Summary
James T. Kirk and Gaila Vro run Starfleet Academy's student radio station.
They get into really in-depth discussions about philosophy and sociology, then 2 minutes later take a call and give someone advice on looking after their friend's cat. Jim's studying to take the notorious Kobayashi Maru simulation for the second time, when one windy Thursday morning he collides with a tall stranger on the way to campus. After a brief chat, they part ways - seemingly forever, until an intrigued Commander Spock decides to contact the cadet who retook his unbeatable sim. Then he gets invited onto the student radio he's been hearing all about during class. The result? An electric discussion that sparks a timeline-defying connection.Featuring my unasked for music recommendations shoved in under the pretence of creativity, as many discarded/mistreated-by-canon female characters I can fit in this damn thing, and more use of italics than can possibly be considered sane, tune in, sit back, and welcome to the show.

Summary
"Fine, whatever. Love you too, asshole. I hope you enjoy your walk home with your stupid, grainy bread. Taking Nature's Own a little too much to heart, but sure," Dean tells him, flashing him a sarcastic smile and swiveling around in the aisle to march away. He throws out something over his shoulder, careless and barbed. "I'm not paying for that shitty cardboard."
Dean's three aisles over when he realizes what, precisely, he said. Thankfully, when he comes to this conclusion, he's holding a box of poptarts, so when he fumbles and drops them to the floor, it's not a huge mess. He stares down at the slightly dented box of Brown Sugar Poptarts, and he has a very swift and very unshakeable crisis right there and then.
Love you too, asshole.
No, no, no. Why would he say that? Why would he do that? In the middle of the goddamn grocery store while arguing about bread? That's not—that can't be how it happens. That can't be.

Summary
“So where are we going?”
Dean’s heart nearly stops as he slams Baby’s brakes, grateful there's no one else behind them on the road.
He whips around in his seat, only to come face-to-face with a kid who is decidedly not Sammy. His messy blonde hair is cut above his ears (something he can only dream of Sam doing)and he’s quite a few years younger than Dean's brother, feet dangling off the edge of the seat and not really touching the floor.
“You’re not Sammy…” He tries to not break into hysterics. Sammy doesn't have a black backpack decorated with little embroidered honeybees, he doesn't wear Velcro shoes, and he certainly doesn't squint his wide blue eyes and cock his head to the side when confused.
“No,” The little boy answers carefully, “I’m Jack.”

Summary
What does John see when he looks at Cas?
Cas doesn’t look like a monster.
But neither does Dean.
John stands, slow. He holds out a hand. Calloused like Dean’s hands are calloused. Scarred the same way that Dean’s hands are scarred. There’s the smell of him in the air too. Earthy and dark, slightly sour around the edges. The room feels suddenly choked with it. Claustrophobic.
Cas probably smells like the fabric softener they buy in bulk at Costco, but so does Dean so he can’t tell.
John says, toneless, “I hear you’ve been driving my car.”
. . .
The closer you are to what you want—
Dean's twenty-nine year old mother, his undefined relationship with Cas and their small family. Some kind of impossible reconciliation with John Winchester. Michael, out of his head, without destroying the world. His father's approval. To see the Grand Canyon.
—The more vulnerable you are.

Summary
Life was pretty damn fine for Dean Winchester. He liked his job, his kid was awesome and their house was that kind Dean had always pictured a respectable apple pie American family would have, even if his little family looked a bit different to most, but that wasn’t no thing these days.
Life was good, Dean was happy even. Well, maybe happy wasn’t exactly the right word, but things were good. Just that last piece of the puzzle to find and happy could be well, Dean tried not to think too much about that particular detail.
What began as routine day on the job for firefighter Dean Winchester, set in motion a chain of events which would change the trajectory of not only his life, but that of his daughter Claire and two strangers who would become anything but.
