Summary
Lightning doesn't strike the same place twice. Until it does. Castiel knows all too well that the path to hell is paved with the purest of intentions. Freshly flung out of the Empty with Gabriel as the angel (devil?) on his shoulder, the brothers wake up in unfamiliar vessels as an invisible string pulls Cas back to his righteous man. When sparks fly for the second time, will he finally be able to bask in the warm embrace of Dean's love or will his deception burn it all down?
Or
The one where Gabriel convinces Cas to possess a female vessel once they escape the empty and meet Dean for the 'first time' to find out if his feelings are unrequited like he believes them to be and finally answer the burning question on everyone's mind; is Dean Winchester actually straight?
P.s. As a millennial who longs for the days of posting cryptic song lyrics on your socials to alert everyone to your current emotion state, all chapter titles will be song lyrics. Enjoy.

Summary
He had dreams of hands that healed, where his could only grant healing death. He dreamed of action instead of impotence. He dreamed of jasmine scented hair, and a soft voice like spring rain (somewhere in the back of his mind, an ancient memory of bamboo groves and jade dripping over her collarbone like a waterfall) ...
He had been asleep for a very long time. Unbeknownst to Zayne, however, day was about to break.

Summary
As an aspiring gym leader, you jump on a boat to the Kalos Region the minute that Brawly tells you Ramos is looking to retire. What you did not expect was the extensive vetting process that the Kalos Pokémon League has before gym leader candidates become fully fledged gym leaders.
The gym leader application process lands you in Lumiose City, where you meet the mysterious August. He is a man with many connections and many, many more flirty words. As you navigate the Pokémon League requirements, you start to find out things about August as well as your friends back home that will leave you with an impossible choice:
Take over for Ramos in Coumarine City? Stay in Lumiose City with August? Return to Hoenn with Brawly and Flannery?

Summary
After an exposé on a major car manufacturer goes viral, science journalist George Russell finds himself abruptly reassigned from the hallowed halls of The London Review of Science and Society to the chaotic world of Formula One. A demotion disguised as an “opportunity.”
He’s meant to report, not provoke. But when a single line about Max Verstappen, the sport’s most dominant and infamously difficult driver, catches global attention, George becomes the paddock’s most polarising new arrival.
What follows is a collision of ego and intellect. Two men who should despise each other, forced to reckon with what it means to be seen, and to be understood.

Summary
“Sir, I just got some bad news from my family, they’re back in Nebraska, and they want me to come home but I know I’m in most of this week so I was wondering if we could organise some time for me to go next week, maybe?”
It all comes out of him in a word-vomit that he sees his attending struggle to follow, but he can’t stop himself.
“Whitaker.” Robby settles a large, warm hand on his shoulder and it quiets the raging panic in Dennis’ head just enough for him to get a couple words in.
“I’ll talk to Dana, okay? Go home, we’ll sort this out.”
—
Or, Robby takes PTO on the recommendation of his therapist, and Dennis gets news that his dad is dying, so they take a road trip from Pittsburgh to Nebraska and it all goes as normally as it can.

Summary
Three years since his Maker abandoned him at the altar of his murder, itchy with resentment and no less cynical, Daniel is summoned across the Atlantic. A campy invite dripping with half-assed subterfuge, the type of theatricality that’s unmistakable: Armand.
Rather than tell him to get bent, Daniel turns a blind eye to the objections of his common sense and deafens himself to the whispered promises of further betrayal.
With his trust balanced on his malfunctioning fear gland, he gets on the plane, gets in the coffin, and prepares himself for the worst.
Because third time’s the charm, right?
_________
In which Armand and Daniel try to learn to exist in each other’s company, laboring under the possibility of care amidst the cruelty, shackled by the weight of appetite and dependency.
Faced with the reality that either they succumb to their loneliness apart, or compromise, and cling to one another in the cold, dark, twilight of forever.- Language:

Summary
Married. Baby on the way. Harry Potter is blindsided when he realises he’s in love with Luna Lovegood — only after his Patronus changes on her wedding night.
He won’t cheat.
He won’t run.But he will… unravel, just a bit.
What he knows: Luna loves the world differently to most. She’s never tried to fix him. She’s always just seen him.
What he doesn’t know: She's in a secret polycule with three others — a creature-mad Magizoologist, a reformed ex-Death Eater, and a dying Maledictus.
What he will come to learn: Love is endless, even after trauma and loss. Because there are more ways to love —and be loved— than with just one pair of hands.
Oh… and the kids really shouldn’t be meddling with illegal time-turners…

Summary
Romancing the finest flower in Pelican Town. A poetry-themed, second-person POV retelling of a playthrough marrying Elliott. Includes all heart events. Forest farm, set in a sort of modern and realistic universe, where real pieces of literature exist! Took some artistic liberties. Based on my specific file with animal names and such, but the details are pretty neutral and hopefully shouldn’t take you out of the story!

Summary
Selena de la Rosa, known across Marley as the Legendary Black Cat, is the world's deadliest assassin—a master of agility, precision, and deception. When Marley turns against her, she is shipped to Paradis as a living weapon, chained and drugged, with her survival all but assured to be short-lived. But Selena is no ordinary prisoner.
Bound by no one, loyal to none, Selena plots her next move, determined to seize her freedom by any means necessary. Yet, her plans are complicated by the Scouts who captured her, particularly Captain Levi Ackerman—the so-called Humanity's Strongest Soldier. Selena is intrigued by his strength and reputation, but her pride refuses to acknowledge him as her equal.
Caught between Levi’s unrelenting gaze, Selena plays a dangerous game of manipulation. She’s biding her time, but when the moment comes, will her calculated escape bring her freedom—or will her path collide violently with Levi’s unwavering resolve?
The Black Cat has always landed on her feet, but for the first time, she might meet her match.

Summary
Error wakes up in a game he never chose to play—Until The Last Breath, a brutal survival world hidden between life and death. The only players? People trapped in comas. The only way out? Win.
To survive, he must fight through deadly floors, forge uneasy alliances, and follow three unbreakable rules:
[ 1. GAME OVER means death, both in-game and in real life. ]
[ 2. Artifacts must be crafted from Fragments found throughout the world by a Player. ]
[ 3. Reach the final floor before the chronometer runs out… or fade away forever. ]
There are no second chances. No resets. Just one question: can Error and his team beat the game before it beats them—and can love survive in a world designed to tear everything away?
