OK, but a fic where Sam overhears Dean and Cas constantly whispering, but they, of course, get really quiet when he walks in the room or if they think he walks by, and then it seems like they’re being very secretive and doing things in another room without Sam supposed to be knowing about it.
So Sam is, of course, super worried something is very wrong because Dean is being extremely dodgy, and then when everything all comes to light…. all the secrets and sneaking around and hiding things is actually because they were throwing him a party for his birthday which he forgot completely about. And, naturally, all their friends are there as well with a table full of presents for one Samuel Winchester.
And Sam gets a dog.

They’re just too fluffy for me. The few I’ve read never have anything happen in them. I need some kind of drama or I’m gonna lose interest fast. I am almost 1000% sure I will never write one.
@rosemoonweaver I was following someone that once reblogged a post and put in their tags that they didn’t understand why all fics weren’t just happy and fluffy because fanfic is a happy place in a sad world. Like, more power to you for your decision person – you read your fluff and happy endings, no skin off my teeth – but to me?
Fanfic is a happy place but it’s also a form of entertainment and I expect to be entertained, you know? Give me some drama and angst and a hopeful ending (or even a heartbreaking ending or cliffhanger – I just want to be intrigued!).
The only real “traditional” one I wrote was my Sam/Jess/Brady and I used it for RSCC anti-valentine’s day. It was like 1k of dull, boring, tooth rotting fluff that I still dislike because I feel like nothing happened.
If all fic was happy and fluffy I wouldn’t be reading or writing it tbh. I’m 100% with you there. I love a happy ending, but make it worth it. Give me some heartache, some mystery, some danger, just something.
I can only maintain interest in something fluffy for about 1.5k without feeling the need to have something else happen. I think that’s the perfect length for a slice of life fic, which is the perfect place for fluff for me. But I cannot maintain enthusiasm much longer than that.
lbr though, nothing actually happens in a coffee shop au ever. Unless you make the coffee shop like, idk, a cover for some kind of illegal outfit, it’s gonna be tooth rotting fluff.
Oh my god coffeeshop AU/mafia AU – this needs to be written.
Jimmy and Castiel Novak are a couple of sweet guys running a super cute coffee shop in the middle of the city. But what no one knows is that they’re using the coffeeshop as a cover for drug smuggling for the local mafia family. Detective Dean Winchester might be getting close to cracking the case – if those twins would just stop feeding him their delicious lattes and cakes…
Oh my god, yes, please! I need that!
