Here’s that tutorial video I mentioned a couple weeks ago, btw :). Gosh, I love doing dirty pours. Honestly, shout out to @angeryspaghett (Syzygy Dice) who, more than 2 years ago when I was first starting dice making answered an ask I sent asking how to get thin lines in my dice with a full blown written out tutorial. I’ve been trying to emulate that sense of sharing and excitement about teaching other people about dice making ever since :)

Park Avenue
Dean x Sister!Reader, Sam x Sister!Reader
Synopsis: It’s game night in the Bunker. Dean takes it a little too seriously. Sam and Cas are there to win. You’re honestly just there for the food.
REQUESTED
MASTERLIST
See, the thing is, Dean’s pretty fucking bad at Monopoly.
Consider also: he’s a sore loser and can spend hours bitching about the fact that he lost.
So, as per Sam’s brilliant suggestion, you play Monopoly. Because it’s always nice to fucking destroy Dean at something. Cas tags along for the ride, because he doesn’t quite understand Monopoly yet, but he can play better than Dean and he enjoys being the little thimble. He also enjoys the houses.
Dean lands in jail in the first round.
“motherfucker!” He seethes, slamming his piece (the little dog, of course, and he literally drew blood to obtain that piece, you have the marks to prove it) down on the board hard enough to rattle the others. “What kind of bullshit is this?” “Sucks to suck, Dean.”
“Just wait until we get to Scrabble. I’ll obliterate you.”
“You gotta get out of jail first, bro.”
Dean snuffs and curses and he doesn’t hit anything, but it’s a near thing. You have a bet running with Sam that tonight will be the night that Dean breaks a beer bottle against the wall. You’re gonna make sure you win that bet. If you win, Sam owes you soooooo many fucking milkshakes.
Anyway. 
Typically, by the time someone is clearly winning (Sam), the game is already falling apart. Cas is trying to build a city out of the houses, you and Dean are playing go fish with your property cards, and Dean is casually suggesting you use the Monopoly money for poker.
Sam claims the victory before the game is over. Nobody fights him. Cas doesn’t put this thimble away. “I identify with this object,” he says, but he won’t tell you why he identifies with a fucking thimble. Dean just gives you a long-suffering look and helps pack up.
.
There’s a common misconception that Sam is the book-smart sibling of the Winchester trio. It’s all a lie. A conspiracy fed to the world by God. Because you sit Dean down in front of a Scrabble board and he pulls out shit like quixotic and equalise and syzygy.
It’s pretty fucking awful if you’re honest. 
Dean wins by a landslide.
Nobody wants to play another round.
.
Of course, board games can only hold the appeal for so long. There’s only so many times you can fail at the English language, only so many times you can go bankrupt, only so many times you can pay trouble before the dice dome thing starts to get hit a little too hard. Cas doesn’t even want to play properly. He just marches his men along, humming a low tune to keep them in time. It’s adorable.
It defeats the point of the game.
So Dean busts out the Wii, puts in Mario Kart, and then all hell breaks loose.
“Fuck you!” You screech as you topple off the edge of Rainbow Road and plummet towards death in a ball of angry fire. “Dean, we are the same team!”
Dean cackles as he crosses the finish line in first place, seconds before the blue shell makes contact. “Sorry girlie, but I’m a one-man machine!”
Your character, Yoshi obviously, crosses in third, and you toss your remote down on the sofa only to launch yourself at your brother. Dean laughs as he lets out are him down, playfully wresting with you on the floor as Sam gently coaxes Cas along in 11th place and 12th place respectively. 
“This is a very visually appealing track,” Cas says pleasantly as Princess Peach meanders along the road. “I can see why this one was chosen first.”
Sam has restrained murder in his voice when he says, “Castiel, you’re my friend and I would hate to have to burn your body. Hurry up.”
Cas does not hurry up. 
Dean elbows you in the face. You bite at his wrist. He yanks your hair. You kick his thigh. It’s really rather aggressive but you’re both breathless from hysterical laughter, so it’s all okay. Because Dean’s grip isn’t restrictive, it’s grounding, more like a damn bear hug than any type of trapping hold he’s used on people before. He’s warm, and comfortable, and you settle your weight somewhat awkwardly on him as you both watch Cas cross the finish line.
Princess Peach wails with dismay. Cas turns to you and Dean with the brightest smile and says, “I like this game. Perhaps we can choose another track that had a strong aesthetic?”
Sam selects Maple Treeway. You and Dean scramble up from the ground, diving for the remotes as the timer counts down. 
“Sorry Deano,” you say meanly as you launch away from the starting line. “Maple Treeway is my shit.”
He knocks you with his foot and Yoshi skids off to the side. “Wait until we get to Koopa Kape,” he mutters, looking very angry at being in 4th. “I swear if you beat me at the end, I’m going to fill all of your shampoo bottles with permanent dye.”
“Jokes on you,” you shoot back, laying down a perfect trap with your three banana peels. “I change the colour of my hair weekly. I’ll be totally down for whatever colour you’re gonna try and get me with.”
Dean curses and chooses to ram you off the road. 
You take that motherfucker down with you.
.
Neither you nor Dean come first overall. King Boo, the dumbass ghost, cheers on the podium. Yoshi dances in second place. Waluigi (Dean), Peach (Cas) and Daisy (Sam) watch jealously from the sideline.
“Sucks to suck,” you sing-song, only for Dean’s socked foot to connect with your ribs. “Hey!”
Before the two of you can start grappling again, Sam clears his throat. “I think we’ve worn our resident angel out,” he says softly, gently taking Cas’s remote from his hand. 
The angel clearly isn’t fully asleep, but his eyes are closed and his breathing is steady and slow. He looks peaceful, dressed in some of Dean’s old slacks and one of Sam’s shirts instead of his suit.
You reach over and gently comb Cas’s hair away from his face. “He’s adorable,” you coo.
Dean rolls his eyes and tugs you back, taking your place and gently shaking Cas awake. “Come on,” he says, too gruffly to be anything but fond. “Let’s get you to bed.”
Cas grumbles a complaint, but easily follows Dean’s hands up off the couch, stumbling after the hunter as Dean guides him down the hallway. Sam shakes his head with a small huff, switching off the Wii and starting to clear the remotes and empty snack dishes.
“Here,” you say, joining him. You clean the rubbish up as Sam takes a stack of plates back to the kitchen. Someone will do the dishes tomorrow. You gather the empty beer bottles and sweep them into your arms, carrying them to the bin and dumping them with a loud crash.
Sam bids you a warm goodnight, pressing a swift kiss to your forehead before ambling away to his room. You blow out a breath before dragging yourself to Cas’s room. Dean’s still there, tucking the angel in.
You slap a hand over your mouth to muffle any sounds you might make, because it’s just so damn cute! You know that Dean’s a mother hen, despite his attempts to suppress that softness. He cares for his fucked up family, and if that isn’t the sweetest thing...
“Your turn for bed, missy,” he says once he’s made sure Case is comfortable. The angel is already dropping back off the sleep, head snuggling into the soft pillows. Dean snorts and eases the door closed behind him. “You reckon you can use those puppy dog eyes of yours tomorrow, get Sam to do the dishes?”
You pout. “But Dean, the kitchen is your area.” He gently taps the back of your head. “Ow! Alright, I’ll see what I can do.”
He slings an arm around your shoulder and draws you close as you walk. “Good. That’s what I thought.”
You remember getting back to your room, remember someone helping you taking your socks off before the simpleness of warmth. Hands easing the covers over you, a palm gently smoothing your hair back and knuckles soothing down the side of your face. 
A gentle press of lips to your forehead, just to the side of where Sam had planted his kiss, and then the light turns out and you sink into the soft darkness of sleep, content.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ𝑨𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒆𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒐 (s)        ▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ 𝑬𝒔𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒂𝒔 🌱 Tema: Syzyween III (11/18) Serie de actividades basadas en la celebración del 31 de octubre, Halloween, y palabras claves relacionadas a este. ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ 🌱 Acto: Extraterrestre - Ladrones de almas Se denomina extraterrestre a todo ser vivo originario de cualquier sitio ajeno a la Tierra. En este caso, podremos incluir criaturas fantásticas o mágicas, si así desean. La dinámica de esta actividad consiste en describir seres vivos destinados a robar almas humanas. ¿Qué forma podrían tener? ¿Cómo podrían manifestarse? ¿Cómo sería un "robo" al alma? Será una actividad compleja dado el punto de crear personajes y un contexto, pero Syzygy considera que es parte de la magia de esta festividad: el miedo a lo desconocido. ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ 🌱 Ejemplo: - «Nuestro mayor ejemplo: La biblia. Cuando el espíritu inmundo ha salido del hombre, anda por lugares secos, buscando reposo, y no lo halla. 44 Entonces dice: Me volveré a mi casa de donde salí: y cuando viene, la halla desocupada, barrida y adornada. 45 Entonces va, y toma consigo otros siete espíritus peores que él, y entrados, moran allí; y son peores las cosas; últimas del tal hombre que las primeras: así también acontecerá a esta generación mala. Mateo 12:43-45». ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ 🌱 Si la actividad no es de tu gusto, interés o beneficio, desiste de ella. Las sugerencias son bienvenidas. ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ 𝑹𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒐 🌱 Recurso visual, adornos y otros, queda a criterio individual. 🌱 Tag en tumblr: ABCsyzyween
