Summary
After a less-than-pleasant break up with his long term partner, Liathan, Esca decides he needs a change of scenery. On a whim, he purchases a horse ranch in rural Tennessee, hoping to start anew and pursue his life-long passion for horses. Esca longs for time to devote solely to himself, a place to think, and as much distance between him and the awful memories he left behind in England. What he doesn't expect is the overly-friendly and overly-handsome farrier, Marcus, for whom - despite his best efforts - Esca can't help but fall.

Summary
Pacific Rim AU:
The war against the Kaiju has been raging for years now, each and every new monster bringing new kinds of death and destruction with them. Edward Teach, callsign “Blackbeard”, and his co-pilot Israel “Izzy” Hands, callsign “First Mate”, have been conscripted into the Jaeger program as a way to atone for their criminal past. However, their drift compatibility wanes. Angry and frustrated, Izzy quits the Jaeger program all-together, leaving Ed without a co-pilot.
Enter Stede Bonnet, who left his wife and children six months prior to pursue his dream of becoming a Jaeger pilot. After a chance encounter with Ed in the hall, the two of them bond and come to the realization that they are drift compatible. After successfully drifting together, their feelings begin to evolve into something more. However after only one trial run in Stede's Jaeger, the Revenge, a Category 5 Kaiju emerges from the breach. All available Jaegers and co-pilots are called to battle. Although Stede and Ed have drifted successfully during testing, will they be able to pilot the Jaeger and fight off such a strong opponent, or will their first battle together be their last?

Summary
“Just…” He starts, then pauses, and shrugs again, “Made me think that… I dunno, guess I’ve never truly had a ‘home’, that’s all.”
Stede furrows his brow, turning to meet Ed’s gaze.
“What do you mean? Surely you had a home with your mother and father in England, yes?”
Ed shrugs again - a nervous tic that Edward only seems to display when he’s pretending to be casual - and looks away from Stede.
“I mean, yeah, I lived in a house. But my dad made that place hell, so… Didn’t feel like much of a home.”

Summary
Ed shakes his head. No. No, this cannot be Stede. Ed knows that it isn't him. But here he is… smiling, fucking singing. Relaxed. No, this man cannot possibly be him. Ed knows it can’t be him. It’s been almost 14 months now - and Stede Bonnet is dead as a doornail. He can still see the obituary, the one that Izzy had found in Barbados, and had so joyfully passed onto Edward after they’d left the port. Ed can still see the smug, pleased smirk that had tickled Izzy’s face when Ed had read the paper. Stede Bonnet - deceased. Survived by his wife and children.
More than a year after Stede Bonnet's death, Edward happens across him, seemingly alive and well, and singing love songs in a dive bar in Tahiti.

Summary
With frantic, fumbling steps, Hamish hurries back to his car, grabs his radio, and alerts headquarters.
“Yes, uh,” He huffs with urgency, “This is PC Hamish Black; I’ve got two folks out here off the A30, both suffering from severe injuries and unresponsive. One burn and one… impact, maybe? I can’t tell. I need emergency units here as soon as possible.”
Hamish takes another look at the two men strewn across the highway, the rubble and flames surrounding them both. He vaguely hears headquarters responding to his alert.
“Please, hurry,” he mutters.

Summary
“You sure you’re okay?”
“I dunno, man,” Jean starts, “Just thinking that… a lot of things could be down that hall. Lot of normal, not paranormal, things… I just…”
Without thinking, Marco reaches down and clasps his hand around Jean’s.
“Come on, tough guy,” Marco prods gently, giving Jean’s hand another squeeze, “thought you weren’t scared.”
“I never claimed to not be scared of ax murderers, Marco.”
“There’s no one here. Come on, we’ll just do a quick sweep down the hall with the EMF. If we get something, we’ll use the spirit box, then we go home.”
Jean clenches his shut before releasing a long and exasperated sigh. He nods begrudgingly and places one hand flat against Marco’s chest. Marco tries to the jolt of heat that Jean’s touch sends coursing through his sternum.

Summary

Summary
Most years, he and Marco would have erected and decorated their Christmas tree together, while some sickeningly festive Christmas music played throughout the house - always Marco’s choice - but not this year. This year, he assembles the plastic tree alone and in silence. This year he unboxes and unwraps the ornaments with only the rustling of packing paper to keep him company.

Summary
Crowley, despite having been in his human form for thousands of years, still periodically has flare-ups of scales across his skin - a remnant from his belly-crawling days. He does his best to hide them away from everyone, especially Aziraphale, but sometimes, he cannot hide who he truly is.

Summary
this is a story about Hell; this is a story about loss; this is a story of determination and our unwillingness to let go.
this is a story about love and separation and the fears we harbor deep inside our souls: the fear we have that we might lose the ones we love.
this is, ultimately, a story of love and redemption and transcendence in even the darkest of places.

Summary
There's only 10 years left until Armageddon, but Aziraphale is still focused on making sure all his blessings and miracles are taken care of. When he asks Crowley to go to Tadfield for a few quick blessings, Crowley reluctantly agrees (Tadfield isn’t exactly the most exciting place to spend a weekend). But when, by chance, he flubs a minor miracle, Crowley has an uncomfortable interaction with a woman named Anathema who seems to see a lot more than she’s supposed to. When Crowley returns to London, he’s faced with a difficult choice: lie to Aziraphale and tell him everything went fine, or come clean with his little screw up, own up to the odd things Anathema told him, and simply deal with the aftermath of being honest.
Neither option sounds particularly appealing.

Summary
"Request: College au, Literature Teacher's Assistant (TA) Marco and Calculus Teacher's Assistant (TA) Jean
Description: Jean is really good with numbers, and Marco is really good with words, and they both breezed through their respective classes and became TAs for their respective classes. They both know of the other, but haven't formally met yet. Maybe Eren or the RBA trio is/are mutual friend(s) of them both. Both of their TA classes are right across the hall from each other, and since they technically haven't met yet, they don't know what the other looks like. Cue petty teasing about how numbers are better than words, or words make more sense than numbers. Playful teasing back and forth to the point where it becomes a joke within their classes and stuff. Then their mutual friend decides to introduce them to each other and they have a moment of "Oh my God, I know you!" before they agree to start hanging out more regularly.

Summary
Aziraphale buys a quiet cottage in the middle of the English countryside. It is perfect in every way: old-style, quaint, surrounded by wilderness, with a small water feature in the back and a price to rival that of any other property he's seen. He is in love from the moment he sees it.
But when a mysterious set of books, all written by unknown author A.J. Crowley, appears on his book shelf, Aziraphale begins to wonder if there is perhaps more to this house than he'd originally believed.
The truth can be buried, but it cannot stay hidden forever.

Summary
When it comes to falling from grace, Aziraphale would be lying if he said he hadn't expected something… different… than what it was.
He’d expected it, the Fall, he means, to be immediately and unquestionably painful.
He’d expected it hurt, to burn, to envelope him in agony as he careened a million light years across the cosmos, downward, towards the nether realms. What was the point of a punishment if you didn’t realize you were being punished in the moment? That was Heaven’s usual approach to that sort of business - or so Aziraphale thought.
Instead, the Fall itself was quick and painless. So quick he didn’t even have a chance to fully realize it was happening.
One moment, he was standing in the upper offices in front of the Archangels and the other Principalities, and in the next moment, he was waking up in a daze on the floor of his bookshop.
He doesn’t know what he expected - but it certainly wasn’t this.

Summary
The day he’d given the sword away - the same day a certain demon had slithered into his orbit - he’d never truly parted with the weapon.
Oh, yes, of course, the sword itself was gone. Physical steel engulfed in flames, dealt to the hands of the humans, whom Aziraphale could only hope would use it more wisely than he had (quite unwise, he imagines, to just give weapons away). But despite the sword’s physical absence, its essence had never truly left him.
Somewhere, deep beneath the surface, mixed into the celestial core that made up his soul, the sword’s righteous fire would always burn.
