    Summary

    Maybe this is why Sam’s the favorite, Dean thinks. He’s a real son, a real boy. Dean’s just a puppet and a solider and sword. He does what he’s told. He’ll crumple if his strings are cut. He could never have gone to college. He doesn’t understand Sam, and he never will. He’ll never be able to leave Dad.

    New Years Eve, 1999. Twenty year old Dean Winchester finally tracks his brother down after his third runaway attempt.

    Summary

    Palamedes only signed up for the app because Cam had told him to.

     

    Or: Naberius Tern is an insecure, arrogant blowhard with great abs, and Palamedes wants to get over Dulcie. Besides, the dating app was Camilla's idea anyway, so it's probably sound, right? Feat. also: troubling necro/cav dynamics out the wazoo, bonding over workaholism, and the real problems being the friendships we made along the way.

    Summary

    "I was wonderin'," he begins, wheeling closer. "You- you said you're not alive, right?"

    "I don't believe I am, no," Laudna says. She thumbs at her wrist, just to check, and there's predictably no pulse. This is familiar. This is normal. She doesn't know if she feels relieved or disappointed.

    "I don't think I'm alive, either."

    Summary

    "They’re doing Shakespeare this year. Romeo and Juliet.” says Sam.

    Dean makes a choked gagging sound. Sam ignores it so Dean does it louder.

    Sam rolls his eyes. “Yeah Dean, I heard you the first time. Real mature there.”

    “Why, Sammy? Why would you willingly give up TV time to act in that? What has TV time ever done to you?”
    __________

    In which Sam joins in with a school production of Romeo and Juliet, Dean gets roped in, and the author tries to write a nice John and does a pretty poor job of it.

    Sudden light and sound make him flinch, but then, oh—cartoons!
    Awesome.
    Except then, the tall man comes over and takes the button-thingie out of his hand and shuts the cartoons off.
    “Dean, listen. The witches are gone, and they've got the Grimoire. We're gonna do a spell to slow down the curse to buy some time, and then—”
    The man cuts himself off and his serious expression turns into one of exasperation.
    “You forgot again, didn't you?”

    Summary

    She moves into the apartment beside his, with her flowers and her singing and her brisk optimism, and Ben Solo knows himself just well enough to realize that a person like him really shouldn't have anything to do with a person like her. His good friend Snoke, of course, has other plans, because he gets a certain enjoyment from watching Ben - Kylo Ren, rather, as he calls him - screw things up. Which Ben inevitably does: but that's not where he wants them to end, and maybe Rey doesn't either.

    Crossover with Neil Gaiman's Sandman series, and probably won't make much sense without some knowledge.

    For an anon who prompted Rocket dealing with OCD. Warnings inside.
