Summary
Dean believes a lot of things.
He believes the manner of his death was decided by his father the very night that yellow-eyed demon ripped his mom away from him.
He believes he’ll die, broken and bloody and alone on a hunt, and anything Cas does only delays the inevitable.
He believes he doesn’t deserve to be saved.
Dean knows Cas will do it anyway.
Months after Mrs. Butters leaves the bunker, intent on finding a home of her own, a peaceful section of pines set deep into the American heartland becomes anything but. Haunted by Purgatory at every turn, and forced to confront the consequences of decades of torture and abandonment at the hands of his predecessors, Dean and Cas set off to solve a string of disappearances in the forest where they stumble across a familiar face -- and an all-too-familiar feeling.

Summary
In an Arachne hunt gone wrong, Dean "wakes up" in an AU style world as what he'd gone undercover as for the hunt: a journalist. But when he shows up to cover what should be a routine story on a suspicious death in Kansas, the world around him starts to unravel in horrific, painful ways.
The appearance of a man claiming to be an Angel sends Dean into a tailspin -- but just as something about Cas begins to spark very real memories in Dean, Cas seems to be losing his own grip on what's real and what isn't. And as they struggle to free themselves from this distorted web of reality, something sinister is lurking just beyond their reach.

Summary
The end of the world has a way of warping the things we once knew, molding them into forms far beyond recognition. Time blurs at the edges. Hope cracks along its many fault lines. But there's one thing strong enough to withstand the apocalypse itself. Love, in all its forms -- if you'll let yourself have it.
Or, the world is still worth saving. And so is Dean Winchester.

Summary
“Come, now,” he heard Cas rasp. It wasn’t coming from the phone anymore, but from right outside the door.
Dean lowered the phone and took a hesitant step forward, his bare foot sinking into the damp, rotting carpet. “Cas, what’s wrong? I don’t … You’re not making any sense.”
“I have something for you,” Cas said, and this time it came as a whisper in a language Dean didn’t know, yet somehow understood.
Dean froze in his tracks, his hand hovering just over the doorknob. He wanted so desperately for it to be Cas on the other side of this door, but he knew deep down that something was horribly, horrifically wrong.
The rise of a new, hands-off God has unintended consequences, and the promise of free will reaches further than anyone intended. In the absence of the one who'd locked them away, and beneath the cracked and abused surface of the Midwest, an Old God stirs. Here, death is not the peace you're looking for, and there's one person left to save.
Or: family don't end in blood, and neither does Dean Winchester.

Summary
After the mutilated remains of another missing person are found cast off the shoulder of a desolate highway, the state of Kansas is on high alert for the person responsible for such vicious crimes. Castiel is a runaway, having left his family back in Illinois to experience life on his own terms– as an openly proud gay man– and in doing so he travels over the state line into Kansas on his way to California, soon confronted by broadcast after broadcast of the mysterious killer's latest victims.
Late one night, Castiel stumbles upon a rundown bar on the outskirts of Lebanon in search of a phone to contact his brother Gabriel. Here he meets an attractive stranger named Dean who offers him a one night stand. Initially, Castiel declines, but when he aims to leave the roadside bar, he quickly discovers he has a flat tire, and Dean, ever the helpful mechanic, offers him a ride and a place to stay for the night until they can return with his tow truck in the morning.
Castiel goes home with him, but once there he soon comes to realize Dean won’t let him leave without a fight.

Summary
[Time passes oddly. Between one second and the next, Sokka has the Fire Lord pinned to the wall with his hands around the bastard’s throat. Golden eyes (one gold eye, his mind whispers) widen in shock.
“Sokka?” he chokes out. And then he smiles.
What the fuck?
“Sokka, I—”
Sokka slams his head against the wall, once, twice, and the smile wipes off his face. Good.
“What,” Sokka bites out, “have you done to my sister?”]
Or:
An injury leaves Sokka with amnesia. His last memory is of the failed invasion, of leaving his father behind in enemy territory on the Day of Black Sun. Of hopelessness. Rage.
But then he wakes up, and the war is over. Suddenly, he must come to terms with the fact that years have passed, and that he's somehow the Southern Water Tribe Ambassador to the Fire Nation. He is also supposedly friends with banished-Prince-turned-Fire-Lord Zuko, of all people. Close friends.
Yeah, nah.

Summary
Sokka is a man of science, and science says ghosts aren't real. So, he can't be dead... Right?
Too bad science can't explain why the only person who can see or hear him is Prince Angry Jerk.
