Hey, are you guys going to be running this bang again? I think it'd be a lot of fun! :)
Hi, thanks for asking this. Duck and I aren't running the bang until there's a clear surge in interest in Team Free Will again.
If you look at our last round, we had four completed fics with art, a huge decrease from previous rounds, so we decided to put the bang on indefinite hiatus until there were signs from the fandom that interest was increasing again.
Considering that there has been a steep decrease in fics being written for non-Destiel ships since SPN ended, the chances are currently low.

Dearly Beloved
Story by: Trenchcoat_Paradigm Art by: Verobatto Pairings: Dean Winchester/ Castiel & Sam Winchester/ Eileen Leahy Rating: Teen and Up Word Count: 19393 Warnings: None
Summary: Sam needed everything to be perfect. Anything less just wouldn’t do. When he was given permission to plan his brother wedding, he made it his full priority. After everything they have been through, he and Cas deserved this. However, the one thing he never expected to uncover was his brother’s disappearance the night before the wedding. Roping in Jack for assistance, Sam sets out to find the missing Groom.
Castiel can’t know that Dean is missing.
Dean knew his brother worked hard to make his wedding perfect. The place, the food, he was pulling out all the stops. The one thing he never considered is that the building hosting their ‘big day’ would be haunted. After a close encounter with a vengeful spirit, and not wanting to stress his brother out any more than he already was, Dean calls upon his soon to be husband to help track down the ghost and lay her to rest.
Sam can’t know about their impromptu ghost hunt.

Expected word count: 10K
Major warnings and tags:  Angst, Established Relationship, Canon Divergence, Sacrifice, spn 15x18 AU
Summary:
Sam and Cas have a falling out when Cas confesses his secret. Soon after, Sam and Dean learn from Cas that Jack’s destiny is lost. The future of their very world is in grave danger if they fail to get back Jack’s destiny.
Sam makes a great sacrifice to save Jack. Feeling guilty for his break up with Sam, Cas is determined to do whatever it takes to help him.
Cas discovers a risky way to save Sam. The real threat of losing Cas may be just what Sam needs to come back to himself.
(Canon divergent for 15x18 – after Jack returns from The Empty; before they find out hunters are going missing like Charlie’s girlfriend)
Extract:  
Some of Cas’s favorite times were when they were intimate, but he knew that those moments would very likely never happen again. His face fell when he saw that there was only one pillow on Sam’s bed now. Sam had spoken volumes with that small action.
Cas wished Sam was here, that Sam was working with him to help Jack. He missed when he and Sam researched together.  He truly felt that he could cope better with Jack’s affliction if Sam was on his side, that they would be united in the common goal of helping Jack. But now, Sam was working with Eileen and Cas was left with Dean who was not too happy with him either.
Cas pulled out the chair at Sam’s desk and he put his face in his hands, feeling absolutely miserable.
He missed Sam. How was he going to fix this?

Tumblr media
Title: to treat a soul with grace and love
Author: fogsrollingin
Artist: jenniferb-art
Rating: Mature
Ships: queerplatonic wincestiel
Expected word count: 7k
Major warnings and tags: acknowledges canonical rape of Sam Winchester
Summary:
S12 canon divergence. Dean carried a cosmic suicide bomb into a meeting with God and his sister, Amara. Cas was thrown clear across the state by a powerful banishing sigil, and Sam got shot and kidnapped and tortured, all while thinking his brother was dead.
And Mary Winchester was resurrected.
Extract: The three of them knew by now how to handle each other under these much too frequent circumstances. It was rarer for Castiel because he was an angel and so he rarely endured the torture they did, but they figured it out quick when Castiel’s wings had been forced into tangible existence and battered bloody. In helping him recuperate in the bunker, they discovered there was some kind of emotional-spiritual connection he had with his wings. Baring them to reality was opening himself up as raw as an angel could get, apparently. Just a gentle touch and Cas broke down. Water, a soft cleanser, careful strokes and affectionate kisses and it was like a direct line to the angel’s heart.
When it came to Dean, Castiel often took point because Dean didn’t even remember a time when he was afraid and didn’t have Sam to hold, to protect. It was an instinct now, backed by comforting logic, and in an effort not to rob him of it when he needed it most, it nevertheless kind of put Sam out of commission when it came to orchestrating anything more for him. That’s where Cas came in, where he could add another dimension to it. Literally.
And finally there was Sam.
Of course, Sam being Sam, he was a little trickier.

Extract:
“It’s not working fast enough,” said Dean, shaking his head. “You know what that means. Cuddle puddle.”
“Oh god,” said Sam, through chattering teeth. “Dean, please d-d-don’t call it that.”
“What is that?” asked Castiel.
“Old home remedy. Sammy here is still cold, and you’re an inhuman temperature at the best of times, so we’ll get everybody situated with some good old fashioned body heat,” said Dean, stripping the bed. “It won’t shock the body and you’ll warm up gradually. Come over here into the blanket fort and I’ll show you.”
“Dean, we don’t need to do this,” said Sam. “You’re half frozen yourself already, you don’t need to – ”
“Sammy, come on, little brother,” said Dean, opening his arms. “It’s okay. Free pass on this one. What happens in Bemidji stays in Bemidji.”
