Summary
In his first life, Shen Yuan was familiar with a wide range of unlikely transmigration scenarios. He was an avid reader and, coincidentally, grew up alongside the international spread of the Isekai genre. He, obviously, had not seriously considered a future where he, an unremarkable twenty-something, would ever have an unfortunate encounter with Truck-kun. Sitting in a box as a wooden figurine, after having accidentally choked to death alone in his hotel room, Shen Yuan had to admit that not all isekai protagonists followed the ‘Mushouku Tensei’ model.
Or: that one where Shen Yuan transmigrates into the Nutcracker Prince.

Summary
Prince Sinon breaks the silence shortly after, his voice quieter as if to ease them both back into speaking. “You know,” he begins, and Marius glances at him. Prince Sinon’s gaze is still fixed on the magical fire. The warm glow casts dancing light and shadow across his profile. “That was nice. Your laugh, I mean - I think that was the first time I’ve heard it.”
Of all the things Marius was anticipating, so sincere a compliment was not among them. He flounders for a response, and when he doesn’t find the words right away, Prince Sinon turns to face him - questioning expression breaking into a grin. “Your blush is nice, too, though this is far from the first time I’ve seen it.”
Now that Prince Sinon has called attention to it, Marius feels the heat on his cheeks and is sure it’s deepened. Gods, this man.

Summary
"You do wrong your hand too much," Lon'qu spoke and lifted a scrap of wool, black, that could not hide the bloodied mistaken pinpricks. Proof, as much as anything, of a devoted heart.
"Or, perhaps, my hand too much does wrong," Libra replied, staring into the depths of his cooling tea. "To offer a child comfort with the same hand that bore an axe in battle... perhaps it is fitting that I be terrible at sewing."
Libra/Lon'qu. Spindles prick deep, and eternal slumbers are true-- but so too must stories be spun before they are told.

Summary
Castiel belongs to a brotherhood of monks that worships the Light, a powerful deity standing in opposition to the Darkness. All his life, Castiel has been taught that witches worship the Darkness and are therefore the brotherhood’s natural enemies. Never mind the fact that the only witch Castiel has ever met is Dean Winchester, who was kind to Castiel when he needed help and has been the subject of Castiel’s most carefully hidden dreams ever since.
One day, a foundling child turns up on the brotherhood’s doorstep and is entrusted to Castiel’s care. When the child, Jack, begins to display signs of magical powers, Castiel knows what he must do: leave the brotherhood behind and trust that Dean will help him once more.
