Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without

So I've signed up for SPN Eldritch again this year:





Sign-ups 2 June until 1 July



No idea what to write for it yet, I'm still figuring out what I'm going to do for Summergen:

Okay, so I've gone and signed up for another one (as an author), before finishing the one I'm on...






Schedule, Rules & FAQ
Sign Ups: Artist | Writer | Beta

Title: Untying the Knot
Recipient: jdl71 (Great prompts and great encouragement - I've never written anything like this before, fingers crossed you like it!)
Author: theymp
Artist: jdl71 (So many amazing images, thank you!)
Warnings/Spoilers (if applicable): Dean/Sam, oppressive patriarchy / ABO
Rating: NC-17
Characters: Sam and Dean Winchester
Genre: Family
Word count: ~10,200
Original prompts:

• Dean has been hurt on a hunt and is delirious. Aside from wanting to pet Sam's hair, he keeps telling Sam he's the best husband in the world.


• Dean and Sam find themselves in a new reality where they aren't brothers, but a married couple that own a bar.


• Sam and Dean aren't only brothers but a mated pair with Sam as the alpha and Dean as his omega. What kind of trouble can this cause for them?

Story summary: Dean is mortally wounded, so Sam uses a wish pearl to save him, but instead they're whisked to a very alternate world. At first, all seems great, but then their bodies and minds start to adapt to match the new reality. Will they accept the cost of the changes or risk trying to get back home?

Off to the story...

Ah, the stress of arriving home much later than anticipated on scheduled posting day only to discover the story doesn't have any of the last minute editing changes I'd made before leaving for the weekend!

Still, even without being able to completely reproduce what it was before, I'm still pretty pleased with how my first Sam/Deam came out.

Title: Adventures in Washing Machines (and Dreams of Domestic Bliss) (AO3)
Word count: ~3700

Story summary: It's kinda hard to accept that you're lusting after a guy if you're still picking up and washing his dirty Underoos.

Whoot whoo! Look at those legs!

Weird coincidence: the idea of offsetting the effect of the short-shorts with the black socks and dirty trainers was from a video of Jared Padalecki exercising using a giant tyre. I had a distinct memory of shaking my head at those socks! I've not looked at it since, but just searched for it on YouTube only to find it was uploaded by amberdreams!

I've not posted here for ages, so more for my own benefit, here are a list of non-drabble challenges I've written in the meantime:
