The DCBB now has official AO3 collections for each year the challenge has run. If you participated in a past DCBB, please double check the year and add your fic and/or art to the corresponding collection.
As you probably know, the previous DCBB mod has stepped down and turned over the community to a new team. We wanted to take a moment to announce who we are and also give a brief overview of what you should expect in the coming weeks.
First and foremost, your new mods aremuseaway and jojo_da_crow. Together, we run the Dean/Cas Tropefest, SPN Case Fic Bang, and the Katsudon Bang. We are thrilled to be taking on the DCBB and excited to make this a better experience for everyone. We’ll be bringing on assistant moderators and we’ll make sure you know who they are as well.

Happy February, DCBBers!
Hoping everyone is enjoying the DCBB off-season and gearing up for the 2017 round! Speaking of the 2017 round, we're looking at some changes coming to the DCBB community. Main Mod was offered an Exciting New Job Opportunity over the holidays that is going to make continuing to be Main Mod difficult for this upcoming challenge round. There was some back-and-forth with the existing Minion Mods, but no one was interested in stepping up to fill the gap internally, so now we're looking at you -- yes, YOU! -- to see if you want to join the team and help run the DCBB.
Interested parties should email the mod account at deancasbigbangmod@gmail.com answering the following questions:
1. Have you ever moderated a community or writing challenge before, and if not what relevant experience do you feel you could bring to the DCBB?
2. What would you like to bring to the DCBB community?
3. How would you deal with complaints about how the challenge is being run?
4. How big of a time commitment do you think that moderating the DCBB is, and how much time are you willing to commit?
We will respond to interested parties, potentially with a couple more questions, and then making a decision towards the end of the month: leaving a full month for the new team member(s) to get prepared for the 2017 round. If you are interested, please email us by February 21st at the latest.
And for those of you who are just waiting to hear about the 2017 DCBB: sign ups will be on April 1st as usual!

Title: Magic
Author:
delicirony (delicious-irony)Artist:
moonliteknightFandom/Genre: Supernatural - Merlin AU
Pairing(s): Dean & Castiel, Dean/Castiel, very minor Charlie/Rowena in the background
Rating: T
Word Count: 45,469
Warnings: a little angst, a little h/c
Summary: In a land where magic is punishable by death, and at a time when even just being associated with a sorcerer can get you killed, Castiel comes to Camelot hoping his aunt’s old friend Bobby will be able to help him with his magic. Due to an, in Castiel’s opinion frankly unfortunate, succession of events, he finds himself the manservant of the irritating Crown Prince of Camelot, His Royal Highness Prince Dean.

Title: First Gentleman Wanted
Author:
puppycastiel (youaresunlight)Artist:
marietwist (sketchydeant)Fandom/Genre: Supernatural/AU
Pairing(s): Castiel/Dean Winchester
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 31,555
Warnings: Political AU, Fake/Pretend Relationship, Explicit Sexual Content, Fluff, Kid Fic, Mutual Pining, Misunderstandings, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Happy Ending
Summary: President of the United States Castiel Novak is popular, charismatic, and knee-deep in campaigning for a second term. He’d be the ideal candidate if it weren’t for the fact that he hasn’t dated once while in political office. With his opponent’s relentless PR team calling him incapable of emotional commitment, Castiel’s staff decides to remedy the situation by finding their boss a fake, picture-perfect boyfriend. And when Dean Winchester enters the scene, he and Cas become America’s new favorite couple, except they’ve got a whole lot of history between them and complicated feelings to resolve.

Title: The Dreamer's Lights
Author:
casblackfeathrs | AO3: casblackfeathersArtist: anjika-flan
Fandom/Genre: Supernatural, Fantasy, Romance
Pairing(s): Dean/Castiel (with background Sam/Jess)
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 120k
Warnings: Language, explicit sexual content, angst, pining, hurt/comfort, minor character death, mild violence, canon-typical usage of alcohol as a coping mechanism
Summary: Dean never dreamed about much. His life was made of concrete ideas, plans his feet could follow – like his job as a bladesmith and the family he could rely on – not staring up at the stars, or falling hard for a black-winged angel whose grace glowed in shades of silver and blue.
After Dean is shipped off against his will to fight in the war between Michael and Lucifer, that changes; when he’s not dreaming of home – of hushed promises and blue eyes as deep as the sea – he’s drenched in nightmares of blood and death.
With Sammy’s help and the angels on their heels, Dean manages to escape the front lines. Now Dean’s returned to the kingdom and is forced to confront the past, as well as the tragic events that took him away from home three years ago – starting with his betrayal by the angel he fell in love with.

Artist: GabrielSeductiveTrickstere (tumblr) (art only tumblr)
Fandom/Genre: Supernatural: Assassin/Bodyguard AU
Pairing(s): Dean Winchester/Castiel, Past Mary Winchester/John Winchester, Past Kate Milligan/John Winchester
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~25k
Warnings: Violence?, Explicit sexual content, bottom!Dean (only in the last chapter that you don't have to read for the story)
Summary:
When Dean's step-mother, Kate Milligan, dies, she leaves with them three bodyguards, one for Adam, one for Sam, and one for Dean, which Dean receives as a slap in the face from beyond the grave.
---
“Adam, I’ve contracted Michael for your protection. Dean, he was in the military for several years before being assigned as personal detail to various heads of state when they arrive in D.C. He is the cofounder of the Guardian Angel Program where these men were hired from.”
Michael smiled and waved a little. He was the oldest of the three men. He had dark hair and darker eyes. Dean could see the military in his posture. He nodded in approval.
“Sam, for you, I’ve contracted Gabriel. He wants to be a lawyer, but he enlisted in the military due to familial legacy. He has a weird sense of humor, but I’m sure you’ll react just fine since you’ve dealt with Dean for years. Dean, Gabriel was plucked from the same batch of personal detail guards as Michael. He is well-trained in hand-to-hand combat and will continue to train Sam while they are in California. Sam will not be allowed to go soft.”
Sam glared at Dean, but Dean only shrugged. Sam would most definitely have gone soft.
Gabriel stood and bowed. “A pleasure.” He grinned.
“Castiel was hired to protect Dean.”
Zachariah took a long pause. His eyes darted over the paper a bit. In the vacuum, Dean met Castiel’s eyes and held them.

Summary:
Sometimes it feels like life has got it out for you. One tragedy is followed by the next in a never-ending circle. Dean was close to giving up when the world crashed down around him, but he powered through and took life’s misfortunes with his head held high always finding a way to make it work, no matter what that might entail.
Sometimes life gets rough and sometimes life gets you exactly what you didn’t know you needed. Sometimes life brings you a blue-eyed stranger with a set of leather cuffs and rooms full of secrets.

Pairing(s): Dean/Cas; Charlie/Gilda
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 33,668
Warnings: Themes of rape & abuse; anxiety, panic attacks, full details in author's note
Summary:
Dean and Castiel are in love. In another world, they would be together. In another world, the fact that they are both omegas wouldn’t matter, but in this world it does. In this world, they are property, put on display by their alphas, and every look and touch must be a well-kept secret.
So when Castiel and Dean have the opportunity to be together, for however brief a time, they take it. Dean’s alpha sends him to a retreat for omegas, rewarding him for his good behavior by allowing him to take a few of his omega friends. Along with Castiel, Dean invites his best friend Charlie and her omega lover. Together, the four of them explore the retreat, taking advantage of the classes, the gardens, and the pool- luxuries none of them have in their lives. Privately, Dean and Castiel use the opportunity to explore each other. When Dean learns that Castiel’s alpha has taken him off birth control, they both find themselves thinking about what it would be like to have a family together.

Title: Playing The Field

Pairing(s): Dean/Castiel, minor Alfie/Sam, past Castiel/Balthazar, minor Dean/others
Rating: T
Word count: 32,573
Warnings: bullying, minor violence, minor injuries, swearwords, underage drinking, mentions of alcoholism
Summary: Despite Castiel’s amazing summer experiences, coming back to school equals facing the familiar status quo: an anxious boy versus the rest of the school crowd — featuring a shy new friend, a small gang of bullies, and a charming, handsome, and popular Dean Winchester who doesn’t find it difficult to chat up virtually everybody and has probably dated half of the students.
Keeping track of Dean’s love interests probably shouldn’t be this engaging, but as Castiel begins to face his own insecurities and slowly befriends Dean, he finds he can’t really stop.

Summary: Police!Dean, Assassin!Cas. Three mysterious murders in two days sends Officer Dean Winchester out on a seemingly wild goose chase through crime scene after crime scene, looking for a non-existent killer with a past that's beyond just himself. However, sometimes not everything's so black-and-white, and falling fast in love with a slightly-addled, cottage-owning, hamster-loving, coffee-brewing serial killer might just bleed Dean's black and white together, until right and wrong don't quite have proper names anymore.

Title: Kinetics
Author: buffenator (buffenator.livejournal.com), kittenbot on AO3
Artist: @androbeaurepaire
Fandom/Genre: Supernatural, human AU
Pairing(s): Dean Winchester/Castiel
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 100196
Warnings: rape/non-con, kidnapping, torture, mild homophobic language, BDSM, Dom/sub, bondage, anal sex
Summary: Dean Winchester can count on one hand the number of good things that have happened to him in his life. With fingers leftover. When Sculpture Magazine wanted to do a piece on him as the new up-and-comer in metal sculpture, he was guarded. But when he met Castiel, who was sent to document his work, he decided to take a chance on the growing connection between them. They learn that they are both in the BDSM lifestyle and agree to explore that together. Dean has a traumatic past, both in childhood and with bad Doms. They have to negotiate their relationship carefully.
Set in the modern world without the supernatural, Dean is a sculptor and Castiel is a photographer. Castiel is also a Dom and Bakushi—an expert that ties people up in the traditional Japanese way; his specialty is suspension ties. Dean is a sub who was never taught the meaning of Safe, Sane, and Consensual. Cas wants to show Dean how wonderful submission can be and he’s absolutely dying to tie Dean up and suspend him. Dean wants to let him. If only he wasn’t being targeted by a psychopath.
