Summary
Remus Lupin likes the safety of the routine life he built for himself. He likes his job, he likes his little apartment with the plants he can never manage to keep alive, and he likes grading his papers at the local hipster-esque coffee shop down the street where he can blend into the crowd and surreptitiously steal glances at the unfairly attractive baker.
Except one morning, there's no crowd to blend into when he's caught snickering at the web of well-meaning lies the other man walks face first into.
(I'm super bad at summaries. It's a fake dating modern AU where Sirius has been telling Mrs. Potter he's dating someone for 9 months and she demands his "boyfriend" comes on their family vacation. Queue: shenanigans between wolfstar and jily as they lie their asses off.)

Summary
It starts with Cas’s obsession with the new café in town. Or maybe it starts with Dean’s obsession with Cas. Or, perhaps, it starts with the first peaceful autumn Dean’s experienced since he was four. It definitely starts with a man and the former angel who loves him.
Or, the one where Dean finally has the balls to tell Cas how much he’s loved (spoiler: it’s a lot). Plus, cookie experiments, sad girl autumn music, colorful foliage, and other fall things.

Summary
She lets out a low whistle. “Damn,” she says, not even bothering to look up as Dean comes to sit on the counter beside her. “You guys did well yesterday, huh?”
Dean shrugs. “I guess. Wednesdays get a lot of foot traffic. Dunno why.”
Jo gives him a sidelong look. “It’s because on Wednesdays, we have your ‘Strawberry Heaven Pie’ or whatever the hell you call it.”
“Strawberry Chocolate Oasis Pie,” he corrects. “And there’s absolutely no way to prove that. People probably just like to get some sorta treat in the middle of the week or whatever.”
“I absolutely can prove that, when was the last time any of that pie was left at the end of the day—hell, at the end of the morning shift?”
“Okay, that’s definitely an exaggeration,” he retorts. “It’s never sold out before lunch.”
“Can you stop being a bitch and accept that people like your pie?” -

Summary
Sam is usually on farmer’s market duty for Two Brothers’ Bakery, leaving Dean to run the store. When Sam gets the flu, Dean steps in and takes over their stall for the day, finally getting a good look at the town’s flourishing artisan market. He expected a lot of vegetables and snotty-looking juice. What he didn’t expect was a blue-eyed honey seller and his barefoot, slightly-too-honest kid.

Summary
Castiel just wants to be left alone to a quiet life with his bees, his garden, and occasional pestering from his favorite brother. The last thing he's interested in is going out and being around people, even on a good day-- humanity as a whole, he loves, individual humans, he could do without. Especially as his good days grow harder and his health grows worse. He's not interested in the relationships 'everyone' wants, and he's sure he's not anyone else's idea of relationship material, and while he's glad Gabriel was able to find someone, he just needs it known that he's fine the way he is.
When he's told it would be a kindness to someone else, to hire on a little help, he agrees. Little does he know Dean Winchester is about to upend everything he thought about what he needed out of life.

Summary
Marshall Robert Singer has one hand resting on his hip, the other gripping the discarded practice pole. Castiel thinks he looks tired. That said, with how the kaiju have been crawling with increasing frequency out of the Breach with every passing week and decimating the cities lining the Pacific, no one can blame the man for that.
Castiel knows there aren't enough Jaegers or Jaeger pilots left to defend the coastline against the monsters—but with his history, he's not getting back into harness. He's never joining his mind with anyone else's. Not again.
“Congratulations. You boys done dancing yet?” Singer demands, thumping the butt of the staff on the ground with blunt, percussive force. “We got work to do.”
“Work?” Castiel asks, frowning.
“Congratulations?” Dean finishes.
“Well, yeah.” The Marshall of North America's last battle-center looks back and forth between them, clearly questioning their intelligence. His lip curls just slightly under his beard—no doubt at their blank expressions. “You’re obviously Drift-compatible, ya idjits.”
“What?”
“What?”

Summary
An alternate world where Iroh leads a coup against Ozai on the eclipse and wins the throne for Zuko. The southern water tribe hadn't sent men to fight in thirty years, instead protecting their home, laying traps, using guerilla tactics so the fire nation gave up fighting them.
Sokka and Katara found Aang, but being frozen in ice for a hundred years has ramifications and for almost four years the tribe focuses on healing the avatar.
Zuko is advised for continued peace to have an arranged marriage outside the fire nation. The best option is a the child of the chief of the southern tribe. Katara is in love with Aang and is heartbroken, but will do her duty for her people. Sokka finds a loophole that they can carefully and craftily exploit.
Aka they lie. They lie so hard and Sokka becomes the one betrothed to Fire Lord Zuko. He is sure there will be no consequences to the plan. Certainly not going to fall in love with the man he is lying to. At all. Nope indeedy, no love on the menu. Dang it.

Summary
Dean spends all his time being desired by others -- makes his living that way -- but being lusted after isn’t the same thing as being wanted, and he’s never felt wanted. Which is why he ends up answering an email that starts with “Dear sir, I hope this letter doesn’t offend you…” and ends with “You will be compensated generously for your time. Sincerely, Castiel Novak.”
The email says Castiel is looking for “the boyfriend experience,” as they call it in Dean’s profession. He wants a live-in, someone to hold him at night, someone to make him dinner and greet him after a long day of work with a smile, someone to play pretend with.

Summary
Years after Cas’ death, Dean is a retired hunter who’s now mostly known for his bitchin’ pies, quick mechanical work and the patchwork of tattoos that litter his body that tell a mournful story of a life lost to powers greater than him. Having spent his time since losing Cas and defeating Chuck learning to live again, Dean’s perfectly carved out little slice of life is thrown for a loop when the supposedly dead angel and the would-be God show up at his doorstep on the fifth anniversary of Cas’ death, both very much alive. Jack; just a child. Cas; just a man.

Summary
Original prompt: something Russian Bratva related? Like Cas is the prince or whatever of this organization and Dean is forced to marry him because of an arrangement between their families. Only Dean is eighteen and very independent, he doesn't want to be anyone's pet to stay at home. Cas is older. So they end up married but even if Dean is all "no, I don't want this, I don't need anyone, leave me alone, I hate you" he can't resist Cas because he's hot and brilliant. And Cas can't resist Dean because he's just like that and drives him crazy because he's a feisty brat
Or,
The one where Dean can’t believe his fucking life and Cas, in turn, can’t believe his luck.

Summary
"The king sent me to get you," Merlin said, with a tone that implied strongly that he wasn't rolling his eyes where Arthur could see, but just wait until his back was turned. "He said you're to get changed into formal clothes and meet him in the Great Hall, there's a delegation coming from the Summer Court."

Summary
Though they both move in the highest circles of London society, the Duke of Milton and Viscount Winchester have never met-- until the day of their best friends’ wedding. The spark of attraction between them is undeniable, but both are determined bachelors. When a second encounter leads to unexpected consequences, there is only one solution: they must pretend to be betrothed in order to avoid scandal, then quietly break the engagement once some new piece of gossip arises.
In the meantime, they’ll have to play the part convincingly enough to fool all of London into believing in their romance. But somewhere along the way, the line between act and actuality becomes blurred, leaving them both wondering if this was the worst idea they’ve ever had-- or the best.

Summary
Castiel Novak’s one true passion is photography, though he’s still considered just an amateur with dreams of something more.

Summary
A spontaneous scent bond is the stuff of romance novels: an alpha and an omega meet by chance, and they happen to be so compatible that their pheromones are perfectly aligned, drawing them irresistibly together to mate and bond for life.
Neither bookstore owner Dean Winchester nor science fiction novelist Castiel Novak have ever thought it sounded romantic. Your hormones going nuts and tricking you into tying yourself to a complete stranger for the rest of your life? No thanks.
But when Castiel comes to Dean's store for a signing, they feel an inexplicable pull toward each other, and into a powerful bond that neither of them wants. A bond that shouldn't even be possible for two alphas.
At least they agree on one thing: they will not let biology determine their fate.

Summary
Dean comes back from a night of drinking and debauchery to find Castiel not quite himself. He admits to Dean that Heaven has sent every Angel into a breeding cycle to make more Angels to fill to void in Heaven in Chuck's absence, but Cas isn't allowed in Heaven and since he won't chance making a Nephilim with a human woman, they are out of options. When Cas worsens, Dean offers up one last suggestion. Himself. Cas can use him as a mate to survive this Heavenly breeding bullshit, but can Dean keep his feelings out of it when he believes Cas can't see him as anything but his best friend or is this going to ruin everything?
