    Summary

    Roy never thought he would see another pair of golden eyes in his life.

    The first thing Roy set his gaze on had not been the huge suit of armour, nor the little boy’s double amputation or the wheelchair, and not even the soulless look in his eyes. It had been the colour of them.

    It felt like he’d lost the ability to breathe. Seeing that kid made him choke on his tongue, cutting off oxygen to his lungs as if he’d just been punched in the gut. He might as well have, from how fast his heart dropped.

    ---

    or, Hohenheim has a reoccurring trait of walking out on his kids, and his wife dying a year later. Also all three kids have golden eyes and a tendency to immediately go try human transmutation after a traumatizing event. This changes how Roy sees the Elric brothers. His brothers.

    Summary

    The stories chronicle a post-season 11 AU.
    When Amara raises Mary Winchester to show her gratitude to Dean, Chuck takes a moment to give a gift to Sam. He intervenes after the gun goes off and offers the younger Winchester a chance for healing beyond the physical. Healing for a soul shredded and burned.

    Using a piece of His own grace, God reforms Sam Winchester’s soul and body in order for Sam to properly process the traumas of the cage and beyond.

    Now, Sam, Dean, Mary, Castiel, and others must figure out their new roles and relationships. But the story of healing is beyond the ragtag family of misfits on Earth. What would happen if angels remembered what it meant to be angels? Heaven isn’t just a system that cares for souls. Heaven is a family. And both have been broken for a long time.

    Summary

    Sam manages to break Dean's deal and save him from Hell...at a cost. With no voice, he doesn't know if he can hunt anymore, but he gave his voice up for his brother and he'd do it again. No matter what that means for him.

    Fortunately, he's not the only one willing to do whatever it takes to stay by his brother's side.
