to.” The one in the trenchcoat says. “I can smell the lust coming off from you. You want us.”
Dean shakes his head. “I’m a hunter. I hunt things like you.”
There’s sets of hands on his shoulders, gently massaging them. “Then why haven’t you yet. You can do it right here and now. No one is paying that much attention. Right Jimmy?” The one in the trench coat looks at his twin.
“I know Castiel. He says that he wants to put us out of our misery and yet, here we are. Still standing. Maybe he’ll make up his mind after a dance.”
Dean doesn’t have time to object as he’s being led to the dance floor by the twins. There’s a loud, upbeat song playing that Dean hadn’t heard before and wishes that he didn’t. Other couples are dancing around them, out of their minds and not paying attention to anyone or anything around them. Jimmy has one arm wrapped around Castiel’s waist while Castiel’s hands are pulling Dean closer to him by the neck.
Their eyes are glued to Dean’s and he can’t look away. He doesn’t want to look away.
“Such a pretty thing.” Jimmy says, a hand reaching out and caressing Dean’s cheek. “So innocent.”
Dean snorts. “Innocent? Then you don’t know who I am or what you’re dealing with.”
Castiel grins. “We know exactly what you are and who you are. You’re a hunter, and not just any hunter but a Winchester. Son of John and Mary, brother to Sam. You my dear… went to hell and came back. We know exactly what and who we’re dealing with.”
Dean lets out a small laugh. “So what. You’re going to kill me now. Is that it?”

Dean lets out a small laugh. “So what. You’re going to kill me now. Is that it?”

Like cherry pie, it is an indulgence and a luxury for Dean, something to be savored and enjoyed.
Therefore, when a live show starts up across the way, Dean will absolutely drop whatever he’s doing in order to enjoy it.
Excerpt:
It would’ve been bad enough for Dean to develop a crush on one of the Novak brothers, oh no, he had to go and fall for both of them.
He always feels so fucking guilty at the beginning and at the end, after he’s ridden the high of his orgasm. That’s when the shame settles in that he watches them fuck and gets off on it nearly every other day.
Every night, Dean tells himself firmly that, one, he needs full curtains installed over his window and two, that he absolutely definitely will not do any more peeking.
His resolve crumbles every time… and tonight is no exception.
It’s been a ridiculously long day. People asking stupid questions in every lecture and lab was too tedious to get excited about the work. Upon stepping through the front door, Dean pours himself a generous finger of whiskey to help ease the headache. Then, he decides he ought to blow off some steam, watch a little porn for the stress relief. Finally, he wonders what the twins are up to. Miracle of miracles, Cas and Jimmy are in their bedroom, making out and already rubbing against each other like animals. Dean loves watching Alphas get rough with each other. Without drawing attention to himself, Dean quickly crosses the room and settles into his desk chair near the window, just peeking over the sill. Jimmy strips out of his clothes and tugs at Cas’s; no doubt he’s making the sexiest noises, panting and pleading for Cas to hurry up.

This post
is based on my experiences participating in over a dozen bangs in the
Supernatural fandom as either a writer or an artist, on my experience as a bang
moderator, and on bang experiences shared with me by acquaintances.
Despite the
title, this guide isn’t definitive, but it should give you an idea as either a
writer or an artist on how not to be a bad bang (or fest) participant, and whether
bangs are for you.
The
basics
For those
of you who don’t know:
Bangs
are fan creation events where writers and artists work together.
For most
bangs, a writer (or a pair of writers) will write a fanfic, create a
summary of that fanfic, and then the fanfic is claimed by an artist who has
read this summary, who will then create art related to that fanfic after having
read a copy of the fanfic.
In
reverse bangs, the process is different, with the artist creating a piece of
art first, which is then claimed by a writer who writes a story based on the
artist’s art.
And some
bangs are in fact collaborative from almost the start, with author and artist
paired early, and working together in tandem to create a story and art.
How long
stories should be and how many pieces of art should be created are set down in
a bang’s rules.
What kind
of content is permitted will also be described in the bang’s rules, as well as
required ages for participants.
The finished
fanfic and art are posted on websites like AO3, Tumblr, LiveJournal or
Dreamwidth (where’s okay to post and how, is normally described in bang rules,
as well as follow up emails/blog posts).
All of
this is normally co-ordinated by a bang’s moderators. These volunteers will
keep things running in terms of maintaining the schedule, enabling claims and
arranging posting dates, potentially enabling promotions of fanfic before posting, as well as distributing (not submitting) what is a
masterpost that links to both the finished story and art. They will also weigh
in on any disputes that may arise, or help find another artist (or writer in
reverse bangs) when one side drops out.
So far,
so good - right?
Okay, now
buckle up. We got a lot more to get through and I ain’t sugar coating this.
What
follows looks at regular bangs and reverse bangs, and discusses etiquette for writers and artists.
Here it is folks, the posting dates for the 2018 DCJ Big Bang fics! All of these fics and the art is fantastic and you won’t want to miss out! Without further ado:
