Summary
[podfic version]
Only a very few people in the world know that the celebrated and reclusive poet Jack Allen is just Kansas mechanic Dean Winchester, a high school dropout with a few bucks to his name. Not that it matters anymore; life has left him so wrung out he never wants to pick up another pen.Until, that is, a string of coincidences leads Dean to auditing a poetry course with one Dr. Castiel Novak. The professor is wildly intelligent, devastatingly handsome...and just so happens to be academia's foremost expert on the poetry of Jack Allen.

Summary
In the spring of 1944, the 104th Medical Battalion of the United States Army is disbanded, and its men reassigned to various infantry companies in preparation for their invasion of occupied France. For First Lieutenant Novak, this is less than helpful, as he has so far met his platoon’s designated medic a grand total of twice, and has both times found Sergeant Winchester to be the optimum combination of reckless, arrogant, and downright insufferable so as to make cohesive platoon function near impossible. When the time comes to move out, however, Castiel has to reconcile himself to the fact that men are going to go down and trust that Dean Winchester may well be the only person who can put them back together again.

Summary
The briefing was simple: ‘Stand guard over the Michael Sword until the battle is ready to commence. Await further instructions.’
Castiel doesn’t mind working security duty; he was briefed shortly after the initial salvation of the Sword from the pit, and again before taking up his position. He knows what to do. However, it’s easy to forget that the green room isn’t real. Time moves differently there, the space ever-changing to make a prison of mountains, cathedrals, salt flats, orchards, and whatever Castiel was led to believe about Heaven’s greatest weapon—Dean Winchester is something entirely unexpected.

This is grandiose, amazingly well written, and never drags. Can't believe I read 85k in nearly one sitting.
This works with a minimum amount of knowledge of canon and I thank the author for their colossal effort. -

Summary
Their eyes met, like they had a million times before, like they had for years.
Some things were new. Dorian was absently twisting a ring that wasn’t there, the skin of his finger slightly red where a discreet rose golden band used to be. Cullen was nursing an apple juice on the rocks. And yet, some things would never change. Whether they were new recruits excited to visit every hotel the airline had to offer or 20 years into their career, a 10 hours layover to operate the last flight from Denerim to Orlais and the first back to Denerim in the morning was never enough for them to get any rest. They had always met in the quiet of the night, away from hotel rooms they didn’t use, at the 24/7 bar, a moment that was just theirs.

my favourite plane crash.
the author writes agonisingly well.
the only love triangle (or one of the few) I will ever willingly inflict upon myself.
