Summary
It had been a long time coming, Dean saw now. A full year had passed since Sam turned tail and left. A full year of hunting with John, fighting monsters and alcohol stupors, and staring at his phone at night with a familiar number stuck on his thumbs. He never dialed, though. What would he say?
'Hey baby brother, I know it's been a long time and I know you don't want anything to do with me, but I miss you and was hoping I could stop by and see you sometime.’
As if.

This is my very first AO3 post. I’m really nervous. The writing here is better than the site I usually write on. Anyway. I would like to know what you think.
I don’t know how to use the site yet. There will be mistakes.
I traditionally don’t work with a beta so there will be mistakes.
I read the books, I sort of shadow watched the show… it’s a long story… I get confused. There will be mistakes.
Here we go…Write a story about the leaked alternative ending they said, it will be fun they said.

Summary
King Aerys Targaryen's extreme paranoia delays Rhaegar's betrothal to Elia Martell until he is twenty-two. But when the King suspects the Starks of plotting against him, he breaks the betrothal to promise his eldest son to the noble house's only daughter, Lyanna Stark.
The arrangement does not sit well with either party. The fourteen year old Lyanna resists her cage and her new husband; the older Rhaegar finds himself discomforted by her immaturity and willful nature. The king's madness worsens, and intrigue further interrupts the already volatile atmosphere of King's Landing.
In the North, Brandon's reckless behavior puts him, and Ned, in an uncomfortable situation, while thousands of miles south, the Martells stews over the insult paid to Elia. Somewhere in the middle, a storm lord still desires the girl he was meant to have while a lioness plots her way into power.
or
Lyanna marries Rhaegar and everything happens except love at first sight.

Summary
Albus Dumbledore rose to his feet, smiling at them in that way of his, like he knew something you didn't and he was proud of you for it. "Friends," he began.
The door thudded open and the Marauders burst in, late and pink-cheeked with cold. The headmaster smiled at them, too, and Sirius gave a cheery little salute back.
Severus sunk lower in his chair, staring witheringly over his butterbeer. "You told Potter about it, too?"
"He might as well put all that energy to good use," said Lily. "And, to be accurate, I told Remus."
"But Potter, really?" said Severus.
"He and Black cooked up a jinx that gives you a boil every time you say a slur to a Muggleborn," said Lily. "It was either invite them to Alice's war club or bake them cookies, and I know where my skills lie."
Severus sniffed. "Don't come crying to me if he tugs your pigtails."
"Come crying to me if he pulls yours, and I'll deck him," said Lily.
(Slight AU in which Severus apologizes, tries harder, and stays friends with Lily)

Summary
As Chad is heading to his car—used, very used, but his, which made waiting tables all summer totally worth it, although he’s never going to admit that to Troy—he sees Ryan walking in the opposite direction, out of the mascot costume by now. His clothes look dry, and he’s definitely towelled off his hair; it’s sticking up worse than it did the one time in September when someone made the mistake of yanking Ryan’s hat off his head during homeroom. Chad looks around, but he doesn’t see any other cars in the parking lot besides the one he knows to be Jason’s, so he figures Ryan must be waiting for someone to come pick him up.
“Hey, Evans!” he calls. “Need a ride to the afterparty?”

Summary
"How do you not see that it is precisely because I love you that I am so angry?" Colin's words come out sharp, and yet, somehow almost pleading. It is taking everything in him to not raise his voice. "Perhaps if I loved you less, it would be easier to forgive you."
Colin Bridgerton is angry. So, very angry. And yet, there is still no one else he would rather be his wife.
S3Pt2 compliant, "fix-it" of sorts. All the moments in between that we didn't get to see.
