WIP Wednesday

[farenmaddox]

It's CLEARLY Wednesday. Don't... don't look at the calendar.

For this week's WIP Wednesday, your word prompt is in honor of it being the month of June. Your word is PRIDE.

Search any of your WIPs for where you've used the word "pride" and share a snippet! If you haven't used this word yet, maybe you can write a little and find a way to add it.

And if you don't have any active WIPs, consider joining the Destiel LGBTQ & Disability mini pride bang and get a project going!

I swear this is a fix-it fic

[farenmaddox]

My entry is from the season 9 fix-it I started writing on a whim the other day, document currently titled "little meow meow angel boy."

Dean had only vague explanations about Sam’s health and the target on Castiel’s back. It seemed to hurt him; he hunched over like he was stabbing himself in the gut as he spoke. Castiel barely noticed as a furious surge of pride crested in the wake of the hurt he forced aside. He knew this already. They all knew this; had known it for the days and days it had taken to get here, and Dean had waited to change his mind until Castiel had finally started to believe that things would be okay. And now all he had were pathetic excuses. He offered Castiel platitudes and a wilted-looking handful of paper from his wallet. Well, fuck that. Fuck him.

From a current WIP and I didn't have to find a clever way to write it in this time—although that actually does push me to write more and be more inventive when I do, so.... Anyways here's the share:


The set-up is impressive. Dean can’t quite accept at face value that it works the way Ash described but he opts for a placating nod in the hopes he’s one step closer to getting the job.

“All righty, then. I’m gonna take myself and this sweet do—” Ash tosses his head like the women in shampoo commercials.

Dean tries not to gawk at Ash’s obvious pride in his mullet.

“—come on, man, you know it’s the perfect look: all business up front; party in the back.”

“Whatever you say, Ash. Where’s the eight track?”

I always get excited when Ash shows up in a fic because he's just such a delight. Can't wait to see where you're going with this!

Little snippet from a fic I'm working on called "internet fic" in my docs folder. AU Cas works for his sister Anna's bath bomb company. Dean is a cam model/instagram influencer.

“How was your day?”

“Good. Productive. We’re working on some special summer bath bombs including some Pride ones, and Anna wanted my input as the representative of the LGBT community in our company.”

“Aren’t you the only two people who work there?”

“Sort of. We did hire a part-time seasonal associate last year to prep for Christmas, and we have some contractors to help with taxes and things like that, but I suppose yes, we’re the only full-time employees. Which I guess means that 50% of our workforce is gay.”

“Wow, how progressive,” Dean laughs, probably a little too loud for a very mild joke.

okay but that is lowkey kind of hilarious
