    Summary

    After her engagement with her stupid ex crumbled and burst into flames, Y/N tries to get her life back together.
    She’s fine — or at least she was — until she got her sister’s wedding invitation in the mail.
    A wedding in which her ex will serve as the groom’s best man.
    In order to show her past fiancé that she’s totally over him, she needs to show up with a date at the wedding, even if it’s just a pretend relationship with a male escort whom she pays a lot of money for.
    But pretending is all it is, because she can’t let herself fall for an escort — or can she?

    Summary

    Jensen's feeling on top of the world. Returning home after living abroad, he's found the perfect job, restoring the sadly neglected gardens of an old mansion.

    Summary

    Winged ones are considered exotic animals, and it's illegal to own one. When the human population notices that the winged population is severely declining, they open up enclosures in zoos to start breeding programs.

    Jared has grown up being mocked for being attracted to males - something he made clear when he didn't realize he would be made fun of for it by his peers for the rest of his life. He's convinced that no other winged one would ever be like him, and he's doomed to die without a mate.

    When Jared fails to take place in the annual mating ritual once again, he is disowned by his family that finally realizes he's never going to change. On his own, Jared doesn't last long before he's caught by humans and put into a zoo enclosure. Jared sees an attractive male preening and showing off his wings in a clear invitation to mate, and even through his sadness at missing his freedom, he is filled with jealousy for whichever female has caught the man's attention.

    Jensen was born and raised in the enclosure and never desired anyone as a mate, but the new arrival definitely catches his eye. He just can't quite figure out what he's doing wrong in his increasingly flamboyant attempts to attract him.

    Summary

    Jared is nearing 18 soon and the day hangs over him like a dark cloud--no the black death. He's been in this world almost 18 years, and sees no benefit from staying in it. Being a practiced magician, over a decade (mind you), he decides to open a portal to travel into other worldly dimensions. He's very witty, maybe a little foolish, but very determined to get what he wants.

    Jensen is the know it all, bored as fuck, deity that answers the call. The incantation doesn't name him specifically, but he can't resist the lure of innocence as he follows the voice all the way across the rainbow bridge to the source. He finds Jared foolish and completely innocent. He decides to take advantage without fully understanding the consequences of his own actions.

    This is the complex story of how they went from being complete strangers, to bitter enemies turned reluctant allies. Once an alliance is struck, they develop a unique working relationship all their own.

    "and still, the stars come out.
    and still, the sun comes up.
    and still, the moon folds
    and unfolds herself
    and chases the waves

    and still, we are alive.
    and still, the flowers grow."

    Summary

    Jeff Morgan is the leader of a gang, his own tight knit family of robbers, murderers and gunslingers. While he doesn't have a 'real' family anymore, he has his surrogate sons. Jensen Ackles, whom he took in over ten years ago, when the boy was but a teenager. And Jared Padalecki. His story was similar to Jensen's but he joined Jeff's family a good few years later. While Jensen isn't exactly the forthcoming type about how he felt towards people, Jared is one who'd share even less. So up to today, Jeff still didn't really know what must have happened between the two that they were more than wary of each other with Jared even refusing to use Jensen's first name.

    His family was not all Jeff had. He had a best friend. Or rather, he used to. Mark Pellegrino and himself had been as tight as they came as young adults. But something happened a while after Jeff took in Jensen and it left the best friends in a bitter feud. They both built their own gangs and were now bitter rivals. Jeff had lost quite a few men to the guns of the Pellegrinos, and vice versa. In fact, Mark was at a point where he would do just anything to get his hands on Jeff's prized pony, or, if he couldn't, to get rid of it.

    Summary

    Jared was beginning to think that, given some time, they could really come together as an awesome band. Sure, they were all very different people - different personalities, different backgrounds, different specializations. And yet, they were also alike in a lot of ways. They had a love of music and performance in common, for one thing. Blending their talents together into a successful group would take effort and a willingness to compromise, not to mention, a lot of hard work, like Tahmoh had told them the first time they met. Jared hoped they had the perseverance to see it through.

      Bookmark Notes:

      Several reasons attracted me to this story. First and foremost, I’d read this author's works a few years ago and really enjoyed them. The second reason being the tags, specifically ‘bed-sharing’ and ‘sleeping on top of each other’. As y’all most definitely know by now, I am an absolute cuddle addict. Couple that with this author’s amazing writing style, I was expecting a treat going into this. And… I’m ecstatic to say I got exactly what I’d been hoping for (and more). It’s seriously baffling how fics riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, not to mention a barely cohesive plotline, get tons of engagement while stories like this one get passed on. Y’all have no idea what y’all are missing. I can only be thankful that this author wrote as much as she did for this story. My mental wellbeing has improved immensely after spending time with these characters and their lives, and I'll be shocked if that isn't the case for you as well. :'))

    Summary

    Sam will come. Sam will come. Sam will come.

    The words pound in his head in sync with his panicky heart. Those words have become his mantra, his confession of faith, his password to a place the pain couldn't reach him, couldn't crash him, couldn't kill.

    Sam always came. He had to, because that was the only way Dean could cope. He — fuck, he just had no other way. He. Had. No. Other. Way.
