Summary
“You know,” Martha says, eventually voice weighed down with some emotion Lex won’t care to define, “when he left, I always thought it would be with you.”
The two of them stand shoulder to shoulder on the outskirts of the Kent farm, facing the horizon. It’s nearing dusk, but not quite there yet, and the sun illuminates their backs, casting long shadows over the corn fields.
It would be gauche of Lex to say it, but staring down the dusty one road path leading past the Kent farm that Clark had disappeared down, Lex has always thought so too. “Maybe he wants to come back his own man,” Lex offers instead.
“No,” Martha says, and something in her stands straight and certain. “He’s not coming back.”

Summary
At first, Johnny avoided the dojo. It was in Reseda, far from anywhere Johnny and his mom would be in Encino, far from any friends Johnny had, so it was easy. He had before, of course, gone months, almost years, without ever stepping foot in Reseda. So it was easy.
So it should be easy.
But these days, when he got too close, too near that indelible border separating the right side of the tracks from the wrong, he’d find his wheels pointing back there. It was like the place had a rope around Johnny, pulling him in, keeping him there.
It felt right, returning. Like it was calling him. Like something or someone wanted him to come back.
Because before the end of the summer in 1985, in the late August heat, Johnny had begun to dream.

Summary
Daniel lowers Johnny’s right hand into the bowl of warm water. He slowly massages Johnny’s fingers with his own hand. Red swirls up from Johnny’s hand and drifts through the bowl. Daniel watches it for a second before bringing Johnny’s hand back out. He pats it dry with the towel.
He puts Johnny’s hand down and takes out the first aid kit. The gauze wraps easily around Johnny’s hand. He tapes it off and holds it. It’s wet and a little cold. Johnny’s fingers are calloused and worn. Daniel rubs his fingers gently up and down the back of Johnny’s hand.
“You’re being nice,” Johnny tells him.
“Yeah, well,” Daniel says, and kisses him. “Don’t tell, I guess.”
Or, Johnny and Daniel are seeing each other now. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
“Maybe we should spar,” Johnny says, two beers later, and it’s Daniel’s turn to snort. He wants to, though. Daniel pretty much always wants to, but never does and Johnny pretty much always wants to and always does.
“We’ve been drinking.”
Johnny shrugs. “So you take it up the ass?” Johnny asks.
“Okay,” Daniel says. “Let’s spar.”

world's most high stakes game of ten truths and a lie by amidsizedfrog

Summary
Here is what remains of Dean Winchester’s life: one brother (still living), one hundred fifty-seven thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight empty beer bottles, an unappreciated collection of cassette tapes, a pile of flannels that would very nearly outlive the existence of the species God called humanity, forty-two cents, seventy-three dollars, a car that will remain unused until after the passing of Sam Winchester where it will be then melted down into scrap metal, a weathered headstone, an already fading reputation, and a many-times folded square of a menu for the only restaurant in Lebanon that Dean had never attended but thought frequently of visiting with someone he loved very deeply.
There are, of course, other items, tangible and intangible, that Dean Winchester has left behind, but these are the ten items on which his Heaven is built.
Here is the sum total of Dean Winchester’s Heaven: nine perfectly happy moments and one fantasy, spread across thirty-nine miserable years. The fantasy is something Naomi lets Castiel give Dean. She knows Castiel thinks it will let Dean escape. Castiel is wrong.

Summary
“Nonsense.” Jane turned to Dean. “You are a boy, yes?” Dean nodded. “You want to dance?” Dean looked at Mary, who froze then looked down. Dean shook his head. “Listen,” Jane said. “Dancing will be good for you. You will get all the ladies. You will get big and strong. Like a man.” Dean’s eyes were getting wider and wider, but he didn’t move. Waiting for Mary.
“Jane,” Mary said, stepping in to rescue Dean. “He’s a little shy. Maybe you can convince him tomorrow.”
Or, the 1980s is the peak of the Jazzercise craze. When Dean is four, Mary starts taking him with her.

Summary
“Now," Jackson instructs Dean, mouth against this neck, "I'm going to show you how to do a suicide cradle. Your shoulders are gonna hit that mat at the end of the roll, right,” Jackson thumps the mat to demonstrate, “and you can’t panic. You gotta hold me tight. You got a loose grip, you panic even a little, then it’s gone, right? Cause you’re putting yourself in a position to get pinned. You gotta hold tight and roll him over.”
Or, when Dean Winchester is sixteen, he gets arrested for stealing, sent to a boys home and joins a high school wrestling team. Surprisingly, it's the wrestling team that makes the biggest impression.

Summary
“No,” Dean gave up and said, for the fiftieth or fifteenth time that night, that lifetime, “I mean, I can’t,” and then, after a quick bracing breath, he reached out and plunged Cas’ hand onto his dick.
Cas tilted his head and Dean’s entire body seemed to ache with it. He didn’t move his hand.
“Dean?”
“My dick’s broken,” Dean told him.
Or, if Supernatural had let Dean be impotent for longer than the six days in between episodes, he would’ve solved every single one of his personal problems.

Cas stands there and waits and then, in Dean’s best fantasies, he starts speaking to Cas.

Summary
"I thought, I dunno, that you might be,” Dean paused.
“A lesbian?” Sam suggested at the same time Mary said, “a sodomite?”
“Actually,” Jack piped up into the complete silence that followed Mary’s words, “sodomy refers to both oral and anal sex. Even though it’s used as an outdated term for homosexuality, it doesn’t actually mean homosexual. I learned that from Google,” he told them all proudly.
“Very good, son,” Cas said in a dazed voice.
Or, Dean comes out to Mary. But not without a few major misunderstandings along the way.

When Claire said she was dropping out of college to pursue hunting full time, Dean said, “right,” and left the room.
Or, the cross-generation conversation about formal education, choosing your own path and figuring out what it looks like to find a family.
Or, in other words: "But what I do have is a GED and a give-'em-hell-attitude, and I'll figure it out." - Dean Winchester

Dean Winchester, Cocksucker at Rest by alittleduck (amidsizedfrog), amidsizedfrog

Summary
The worst part of dying and going to heaven at the tender of age forty-one only a week after defeating the one and only God -- outside of dying and going to heaven at the tender age of forty-one only a week after defeating the one and only God -- was that now that Dean had eternity with Cas in his house and his dad up the road, Dean was going to have to have a conversation he’d dedicated the majority of his teens and young adulthood to avoiding. Dean was going to -- Sam, no one needs that many flags -- have to -- Sam, put the decorative soaps away, seriously -- come out.
Needless to say, it does not go over well.

Sam Winchester, Ally At Law by alittleduck (amidsizedfrog), amidsizedfrog
Fandoms: Supernatural
30 Oct 2020

Summary
Sam was pretty sure he could read every single gay friendly guide to coming out or supporting queer family members ever written and literally none of them would even imply that arguing with gay people that they were actually just homophobic constituted as "ally behavior". However, Sam was equally sure that none of those book authors had found themselves accidentally watching their brother get pounded by an Angel of the Lord at 9 am on Tuesday, so Sam was pretty sure he might actually still have the higher ground. Now, if only Jack would stop trying to bond with Dean using gay slurs long enough for Sam to convince everyone of that, he might just be able to cobble together some remnant of sanity or, failing that, dignity.
Or, the one where Sam desperately wants to invent PFLAG but Dean won't stop teaching Jack gay slurs

Summary
When Zuko offered to join them, Katara knew he was up to something. He kept -- looking at her brother. At Sokka. All the time. Why would anyone be looking at Sokka that much unless they were up to something? And Zuko kept blushing! If anyone could make blushing a sinister and dangerous act, it was Zuko. Katara was going to get to the bottom of this -- no matter what.
Or, Katara becomes the aggressively enthusiastic wingman she was always meant to be. Spoilers for the Western Air Temple to Ember Island Players.
