    Summary

    A man named Cas wakes up in 2003 with no memories, but he's able to piece together a few things:

    Supernatural creatures exist, and most of them will hurt innocent civilians if he doesn't stop them; he has abilities that no human hunter should have, but he knows enough about human hunters to keep that to himself, and finally; he keeps running into another hunter named Dean Winchester, who must be as lonely as he is if he's willing to put up with those former facts long enough to help Cas unravel the mystery of who (or what) he really is.

    For his part, Dean's still (not) dealing with Sam's departure to Stanford, and figures distracting himself with a bit of mystery and intrigue is as harmless as it gets, right? Right.
    -
    A three part series (with some side stories) that goes from pre-series into the end of season 3 (and beyond?) This 'verse asks two very important questions: what if Dean Winchester got a boyfriend, and what if Cas listened to Fiona Apple.

    Summary

    This time, Dean didn't bother with a greeting. Once his eyes were open and his limbs were upright, he ignored the tightness in his chest to ask, "That dickbag Uriel know you're here?"

    Castiel didn't say a word as Dean got out of bed and threw on his jacket. He just hovered like he always did, perched and waiting, and Dean made a face at him as he fixed his collar and went to fetch his boots by the door.

    "No, and I would suggest you keep this between us," Cas said carefully.

    Dean laughed. "Yeah, I bet you do."

    Or, when Castiel raises Dean from Hell, his handprint bestows them with an accidental bond, and what starts as a decision to help Dean through his Hell nightmares, becomes an attachment neither of them is willing to break.

    Summary

    There’s nothing particularly remarkable about Sullust.
    Well, except for Obi-Wan’s time-traveling son. But, you know. Apart from that.

    Or, baby-Luke-raised-by-Ben-Kenobi shows up in the middle of the Clone Wars, causes Anakin and Obi-Wan to put two and two together and get forty-five, and in the process inspires a series of heartfelt conversations that may or may not avert the terrible future he’s from.

    Summary

    What begins as a transforming love between Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak in the summer of 1965 quickly derails into something far more tumultuous when Dean is drafted in the Vietnam War. Though the two both voice their relationship is one where saying goodbye is never a real truth, their story becomes fraught with the tragedy of circumstance. In an era where homosexuality was especially vulnerable, Twist and Shout is the story of the love transcending time, returning over and over in its many forms, as faithful as the sea.

    Summary

    The briefing was simple: ‘Stand guard over the Michael Sword until the battle is ready to commence. Await further instructions.’

    Castiel doesn’t mind working security duty; he was briefed shortly after the initial salvation of the Sword from the pit, and again before taking up his position. He knows what to do. However, it’s easy to forget that the green room isn’t real. Time moves differently there, the space ever-changing to make a prison of mountains, cathedrals, salt flats, orchards, and whatever Castiel was led to believe about Heaven’s greatest weapon—Dean Winchester is something entirely unexpected.

    Summary

    Something in Bodie, California is luring truckers to their deaths and Dean’s on his way to take it out. It’s the first time Bobby’s given him a case and, with Sam at Stanford and his dad off chasing demons, he's finally hunting monsters on his own. When an accidental encounter puts an as-of-yet-unknown monster in the passenger seat of his car, Dean decides to ice him, taking his dad's old adage to heart: a monster is always a monster. Unfortunately, Dean can’t seem to figure out what kind of monster "Castiel" is and he certainly can’t shake him.

    Summary

    Dazai is going to Hogwarts—which is crazy because he doesn’t have magic. He has a nullifying ability, for goodness’ sake! Not that it matters. Dazai is still willing to stick around and cause trouble before he gets shipped back home and stuck in his room again.

    And this Quirrell guy is definitely up to something. So that’s a good place to start.

    A fun crossover featuring the fusion of Abilities and Magic, surprisingly parental Snape, and Dazai-typical shenanigans. Worth a read.

    Summary

    As usual, Merlin has utterly failed in keeping a low profile by inadvertently getting himself dragged into a mess of a situation that appears to have something to do with a seemingly unkillable snake man, a toad woman, an order of phoenixes, and a boy named Harry Potter who, he quickly finds, is equally bemused by his current predicament. When he discovers how lost the boy is, he resolves to help him and his friends get rid of this dark lord--as well as their malignant (and worse, ineffectual) new teacher.

    HOROS ὅρος - (lit.) boundary marker
    (in Gnosticism) separating the Void from the Wholeness, itself partaking of the nature of both; but preserving all inside fixed and immovable by permitting nothing from without to enter

    A new student in Yusuke Kitagawa's class at Kosei High catches his attention. Minato Arisato is a quiet student, attending Kosei under the guardianship of a government social worker. He's almost too quiet a student... and at Yusuke's prompting, the Phantom Thieves begin to unravel just why it is that a social worker as overqualified as Souji Seta has been assigned to a case as seemingly simple as the orphaned Minato's.

    Summary

    Trost District is lost to the Titans, but Wall Rose is not. The Armored Titan prepares itself to breach the inner gate but abruptly halts in its tracks, turning and vanishing into thin air.

    One of the Survey Corps's raw recruits, Eren Jaeger, is one of the cadets that witness this perplexing behavior up-close. With growing fears that the Titans may be capable of human intelligence, it's the discovery of his power to control the man-eating beasts that kindles humanity's hope for true victory.

    (In which Eren is not a Shifter that awakens his abilities after a near-death experience, but rather someone that unlocks a power much more coveted and dangerous: the Coordinate.)

    Summary

    Three weeks ago, Dean woke up in a pine box. He thought dealing with the nightmares was going to be the most difficult part of his new life after Hell, but at least they were something he could understand. Something he could deal with. Something he deserved.

    Then he began having agonizing visions of crucifixion. Wounds appeared on his body out of nowhere. Wounds that refused to heal and coated his skin with the sickly sweet smell of roses.

    Stigmata are said to be the marks of saints, but Dean is not a saint and the wounds are only the beginning.

     

    Here are some companion character playlists:

    Dean
    Castiel
    Sam

    Enjoy!

    His dreams are a maelstrom of grief and fear, his mind overwhelmed with a lifetime of emotions his brain isn't developed enough to comprehend. There's an ingrained instinct blaring that everything is wrong wrong wrong.

    Summary

    “Foolish mortals!” Yaldabaoth’s shadow fell over them like a death shroud, “The sin of rebelling against a god is severe. As punishment, I banish you to other worlds unknown!”

    The whole world shifted as the black wind swirled around them, twisting and contorting to create broken fractals in the flow of time and space. Yaldabaoth pulled his hand across the air over them, a movement as if ripping apart the weave of fate itself.

    Joker gasped as bizarre doors flickered into existence.

    One, a monolithic set of stone doors engraved with an alien image, cracked open to reveal a terrifying eye swimming in a void. The next, a glowing white shoji door exuding a strange energy that prickled at their very souls. The third, a circular ornate gate set in the floor, the bulging eyes at the top drank in the scenery as its gaping mouth pooled with vile black sludge. The final was nothing more than a fluctuating cloud of black and purple mist.

    Summary

    The world keeps pushing him, demanding, because what he did wasn't enough. Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, but that wasn't enough, wasn't ever enough.

    Tony Stark was tired. But he had a planet to protect, even if everyone laughed at him whenever the prospect of alien invasions was brought up. He could count on one hand how many people he could trust, which was disheartening but then, what else was new?

     

    Or,

     

    In which Tony does not, in fact, intend to take over the world.

    ...unfortunately, everyone else missed that particular memo.

     

    [gradual divergence from canon, starting at the end of Iron Man 3. In which it's Tony's self-awareness, rather than his support system, that becomes a cryptid sometime during Phase II.]
