Charisma Check (DnD is just an excuse for flirting without consequences) by Rogue_Mercury

Summary
Mike randomly includes a mysterious, recurring NPC in one of their summer 1989 campaigns - a male tower guard who appears to be interested in Will. Will is a little apprehensive and confused at first, but Lucas, Dustin, and Max are very much intrigued.
The guard seems to be hiding something crucial for moving the campaign forward, but it turns out Will is the only one who can get him to talk... by charming him.
(Inspired by that one post “Was playing DnD and started flirting with the tavern keeper to get some info and at a certain point I realized I was just dirty talking with my buddy Ben.”)

Summary
Mike had always believed that the moment he’d die, no matter how brutal, he’d feel calm. At peace. A moment of acceptance that this was as far as his story would go. A quiet thing, just for himself, where he’d remember his most precious memories. His most memorable campaigns, sneaking into the movies and sharing popcorn… a blue-and-yellow swingset. He’d seen it in movies, he’d read about it in comics.
Only now that he’d reached this moment, there were so many feelings overflowing, bursting through him like a punch to the gut. It left him completely paralyzed. Horrible fear, grief, pain, and the most intense regret he’d ever felt in his life.
OR: The continuation of the Season 5 Volume 1 Mid-Series Finale starring: Mike's POV, Mike being jealous of Robin, Will dealing with his powers and his newfound confidence, Mike overwhelmed (in the best way) by said newfound confidence, flirty but shy Byler, nerdy flirting, churchgate, and just generally ALL the Byler scenes I wanted to see happen in Vol 2 and 3 (we were robbed).

Summary
“It was El who broke up with you, though. It’s not like it’s your fault she fell out of love,” Will offered. “That was what she said right?”
For a second their eyes met, but Mike quickly glanced away. He’d been doing that more often recently. Will could understand. Holding eye contact lately… ever since they were spending nights lying awake next to each other, sometimes talking, but mostly pretending to sleep… Let’s say it felt harder than usual to hold Mike’s gaze for him as well.
“… Yes,” Mike answered. “Right. She said that,” he added as if to remind himself.
A loud snort from the main hall pierced through their conversation. “Oh, please.” Murray mocked from the couch. Will and Mike both turned their heads to stare at him with pinched expressions.
“What?” Murray exclaimed. “Falling out of love is not the reason El broke up with you.”OR: Mike and Will get Murray’d and deal with the consequences.
(But, of course that alone won’t be enough to completely burn Mike’s intense repression, so we’re going to rely on our good old friend Vecna to give Mike some insight into his own mind…) -

Summary
“Dean, where do you think we are right now?”
“The empty. I came here to rescue you.”
Well, that made a little more sense. At least this darkness was now a tad less concerning.
“Right. Dean, it’s alright. Jack has already pulled me out. Out there in the real world. This,” he gestured around himself. “It’s a dream. And I need you to wake up. You were attacked on a hunt.”
Dean pulled a strange face. Was he making fun of him?
“Yeah, I know it’s a dream.”
He knew?
“I mean, I’ve been having this exact same one for most days of the past three months now,” he contemplated his words for a second. “Although I guess, usually it starts with me waking you up in the empty. So not quite the same dream.”OR: Cas is back from the empty. However, Dean has not made any attempts to talk about what happened just before he got taken. Cas doesn’t push him. On a hunt, Dean gets imprisoned in a dream and Cas enters his mind to wake him. Yet, Dean seems to mistake him for the Cas in that one dream he’s been having quite regularly ever since Cas returned…

Summary
"Very nice," Crowley mumbled, barely audible, but Aziraphale heard him clearly.
"Say it, please," Aziraphale implored, his voice trembling.
"Say what?" Crowley replied, tone cold.
"That you forgive me."
Crowley shifted in his stance, scratching the bridge of his nose. "Right, right – see, I think I'm not quite there yet," he admitted.
Aziraphale's heart sank. "Well… what else can I do? Tell me!" he pleaded.
"I guess," Crowley hesitated and began again, "I suppose, you could…’ He looked away, a short and unnerved sigh escaping his lips. “There is something I'd like back," he settled on.OR: The post-canon apology and make up (and make out - obviously) scene we are going to spend the next few years manifesting.
