Venom Trooper

Indian advertisement featuring a same sex couple by ANOUK (a contemporary ethnic clothing brand) titled Bold Is Beautiful. This is one of the first few pro-lgbt ads in the country. 

Jack: Today’s question is, how do you deal with a crush?

Sam, Cas, Gabe, Dean: *facepalm* not again

Jack: yes again. So dads, what do you do when you have a crush?

Sam, takes the lead to do a little teaching of good values and crap: well, Jack, what I try to do is understand my feelings before I talk to them, and when I do approach them, I am always respectful and mindful of their wishes and I tell them how I feel and compliment them -

Dean, snickering: yeah, right

Sam: Shut up Dean.

Dean: why you gotta lie to the kid, Sammy? We all know that when you have a crush, you get as far away from the person as you can, otherwise they’d start liking you back and then you two’d end up banging and ta-da, they’re dead

Sam: …I hate you

Dean: *shrugs*

Jack, nodding and absorbing: what about you, Dean?

Dean, promptly: Well what you gotta do is judge if they’re in your league or not

Jack: if they are?

Dean: you put on the charm. Remember the blue-steel I showed you once?

Jack: the face I caught you practising in the mirror and you begged me to forget, but I never did?

Dean: yeah that’s the one

Jack: and what if they aren’t in my league?

Dean: you wait for the crush to go away

Jack, nodding: how long does that take?

Dean: depends on a lot of factors. Could be a week, or could be -

Sam, interrupting with a smirk: 10 years, inclusive of time spent in other realms such as purgatory

Jack: that LONG?

Sam, smirking wider as Dean goes red: oh yeah Jack, 10 years and running

Jack, nodding and accepting: I see. What about you, Castiel?

Cas: I…*thinks about raising Dean from hell, rebelling, fighting his garrison, falling from grace, disobeying Naomi, disobeying direct orders from Heaven, choosing him over an entire army, annoying a cosmic being enough to be brought back, healing every little bruise on his perfect face* I believe in grand gestures, Jack

Dean: *narrowing his eyes*

Sam, feeling pity for his brother: No Cas, you don’t. You’re a deathbed-confession guy

Cas: oh yes. That.

Jack, nodding: cool.

Cas, wistfully: but that didn’t work either so I don’t know if anything ever will.

Jack: why don’t you try doing something he likes with him?

Cas, touchy about the topic: You mean, like, cowboy around with him with a hat? Dress up as a medical practitioner to satisfy his kinks?

Dean, growing suspicious: that’s weirdly specific Cas

Cas: I can’t eVEN

BONUS

Jack: what about you, uncle Gabe? What do you do when you have a crush?

Gabriel, thinking about all the weird shit he’s done to Sam, ranging from killing his brother 104 times in a day to picking his side over the rest of his family’s, from giving him genital herpes to making him suffer in Nutcracker, and so on and so forth: heh

Jack: what?

Gabriel: …archangels don’t get crushes hehe

Jack, nodding: okay thanks

*in another corner of the room*

Dean and Cas, at the same time: its okay Sam - NO - DON’T try to strangle yourself it’s fine he’s just dodging the question - nO SAM don’t try to strangle him either - sAM you’re scaring us now please start b r e a t h i n g

Do you or any of your lovely followers happen to know of any Cinderella-eqsue fics? I know of 'Soon As I Held You' by Morrezela on AO3, but that's all I've been able to find. I'm a complete sucker for fairytale AUs! TY in advance <3

Fairytales are the best! I’m literally stunned there are not many listed (featuring bottom Bucky anyway).  

Here’s a couple of Cinderella au’s:

And some fairy tale fic recs:

The Apple Kerfuffle  - by keire_ke

Summary:

Steve always takes a bite of Bucky’s apples. It’s a source of much puzzlement and many questions among the denizens of the Avenger’s Tower, but of course asking why that is the case would violate Sam Wilson’s patented manual, whose main points were detailed in the infamous Super Soldier Therapy for Dummies PowerPoint presentation. When it becomes apparent the habit dates back to the times only Steve’s memory can recall with any measure of reliability, the race to cajole the truth out is on.

Whether the story will be believed, is another matter entirely.

(Flashback story, Snow White theme, 40s stucky, Howling Commandos era, Pre slash, Steve/Bucky, implied feelings, Bucky is the damsel in distress, a poisoned apple, a glass coffin, a castle, and Howlies to the rescue. Also ART! Link in the fic)

Beast -  by ladyshadowdrake

Summary:

A kingdom is in uproar searching for the missing Prince Thor and his team. Heading the search, Captain Steve Rogers is more invested in finding his best friend, Bucky, but when he stumbles onto an abandoned castle in a snowy meadow, he finds a lot more than he bargained for.

(Historical au, Beauty and the Beast themes, castles and magic, Bucky is the beast, Nat and Clint and others are the household furniture/items, Steve is in their castle, magical visuals, curses, pre slash, happy ending)

A couple of really enchanting Greek myth recs:

Listen to your heart (but don’t say goodbye to me) - by cinnamoncake

Summary:

There is a Hades, and there is a Persephone.

They’re just not the ones you’d expect.

(Greek myth au, and some modern setting, Hades Bucky, Persephone Steve, bottom Bucky implied, switching, happy ending)

Soul Under Wing  -  by Togina

Summary:

Bucky’s mother orders him to, for god’s sake (hers, specifically), do something about all the people in love with Steve.

Did I mention Bucky’s mother is Aphrodite?

(Greek myth au, Cupid Bucky, Psyche Steve, implied bottom Bucky, implied switching, happy ending)
