if your rhythm ever falls out of time

So, I don't read much fic anymore, unless someone sends me one in an email. And then it's usually to beta. But this author sansday has asked me to beta a wonderful fic, and I just. I love it. You all have to read it, if you are into Dean/Castiel.

It deals with some interesting power issues; Dean's a fully recognizable character right out of the show with his lingering issues from Hell, and his motivations. Castiel is confused by humanity and determined to do right by everything, even though he's not sure how to do that, with being cut off from Heaven. It's got interesting power issues because of both of those things, and the warns for D/s themes. Castiel finds a purpose in Dean, after being cut off from Heaven for Dean. Dean finds what he needs in Castiel, both because of the after-Hell issues and because he needs someone to take care of.

The summary of the fic is: Feeling purposeless after leaving Heaven, Castiel tries to figure out what Dean wants, and how to give it to him, when nothing else in his life is familiar anymore.

It's really amazingly written, too, and I'm not just saying that because I beta'd it. I had very little work to do except enjoy it and flail.

Part I is right here. In case you couldn't tell, I highly recommend this fic. It's completely finished, but you don't get a link to the next part after each chapter, so here is a link to sansday's page so you can just click to where ever.

I wrote a couple of Dean/Castiel drabbles! I'd never written Dean/Castiel before, and usually I'm too long-winded for drabbles, so it was several firsts for me. The prompts are still going, so I'm going to be updating this post as I go. :) I need Castiel icons.

1. catching, humorous, eager

2. Dean hunts demon!cows in Hell to make burgers - has a stupid typo that I didn't notice until after someone replied to the comment, so I couldn't edit it.

3. clean, blocking, musicians - I admit to...altering the prompt, a little.

4. morals, disguised, peaceful - Dean decides to ask Castiel out. Sam finds it funny.

5. illusion, fuel, round - I imagine that this is what happens after the first time they have sex. Shh.
