“Xanatos Áediah Valdís Adi-Ai-Aiji: Former Padawan Apprentice of Qui-Gon Jinn and Alleged Fallen, Dark Jedi; Current Missing Piece to a Very Important Puzzle” by Polgarawolf

Summary
This is one hundred and thirty random but chronological moments from the life of former Jedi Padawan and supposed Dark Jedi Xanatos of Telos IV. There is an actual story here – one small thread among the vast woven tapestry of life that is the living history of the galaxy, stretched out and twisted, knotted into the whole, curled down among the roots of time, connecting various moments together – but one must read between the lines to capture it. It is not precisely the truth, for the subtle story of these moments is sketched out here in words, and, in the sin of writing down a life, it inevitably changes the shape of things. But it is nevertheless a form of truth. (From a certain point of view . . . )

Summary
Summary: Sam Winchester dreams of how the Apocalypse could have been averted, if only he’d been stronger, smarter, truer to his brother and to himself, and, to his shock, finds his dreams invaded by angels . . . including one who’s carrying more than the usual load of secrets.
Warning: This story is meant to function as a continuation of season five’s first episode, “Sympathy for the Devil,” and will probably be Jossed as soon as next Thursday and the second episode (“Good God, Y’All!”) roll around, but for some reason that didn’t stop the muse from insisting it be written down.
Pairing: Mention of past Sam/Ruby. Can most easily be read as preslash Dean/Castiel and/or a growing friendship/brotherly bond between Sam and Castiel.
Addendum: Apparently, I fail at editing. I tried to make this more readable by shortening the paragraphs, but all that seemed to do was invite even more (over)long paragraphs of dialogue and response. I really do apologize! I’m afraid that if I keep tinkering, it’ll keep getting worse! I’ve done what I can, to keep the paragraphs manageable in length, but I fear readers are going to just have to go for a full screen, for this, to avoid eye strain!

Summary
Summary: Sam Winchester dreams of how the Apocalypse might have been averted, if only he’d been stronger, smarter, truer to his brother and to himself, and, to his shock, finds his dreams invaded by an angel . . . even though he’d been sure that the angel had washed his hands of the Winchesters once and for all.
Warning: This story is meant to function as a kind of sequel to my earlier story, “What Dreams May Come,” as well as a sort of continuation of season five’s second episode, “Good God, Y’All!,” and will therefore probably be Jossed as soon as next Thursday and the third episode (“Free to Be You and Me”) roll around. For some reason, though, that didn’t stop the muse from insisting it be written down!
Pairing: Mention of past Sam/Ruby. Can most easily be read as preslash Dean/Castiel and/or a growing friendship/brotherly bond between Sam and Castiel.

Summary
Summary: Sam Winchester’s dreams have been invaded by Lucifer – wearing the guise of his dead girlfriend, Jessica, no less – and so he’s a little freaked out by the whole concept of sleeping and dreaming, at the moment; fortunately, that doesn’t stop a certain resurrected angel of the Lord from visiting him in his dreams – even resorting to putting him to sleep, in order to facilitate such visits – to ask for input and advice on dealing with Dean Winchester . . .
Warning: Apparently, I am writing an on-going series of linked stories, (mostly) in response to the individual episodes of season five. This particular story is meant to function both as a kind of sequel to the previous three stories I’ve written for Supernatural, “What Dreams May Come,” “Unless First We Dream,” and “Dreams Are Free,” and as a sort of continuation of and between-the-scenes addition to season five’s fourth episode, “The End.” Given how this seems to be working out so far, while some specifics of this story will likely be Jossed as soon as next Thursday and the fifth episode (“Fallen Idol”) roll around, the series itself will adapt and continue with a response to that episode . . .

Summary
Summary: Just when Sam Winchester thinks he’s finally getting used to having an angel of the Lord visiting in his dreams, he finds himself actually sharing a room with the angel while he’s carrying on a conversation with Sam’s brother . . . and if that weren’t strange and awkward enough, there’s also the fact that Dean seems to think they can just go back to being like they were, before Lucifer’s rising (even though that obviously didn’t work for them. Hence, the freakin’ Apocalypse!), and that he still doesn’t trust Sam to even know what’s best for him . . .
Warning: Apparently, I am writing an on-going series of linked stories, (mostly) in response to the individual episodes of season five. This particular story is meant to function both as a kind of sequel to the previous four stories I’ve written for Supernatural, “What Dreams May Come,” “Unless First We Dream,” “Dreams Are Free,” and “Dreams Shall Never Die,” and as a sort of continuation of and between-the-scenes addition to season five’s fifth episode, “Fallen Idol.” This series may or may not continue to progress much as it already has, depending largely on the whims of the muses and the state of real life!

Summary
Summary: As though Dean Winchester’s life weren’t stressful, insane, and just downright weird enough (seeing as how, by being a Righteous Man who’s shed blood in Hell, he’s inadvertently kick-started a process by which enough of the Seals keeping Lucifer locked inside Hell might be broken to free the Devil, permitting the fallen angel to start the Apocalypse), the angelic Hosts of Heaven have proven to be so morally deficient that they apparently have no problem whatsoever with threatening to either throw him back into Hell or else harm his brother, Sam, so they can gain Dean’s cooperation with their plans. Having outwitted both angels and demons by the skin of his teeth, in defense of a girl named Anna Milton (who turned out to be an angel who’d deliberately stripped herself of her Grace in order to experience free will and life as a human, and is now an angel again, having successfully regained her Grace), he’s not exactly in the mood to deal with any of the angelic dicks. Unfortunately, Castiel, the angel who hauled him up out of Hell, didn’t get that particular memo, and seems determined to have a heart-to-heart . . .
Note: This occurs prior to other stories in the Dreams ’verse!

Summary
"Does everything have to be sinister just because he's the personification of sneaky, evil plots?"
Loki always has a plan, and some idiot always ruins it. In the case of one Tony Stark, that might not be such a bad thing. Also, the Earth is melting and there's something wrong with the coffee.
On indefinite HIATUS. But the plot is sort of resolved. Benefits from obsessive re-watching of Iron Man, Thor, and Avengers.

Summary
This was written for the Bring Back the Bastard fest on LJ (community: deeply_horrible, originally posted here), the purpose of which was to write stories in which Snape was as horrible/nasty/mean as he was supposed to be in canon. The prompt to which I wrote was Post-DH. Snape's ghost possesses someone. He does it much more slowly, subtly and successfully than Voldemort did. No unicorn-blood required; Snape was MUCH better at potions than Voldemort was.

Summary
This was not what Sherlock had planned to happen. This is not the what he expected to see when he opened his groggy eyes after having jumped off that building, the drug used to fake his death still coursing through his veins, fainter now than before. He expected to see his connections, for Molly and those he had trusted in the ambulance to be the first sight he saw when he came back from the dead. What he did not expect to see were round, deep chestnut brown eyes, filled with concern.
"Oh my dear, he's waking up !" the voice that was undeniably Moriarty's called. The man leaned forward towards Sherlock, taking his hand – with an IV imbedded in his vein, Sherlock noted – in his own. “How are you feeling, my love?”
~
Sherlock Holmes wakes up after faking his death in a hospital with none other than Moriarty claiming to be his husband. When Moriarty takes Sherlock home, the detective begins to experience memories of his life with him. Is this all a well-played trick done by Moriarty? Or is Sherlock's memory really different from his reality? Does Moriarty have ulterior motives?Read to find out!

Summary
Crowley’s expression puts Aziraphale in mind of natural disasters, of wars and kingdoms put to torch, floods and plagues and children drowning. The demon might as well be desolation itself, given blood and bone and a suit to wear, a bleak, yawning absence where there should be a wily, mischievous good nature.
Even the day the world was scheduled to end, when Crowley holed himself up in a little bar and wept himself sick among bottles and bottles of clear spirits, wasn’t as bad as this. Nothing could be as bad as a corpse.
“Crowley!” Aziraphale sobs, pushing himself forward. The barrier is hot against his palms, on the cusp of burning, and still he pushes forward. “I’m right here, Crowley, I’m here! I haven’t left you, sweetheart.”

Bookmarker's Notes
Uriel and Sandalphon are total dicks. They want to "rehabilitate" Aziraphale (since he hasn't Fallen yet, so there must still be hope), and the best way they can think to start is to relieve him of the clearly false notion that the demon he hangs about with (his husband) actually cares about him. So they trap him in an unseen divine trap and leave a false body for Crowley to find. Only, Crowley never stops pretending to care and brushes off the corpse, he genuinely mourns. Clever demon, though, he eventually picks up that something doesn't add up.
Sweet resolution. Crowley's so clever.

Summary
Anakin's mother is sick. She needs good, Core-Planet healthcare. At a spaceport in the Mid-Rim, Anakin meets a Jedi just crazy enough to suggest that he give him his Coruscanti citizenship through marriage, an offer Anakin is just desperate enough to accept. They'll need to play it up so as to not raise suspicions, but they both agree this is a simple platonic transaction. After all, Qui-Gon's soulmate is dead, and Anakin's still in love with his own soulmate, Obi-Wan Kenobi, who left him on Tatooine five years ago.
Good thing Obi-Wan definitely won't have any sort of negative feelings upon seeing his old master and his soulmate married and at the Temple. That sure would just make an already complicated situation even worse.

Summary
Stiles has always known that he isn't quite human - the plant life that tends to sprout around him whenever he gets upset or excited gives it away. He's never really fit in among the regular people in Beacon Hills and is determined to wait it out, go to college, and find somewhere to belong. He's forced to abandon those plans, however, after he desperately agrees to enter into an arranged marriage to save his father's life.
An arranged marriage with an angry, sometimes furry dude with trust issues. It's all very Beauty and the Beast, without the singing candlesticks.
