Dean/Cas/Jimmy is a lesser known OT3. We are on a mission to give them some love. Honestly if you can imagine these three together it is amazing. If you thought that Destiel was amazing? Add Jimmy in there and you have even more fun. Join us in creating works for our boys!
I was so excited to get this story because, since it’s a superhero comic-book feeling story, my drawing style meshed with it and I felt I was able to do this story justice. Plus I got to design a comic book cover which was soooo freaking fun!! A big thanks to @carrieosity for being a delight to work with.

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.
The art, embedded in the fic itself, is by the WONDERFUL @blue-reveries, and it’s so damn perfect for this story, I can’t even say. I’ll be linking to a full art masterpost soon (UPDATE - I added it above! Go look!), but for now, here’s a teaser:

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.”

For a different Bang I’m in, we’ve been using Discord to chat with each other. Any chance of a DCJBB Discord chat? I’m already wishing I had one, to talk through ideas with other writers! (Artists are kept out of the writers’ chat area and vice versa until after claims.)
Well then guess what? You are in luck!
We’ve already had a discord server set up. We’ve just been waiting to announce it until we have more sign ups!
We also have it so that artists and authors are separate. We will be sending the link to the rules to every author and artist in a few days, so keep an eye out in your email for that!
I hope that this answers your question. If you have any others let us know.
how do we know if we are 1 of the 4 authors. i filled out my check in but never got confirmation that it was received
We have received your check in, @mrsgabrieltrickster if you did not get an email confirmation that you checked in that was because we have not sent them out.
The only e-mails that we sent out after check in were to the ones who we did not submit a check in with us. We will be sending out draft submission confirmations as we receive them. So keep a look out for that once you submit your draft!
We hope that this answered your question, if not please do not hesitate to submit an ask or an email. Remember communication is key!
So for the rough draft submission, I know having the whole thing entirely written would be ideal, but if it's not quite there, would "mostly done, with outlines/detailed plans for what's not" be okay? (Uh, asking for a friend who got sick and lost writing time... 🤒)
Thanks for the ask. You can let your “friend” know that it is okay if it isn’t finished by summary submission. We just need a detailed summary submission for the art claims and what ever you have written along with the rest of the outline. No need to stress. What is most important for draft and summary submission is the summary.
The summary and rating info along with tags and relationships will be posted for artists to see to make choices for the fic they wish to do art for.
We hope that this answered your questions. If not feel free to submit another ask or email us! Remember communication is key!
