    leave no stone unturned (a series of standalones) by

    Fandom: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

    15 Apr 2023

    Summary

    Series was formerly "Remus Lupin and the darkness", but evolved way beyond that.

    I should probably make clear somewhere that these are standalones in that they share some sort of continuity, but occasionally veer of into different AUs at different points of the timestream. So Not By Force is definitely not where things are meant to go, it's just an exercise in misery ^^

    Summary

    A Curse of Obedience is cast on Dean. Dean finds himself forced to obey every “order” given to him (very literally). Worse, the witch made sure that he can’t even tip off Sam or Cas with what’s going on. Will either of them figure it out? Or will Dean be stuck doing what they say (even if it isn’t what they mean)?

    Summary

    She was born before the fall of her people. When her father had still been king and her mother alive. She was not a destined saviour of the new world for she had come when the old world was still enough. But she had survived. He, guardian of the palace, had made sure she would. To watch over her brother, incarnation of their father, to protect his will, perhaps, but most of all to fulfill a promise to himself, to his fallen friends. “Their daughter would live.” So, you could say her destiny was to live, and live she did.

    He was born into this world a miracle. He was not a saviour from another world— he was a saviour from this one. His father an outcast, his mother ill and he, an orphan. He had dragged himself through dirt and mud, limb by limb, to rise above and bring the world with him. He had purpose and a dream, and to the lost girl who knew of nothing, not even herself, he was life itself. And so, her destiny became him.

    Summary

    "You don't understand what you're asking. My world doesn't work the way yours does." Nevertheless, Mal tells her mother no...and suffers the consequences, alongside the captured royalty of Auradon, as the villains rampage and her trusted best friends remain unfettered, feigning loyalty to their parents.

    Divided, the Isle-born rotten quartet must rely on old allies to survive, as well as their tenuous relationships with their Auradon-born peers. They don't have much time to uncover their strengths and make their choices, but...

     

    ("Our parents made their choice. Now you make yours.")

     

    They have nothing to lose.

    ::

    AU canon divergence from the first film—because segregating evil villains from the rest of society does not logically look like a half-humorous cohort of “has-beens”.

    Summary

    “Here’s what I think,” Nathaniel's voice is hushed. He activates his ability, lets his blood take the shape of a sword and presses it against the jester's neck, “I think your ignorance is a mask for your fear.”

    Without breaking eye contact Nikolai leans in impossibly close, so close that the sword against his neck is now digging into his skin.

    “And I think,” Nathaniel can feel the heat of his breath on his lips, “your faith is a mask for your desire.”

    //

    Summary

    The night John Winchester dies, Dean drives aimlessly through the city until he finds himself stopping at a bookstore he’s never noticed before. He doesn’t know why he stops. He doesn’t know why he goes inside.

    The place is warm and inviting, even if the shopkeeper is a little robotic. While browsing the shelves, Dean finds surreal books like histories where the Titanic never sank and JFK was never assassinated.

    And then he finds his shelf: rows of books bearing his name. Some are pasts he never lived. Others are futures he never could have dreamed. All of them are impossible lives. The shopkeeper tells him the only way to leave is to choose one. When Dean refuses, the bookstore turns against him, plunging him into a nightmare with only one way out: choose.

    What does free will mean in a place like this? And what happens to those who refuse to choose?

    10 Nov 2024

    Summary

    Each Tumblr post should be attributed to the associated Tumblr accounts, in accordance with what the Tumblr links show.

    This series is a backup / reformatting of the Good Omens Crackpotting Theory Tracker Google Document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i-hHTbAT5C2XwvNv_EGohMsBtuOrhypS81HFd0srWW8/edit

    The backup is "complete" as of 18 November 2023, however the tracking of metas is continuing. Incorporation / updates will come first to the Google Doc, and then the updates posted in the relevant chapter here.

    This is not my individual work. It points to over 100 fans contributions to understanding the layered meanings in the book and show.

    I'm happy to add contributors as co-creators, add links to your AO3 work, or other recognition as you wish. I'm not entirely sure where to find Tumblrs on AO3, but will be working to add those links where they are clear.

    Father Unclothe Me Of This Wretched Flesh by

    Summary

    “I just realised,” Sam says, and she thinks he might be lying. “I guess I was too busy to give it much thought at the time, but do you know who wasn’t in Dean’s heaven? Dad.”
    “That can’t be true,” Mary crosses her arms. “Dean and John were always…”
    “I know, it’s weird isn’t it?” Sam says. He’s toying with his bottle, rolling it from hand to hand. She notices it but she doesn’t know what it means, not the way John probably did. Not the way Dean would. “And they spent so much time together too, you’d think some of it must’ve been happy. But I guess that’s Dean and dad in a nutshell: normal enough on the surface, but scratch that away and all you find are secrets.”

     

    Ressurected (again) in a clumsy attempt at divine redemption (again) and stuck in the happily ever after part of the story, Mary does her best to cope with the motherhood she can never quite remember wanting. But Dean won’t stop screaming in his sleep, and Jack won’t stop trying to fix him and there’s a storm in the distance that won’t stop brewing.
    It'll probably all be fine.

    Do you understand? the very fabric of existence asks, and Cal, clinging to the line between life and death, thinks no—

    For a brief moment, an infinite moment, a moment everywhere in between, he encompasses the universe, and the universe encompasses him. Around, around, around he goes, and there is a terrible emptiness in the space where he and the cosmos exist.

    NULLverse: The Bot-Construct Disaster Squad by

    Fandom: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells

    15 Nov 2025

    Summary

    With Networks VOID/Networks VITAL, NULLverse is narratively Complete. But I keep writing anyway. Cuz it's fun.

    Consider this series if you like: feral shit, disaster, continuity of identity+memory, societies of people with divergent needs/wants, chaos, robot creation ethics, violence vs security, suffering, healing, bad puns.

    Canon Divergence AU:
    - At the end of Exit Strategy, the Combat SecUnit succeeds at capturing Murderbot
    - Murderbot is subjected to Palisade's construct research lab as they try to figure out what makes a rogue tick
    - The Combat SecUnit is A (Problematic) Character
    - Disaster ensues

    Note installment one, Parameters NULL, is heavily horror/angst (and dark comedy). References NULL is also deeply angsty.

    Series has its ups and downs regarding angst, slightly-less-dark comedy, and trauma recovery themes. Plus some whack worldbuilding speculation. We like to multi track drift here. It’s crack it’s angst it’s fluff? We have the RangeTM

    Some installments are skippable if u so prefer. Reading order is suggested but not strictly necessary if u are a flexible type. Mix and match if you want. Go crazy. I know I am.

    Hope you have fun!

    Cas, You Had A Baby? by

    Summary

    At some point in every angel's life, raising a fledgling is required. Castiel's turn comes rather unexpectedly when his superiors hand off a newly created infant angel to him and leave him to raise it with all of Heaven's principles of blind obedience. He's not sure what to do, so he tucks the fledgling in his coat and goes straight to Dean and Sam Winchester. Together, Dean and Castiel hatch a plan to raise the fledgling away from Heaven's control. And soon, the angel Hael arrives with news that, after Castiel disappeared, she and four other angels ran from Heaven's oppression with their fledglings. Castiel finds himself the unwitting ringleader of angels choosing to raise their fledglings with the principles of free will. Is angelic parenthood too much for his deepening relationship with Dean? Who can they really trust? (Disclaimer: This story depicts fledglings consuming honey for the nourishment of their undeveloped graces. Human babies cannot consume honey, so please do not feed it to your infants. This is fiction.)
