Summary
"My apologies,” says Reuben with a slight, awkward laugh. “I hope that wasn’t too overbearing, and I have to ask…you’ve never been believers?”
“No,” Dean says, at the same time Sam says, “We’re more spiritual than religious. You know. I used to pray a lot.”
Reuben looks interested. “Did you. Why did you stop?”
Sam has this strange look on his face that’s halfway between calm and angry. It’s so weird, and Dean’s convinced he’s seen it once before, but he doesn’t remember where.
“It doesn’t seem to do a lot,” Sam says.
Well, Dean can agree with him there. With maybe one exception.
Trying to distract themselves after the events of My Bloody Valentine, Sam, Dean, and Castiel travel to a town in western North Carolina where five children have vanished. But while Lucifer isn't waiting for them, the case isn't as cut and dry as they think.

Summary
The Empire has been described as many things. A savior. An oppressor. A peacekeeping force. A decree. Inescapable. Immovable. Crushing. Powerful.
But what the Empire truly is, at the end of the day, is what all authoritarian governments become: a disease. The disease begins by infecting one person. Then, that person passes the disease to another. While at first able to be ignored, over time the disease spreads from planet to planet until it has infected the entire galaxy. And it is not a disease that kills; but rather, a disease that kills the spirit, but keeps the body living.
What do you do with saviors? With oppressors? With an army to keep the peace, with governments of all forms? The answers are rather complicated.
But with an infectious disease, there is only one answer:
Total and complete eradication.The rise of the Rebellion, and moral fall of the Empire, as chronicled over five years from the eyes of four characters: Bodhi Rook, Leia Organa, Bail Organa, and Biggs Darklighter.

Summary
Sam’s eyes closed for a long moment.
“I understand,” he said heavily, “more than you know. And you might not be ready for this, but you need to hear it.” He took a deep breath. “Your brother is going to die, and there’s nothing you can do about it. You’re either going to leave town, or you’re going to run home, and you are going to have to watch him die.” There wasn’t really anger in Sam’s eyes, but something desperate. A cornered animal begging for death. “Got it?”
As a small Kentucky town faces repercussions from the first seals breaking, an unlikely duo arrives to save it from extinction.Series

Summary
"You threatened to throw me back in. I sold my fucking soul to get down there and then I wasn’t even strong enough to keep taking the pain. So, so I don’t know where you get off trying to convince me I didn’t belong there.”
Cas’ expression changes, almost imperceptibly.
“That’s the demon talking,” he says.
“I don’t even want to look at you after what you tried to pull with Anna,” Dean says, turning back to stare at his knees. “Get out of here.”
A hand lands on his shoulder, right over the fucking mark. Dean jolts. When he looks up, Cas is closer, and there’s…almost a kind expression on his face.
“Your mother would not hate you for what you did in hell,” he says.An examination of Dean and hell and how demons managed to convince the little boy who made Christmas for his brother when their dad didn't come home that he was a monster.

Summary
The first time the thought I love him enters Padmé’s mind, they’re sitting in the grass she played in as a little girl. She tells him how difficult it is to get the other senators to listen, and Anakin says, unflinching, “then they should be made to.”
She doesn’t agree with him. There’s something a little disturbing about it. Padmé has been a defender of justice for most of her life, even despite the futility of it; she knows that forcing your way never helps and runs counter to what she believes in.
But sometimes it’s frustrating, working with her own colleagues who see the same shit she sees, day in and day out, people starving, problems like slavery and child sex rings and spice addiction get ignored; as they see that and do nothing. It’s frustrating to devote herself to justice in the galaxy, and to feel at times like she’s the only one who cares.AKA the Padmé thesis - why it makes perfect sense that someone like her would fall in love with Anakin Skywalker, and devote herself to the Republic, even while something rotten was growing inside both of them.
