    Summary

    Scrambling to his knees Castiel hugs back, burying his face in Dean’s neck, breath coming in fast little pants against his skin. Dean closes his eyes and just breathes him in, barely able to believe that this is real. At any other time in his life, closing his eyes against a threat like Death would be an inexcusable lapse in his hunter’s judgement. Right now, he doesn’t give a single fuck. Death can reap him for all he cares, he’ll die knowing Cas is going to be ok. Alive.

    “I will see you soon, Dean,” Death tells him, that deliberate voice of his soft enough not to intrude on the intimacy of the moment, “Raincheck on that grilled cheese.”

    “Thank you,” Dean croaks, propping his chin up on Cas’s shoulder, unmindful of the tears trickling down his cheeks, “Thank you.”

    or

    After Death brings Cas and Eileen back, the four of them hit the road with Miracle, driving around the country opening decommissioned Men of Letters chapterhouses to be used by hunters while trying to give a human perspective on Jack's plan to restructure the afterlife system. Meanwhile, Dean copes with being a flustered lump of a man because somewhere along the way, Castiel learned how to flirt.

    Summary

    Sequel fic to Until I Sleeps (my labor of love) Seems I wasn't done yet.

    Set a few months after Bucky and Steve's first anniversary, there is some unfinished business still to take care of it seems which unfortrunately create a few angsty situations for a our happy couple. But nothing they can't overcome right?

    If you haven't read the previous one, just know there are references to things that happened in so feel free to ask if you don't have the time to read 38 chapters lol

    December/January are always rough for Bucky but the upcoming trip Germany is setting off the triggers in many ways. Things like learning new information and simply seeing a photograph or simply seeing an item from his past are enough to set off his anxiety all over again.

    Summary

    The boy is cold, that much is clear. He’s shivering, thin as a switch and trembling like a leaf in a storm, even though the door of the tavern slammed shut behind him more than a few minutes ago. That the warmth of the inn still hasn’t seeped into him speaks to how long he must have been outside, freezing down to his bones.

    Cas feels cold just looking at him, and he wants to tell the boy to go sit by the fire, to warm himself up. He doesn’t think his offer would be welcome, however, as the boy seems to be doing everything in his power to avoid Cas’s attention. Hiding in the shadows, the boy makes himself as small as possible, only rarely daring to glance furtively over to the counter that Cas stands behind. He seems to be checking to see if Cas has noticed him, and seems relieved as Cas pretends that he hasn’t.

    ****
    Cas is an overworked teenager who just lost his father, and is trying to run the tavern that's been left to him on his own. Dean knows nothing but mistreatment, and will do anything for a full stomach and a warm place to sleep.

    Summary

    Castiel grew up in deep, religious shame, aware that like other male Omegas he was created by demons as a mockey of God's work which gave only women the ability to bear children and thus condemned to Hell. In attempt to win God's mercy and gain entrance into Heaven in afterlife, he becomes a priest.

    All seems to go well, until a group of Alphas rapes and impregnates him during a heat. He's unceremoniously thrown out of the church and his family turns their back on him. Having nowhere to go, Castiel ends up homeless and loses hope that his fate will ever change.

    But one day he comes across a kind, green-eyed Alpha who offers him help...

    Summary

    Steve looks over; the guy is standing in the darkness, and when he steps forward Steve’s breath catches in his throat. A few inches shorter than Steve, dark hair falling flat and limp around his high cheekbones, eyes permanently flickering between blue and green and grey and framed by long eyelashes, sharp and bright even in the gray, artificial lighting, only one arm, pulled protectively around himself.

    “Bucky?” he whispers incredulously.

    or Bucky is a hooker who stumbled into prostitution in desperation and Steve is an achingly lonely artist who has spent four years missing his high school sweetheart and maybe they never stopped loving each other.

    Summary

    Steve looks around and Sam suddenly sees what he's seeing. Even though Sam built that damn bookcase Bucky's still got a habit of leaving his books lying around in piles, Virginia Woolf and Murakami and the shitty scifi pulps he still loves all in stacks together, glasses abandoned on top of them. The cats are sprawled out sleepy over an afghan Nat knitted - the only afghan Nat ever knitted, because she picks up skills and drops them depending on who she's being that month - and Sam's Arabic homework is strewn across the coffee table, a coffee mug set down on top of it. Oh. Oh jesus. It's not Bucky that Steve wants, it’s not even just them, it's this, all of this, and how could he not. What they've built, it's goddamn gorgeous.

    You can, he thinks, you could, we’d give you this if you let us, and he doesn’t know how to say it. Doesn’t know what Steve would do if he did.

    Summary

    It’s the dark ages. All Omegas are enslaved. That’s just the way the world is and Castiel has learned to accept it. But while he has no hope for the world to change, he still wishes for things, no matter how unlikely they are to happen. Right now, he wishes that Dean’s pack would come into some money. Because winter is coming and Castiel is an additional mouth to feed. He knows what that means for him, and he’ll not make it difficult for the Alpha if selling him on is how it has to be. But he wishes. Oh, how he wishes.

    Summary

    “You have never once been careful in your entire life.” Bucky huffs out a laugh. He looks away. “Maybe I’m offended you didn’t think to ask me.” He says it like a joke, but he can’t bring himself to laugh again.

    “Bucky,” Steve says, scandalized. “You’re my friend. I’m not gonna use you to experiment sexually.”

    Summary

    "You look like him," Bucky says. No prompting, no nothing. He just speaks, like this is a thing he does.
    "What?" Steve asks. He didn’t really hear it, too stunned by the fact that words were coming out of Bucky’s mouth to understand their meaning.
    "You look like him. So did Pierce." His voice is soft, gravelly from disuse. "Is that why they picked you?"
    Steve’s heart plunges like an elevator with the cables cut. “Buck, it is me.”
    The hard line of Bucky’s mouth softens just a little. “Sure,” he says.
