cas getting the hiccups for the first time
It’s the morning, and Sam walks into the main room with his bowl of cereal and the newspaper tucked under his arm. The sunlight streaming in from the small windows at the top of the ceiling is lighting the entire place up, and he sighs, content to have a lazy morning ahead of him.
He freezes, however, when he sees Dean and Cas are already sitting at the large wooden table. Castiel is a mess, his hair in disarray, dirty and sticking up every which way. He’s wearing one of Dean’s old shirts (which startled Sam the first time, but this is the 23rd occurrence , sits on his chair with his ankles crossed under it. There’s a steaming mug of coffee in his hands and he squints and glares at it like it is personally offending him.
AU where Dean is a police officer and Cas is a homeless man he keeps coming across. they talk sometimes and Dean never has the heart to chase Cas off a park bench for vagrancy or something, so he just occasionally buys Cas hot cocoa and Cas tells him stories about when he used to tour with his battalion around the world. Dean is impressed by the peace and gratitude he always sees in Cas despite Cas living with nothing but the clothes on his back.
on Christmas eve night Dean is heading home from a party at Sam and Jess’s house and he sees Cas walking across a bridge. it’s really late and there’s no one else around so Dean parks his car and tells Cas to come inside. Cas obliges and is very thankful and asks Dean to just drop him off next to the local cathedral (which is open for the homeless to rest from the cold), but Dean insists Cas spend the night at his place.
when he gets home, he gives Cas a razor, a toothbrush, and some sleeping clothes and shoves him into the bathroom. but of course when Cas comes out he looks ~very handsome~ and Dean is a little awestruck because he knew Cas was a nice guy but he never expected a sweet looking man beneath that huge trench coat and ugly old beanie hat and scruff.
they spend all night talking some more and Dean insists that Cas eat all the food he brought back from Sam’s and the whole time Cas is all flustered about it but Dean won’t take no for an answer! they fall asleep on the couch and the floor.
the next morning Dean wakes up and Cas is gone. he left his borrowed clothes and toiletries folded on the coffee table and the dirty clothes he came in (which Dean tossed into the washing machine / dryer for him last night) are the only things gone. Cas didn’t take anything but his own stuff— he even locked the front door before he left. there’s a small post-it note on the coffee table too that says, “merry christmas Dean. thank you for your kindness.”
so of course Dean is pretty taken aback since he feels like Cas is actually his friend now and he’s just wandering the streets again. he goes around Cas’s usual haunts but Cas is no where to be found. after a couple of weeks Dean meets with Sam at a coffee shop and tells him all about Cas and is unknowingly gushing about Cas’s life. Sam’s like, “woah dude, calm down. i’m sure your boyfriend’s alright.” and Sam’s just being funny but Dean is all offended like, “DON’T JOKE ABOUT THIS SAM, I’M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT HIM.”
well one day Dean is driving by the cathedral that Cas had wanted to be dropped off at on Christmas eve, and Dean’s not really religious but he feels like walking in to just be somewhere Cas likes being. he’s walking through the pews and there’s actually a lot of homeless and local people praying and the interior is beautiful. when he walks out he feels pretty humbled, and sees a line of folks in front of the soup kitchen attached to the side of the cathedral. well, being the curious sort, he looks through the window and lo and behold, it’s CAS at the back of the counter serving dishes with his hair in a net and his face still clean shaven.
Dean can’t help himself from rushing in and one of the priests by the front of the door goes, “oh dear, how can i help you officer?” but Dean just goes straight to Cas, who’s pouring a bowl of chili for an elderly woman.
when Dean says his name Cas looks up and so does the entire line. Cas of course breaks into a smile and says, “hello Dean. how have you been?” and Dean just smiles and says, “not bad.” so he walks away from the line to let Cas keep working, sitting on a table and watching Cas work and look really happy to be helping folks out. the priest he had ignored before comes over to Dean and says, “Mr. Novak is quite the person. he came in and asked how he could help us after Christmas ended— it felt like the lord himself brought him to us.” Cas apparently offered to help during the Sunday soup kitchens and to clean up the cathedral, and in exchange the priests practically forced him a residence in their commons and some second-hand clothes from the church donation drive. Cas has been helping around there for the past month or so and Dean is just really touched by the story and how healthy and happy Cas seems.
when Cas’s shift ends, he immediately walks over to Dean and asks if he’d like to take a walk. Dean obliges and Cas asks him how Sam and work has been. Dean starts kind of tearing up despite himself and Cas concernedly pats him on the shoulder and asks what’s wrong. Dean says, “sorry Cas, you’re just a great guy you know. and i was worried about you.” Cas just shakes his head and smiles.
so now that he’s got a hold of Cas again, Dean insists on Cas coming with him to meet Sam for lunch and doesn’t let Cas say no. he drives them to the diner and introduces Cas to Sam, who’s pretty surprised but genuinely glad to meet Cas. Dean of course is in a fantastic mood and keeps looking at Cas like he can’t believe it. when Cas leaves to use the restroom briefly, Sam leans over the counter and goes, “holy christ dude. you’ve got it bad.” and Dean is a blushing mess the rest of lunch, especially when Cas and Sam start making jokes about Dean.
well of course after that Dean visits the cathedral often to say hi to Cas and makes it a routine for them to have lunch together once a week. he even invites Cas to a family dinner and Mary is absolutely SMITTEN and keeps talking about how handsome Cas is, which makes John really testy, but after Cas shares some stories about being deployed, he and John bond over their service and John pats Cas on the back and Mary kisses him on the cheek before they leave. Sam just smirks like a bitch the whole night.
annnnd basically i haven’t thought it out completely yet but one day I figure Dean helps Cas clean up at the soup kitchen, and while they’re washing dishes they start kidding around and are laughing so hard Dean can’t help himself and leans over and just gently presses his lips to Cas’s. they pull apart and Cas looks so sweet and happy he kisses him again and that’s how THEY GET TOGETHER AND CAS MOVES IN WITH DEAN AND THEY BOTH HELP OUT AT THE SOUP KITCHEN STILL AND CAS GETS A JOB AS A LIBRARIAN AND DEAN AND CAS GET MARRIED AND LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER, THE END.

STOP
Damn you.
No sarcasm, the most inspiring and idea-inducing recipe I’ve seen on my dash in ages. I can think of about five variations I’d like to try off the top of my head. Mmmmm cookies.
“Amazon Publishing will acquire all rights to your new stories, including global publication rights, for the term of copyright.” What this means is that when you publish a story on Kindle Worlds, you’re giving Amazon the right to do whatever they want with your story, forever. They can sell it electronically, digitally, carve it into a rock, or give it away. It’s up to them, and you have no say. Ever.
“You will own the copyright to the original, copyrightable elements (such as characters, scenes, and events) that you create and include in your work, and the World Licensor will retain the copyright to all the original elements of the World.” Awesome! Exactly the kind of license I would want. Except …
“When you submit your story in a World, you are granting Amazon Publishing an exclusive license to the story and all the original elements you include in that story.” Want to publish your fan fiction on FanFiction.net? Tough. Amazon is the only entity legally allowed to publish your material. And if they decide that they want to stop publishing your material? Sucks for you. You have no other outlet.
“This means that your story and all the new elements must stay within the applicable World.” This is a huge, flashing warning sign, a big neon Danger, Will Robinson! When you submit a story to Kindle Worlds, you give Amazon all of the rights to your new ideas, even ideas that came solely from your head. Come up with a concept for an awesome new character who just happens to interact with a Salvatore Brother? You can never use that character anywhere except within a Kindle Worlds story.
“We will allow Kindle Worlds authors to build on each other’s ideas and elements.” This means that people get to write fan fiction about your fan fiction. Kindle Worlds is essentially a viral license. I don’t exactly have a problem with that. It would be cool if there was a way to be compensated when another author uses some or your original ideas, but I honestly don’t know how that would even be possible.
“We will also give the World Licensor a license to use your new elements and incorporate them into other works without further compensation to you.” One of the big issues authors have traditionally had with fan fiction is the possibility that a fan fiction writer would claim the original author stole the fan’s ideas and incorporated them into their work. This is why even authors who explicitly allow fan fiction almost never read fan fiction. This sentence does away with that fear entirely. If you submit a story to Kindle Worlds, the original creators can use it however they want. Just think! The next season of Vampire Diaries could be based on your story! Except you won’t be paid for it.
…
The exception is the license to new concepts developed within a Kindle Worlds story. That is uniquely the author’s own, and submitting to Kindle Worlds locks it up forever. Stories are an author’s lifeblood, and you should never give that kind of control over your ideas to someone else. Fifty Shades of Gray would have never happened under Kindle Worlds, because Amazon would own all of the rights to that story, not EL James. She wouldn’t have been allowed to change the character names, flush out the story, and publish on her own. Amazon would have owned that work, not her.
"Pretty sure all the awesome fandom folks I know are smart enough to have realized what a steaming turd the new Amazon thing really is, but just in case you have to get into an argument over it with someone (yes, these are things I legitimately prep for) here are some clear talking points.
Also, no porn, graphic violence, crossovers or’excessive’ use of curse words. So, like, all the fun stuff about fanfic.
