    Summary

    Castiel made dying for Dean Winchester look easy.

    Dean knows how to die for someone. Dean knows how to lay down his life for those he cares about, to say yes in their place, to sacrifice himself in the moment to save the day. To save someone. To save Sam, Mary, John, Jack.

    Cas.

    And for all his knowledge about how to die, he has. While memories of the Pit remain locked in a distant corner of his mind, he’ll never forget the sacrifice he made for Sam, for the good of the world. Willingly. Happily. Dean remembers every death. How each one he welcomed if it made the difference, saved family, people. Dean Winchester would sacrifice himself ten times over for family, or the world, if it meant they would make it through in his stead. Dying for someone was easy to Dean.

    But Dean Winchester didn’t know how to be saved. Not when Sam offered up his life, not when anyone else did. Dean didn’t know how to keep on living so that sacrifice wasn’t all for nothing. How in the hell is he supposed to do that? To accept that?

    He doesn't.

    Summary

    After a minute or so of this person staring at the medicine while Tubbo stared at them, he starts to get a bit bored. So, he clears his throat, and says in a conversational voice, “They sell pretty damn good Tylenol here, don’t they?”

    They jump, clearly taken aback by Tubbo’s appearance. They blink at him once before nodding slowly, clearing their throat.

    “Isn’t, uh, most Tylenol the- the same everywhere?”

    --

    Tubbo is an accidental part of a kind-of family, worn tennis shoes firmly planted on the sidelines as a ticking time clock mocks the day his stolen life will crumble, shoved under the floorboards of his best friend's attic. In the waiting process, he meets a seventeen year old severely lacking in both memory and effective hair dye, who defines himself as the spaces between notebook pages and part-time jobs.

    Like this, Tubbo meets Ranboo, who, despite everything, may be Tubbo's most worthwhile pit stop in his journey to survival yet.

    (Or, a high school AU in which finding home and staying afloat are two tasks you can't shoulder at once, but there are other people who will carry the world with you, if you can muster the bitter task of giving it up first.)

    Summary

    “You’re the guy who shoved me into a locker!”

    Schlatt looks at him incredulously.

    “What?”

    “During freshman orientation! I walked up to you and asked if you knew where the science hallway was.”

    “And then I shoved you into a locker?”

    “No, then you told me that you weren’t going to give directions to a guy who looked like he did math for fun. And then I told you you looked like Abraham Lincoln and said ‘Please, Mr. President, an autograph for the poor?’, and then you shoved me into a locker.”

    ---

    In a haze of y2k delusion, questionable sentences, and maybe a little too much alcohol, high school theatre is a rite of passage into going from an annoying teenager to an annoying adult. Throw in Heathers, relationship drama, longing, and enough "your mom" jokes to annihilate the psyche of anyone near enough to hear, and it's a recipe for disaster.

    In which a bunch of theatre kids slowly grow into theatre adults, and make some questionable choices along the way.

    Summary

    Karl stood at the front of the room. His usually spiral hoodie was replaced with a flowing purple cloak. He lifted the book in his hands.

    “Something’s honked up, guys. This morning, I felt something in the fabric of our world. A rip, I guess.” He flipped open his book. “My powers have been totally out of whack, I’ve been opening uncontrolled portals…”

    "I don't know what's wrong!"

    -

    The universe tears, and Quackity and Wilbur find themselves in another world: a world where everything is happy and healthy. It's... not what they're used to.
