    Summary

    Sometimes, Dean Winchester wondered what sort of person he was. He was 30 years old and was sleeping with a barely legal college boy, with eyes so blue that it seemed like oceans were moving in the depths of them.
    Castiel Novak, the young artist in his first semester of college had a vernissage as his course project, to which Dean, as a sponsor of the university, felt it his duty to go to.
    A rather unusual relationship ensues immediately and transgresses into something wonderful which grows to the potential of lasting a life time.

    Summary

    From August 14 to August 17, the entirety of Manhattan was asleep. Then everyone woke up; Kronos fell; and the news passed it off as a chemical fumes accident that knocked everyone out.

    Yeah... Reddit isn't buying it. Cue the beginning of the Manhattan Big Sleep megathread.

     

    Note: A lot of the characters mentioned in the tags won't actually show up, but will be mentioned often.

    Also, TW for mention of death, corpses, etc. Canonically the Battle of Manhattan resulted in a lot of mortal deaths, so... yeah.

    Summary

    A story that looks at the formative years of human Alexsandr Kallus, his transition from Imperial Cadet and rise to Imperial Agent and the years after when he makes a choice that changes his life forever.

    I've been keen to explore his backstory as he is such a complex, intriguing character! Considering he is my fave Star Wars character it's not too difficult to think of what he did and the things that he faced causing him to become who we see in Star Wars Rebels.

    Some events are canon, others have been re-written/re-adapted with canon divergence in an alternate universe.

    NB: Not a Kalluzeb story.

    Summary

    Originally, Minho had planned to tell his family over his dead body, through his will or a note of some sort to read once he had passed. He’d imagined them reading his tortured words while gazing longingly at his urn in the crematorium, or on the family mantle if they decided to keep it there.

    But that was the plan, you see. And with Lee Minho, plans almost never executed as intended.

    Or, Minho comes out, way earlier than he meant to and it doesn't quite go that great. Well, at least he can find comfort in billboards.

    Summary

    Essentially, I was inspired by another fanfic (An Arrangement was made) and wanted to make my own spin on said fanfic, as the previous one either discontinued or moved to a YouTube audiobook. Follows the same premise of Charlie and Adam getting an arranged marriage to prevent the exterminations of hell, all the while slowly falling in love. Expect a lotta angst, a lotta fluff, and a good bit of badassery, since I love that shit.

    To the original author, if you see this, Thank you.

    To the rest of y'all, enjoy! I'm having fun, and I hope you do too.

    Summary

    When Lan Wangji came to the magistrate’s estate in Yunmeng, he found the aged manor house in a state of neglect.

    The county was no longer what it used to be. Few people within its borders could truly be called wealthy; and with no diversions for rich men to be had within a day’s travel from the magistrate’s seat, a posting in Yunmeng had long been considered something of a punishment in the capital.

    We grant Lan Wangji a fifteen years’ appointment at the magistrate’s office in Yunmeng, read the imperial decree bestowed to Lan Wangji last month. In this way, the Second Young Master Lan can serve the people in peace, in accordance with his temperament.

    This did not come as a surprise, for Lan Wangji’s appointment—which he did not consider a punishment, in spite of the circumstances—had been granted in retribution for his brother’s betrayal of the Emperor.

    In which Lan Wangji goes into exile, immerses himself in local tradition, and falls in love with a river god.

    Summary

    A peacock, Veritas read once, will present its train to attract a mate or to fend off an attacker. But Aventurine, Veritas deducts, has another user for it: as a mask of sorts, one so outrageously extravagant that with it he commands the attention of everyone in any room.

    Love him or hate him, you can’t look away. One shouldn't judge a bird based solely on its feathers, but this one seems to be counting on it.

    But as easily as Aventurine spreads his tail, his wings remain hidden. Even years into their professional relationship, Veritas has never seen him fly.

    Summary

    “Mr Diaz, I’m so glad you’re here.” Jamerson greeted, shaking Eddie’s hand, “I won’t beat around the bush here, but the omega we have in here is in quite a state, one of the worst I’ve ever seen quite frankly.” If Doctor Jamerson was saying that then it had to be extremely bad as the man had been a heat doctor for over 40 years, “From what we’ve managed to gather it took five minutes for his heat to set in and he’s been getting progressively worse for the last 30 minutes. We had him briefly sedated as he was reacting badly to some of the tests we were having to run. The weird thing is, when we got him to smell the scent samples, not only did he react well to yours but he knew you by name and then refused to smell anyone else's, becoming hysterical until we agreed to get you.”

    Eddie knew who it was, there was only one person it could be, but he needed to know for sure, “What’s his name?”

    “Evan Buckley.”

    or

    When Buck's heat hits him out of the blue he's rushed to a heat clinic, only to end up with his long-time best friend and crush as his heat helper. But if that wasn't already bad enough his heat begins to spiral and it all gets more than a little bit out of hand.
