  1. Summary

    This is mostly meant as thought and translation exercises for myself, but I still publish them so maybe someone else can cry with me about how much I love these characters.

    Summary

    Miami, 1927: Dean Winchester has lost his job as a reporter with the Miami Herald. His mistake? He started asking questions about Charles Novak, one of the city’s most powerful men. Unwilling to let go of his story, Dean decides to head to New York and find a publisher who isn't in Novak’s pocket.

    Castiel Novak is the youngest son of Charles Novak, and he’s absolutely miserable. His father, fed up with rumors of Castiel’s dalliances with men, is determined to marry him off. As a last resort, Castiel goes on the run.

    When Dean and Castiel meet on the night bus that will take them north, sparks fly. But with their money running out fast and more than one secret looming between them, does their love stand a chance?

    Summary

    This is the knit store AU that no one asked for but I wrote anyway, where Dean, Sam and Mary sell yarn and teach knitting and crochet. Dean’s also a firefighter, because who doesn’t love a man in uniform? Sam walks dogs. But just what is Mary doing at Surekill exterminators?

    There’s Destiel and Saileen romance. Hijinks and happy times, with just enough angst and drama to keep the story going. A happy ending guaranteed.

    Selling yarn, knitting things. The family business.

    Summary

    Jon spends his two free hours in the middle of the day in a little half-desk, half-cubicle in the far corner of the fourth floor of the main library, right next to a wall of large windows overlooking one of the student garages. The area is so secluded that Jon is pretty sure most people think the fourth floor of the main library ends about two shelves over. Well, at least everyone but the student that’s started to sit in the desk pressed against the back of his.

    Summary

    The world has changed, and Martin knows the new rules as well as anyone. The monsters come when the sun sets, so you best be home before then. Blast your lights, barricade your doors. Don’t come out until morning. When Martin inadvertently stays out past sunset, he flees his monstrous pursuers and stumbles upon the Magnus Estate, eerie and seemingly abandoned, in the middle of the woods.

    Inside is a man with a monstrous face and glowing eyes, who insists Martin is the key to turning the world back.

    Or, a Beauty and the Beast au—tma style ;)

    Summary

    Sometimes, the most horrifying thing of all is what might have been.

    Somewhere, Jon could swear he heard a crowd laughing.

    Or: in which Jonathan Sims is forced to swap places with his alternate self – a tall, chivalrous hero extraordinaire, who knows neither fear nor nuance – and is sent to the aggressively straight alternate universe the Magnus Archives was never meant to be.

    “Whatever place this is,” Jon announced, “I just want to be sure it knows I hate it.”
