• rosivan wrote me a ficlet for a prompt i didn't even remember leaving on the spn_castiel commentfic meme: cas acknowledges his feelings for dean and attempts to woo him, in his own socially inept, overly-earnest, cas-like way. dean isn't that clueless ;] I WILL TOTES CONSIDER THIS A BDAY GIFT EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T SPECIFY IT WAS. :'> it's lovely and understated and entirely heart-warming.

• birthday cas doodles! from aldehyde. based on scenes from 5x10 :D it has cas/cellphone(/dean ;]), the CASWALK and cas/shot glasses. :p

• another one from the dean/cas holiday commentfic meme: castiel adopts a kitten. by uselessplayback. NEED I SAY MORE? NO I DON'T.

• asleep, at heaven's gate by schmoooop. wherein Gabriel schools Castiel on the finer things in life and teaches him how to laugh, swear in borrowed language, and take a leap of faith.

ahfgshjfdk. this is just, omfg. SO BEAUTIFUL it makes me wanna cuddle it and roll on the floor like my cat does when she's happy. an amazing interpretation of heaven, the life of angels, and the family they form. it makes what we saw of gabriel and the castiel-gabriel relationship in canon all the more heartbreaking. omg flaaaaaail.



i gotta go now. my stomach wants to go to war against me.
