Genie In A Flask

by sandean_cas

Wordlessly, Castiel drapes the blanket over Dean’s shoulders, smiling gently, and patting his shoulder. He’d have better luck with a giant, wet boulder.“Warmth is a necessity.” The angel chastises. This isn’t ending well, is what Bobby surmises.“You didn’t seem to think much about warmth when I found you on Baby, naked except for that blanket of bees. FYI they didn’t give you all that much coverage, if you know what I mean."“Dean.” He says brightly, “Did you know that looking at someone’s genitals is a common sign of romantic interest or infatuation.” How the hell is Bobby in this situation?“Dean!” protests the angel, as Dean lays down. Bobby leans against the table. Oh this is going to be good, he thinks, if by good you mean bad – where everyone will suffer. “You haven’t eaten dinner yet. If you go to bed hungry you stomach will produce extra acid and you can get a stomach ulcer.”“Well Cass.” Dean bites out… drily… mockingly, “That’s what a have you for. The angel of no conflict and stomach advice.” If only that insult is were enough to suffice.ORBobby, while tethered to the flask, vows to make these to idjits drop their stoic masks.

His Fault

"Y-yeah, I know. I'm so sorry."It's his fault, it's his fault, it's his fault it's HIS FAULT-Steven took a deep, shuddering breath. He had to fix this. "Lars, I'm going to get you out of here."

The Five Stages of Grief

by Yacer_Sho

Jasper, a Homeworld Gem, had been given to you by the Crystal Gems in hopes that you change her views on Earth and become a rebel like Lapis and Peridot. Unlike the others, she holds a grudge on basically everyone for reasons she never wants to explain. It's been a month since her Gem became cracked, and reflecting back on all the memories you and her shared made you fall into a state of depression. She never cared for anyone, but you cared for her, even if she was too stubborn to know.

Gagging

by willows_shame

You can't take it anymore. It's not the truth, you try to say, but you only get the first word out before your hands both snap over the rest, more forcefully than ever before because this is outright defiance. "P?" Amethyst says, but you barely hear her, your eyes squeezed shut, your mouth and mind and the chest of this manifested body all fighting your hands and your gem. You can't stop fighting - you've never stopped fighting - What if Pearl tried to break the gag order before Gemcation and A Single Pale Rose? Takes place post-S3E25, Bubbled.
