Summary
We begin again from the end.
Dean is in Heaven.
Castiel is lost in the Empty.
Sam is on Earth, a father and a lawyer.🔄
We begin again where the series left us orphaned of unanswered questions.
From Dean’s grief, from Cas’s fragile hope, from Sam’s sheer force of will.
From cracks creeping into the fabric of reality, and newly born, glittering angels.✨
This is a story of new beginnings, new roles, new cards to play.
A story where not everything follows destiny’s design, and where choices and bonds matter more than anything else.💚💙❤️
There will be returns, redemption, pain, introspection, a touch of comedy, and so, so much love.
❤️🩹
P.S.
This story was born in September 2021, with its first eight chapters.
Then it was left behind, picked up again in fragments over the years… until the time was right.
Until it was time to share it.This is a story that carries a large part of me within it.
A story I grew up with.
It changed a thousand times in my head, but its final direction was always the same.Things don’t always go the way we expect them to—
not even love stories written in Heaven.💚

Summary
Arthur has always taken Merlin on every mission — unarmoured, untrained, endlessly reckless.
It never used to matter.
But lately, every danger feels sharper. Every close call lasts too long.
And Merlin is starting to notice the way Arthur hovers… and how the prince’s worry is beginning to look a lot like something else.
A slow-burn story about devotion disguised as duty, love revealed through quiet choices, and the people who become home when the world turns dangerous.
Love wins — even when it has to fight for it.
Written with a companion playlist (linked in the notes) :)

Summary
Three schools since the start of the year. That’s how many schools Bruce had attended and been subsequently expelled from.
Bruce Banner wouldn't call himself a bad kid. A good kid? No way. A good kid would let himself be bullied, or tell a teacher and hope even when no help came, a good kid would keep a lid on his anger, a good kid would stop making life harder for his mom— On second thoughts, maybe he was a bad kid. Either way, he never meant to hurt anybody, but he just couldn't help but fuck everything up for everybody. He couldn't help but blow up. He didn't like being angry.
Now, in his new school, he had an opportunity for a fresh start, even if he didn't expect it to last long. Instead, in an unlikely turn of events including buses, brothers, and a troupe of guard dogs, Bruce befriended some of the most popular kids in school, and now people were leaving him alone. But, in place of them, there are suspicious whispers, dangerous secrets, and one of the few things that Bruce really should smash, but it wants to smash him first.
This could get him in jail, or even dead. But, hey, at least he'll be doing it with Thor.

Summary
“Hey, hey,” Sam calls. “Stop.”
Bucky scowls at him. “What?”
Sam moves his hands around. “Stop this. Stop walking, it’s giving me a headache.”
Bucky sighs in frustration. He stands still for a moment, then starts pacing again, his hands tightly closed in a fist.
“Barnes-“ Sam warns.
Bucky turns to look at him. “I can’t. I can’t stay still and wait, I’m sorry, Sam.” He bites the inside of his cheeks. “Fuck. I’m losing my mind.”
“You’ll only gonna drive yourself crazy.”
“Well, what else am I supposed to do?!” Bucky stares at him, eyes wide, and he belatedly thinks he might have already gone crazy.
Sam’s face is unreadable at first, then he shrugs. “You could fuck me.”Series

Summary
Sam suggested a little game between him and Bucky: No touches for a few weeks. Sam had gloated that Bucky couldn't last long, but what Sam doesn't know is that Bucky could be an unmoving rock when it came down to it.
So Sam, the foolish man he was, is left begging, pleading, for any sort of touch from the man he loved most. But it was his game to begin with.

Summary

Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
Cover art by Lao-Pendragon------
For many long years Merlin waited.
For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.
Until one day, suddenly, it did.
When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.
Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

Summary
This is it. The door is all that stands between Loki and Mobius.
Aaand... Loki’s heart decides it's time to flop like a fish on the pavement.
He just fought TVA Hunters, an Armorer, and surveillance workers. He survived two years hiding out in the alternate TVA, side-stepped every trap, and avoided the pain that waited for him at every turn. To top it all off, he just singlehandedly faced the TVA - or, a significant aspect of it - after everything and *won*.
And yet…
None of it compares to how scared Loki is now.
He fixes his hair in the reflection, tightens his tie, inspects his face.
None of it will do. What is he thinking?
Why would Mobius even *want* to see him?
“Dammit, what am I doing?” Loki finally chastises himself. He’d made his decision. No take-backs.
Loki twists the doorknob.
…
“Loki…?”
————
Two years after S1E6, L1130 - our Loki - is still trapped in the alternate TVA. Loki must do what he always does: go it alone… and survive. That is until Mobius - his Mobius - finally finds him in the alternate TVA.
A riff on the Netflix series Heartstopper, but with Mobius and L1130.

Summary
Charles Xavier is leading the school. Sure, Covid is taking hold and choking all of his hopes and dreams out of him, and sure he hasn't been sober in a month for even a moment, but he is running the school and he's doing a damn good job of it too.
Oh, and Erik is gone. But Charles doesn't need him. Erik's probably doing just fine without him.
And if Charles's grown-out hair and bottles of liquor were pushed in a closet, Charles would look fine also.And just maybe their friends could help them get past their melodrama and get back together before they start a world war.
( A continuation of Dear Reader, it's is required reading, you're gonna be lost without it. )

Summary
In an attempt to create the best possible timeline, Dr. Strange decides the X-Men need some... restructuring. Specifically, if Charles and Erik had been openly gay from the start, they could have saved hundreds of lives. So, naturally, he swaps out present-day Charles and Erik with their 1963 counterparts to lead the school and take up the mantel while their older selves get to retire in peace.
With a cup of repressed sexuality, a dash of truly terrible hair (Charles), and seasoning to taste with unlimited pining, surely nothing could go wrong.
Chaos ensues.
Oh! And it starts in January, 2020

Erik has never been good at turning off his mind. Early in his relationship with Charles he finds out that this is a bit more of an issue than he had realized, and Charles is never going to let him lay awake, thinking all by himself.
Uh, that is if Charles wasn't such a sleepy head. And if Erik wasn't a tiny bit of a dick.

“What do I want from you? Well, isn’t that the million dollar question,” Tony huffs, hips still working Steve deep, still driving him insane. “I think we’ve established that our wants and needs are a touch more different than we’d ever imagined." The words ring true even as they sting. “But that’s in the past.” He pauses, leaning down to kiss Steve, lick into his mouth, devour him. “Right, babe?”

Summary
Erik Lehnsherr and Charles Xavier met a year ago in the chess club and have hated each other ever since. Sworn academic rivals.
But when Erik took justice into his hands a little too freely and got kicked out of the dorms, he didn't ever consider that taking his best friend up on her offer to replace their fourth roommate in a little apartment off campus would mean living with his enemy.
Charles, for his part, is going to be MUCH more mature about this, and smile through gritted teeth while bemoaning the beautiful Polish man who suddenly lives across the hall from him.
