There’s nothing Ty wants more than to grab a hold of the freckled, fantastic Texan and claim him, but the feeling is not returned, he’s sure of it, and it becomes a night of pining for the blue-eyed Canadian, and a night of playful flirting from Jensen.

Rating: PG-13

Although she was fairly sure she could add one more thing to her list of absolute truths: Dean Winchester was going to be the death of her. Or the one where Donna signs up for Creative Writing at Jody’s urging and meets Dean, the TA who, while being without a doubt way out of her league, is really the perfect distraction for her first semester without Doug.

Summary: Sam is a lawyer for Carter and Nicks, one of the most prestigious in the county and he loves his job. There are only two things wrong with it in fact. The first is that it means he’s stuck in the city all the time, never able to get away and look at the stars, something he’s loved to do since he was a kid. And the other? His colleague Balthazar is a party animal. It was during one of these particular - and rather shit if he was honest - parties that Sam’s mind wandered all the way back to college, to minor gods and mythology, sparking his thought train to ‘I wonder if there’s a God of Raves and Good Times.’It turns out? There is. And his name is Gabriel. As a god of raves and good times, Gabriel takes it upon himself to change that night from yawn inducing hours and bad trance music to body shots, glow in the dark paint and hoarse voices in the morning. And as a man who hadn’t realised what he was missing till he’d had it, Sam takes it upon himself to bring the god back for more.

Rating: explicit
Wordcount: 26k
Warnings: minor internalized homophobia
Summary: Open mic night at Rich and Rob’s bar is usually more misses than hits, but with a great singing voice and the looks to match, Jensen Ackles is definitely the latter. He’s also endearingly shy and incredibly interesting, and Misha starts showing up at open-mic night just for a chance to hear him sing and to talk with him afterwards. It isn’t long before it’s confirmed (loudly, and with enthusiasm) that Jensen reciprocates his interest, or until their hook-ups become something more. Misha finds himself falling hard and inadvisably fast, but Jensen’s fear of letting his attraction to another man out in the open might send them crashing to the ground before they’ve even begun.

This could be the end of everything for all four of them… or they might figure out a solution that works for everyone.

After she gets stuck in a small town in the middle of nowhere, Inias is willing to show her kindness; something she didn’t remember people could be. And he’s not the only one either.

It’s a mess of emotions and in the end the encounter with the demon helps Jo figure out at least some of it or maybe just the most important one.

Title: Angel's Best Friend
Author: gabe-trash
Artist: janimoon
Summary: When an Archangel dies, someone has to care for what they leave behind. Or, in this case, who. As the apocalypse drew near, and the Winchesters were without hope, Gabriel leaves them with their best lead, and a new addition to the team - Max, the Jack Russell Terrier. However, the pup holds a secret. As Sam dreams, something chases out the darkness that clouds his mind. It is golden and safe. Could it be him? Can he help? How will their relationship grow? We shall have to see. “Time to wake up, Kiddo”

Summary: "What do you think my brother could do to me that he hasn’t already?“ Michael asked. But it was more of the problem of what Dean - liberated, master torturer of Hell, forever bloodthirsty with the Mark of Cain painting his world in black - could do to him. Especially when he was rather determined to test whether Heavenly Swords were really made beyond breaking.

How far “off the books” is Gadreel prepared to go to catch the serial killer stalking the gay clubs of San Francisco? To get to the bottom of the case, he will explore the dark corners of his lust and find that the desires he has warred with his entire life are as much a part of his moral fabric as his need to protect the innocent. It’s a good thing that he’s got Lafitte in his corner. Or does he?

But even with his family to care for he has never felt more alone.While their lives are far from simple, that doesn’t mean that their coming together is complicated. Sometimes finding someone is as natural as bees finding flowers, and it’s the little things in romance that make life as sweet as honey. An old fashioned courtship might be just what Cain and Dean need to find healing.

Then life decides it’s not yet done with Jody, and throws her one more curve ball in the form of stunningly handsome single father Jimmy Novak. Charmingly awkward, unexpectedly witty, and with eyes that make a girl want to sit up and beg, Jimmy just might be the type of man that’ll make Jody reconsider her previous dedication to her single status.

With help from their brothers, Sam and Gabe must figure out what’s really keeping them together, before it rips them apart.

Rating: Explicit
Wordcount: 31,017
Warnings: Recreational drug use, Threats of violence
Summary: Castiel was content with the life he and Cain had carved for themselves in West Jefferson, North Carolina, cradled in a valley of the Blue Ridge Mountains. They had a sprawling antique shop, that while it didn’t get much business throughout the year, it managed to keep itself going. He was happy with the creaky old house that they had on a hill, surrounded by forests, with the garden in the back. Perhaps he had grown complacent in his old age, but he wasn’t expecting bounty hunters - the Winchester brothers - to come looking for his husband. Much less Meg and Ruby, two old friends who had followed on their heels to warn that trouble was coming.

With Sam in the Cage and Dean living away from the hunting life in Indiana, Bobby is left alone to deal with the aftermath of an averted Apocalypse and with his still vain attempts to get his soul back from a certain demon, who seems to enjoy invading the quiet of his house far too often.
