    Summary

    In the summer between fourth and fifth grade, Robin Buckley, who had a pretty dramatic falling out with her best friend in February and had been lonely since, and who thought the classes she was taking were all for stupid babies anyway, decided that between being the bored kid known for having lost her only friend and being the brainy kid no one knew she’d pick the second any day. She asked her mother, and the elementary school principle, and the middle school principle if she could skip fifth grade. They looked over all her grades, and there was a test, and a lot of conversations between the teachers and parents to ask if she was ready, but ultimately they let her do it. Robin Buckley started sixth grade at the humble age of ten and three quarters years old.

    -

    Or, Robin Buckley skips a grade and becomes friends with Steve well before the start of canon. How does Robin being part of his closest friend group effect the events of November of 1983, and beyond?

    Summary

    “I can't help you,” Missouri tells Sam, reaching over to calm his shaking hands. She squeezes them gently, and the kindness seems achingly out of place here in the ruins of what might have been his childhood. “But I know who can. Some friends of your mother's.”

    My mom had friends? Sam almost asks before realizing how stupid it would sound. Of course Mary Winchester had friends. She probably had a best friend and another friend she only saw once a year but kept up with over the phone and another friend she went bowling with on Saturdays and another friend who she only hung out with because it was polite. Mary Winchester had friends and hobbies and interests because Mary Winchester used to be a person, not a martyr to avenge or a stick to beat her children with or a ghost who told him she was sorry.

    “You and Dean should see them,” Missouri says thoughtfully, squeezing Sam’s fingers one more time before letting go. “You’re Mary’s boys. That should count for something, even if you’re John’s, too.”

    (In which Castiel was always a rebel, Mary was never meant to be the perfect wife, and five almost-orphans must pick up the pieces before all Hell breaks loose.)

    Summary

    But Johnny couldn’t avoid the sight of it now.

     

    Three words, marked darkly on his wrist. His soulmark. The words that connected him eternally to his soulmate, his future, the one he’d be bonded to until death.

     

    Now we’re even.

     

    (Or: The Karate Kid, if Johnny and Daniel really were the soulmates we all know they are.)

    Summary

    Zuko glares. "Who says I'm learning airbending?"

    "You have to, if you want to master all four elements and become the Avatar," the boy replies, matter-of-factly.

    With a groan, Zuko stands, clenching his fists angrily. "I'm not going to do Avatar training! I shouldn't even be the Avatar!"

    The boy shakes his head, getting to his feet. His clothes aren't like anything Zuko's ever seen before. "You should."

    "How do you know?"

    "Because you are!”
