vanimadin: (Make The NaNo Your B*tch)
Hoooooooly SHIT I just finished Storm Season! 8D And while the word count in Storm Season is higher than that of Horror High (76,416 vs 70,659) they actually both ended up being the EXACT SAME PAGE LENGTH, coming in at 167 each. XD But that's how much denser the text was in SS, I guess, so whatever! I'm still super hyped! <33

Now I just need to EDIT the entire freaking thing, which I'm hoping to get done before the end of the month so I don't have it hanging over my head while I'm trying to work on the NaNo. But it's only the 16th today, so I should be good.

It occurred to me yesterday that in the last sliiiightly less than three months, I have written almost 500 pages (about 484-ish) in this series, not to mention all the other bits-and-bobs of other stuff I've written as well; Snowflakes And Dragons, Coffee Break, etc., and like... 500 pages is TWO novels. I have written AT LEAST two novels worth of content in the last three months, since I went on the ADHD meds, and is this what it's actually like?? To have a FUNCTIONAL BRAIN?? Because WOW. .__.

So maybe, MAYBE I actually have it in me to just... WRITE BOOKS. BE AN ACTUAL AUTHOR. Because I know that my ideas are good, so if I can get them written out like I have with the Horror High (et al) series, I'm pretty much GOLDEN. It's a surreal thought. Something I've strived for and struggled with my entire life. Literally my dream, to share my stories with the world. It's why I got into fanfiction, too.

So I'm going to do TKA for the NaNo this year and attempt 50,000 words in a month, and though I'm sure I can manage THAT, TKA is going to be longer than 50,000 words so I'll have to keep working on it after the NaNo is over to complete it. Or just write 80,000 words in a month. I could just do that. :|

And once I have TKA WRITTEN, then I can edit the shit out of it half a dozen times before finally trying to find an agent that will take me on and hock my wares for me, you know? I'm not 100% sure where to start with that but... I'll muddle through somehow. Because I definitely want an agent if I can possibly get one, rather than trying to sell my book around to publishing companies myself. I'll get way better contracts if I have an agent.

Anyway. Just. I shouldn't put the cart before the horse. Finish TKA first, that's the big one.

BUT ALSO YAY STORM SEASON!!!
vanimadin: (Work On Your Damn Fic)
I should really, seriously be working on Storm Season right now. I should have been working on it ALL NIGHT while I couldn't SLEEP. But every time I go to that word file I'm like "UGH" and then I go off to dick around doing something else instead. I'm just at a part that doesn't interest me that much (HUNTING) and I'm not so great at writing (HUNTING) compared to other things (ANGST & FLUFF & SMUT) and I'm like... I don't wanna.

But I have to just power through it for the sake of the story, right? Just write it even though I'm going "BLEGH" over it and get it done and over with... at least until the next Hunt in the fic BECAUSE FOR SOME GODDAMN REASON THERE ARE THREE HUNTS IN THIS FIC. *facepalm*

At least the third Hunt I have some idea how it's going to go, I have a mental scenario going on, and I finished writing the first one a few days ago, it's just the middle one that I'm all "BAH" over right now because I honestly have no idea where I'm going with it or why I put it in the fic in the first place, aside from needing Dean and Sam to be busy doing SOMETHING to write in-and-around the angst. Like the ENTIRE FIC couldn't just be Dean DRINKING HIMSELF INTO OBLIVION (though he does do a lot of that, especially in the beginning.)

I think I just might have hit a wall with this particular (HUNT) scene and need to skip ahead to something else for a little while or something. It's still writing Storm Season, it's just switching topics briefly to clear my head. :|

Title: Everything I Do

Pairing: Destiel

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: Just. All the smut. All of it.

Summary: When Dean calls on Cas to meet up with him, even though it’s only been seven weeks since their last meeting, Cas agrees immediately, and books a bus to Lawrence, Kansas. But meeting Dean in Lawrence isn’t all burgers and sex, things are COMPLICATED for Dean in Lawrence. Always have been, probably always will be. Plus, he’s just coming off a positively DISASTROUS Hunt with his Dad. Over the weekend, Cas learns a little more about his boyfriend—and maybe Dean learns a little more about himself as well.

Notes: Literally ended up writing this just to include one specific scene that I WANTED to include in Cerulean Blue and ended up having to leave out. This one, like Cerulean Blue, has a plot (if you squint), so it’s not JUST about the smut, though there IS plenty of that. Also just, like, so many feels.

A BRIEF, SHINING MOMENT OF TOP!CAS AND BOTTOM!DEAN (that was REALLY weird for me to write) before we return to your regularly scheduled Top!Dean and Bottom!Cas. Is everyone happy now? :D;;

Cas is, again, taking a bus from Tallahassee to Lawrence, and teh google tells me that to drive that distance takes 16 hours and 16 minutes. So, adding on time for stops and transfers, I rounded it up to a 21-hour trip (give or take) for him. Sucks not being able to drive (this is coming from someone who, in fact, does NOT drive, so I know.)

Go listen to “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” by Bryan Adams, if you never have. It’s a fantastic song and ABSOLUTELY embodies Cas and Dean’s relationship in this particular AU: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0pdQU87dc8 <3
 

EVERYTHING I DO
By Senashe
nta

[Motel 6, 6850 W. 108th Street, room 2.]

It was only seven weeks after their week together in New York City and the whole Sally debacle, and Cas was already coming off another twenty-one-hour bus ride, this time to Lawrence, Kansas, where Dean was waiting for him, apparently at an actual Motel 6 this time. He hauled his backpack off the bus with him and headed out to the front of the station to hail a cab, and soon he was on his way to the motel, exhausted from his long trip.

Not that Cas was complaining. It would be nice, to be seeing Dean so soon after their last meetup. Usually there was at least three, sometimes four months in-between, and the time always seemed to go by like molasses, even though they kept in touch over the phone and the computer in the meantime.

But something had seemed… different, this time around, when Dean had said he could take the time to meet Cas again so soon. Something in his voice had been off. There had been a sort of urgency there, for the last-minute meetup. When Cas had asked about it, Dean had brushed him off, but Cas knew something was wrong—maybe not anything huge or life-altering, but something.

I've been off of working on Storm Season the last three days or so, which isn't good. I'm trying to get it AND all the post-SS one-shots finished by the end of the month. But I'm having a HELL of a time concentrating on it right now, I kind of just want to write the one-shots instead, which is a problem because they, obviously, take place AFTER Storm Season, so I don't want to write them and then have to edit the shit out of them when they don't line up with SS "canon", you know? But it's what my brain wants to write right now, and it IS part of what I want to get done by the end of the month, so...???

Right now I have When Lightning Strikes, Ghost In The Machine and Pinfeathers open to work on along with Storm Season, since they're the first three of the post-SS one-shots so it makes logical sense that I would work on them first, right? But I also REALLY want to work on Halcyon Days and Stalagmites, which are the LAST two, so like idek brain what are you doing to me, here?

I'm also tinkering with Where Monsters Come From, which I STRUGGLED with for the longest time and now, FINALLY, am having some luck at writing some scenes?? NOW?? WHEN IT IS THE LITERAL WORST TIME?? I have no idea, really, I just think my brain is trying to kill me or drive itself more insane or something.

On a side note, I really do think I need an increase in my ADHD meds, they're not working nearly as well as they did in the beginning, and that's the thing with me and medications; my body adjusts to them really easily, so I start off fine but then my body adjusts and my dosage has to be upped and my body adjusts and my dosage has to be upped and so on, until I'm on HUGE dosages of (most of) my meds. Looks like the Vyvanse might be the same way, not that I'm all that surprised.

ANYWAY. Then last night I started a short story that I've had kicking around the back of my head since I was like 14. It's called "A Dog Named God" and it's kind of my own personal thoughts on the concept of God, but put in a supernatural/fantasy setting because I can't just write an ESSAY now, can I?

Then I also want to work some more on Chemistry (and Chemistry side-fics, I have one about Violet Parr and Katie Mitchell that's really cute) and get working on Marked again, but first I have to like... READ Marked again because it's been so long that I completely forget where I was going with it aside from the gratuitous smut. :D;;

On top of that I want to finish up some of my old Valdemar stuff (Brothers At Arms, Marionette, Aftershocks, Fallout, Evolution, Of The Deepest Dye, Whipstitch, Outlander, A Dangerous Pastime) and I have a few new ones that I want to get started on AT SOME POINT as well (Heart, Sterling, A MILLION-ONE SHOTS) and the entire Cole and Hadley series that I still want to write, even though I never heard back from Mercedes Lackey about Inside Out (I still have to write the rest of Breaking Point, then Against The Grain, Firebug, Burning Bridges and Birds Of A Feather.)

I also want to write another Black Companion fic, one unrelated to Of The Deepest Dye, but I don't know what for or what the plot would be. Maybe the Star-Eyed coming through with her threat to create black versions of Companions, after all? Black hides and starfield-eyes, instead of white hides with blue eyes? ...oh. Maybe I'll dust off Yasmine and Syril and Jasha and Malicha, that story had potential. Hmm.

Oh, and a couple of Teen Wolf Sterek one-shots (Stupid Love and Carousel Coffee And More) that I need to finish eventually, too. Stupid Love I originally started over a year ago as a gift for Poe, but my brain was such a bag of cats that I just... I was struggling SO HARD to write ANYTHING, and Poe started to get frustrated with me, but I didn't even know how to explain it. The static in my brain, or the bouncy balls. And now they understand THAT part, but not only are we not in contact anymore, but even if we WERE I couldn't send Stupid Love to them because of the TW trauma.

When I posted What Foxes Like for them back in January of this year, I probably did them damage, if they even read it. They probably didn't. But What Foxes Like went over pretty well on AO3 regardless, so I'm looking forward to seeing if Stupid Love and/or Carousel Coffee And More do well, too, or if What Foxes Like was just a one-off fluke.

Title: Cerulean Blue

Pairing: Destiel

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: SO MUCH SEX.

Summary: Cas and Dean meet up in New York City for one of their weekends alone together, and it starts out perfectly: spending seemingly endless amounts of time together, expressing desperately missed affection, and of course, having sex. Then they go for a walk down by the pier and find… something. Something WEIRD. Something Dean should probably be HUNTING, except it’s not like any monster he’s seen before. Cas and Dean decide to take it back with them and try to salvage their week while the little beastie does it’s best to cause them nothing but trouble.

Notes:

Right, so more smut and fluff, but Cerulean Blue has a bit of a plot in it as well, so it’s got that going for it! :D;; (Who are we kidding, we all know you’re here for the smut. :P)

Interestingly, the one thing I obsess over is the travel times and how long it takes Cas to take the bus to all these different places, so I make a point of being relatively accurate with that because my OCD brain insists on it for some Goddamn reason. In this case, it takes roughly 16 hours and 25 minutes to drive from Tallahassee to NYC, so I added four hours for stops, transfers and layovers (since Cas IS taking the bus) which brings us to 20 hours and 25 minutes, give or take. Ta-daa!!

ALSO. Thank you so much to everyone who’s left comments/kudos on Horror High, Cheap Motel and Counting Scars in the last week, it’s really been helpful in cheering me up a bit and inspirational for working on writing the Horror High sequel. I’m glad SOME PEOPLE out there are enjoying this series! <33333

CERULEAN BLUE
By Senashent
a

[31 Broadway Hotel, 38 West 31st Street, floor 4, room 12.]

For once they weren’t really meeting at a city in the middle. Usually, when they planned their meetups, Cas and Dean picked a town or city in-between Tallahassee, where Cas was currently living for school, and whatever city Dean happened to be in at the time. That seemed like the fair thing to do, all things considered. Sometimes one of them traveled a little father than the other, but never too much. Cas had seen half the country over the last four years of his relationship with Dean, he thought, not that it was a bad thing.

This time was different, though: Dean had been in New York City on a job, so they probably would have met up somewhere in North Carolina or Virginia, but Cas had expressed interest because he had never been to New York City, so Dean had suggested, if Cas didn’t mind being the one to do all the traveling this time around, that he simply stay put and Cas join him. He already had a hotel room and everything, he would just extend his stay.

Title: Counting Scars

Pairing: Destiel

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: Sex. Just. All the sex.

Summary: Three years after their first meetup in a motel in Amarillo, Texas, Dean and Cas are used to traveling to meet up with each other every couple of months or so. This time it’s in Raleigh, North Carolina, where they spend (most of) a weekend locked up together in a (not so) cheap hotel, making up for lost time and reaffirming their love for one another once more… until Dean’s DAD stops by unexpectedly to pound on the door and drag him away for a JOB, anyway.

Notes: Okay so the Horror High series was originally supposed to just be four fics: Horror High (10 chapters), Cheap Motel (one-shot), Counting Scars (one-shot) and then Storm Season (which is going to be X-number of chapters long, but I’m hoping around 10 the same as Horror High.)

But somewhere along the way other one-shots, Cerulean Blue, Everything I Do, and Falling Stars, just kind of… cropped up in-between Horror High and Storm Season. So, then the series was up to SEVEN fics. UNTIL. More one-shots appeared that take place AFTER Storm Season. SEVEN of them. And now the series is up to FOURTEEN fics, two of which have multiple chapters, and I have DUG MY OWN GRAVE, here! And all for a series with an EXTREMELY small following, so I’m pretty much writing it all for myself! :D;;

ANYWAY.

Top!Dean and Bottom!Cas the same as the rest of this series. If that’s not your jam, feel free to back out now. I just happen to like them that way. Also, gratuitous smut abounds!

On a personal note, I’m having a really rough go of it right now and my writing is pretty much all I have at the moment. Destiel, Lambden, Geraskier, Hijack and Valdemar are getting me through some tough times. Comments help cheer me up, if you’ve got the time and inclination. (If not, thank you for reading, anyway.)
 

COUNTING SCARS

[Days Inn, 3201 Wake Forest Road, room 16. Love you.]

Cas was rather stumped by this one because the hotel he was looking at simply wasn’t… shitty enough. Usually the Winchesters picked the cheapest, weirdest, most run-down motels they could find to fly under the radar, and while this hotel wasn’t five-star by any means, it certainly wasn’t run-down. It was nicely kept. It was clean. It was two stories. It had a pool (albeit one that was closed for the season.) Cas was frankly confused as hell, after three years of these little meetups.

So I'm coming into the SPN fandom with Horror High etc. four years after the series ended and I guess the fandom just... died a lot, after that. Which is really sad, considering how much content SPN gave the fandom over the years, it should have kept them going for like another decade at least but apparently as soon as the show ended half the "fans" were like I'M OUT.

It's too bad, really, because SPN is still a great series, but it's probably half the reason why Horror High etc. aren't catching on like they should be. If I had written the Horror High SAGA like five years ago, I would have been GOLDEN, but... nope. My brain produced it in summer 2024 instead, so I guess it is what it is! The few reviews that I DO get are generally really positive, so I'm just hanging my hat on that and also the fact that my brain WILL NOT LET IT GO.

Literally GO BIG OR GO HOME with this series, it turns out, so I'm in it for the long haul and I'll just keep posting even if literally no one reads it. *I* like it and that's the important thing.

Anyway, I'm up to 95 pages and 42,194 words so far in Storm Season and I'm REALLY hoping to get it finished before November hits and I take my break to write TKA. Then I can edit it in my (HAH) spare time and start posting it in December, and finish up the one-shots while I'm posting it. That sounds like a plan to me. Assuming everything goes the way I hope it does. :D;;

Right, so after I finish Storm Season (and TKA) and the Storm Season one-shots, the plan is to edit the SHIT out of TKA and then get out there and try to find myself a book agent to hock my wares. Not. Not the SPN stuff, obviously, but TKA. And then I want to get working on Pelts For Pounds and also Ghosts Of Nameless Stars, because I promised Poe I would write it ages ago.

Not that that really matters anymore, but I would like to be able to send it to them completed and just be like "Happy Birthmas", you know? Some time in January. So hopefully I can get that done. It's only a short story, though, I'm aiming for around 30 pages, so it shouldn't take forever to write. Theoretically.

I have two other short stories I want to write as well, one is called The Reeds and is something from FOREVER ago, I mean years and years ago, that keeps popping up in my brain time and time again, and the other is called Pluto's World (tentatively) and is just going to be a silly little fluff piece, as opposed to all my for srs writing that I normally do.

After that... I dunno. Depends on if I can get an agent/publisher to get behind the whole TKA franchise. Because if SO then I would need to get working on Book 3 of the TKA series (Grimoire), but if NOT then I think I might like to take a stab at Sins Of Angels. =/

I'm still working on the notes for Serial Spirits and The Rabid, both of which are largely horror genre, which is kind of me meandering into a new genre. I don't normally write strictly horror stuff. But what the hell, right? I'll write basically anything, if it comes down to it, with the exception of Harlequin-type bodice-rippers. I don't mind romance as a plot, but it can't be the entire book, just... blegh.

Also, funnily enough, I write SO MUCH smut in my fanfiction (except for Valdemar), but I don't write ANY in my original fiction. All my original stuff is very SFW, which Mom appreciates the HELL out of. I'm not entirely sure WHY it's like that, I just... I 'unno. *SHRUG* I get all the sex out of the way in my fics and then my original stuff is clean. Which is a plus because it's mostly aimed at YA so it can't be porny anyway, haha.

On a completely unrelated note, I posted Counting Scars to AO3 and Tumblr this past Thursday and never got around to posting it here for... some... reason. idek. Anyway, I'll post it here some time today or tomorrow when I remember, I promise!

EDIT: FUCK IT I'M JUST GONNA POST IT NOW WHILE I'M THINKING OF IT.
vanimadin: (Work On Your Damn Fic)
Okay, so, we'll start off with the obvious. I finished posting Horror High 10 Days ago, and as of today it has 1,704 Hits, 23 Bookmarks, 100 Kudos and 48 Comments, and the numbers are still climbing just a little day by day, mostly because I posted Cheap Motel 3 Days ago and that funnelled more traffic back through to HH. Anyway, so far Cheap Motel has 254 Hits, 1 Bookmark, 26 Kudos and 2 Comments. Which is... fine. Again, not expecting much from this entire AU at this point but I'll take what I can get. :|

Ummm... I'm 84 pages into Storm Season now and it's coming along nicely, but idk if it'll be done in time for the beginning of November. I was hoping to have it finished so I could post chapters during November while I was working on the NaNo, but I might have to postpone it until the beginning of December instead. I have four more HH one-shots leading up to SS to post the next four weeks (Counting Scars, Cerulean Blue, Everything I Do and Falling Stars, each of which is around 30 pages long) but then there might have to be a hiatus before Storm Season. We'll see, though, if I can get SS written and edited by the end of October then we're golden.

(The NaNo is really messing me up this year. The NaNo always messes me up tbh. XD)

Anyway, as for post-Storm Season one-shots, there are SEVEN of the freaking things: When Lightning Strikes, Ghost In The Machine, Teeth, Pinfeathers, Temper Tantrums, Halcyon Days and Stalagmites. I've already started all of them except Temper Tantrums, and written varying degrees of them, from like two paragraphs to half the fic. I've especially been working in When Lightning Strikes, Pinfeathers and Stalagmites. But like I SHOULDN'T be working on them AT ALL because I haven't even finished STORM SEASON yet so I'm going to just have to go back and edit them for details later ANYWAY. *facepalm* Just putting the cart before the horse, I guess.

I shut down all my 15+ Word tabs a couple days ago except for my Journal, TKA and Storm Season in an attempt to get myself to FOCUS properly, aaaaaand now I have Pinfeathers, Stalagmites and Carousel Coffee And More open again, idek what happened there. :| I'm just kind of like WELP. OKAY THEN. I've tried closing down most of my tabs before and they all always just seem to pop back up again, I'm not so sure it's a viable option for me, except for a few blessed days before I start opening tabs again.

I'm still tinkering with my ABO Destiel fic, Tying Knots, and I'm thinking about writing a sequel to it, Quick Hitch, where it turns out that Cas's assessment that he couldn't sire pups in his currently body was INCORRECT and Dean finds out the hard way and they're like JFC just. Nephilim baby INCOMING.

Also there's Where Monsters Come From, my SPN/Valdemar crossover, which I keep starting and then scrapping and starting again, and scrapping again... idk I just can't figure out how to get the whole ball of wax rolling for that one. =/

.....

So, Carousel Coffee And More is my next Teen Wolf Sterek fic and it's kind of... bittersweet, because it was going to be dedicated to a friend of mine who is... no longer a friend. But even more than that, they don't like TW anymore anyway, so I guess I wouldn't have been able to dedicate it to them even if we WERE still friends. It's hard because I dedicated What Foxes Like to them back in January and it probably caused them trauma because of certain events a while back. I didn't mean to, obviously, but.... well. There's nothing I can do about it now. Anyway, I'm just writing Carousel Coffee And More and all my other Sterek stuff for myself from now on because I enjoy it and if I enjoy it I'm going to write it. That's the long and short of it.

I've put a hold on Witcher SPN AU for now (until I finish Storm Season et al) but when I get back to it the first two I'm going to write (finish) are Rewarding Heroism and Wayward Sons. I also know how I'm going to eventually FINISH the series, with a fic titled The Road So Far, which basically has the Wolves/etc. packing up and leaving the bunker in Sam and Dean's capable hands, moving on to a new base of operations in the badlands of South Dakota.

I've also got Alien: Kaer Morhen to work on, which might be my next big project once the entire Horror High/Storm Season/etc, series is finished.

And I desperately want to work on something Valdemar related (other than Where Monsters Come From, which is VEXING ME), but I just don't have the time. Just a one-shot would do me. Not Horses, maybe, or Wander,or Knowing, or Senses. I, uh, like one-word titles apparently. :D

Anyway, Not Horses is about Charley, a boy who is Chosen by the stallion Arsalides, and who has a CRIPPLING PHOBIA OF HORSES. Wander is about Bastian, a Companion stallion who's always had wandering hooves, and one day wanders his way right into his Chosen (Aislen.) Knowing is about Jedda, an odd boy with powerful foresight who basically Sees his own Choosing and decides to head it off at the pass, and heads up to Companion's Field asking to speak to the Companion Shaffia. And Senses is about a blind girl (Astrid) being Chosen by a deaf Companion (Volker) and both of them completing each other in more than the usual sense.

And then, of course, there's the entiiiiiiiiire Cole/Hadley series (Inside out, Breaking Point, Against The Grain, Firebug, Burning Bridges, Birds Of A Feather) that I should be working on, but I'm kind of like... I dunno. I wrote Inside Out and it was GOOD and I sent it away to Mercedes Lackey for consideration YEARS ago and never heard back positive OR negative and that whole experience has really... kind of soured me on this series, even though I have it all figured out. Like at least write back and tell me it's not suitable so I can post it somewhere and maybe get some comments and kudos. I dunno.

tldr; I HAVE LOTS OF VALDEMAR IDEAS, I JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO WRITE THEM.

So yeah that's basically it, I think, for now. For fanworks anyway. I have tons of original stuff that I'm working on here-and-there. Sins Of Angels, Threes, Scarlet Letters, etc., but I'm not going to talk about them here. Sorry!

Title: Coffee Break

Warnings: Smut, language.

Summary: North has to leave the house to actually go in to work and studying get tedious and boring, so Jack and Hiccup take a break for a cup of coffee. What happens from there? Well, teenaged boys will be teenaged boys, after all, and Jack’s Dad IS out of the house…

Notes: I’ve been so buried in my SPN fic lately that taking a break to work on Snowflakes And Dragons was actually REALLY NICE? Kind of cleared my head. So, I wrote this fic as well, since I was so into the last one. I’ll be going back to SPN fic now, but I’m going to try to make more regular forays into the Hijack stuff again, I’ve been neglecting it for too long. (I have the next chapters of Marked and Chemistry open in Word as I type this!) So, more Hijack to come!

Except not in November. November is the NaNo and I am DETERMINED to beat it this year. >|

COFFEE BREAK
A Biology Side-Fic
By Senash
enta

It was May and it was already starting to get unbearably hot out, which didn’t bode well for the summer. Luckily, Jack’s house had central air, and they were able to just switch that on for days like this, so that made it much more livable. That also meant that he and Hiccup did a lot more hanging out at his house instead of the punk’s, but that was, in general, fine with both of them. (It was actually probably better, since Hiccup’s Dad still didn’t know about their relationship.)

Today was a Sunday, and Hiccup had arrived early, showing up at ten in the morning hauling a backpack full of textbooks, notebooks, pens and pencils. Jack had just barely been up and dressed when he got there and was yawning into a bowl of oatmeal at the kitchen table when North answered the door and let Hiccup inside.

Title: Horror High

Pairing: Destiel

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: Sex, Violence

Summary: John Winchester plants his eldest son at Caspar High in Jacksonville because weird things have been happening there: people disappearing. People reappearing only dead and drained of all their bodily fluids. Cocoons. It’s up to Dean to figure out what’s stalking Caspar’s halls and deal with it accordingly; but then he meets the New Kid—newer than him, even, the New-New Kid—Castiel Novak, and all his plans get severely derailed. Now Dean has to juggle the supernatural case—a really hungry jorogumo—and also the fact that he’s very quickly falling in love, something that is absolutely forbidden by his dad.

Meanwhile Castiel, shoved into the third new school in a year because his adoptive father—Chuck Shurley’s—job has them moving around a lot, struggles to fit in at Caspar High, not only because he’s the New Kid but because he’s the weird New Kid. Dean seems like a saving grace, a harbor in a storm, someone who doesn’t judge him—that is until Cas finds out about Dean’s night job. Cas’s life just got a whole lot stranger—but that doesn’t stop him from falling for Dean, regardless.

Notes: Here we are, at the last chapter, for those few of you who actually stuck it out with me! A fluff and smut chapter with a high-ish note ending for you. And I have several follow-up one-shots to post after this as well, so I’ll be posting the first one, Cheap Motel, in a couple of weeks—or maybe sooner, if the mood strikes me, so keep a look out. <3

Thank you to those of you who actually DID read all of Horror High, and especially those who left comments or kudos. There weren’t many of you, and I appreciate you all. After the follow-up one-shots, there’s an actual SEQUEL to Horror High in the works, Storm Season, which will have chapters like Horror High has, but it’s somewhat important that you read the one-shots because Storm Season directly hinges on the last one.

HORROR HIGH
Chapter Ten

The next day Cas let himself sleep in until almost eleven o’clock. He was feeling much better, true, but he wasn’t back to one hundred percent yet, and Dean was right that he needed his rest.

When he came downstairs after getting ready for the day it was almost noon, and his father gave him a surveying look as if he was making sure Cas wasn’t still ‘sick.’ Evidently, he decided that his son was alright, because he didn’t actually say anything except to ask what Cas wanted for lunch.

Title: Snowflakes And Dragons

Pairing: Hijack

Rating: Teen

Warnings: Language. Like, so much language.

Summary: In the spring after a memorable Christmas break, Hiccup and Jack spend as much time together as possible, now that it’s okay with North. Jack admires Hiccup’s tattoos—and muses that he might, someday, like to get one of his own. But Hiccup jumps on THAT particular idea, and the next thing Jack knows the two of them are at the tattoo parlor Hiccup has been going to for years, Wayfinder Ink.

Notes: Hoooooooooly SHIT my peeps, look at me coming in out of nowhere (by “nowhere” I mean the SPN fandom) with another Biology side-fic. This is one I planned to write YEARS ago and never got around to, and then I was editing some of my old stuff and saw the listing for Snowflakes And Dragons on the Biology Master Post on Tumblr and was like… yes. Yes, I believe I shall. :|

A bit belated but have some more (smut-adjacent) RPNAU! :D Can also be read ON AO3. <3
 

SNOWFLAKES AND DRAGONS
A Biology Side-Fic
By Senash

It was no secret that Hiccup Haddock had tattoos; he wore sleeveless shirts as often as he could in the warmer months so the ones on his arms were obvious, and his rugby teammates could attest to the other ones, the ones that decorated his torso, all tribal designs or dragons, things that he found meaningful but weren’t particularly scandalous.

Only Jack knew about the one on Hiccup’s upper thigh, leading into his groin—a two-headed dragon spouting clouds of gas and fire. And he only knew about that one for reasons that his father would probably never want to hear about (and he would never tell to anyone else, either.)

CROSSROADS
By Senashenta

Lambert knew this was a Bad Idea—capital B, capital I—even before he buried the cigar box full of tokens in the middle of the crossroads out in Gods’ green nowhere, but it was also his Only Idea. His brother was dying and he couldn’t let that happen. So here he was, summoning a Crossroads Demon to make a deal for Geralt’s life because of stupidity and carelessness during their last Hunt.

Geralt would have his hide when he found out about this, assuming it worked. Assuming he survived. So would Eskel, still back at base camp taking care of Geralt. Eskel had no idea Lambert was out there, about to barter with his soul, and would have kicked his ass thoroughly if he’d known about his little plan. No, this was definitely a Bad Idea…

Summary: John Winchester plants his eldest son at Caspar High in Jacksonville because weird things have been happening there: people disappearing. People reappearing only dead and drained of all their bodily fluids. Cocoons. It’s up to Dean to figure out what’s stalking Caspar’s halls and deal with it accordingly; but then he meets the New Kid—newer than him, even, the New-New Kid—Castiel Novak, and all his plans get severely derailed. Now Dean has to juggle the supernatural case—a really hungry jorogumo—and also the fact that he’s very quickly falling in love, something that is absolutely forbidden by his dad.

Meanwhile Castiel, shoved into the third new school in a year because his adoptive father—Chuck Shurley’s—job has them moving around a lot, struggles to fit in at Caspar High, not only because he’s the New Kid but because he’s the weird New Kid. Dean seems like a saving grace, a harbor in a storm, someone who doesn’t judge him—that is until Cas finds out about Dean’s night job. Cas’s life just got a whole lot stranger—but that doesn’t stop him from falling for Dean, regardless.

Chapter Nine

Four days into his convalescence, and Cas was already going stir-crazy.

Dean continued to visit him every day to keep him company for a while and help him with his bandages, but he could only stay for so long before he had to get back to the motel to keep an eye on Sam (or Cas’s father kicked him out so Cas could continue resting up from ‘the flu.’) They took to showering together each day, but somehow managed to keep their hands off each other after the first time (mostly.)

Cas had spent most of the first couple of days after being injured just sleeping through the pain, of course, but after that he started carefully puttering around his room, toying around on his laptop—looking up news reports about what had been found outside Caspar High the morning after the Hunt; apparently it was all being written off as a prank or vandals—and reading books. All things that didn’t pull at his wounds too much.

vanimadin: (Cas Looking Up)
I have seven post-Storm Season one-shots planned out, but one of them I'm considering just writing as it's own separate fic so that one might not count. :|

Basically, in order: When Lightning Strikes, By Any Other Name, Pinfeathers, Teeth, Hair Trigger, Hunting Souls and Halcyon. Except Hunting Souls has literally nothing to do with the Horror High AU or story arc, it just struck me as a good concept and I wanted to write it and at the time I was working on Storm Season one-shots so it kind of got lumped in with them. I think I'm going to pull it from the lineup and just write it as it's own little standalone fic instead, after I'm done with the entire HH arc.

When Lightning Strikes (formerly Like Feathers, Softly) is about Cas returning to Earth after the ending of Storm Season; By Any Other Name is a Cas/Charlie reunion fic and I don't really have the actual PLOT figured out yet; Pinfeathers is new and very Under Construction stuff; Teeth is a Cas/Garth reunion fic where the boys are up against a tooth fairy and need Garth's expertise; Hair Trigger is a Cas/Jody reunion fic and, like the one with Charlie, I don't really have the actual PLOT figured out yet, and Halcyon is literally just being written for Destiel fluff and smut and not much else. :D;

And I mean, I should NOT be working on the post-Storm Season one-shots BEFORE I've even finished Storm Season itself, but... here we are! So I'm kind of jumping around between all of those (except Hunting Souls, I haven't started that one yet), writing snippets as they come to me.

I'm still very much stuck in the fanfiction setting right now, which is unfortunate because there are so many original projects I could/should be working on, but I plan to set all the fandom stuff aside in November, no matter what, to hopefully get TKA finished for the NaNo this year.

I don't really have a good... track record. With the NaNo. Basically most years I sign up for it and have a really great idea for it and then as soon as November 1st hits? All my muses ABANDON SHIP. I'm not good with deadlines and stuff, which doesn't bode well for my goal of being a published author. I don't write well under pressure, I guess.

But I'm going to try my best this year, and maybe the ADHD meds will help me overcome my previous... difficulties. Here's hoping, anyway! :D;;

I already have FIVE one-shots written that take place after Horror High and leading up to Storm Season (which were mostly written for the sake of smut, tbh, though one or two do have a bit of a plot) to post once I’m done posting Horror High as well, so… I’ve been busy.

Chapter Eight

Dean gave it a whole twelve hours before he went to Cas’s house to check up on him, and the entire time he was waiting he was antsy, pacing the motel room or sitting with one leg bouncing restlessly while he scribbled in his notebook; notes about the Hunt, notes about the flamethrowers and how to improve them, notes about Sam, notes about Cas. Just generally driving Sam crazy. Specifically not calling their dad to tell him he’d finished the job they were in town for.

When Sam finally had enough of Dean climbing the walls, he slammed his laptop shut with a frustrated noise and ordered; “just go already!

Dean didn’t need to be told twice. He grabbed his spare jacket from the back of the chair he had been sitting on and headed for the door.

I finished Cerulean Blue this morning. There was one more scene I wanted to include in it at the end, but it just sort of... ended on me. That happens sometimes. Oh well. It clocked in at 35 pages long, so around the same length as Cheap Motel and Falling Stars, leaving Counting Scars as the outlier at about 8 pages shorter. For me these are all really long one-shots, usually my short fics are 8-->9 pages MAX.

Trying to resist the urge to write another one-shot in this series strictly to include the scene that I wanted to write in the end of Cerulean Blue. But maybe I can work it into Storm Season instead? Assuming Storm Season gets written. I keep wavering on it. Right now I'm ON, but in ten minutes I'll be OFF again, idk idk idk.

Writing Bobby in Cerulean Blue was fun, I'd never written him before (since I'm new to the whole SPNverse in general) but he came to me easy and so did the interactions between him and Dean and him and Cas. It was good. I'm looking forward to writing more of Bobby in the future, though idk if he's going to end up in Storm Season except maybe over the phone.

Writing John is much harder, especially with the relationship I've developed with him and Dean, and the way he feels about Dean and Cas's relationship. He's very... angry and abrupt, which I guess is IC for John Winchester, but I feel like I might be making him TOO strict, if that's possible? I dunno, he's only been in Counting Scars so far, and only for a very brief scene, so hopefully no one will freak out or anything.

People seem to like my portrayal of Sam, from the few reviews I HAVE received of Horror High so far, and the relationship between Dean and Cas. I'm slightly worried what they're going to think when I pull the rug out from under them at the end of Falling Stars, assuming they follow the series that far.

I know I should be working on writing other things right now, but I can't get my head out of this AU. I'm tempted to write that other one-shot, and I'm tempted to start on Storm Season. I KNOW after Storm Season there are going to be follow-up one-shots as well.

Maybe I should take a break and write some more Witcher SPN AU for a couple of days instead. I've still got like 14 fics in that AU open in Word right now, after all. Get my head out of Horror High AU for a little bit...

But first I need to edit Cerulean Blue so I can print it for my binder. Myep.

EDIT: Goddammit the new one-shot fic is called Everything I Do and it takes place between Cerulean Blue and Falling Stars. *FACEPALM*

HORROR HIGH
Chapter Seven
By Senashenta

Cas had assumed that things between him and Dean would… change, somehow, after Dean stayed overnight at his house. And they did, a little, just not in the Earth-shattering way he had privately feared they might.

Suddenly they were just… closer. There was more intimacy between them. Dean was even more attentive than he had been before. They both seemed to crave physical contact even more than they already had, even just the simple things, like brushing their hands together on the way past, or sitting close against each other’s sides at lunch.

And it was obvious to more than just them. Sam noticed, certainly, and made sarcastic comments whenever the three of them were together, not that that was to be unexpected.

And even Charlie—



vanimadin: (Supernatural)
Alright, so basically I originally wrote Horror High and about halfway through I decided I wanted to write a sequel to it, which I now have about 50% figured out and which went through MANY title changes, but is now called Storm Season for various reasons. I wasn't originally going to write ANY one-shots.

But then I was like "I should write a little in-between fic about Cas and Dean's clandestine meet-ups over the years between Horror High and Storm Season", and so Cheap Motel was born, and right off the hop I knew it was 100% going to be about the smut and not much else, though I did want to add a specific ending to it to lead up to the beginning of Storm Season.

And then Counting Scars came along. And for the longest time (keep in mind I am saying this like it has been six months when it's only been TWO) I figured THAT ONE was better for that specific ending that I wanted to use as Storm Season lead in. But then I started writing it and it turned into another fic ENTIRELY, Falling Stars, though Falling Stars DID retain that ending and is the last of the one-shots, chronologically.

So what to do about Counting Scars? Well obviously I still wanted to write it, so I did, just with a different ending since it was now the middle fic in the set. It turned out a little shorter than Cheap Motel and Falling Stars, which is FINE because THOSE TWO clocked in at like 36 pages each which is LONG for a one-shot. Counting Scars is more like 28, which is still long, but more reasonable.

Right, so then I'm like. I'm done. I have these three (trashy porn) fics written, I just have to wait to post them after I'm done posting Horror High in a month or so.

BUT THEN.

Yeah, an idea for ANOTHER one-shot poked me in the brainspace, they are COMING OUT OF THE WOODWORK, and the next thing I knew today I was starting to write Cerulean Blue (formerly I Heart NY), which is going to be just as smutty as the others, but actually has a plot to it, a lot like Falling Stars. A PLOT. IMAGINE THAT. Here's hoping Cerulean Blue is the last of the HH/SS mid-way fics??

But looking at how things are going, assuming I DO write Storm Season, and that's a BIG "IF" right now, after it's finished it'll probably be followed up by at least two or three one-shot fics as well, taking place after the events of Storm Season.

So like. Yeah. This entire series has really gotten away from me, which would be GREAT! ...if people were actually READING IT. But right now it's complete self-gratification, I'm writing all these things, PAGES AND PAGES, knowing that basically I'm the only one who's enjoying them. It really feels pointless at times, but for some reason I just keep writing.

I really wish people would leave kudos, at least, or concrit in comments. I want to know what I've done wrong (aside from make Chuck intentionally OOC) and what's turning people off of Horror High. Because I have all this other content to share and I'm kind of like... blegh. I don't know. AO3 and Tumblr nowadays aren't very motivating. =/
vanimadin: (Anti-Posession Symbol)
Okay so the last couple days I've been writing Counting Scars. Except it's not called Counting Scars anymore, it's called Falling Stars. Also I finished it and it came out to be about the same length as Cheap Motel, so around 34 pages or so. It just... DEVELOPED a plot, which I had not been anticipating, it was supposed to just be more of the same Cheap Motel gratuitous smut, but I GUESS SURPRISE PLOTLINE?? OKAY??

However, I am still writing a fic called Counting Scars (I'm currently 5 pages into it), it just goes BETWEEN Cheap Motel and Falling Stars, and it IS, in fact 80% sex. Or it's supposed to be, anyway, with the exception of the last little bit which gets kind of aggro. But then again, PLOTS ARE FALLING FROM THE SKY, APPARENTLY, SO WHO 
EVEN KNOWS.

Four more days until I pointlessly post Chapter Seven of Horror High. Start the countdown! ...says literally no one. :|
vanimadin: (Geralt Smiling)
I haven't been writing in Vanimadin as much lately, not really for any particular REASON, I just... haven't been. *shrug* But I did an entry last night and posted the latest chapter of Horror High just now, and I figured I'd take a few minutes while my morning pills are KICKING MY EVER-LOVING ASS to talk about my next big fandom project, Alien: Kaer Korhen. I'm still working on a BUNCH of fics in Witcher SPN AU (like... 14 of them, I think?) but the other day I saw an ad for Alien: Romulus and I was like YES. ALL THE YES.

So basically it's Witchers In Space. The Kaer Morhen is their spaceship, a little banged up and old but still more than serviceable, and the Wolves (Vesemir, Geralt, Lambert & Eskel) travel the galaxy as bounty hunters taking on monsters and men for pay. Along the way they've picked up two other stray Witchers from other guilds (Aiden & Coen), and the six of them are basically the last of their kind(s) after eons of life on the battlefield. Their crew also employs Yennefer and Triss, and they've picked up Jaskier and Ciri as well.

Aside from the Witchers in their obvious roles as WITCHERS, everyone has a role on the ship, a part to play:

Vesemir is the Captain, charged with making sure they get where they're going safely and on time, and generally looks after everyone else on board, he's the first face other captains see, and needs to be diplomatic because of that (but occasionally forgets that part.)

Geralt is first officer and tactical, second-in-command to Vesemir and in charge of munitions and weapons, anything in regard to defending themselves or warfare. Geralt is Ciri's adopted father.

Lambert is ship's engineer/mechanic and just basically Lambert. He doesn't get along with Triss, always referring to her snidely as "Merigold". The feeling is mutual.

Eskel is ship's cook, which entails the obvious, and is perfectly happy with his station. Wishes he could figure out a way to keep Lil' Bleater out of the kitchen, though.

Lil' Bleater as ship's Mascot because he is literally EVERYWHERE.

Aiden is ship's comms/liasons officer and the last of the Cat Witchers. He's smart as a whip and good at charming people. Also good with computers and hacking.

Yennefer is chief medical officer and suffers no fools. She patches people up efficiently and sends them on their way. Has a soft spot for Ciri. Is good friends with Triss.

Ciri is around 13-->14 years old, still just a kid but a rising star in tactical and not so bad in medical as well. Gets into trouble on a regular basis, as children are wont to do. 

Triss helps in medical and the kitchen, sometimes hydroponics, basically wherever she's needed. Would happily blast Lambert into space most days.

Jaskier is a drifter and "space bard", hocking his wares (music) on every ship and station they come across. He doesn't have much of a job on the ship, aside from babysitting Ciri.

Coen is hydroponics/livestock carer. One of the few remaining Griffon Witchers. Gets along well with Lambert. Like Eskel, perfectly happy with his lot in life.

As for relationships, Lambert and Aiden are in one and while most people think they're just fucking there's actually something THERE. They care for each other more than anyone else realizes (maybe more than even THEY realize.)

Geralt and Jaskier are also fucking, but strictly out of convenience, or so they tell themselves. Jaskier is actually head-over-heels for Geralt, though he never says anything. Geralt used to be sleeping with Yennefer-- until Jaskier came along. The fact that he STOPPED fucking her and STARTED fucking Jaskier, to the exclusion of all others, should say a lot, but neither Jaskier nor Geralt see it. Yennefer thinks they're both idiots.

ANYWAY.

So basically, the Kaer Morhen docks at the dodgy Velen space station for a couple of days of shore leave and to refuel, and from the depths of Velen's Forbidden Access lower levels a couple or three facehuggers scuttle onto the ship. When the crew returns and they head out again, all kinds of horrific shenanigans happen.

I have to do some research into the Alienverse weapons and whatnot, but I started writing the first couple pages last night and I'm looking forward to writing the rest. It's going to be very different from what I usually write, though, I don't think I've ever written anything that takes place in space before, not even in Star Trek universe. I'm going to write it like I wrote Horror High, I think, just write the entire thing before I start posting chapters, so I won't get discouraged and quit partway through if it doesn't get any feedback. I'm hoping it gets some traction, but I'm not pinning my hopes on it.

Notes:  I am getting some feedback that Chuck is OOC and I am AWARE he is OOC, I was going for a Chuck that is somewhere between prophet!Chuck and initial nice!God!Chuck because Cas needed a father that wasn’t a) a hopeless mess of a drunk or b) a megalomaniacal child having a constant temper tantrum. :D

HORROR HIGH
Chapter Six
By Senashen
ta

The next day after school, instead of Dean walking Cas home, Cas walked with him back to the motel. They needed to upload the cocoon photos they had taken the day before to Sam’s laptop, and this way they could spend a little more time together before Cas had to head home. He called his father to let him know he was at ‘Dean’s place’ and would be home in time for dinner.

He and Dean, admittedly, made out a little before Sam got home from school, but no one was surprised by that fact. This time the door was properly locked behind them, so Sam had to knock, which meant he at least didn’t walk in on them like last time. It could have been worse.

Once Sam was there (and Cas and Dean had fixed their clothes), they wasted no time in uploading the photos, and then all settled in for a research session while Sam went over the pictures with a fine-toothed comb.

Eventually, Sam was laying on one of the beds, going through a pile of old books, while Cas and Dean sat at the kitchenette table, Cas also going through books and Dean reading articles on Sam’s laptop. Cas had left his own laptop at home, mostly because he didn’t want to chance taking it to school with him and having it broken—or stolen.

An hour and a half in, Dean disappeared from the room and came back with his arms full of cans of soda, bags of chips and chocolate bars—he had raided the vending machines in the motel lobby. They all helped themselves and continued to work, munching away quietly.

When it got close to time for him to be leaving, though, Cas’s attention began to pull away from the book currently in front of him and toward Dean because—

So yesterday and today I've been really worried about Poe and to keep my mind occupied I've been writing. Which is no big surprise because that's basically all I do nowadays anyway. But yesterday instead of writing Witcher SPN AU like I have been the last week or so, I got out Cheap Motel and just... wrote it. Basically the whole thing.

I'd already written about 5 pages of it, but yesterday and today I finished it and it ended up at 34 pages. Which is, um. More. Than I had intended it to be. But at least it didn't do what Horror High did and become a 167-page monster of a fic. I think at 34 pages I can still post it as a one-shot, it'll just be a LONG one-shot.

Also an exceedingly porny one, like. Seriously. There are I think 5 sex scenes in Cheap Motel, not counting the MENTIONED ones that aren't actually WRITTEN OUT. But that was basically what I was writing Cheap Motel FOR, just gratuitous smut, so I guess mission accomplished? Basically the boys just locked themselves up in the motel for three days and had at it, with the occasional break for food or to shower.

And then the obvious drama over having to part ways at the end of the weekend.

I still have to edit it (I'm in the middle of that now) and then it gets stashed away to be posted at some point after I finish posting Horror High, since it's a Horror High sequel. In the meantime I can start working on Counting Scars, which is also going to be mostly porn but also fluff and setup for Storm Season, which I keep wavering on whether I'm going to even write or not.

Right NOW, just coming off writing Cheap Motel, I'm thinking yes? But every time I post a chapter of Horror High and get literally no feedback my motivation to write Storm Season wanes again. So I dunno, I guess we'll see. Maybe I'll take a break and write Alien: Kaer Morhen and then give Storm Season a go. Hmm.

“So did he like it?” Charlie was twisted around in her seat to face Cas again, an expectant expression on her face. Cas stared at her. “I worked really hard on it!”

“You told me it took you half an hour while you were watching American Idol.” Jody countered from her own seat, elbow on the desk and her chin in her palm.

Charlie gasped dramatically, “how dare you call me out like that, Jody!”

“She’s got a point.” This came from Garth, who was seated next to Cas on his right. He was grinning. “You sell for a hell of a markup, too. It’s a real racket.”

“Definitely. Charlie’s ripping you off, Cas.” Jody commented, a little smile on her own face now.

Cas tilted his head quizzically. “Are you ripping me off, Charlie?”

I'm relatively new to writing SPN fanfiction, as I've said before. I've written Horror High, and I'm partway through writing Cheap Motel and Counting Scars. Then there's Storm Season, which may or may not ever get written, depending on how I feel after I've finished posting all of the others. The HH storyline is my first real foray into SPN fics, or at least the only one that's ever come to anything. Years back I wanted to write Colt, which was about the Hunter that Samuel Colt made THE Colt for back in the 1800's. But writing a western is so beyond my abilities... idk. As much as I wanted to write Jacob's story, I don't think I'll ever get it done just because of the setting.

BUT I have vague memories of wanting to write an OC-driven fic about a group of Hunters in Canada, basically doing the same kind of thing as Sam and Dean but with more Canadian monsters, in a lot of cases. I can't remember what I wanted the overarching STORY to be, but I had the characters figured out like ten years ago and have since lost the information. I think one of them was named "Kenneth", but I could be wrong? I would have to completely redo the characters if I wanted to write this fic. Which I kind of DO, but...

It goes back to my thriving on feedback, and if I wrote and posted this one I know I wouldn't get much of it from the fandom because it would all be original characters in original situations, though they might mention Sam and Dean in passing once in a while. Maybe Sam and Dean could make a cameo? idk. But in general OC fics don't get feedback or much love and I know I would just completely lose interest in the fic a couple of chapters in when I didn't get any kudos or reviews. I would have to do with it what I did with HH and write the entire thing before I started posting it, and then be secretly bitter when I posted new chapters and no one gave a shit.

I think I could get away with writing Colt, even though it's mostly OCs, because Samuel Colt is in it? But I dunno. Like I said, I think writing Colt would be like pulling teeth for me. I don't want to put myself through that just for a fanfic.

Just. Thoughts. =/

EDIT: Okay so the Canadian!SPN fic is called "Numinous" and I just wrote the first paragraph of it LET'S FUCKIN' GO.

Horror High is currently at 406 hits, 7 bookmarks, 31 kudos and 17 comments (but two of those are me replying to comments someone else left.) But I just posted Chapter Four not even 24hrs ago so it could potentially go up a bit more in the next couple days. I've come to the conclusion that I shouldn't expect much feedback for HH, it's not a very mainstream fic and not many people seem to be going for it. But the feedback I HAVE gotten has been mostly positive, with just the one review that bitched because I mentioned possibly switching to bottom!Dean in the sequel. If you don't like it you don't have to read it, my dude, no one is forcing you.

Anyway. For having posted four chapters and 26,686 words so far the reception hasn't been great. I think I had my hopes up in the beginning but now I'm just posting chapters because literally the whole fic is already finished so I might as well, and if a few people like it that's great too. If I had been posting chapters as I finished them like I normally do, I probably would have dropped the project by now. I thrive on feedback and interaction from the community and not getting it kind of sucks, but oh well. Not much I can do about it. I'll probably still write Cheap Motel and Counting Scars, but I'm not sure if I'll get around to writing Storm Season after all, considering. I guess we'll see.

Right now I'm very into my Witcher SPN AU. It's two of my favorite series smushed together so I'm enjoying myself immensely. Way back almost three years ago I wrote the first five in the series (Crossroads, Technical Possession, Sugar, Call My Name and Familiarity) and then completely lost my ability to write ANYTHING so it got dropped for a while. Then the other day I wrote the sixth one in the series (What No One Knows) and it's actually gotten a decent response considering I haven't written Witcher SPN AU or Witcher ANYTHING in literally years. Also there's no porn, which is miraculous for Witcher SPN AU Lambden fic, but means it won't get as many hits as something smutty would.

So I currently have open in Word MANY other Witcher SPN AU fics (in no particular order: Falling In Love With You, No Matter What They Say, Don't You Forget About Me, Radiance, Touched By An Angel, Wayward Sons, The Road So Far, Points Of Origin, The Forest, Rewarding Heroism, The Land Of Sunshine and Beyond This Illusion) all of which are in some state of being worked on, but right now I'm specifically trying to finish Don't You Forget About Me because it's the next one in the series. Tinkering on others when I get stuck. Don't You Forget About Me has a big fight scene that I'm somewhat procrastinating over...

I used to write fight scenes all the time. I used to LIKE writing them. I was GOOD at writing them. But I guess you kind of lose things when you don't write for a long time. I'm really struggling with the fight scene in this one. But then, I really struggled with the smut in HH at first, too, before I finally got back into the grove of it. So I imagine it's the same with the violence, I just have to write until it comes back. If the beginning part of it turns out shitty I can always go back and re-write it once I get into it. So. *shrug*

Hopefully I'll have Don't You Forget About Me finished in the next day or two and can post it. Then I can try to figure out the order the rest of them go in. I THINK Rewarding Heroism comes next, but I could be wrong. And I'm going to start posting the Witcher SPN AU fics here, too, soon, I just have to get off my butt and actually DO IT. =/

Title: Horror High

Pairing: Destiel

Rating: Explicit (in future chapters)

Warnings: Sex, Violence

Summary: John Winchester plants his eldest son at Caspar High in Jacksonville because weird things have been happening there: people disappearing. People reappearing only dead and drained of all their bodily fluids. Cocoons. It’s up to Dean to figure out what’s stalking Caspar’s halls and deal with it accordingly; but then he meets the New Kid—newer than him, even, the New-New Kid—Castiel Novak, and all his plans get severely derailed. Now Dean has to juggle the supernatural case—a really hungry jorogumo—and also the fact that he’s very quickly falling in love, something that is absolutely forbidden by his dad.

Meanwhile Castiel, shoved into the third new school in a year because his adoptive father—Chuck Shurley’s—job has them moving around a lot, struggles to fit in at Caspar High, not only because he’s the New Kid but because he’s the weird New Kid. Dean seems like a saving grace, a harbor in a storm, someone who doesn’t judge him—that is until Cas finds out about Dean’s night job. Cas’s life just got a whole lot stranger—but that doesn’t stop him from falling for Dean, regardless.

Notes: Just. So much fluff. ALL THE FLUFF. Not that anyone is reading this, but whatever. Can also be read HERE ON AO3. New chapter next Friday! :)

HORROR HIGH
Chapter Four
By Senashenta

[Dean’s birthday is soon. I just thought you should know.]

Cas wasn’t entirely sure what to make of the text he received from Sam on Friday night after school. He let it sit for a bit while he tidied his room and pondered it. He knew Dean’s birthday was in January, but he didn’t know what day, and he wasn’t sure why Sam was… telling him this.

He was halfway through actually making his bed (for once) when he made a soft frustrated noise and tossed the blankets down, heading over to pick up his phone again:

[What day?]

But Sam wasn’t going to answer that particular question. When he replied a few minutes later it was with:

[He wouldn’t want me to tell you. He doesn’t like to talk about his birthday. But you of all people should know it’s coming up, right?]

Yesterday I wrote a short fic (about five and a half pages long) of Lambden in my Witcher SPN AU that I haven't touched in LITERALLY ALMOST THREE YEARS. But my brain was just randomly like "hey, you know what would be neat to write??" And I am a slave to the ADHD meds nowadays, SO. This time there was no smut, just some minor angst and emotion-y stuff, which, for Aiden and Lambert in SPN AU is a minor miracle. Those boys are HORNY, I tell you.

Anyway, I was going to post it here just now but I haven't posted any of the other Witcher SPN AU fics here yet, and I decided I would rather post them in order. There are only six in the set so far, so it won't take long. So look out for that in the future, all of you no one who's reading this right now. :D

P.S. The new fic is called What No One Knows and is already up on AO3 and my Tumblr. Go read it and leave me juicy, juicy kudos and/or comments please!

HORROR HIGH
Chapter Three
By Senash
enta

By Monday the bite on Cas’s neck had healed enough that he didn’t need to keep it bandaged anymore. Now when he looked at it in the mirror it just looked like a particularly bad hickey. He didn’t know which was worse. The Hickey Look would definitely be more embarrassing, he could just tell already, especially since it was starting to get around that he and Dean were… together.

There were whispers when he walked down Caspar’s halls, now, especially if Dean happened to be with him. And everyone talked about how they vanished together every lunch hour.

Not all of the chatter was negative, but a lot of it wasn’t positive, that was for sure. Cas had heard insults muttered under people’s breath more than the odd time. Dean didn’t seem bothered by it, and normally Cas wouldn’t have been, either, he didn’t really care what other people thought about him, but these insults were particularly nasty and mean-spirited. He didn’t like hearing them directed at himself, but more than that, he didn’t like hearing them directed at Dean.
