Summary
“Do I have a choice?”
“There’s always a choice.”
Hawks snorts. There’s the wrong choice, and then there’s the right one. He can make everything he’s done so far mean something, or he can throw it all away. If it comes out he’s been a double agent all along the League will fold in on itself and regroup, even less trusting than before. They won’t get an opportunity like this again.
*
When pictures surface of Hawks meeting with Dabi, he has to make a decision. Sacrifice his cover, or sacrifice his career.
It's not much of a choice.

Summary
What does it mean to be irredeemable? Is anyone ever truly beyond redemption? And if so, how far does one have to go to be completely undeserving of forgiveness? And what's the deal with remorse? Does it mean anything if you wait until your deathbed to express it? Does it mean anything if someone has to die before you feel it?
Jack doesn't want to be a vengeful god. He wants to be the kind of god that gives people chances and lets them make their own choices. He wants his family to have everything they've ever deserved and never been given. And he wants people to have the full will to make their own choices. So, with all of that in mind, he brings back everyone he feels could be said to have died for Chuck's story- with Chuck's meddling removed... for example, John and Mary, without the cupid's arrows.
Without the all-consuming devotion to Mary that pushed him to be a hunter and without Chuck's influences pushing him to prioritize his revenge over everything, John is left wrongfooted and reeling, unsure of who he is or who his sons have become since he died. What he does know is this: he doesn't get to leave the work unfinished this time. If he truly wants to do better as a father, he'll have to do the work.

Summary
Dean just wanted to ask out the cute guy he saw in a donut shop. That was it. He didn't ask for the guy's siblings to descend out of the woodworks and start judging him. He just wanted a date.
Dean doesn't even know if this Castiel is worth the amount of effort he's putting into just being able to get him on that date. But he knows he wants to find out-- he just has to get through Castiel's brothers and sisters to do it.

Summary
"This is the house that built me and I'm gonna burn it down." - Clementine von Radics, 'Courtney Love Prays to Oregon'.
If her husband ever hit her, Joanna would be sure to hit back. And then that night she’d welcome him between her legs, and slit his throat while he was at it. A little blood in the marriage bed is a natural thing, a maester once told Mother, as her complaints of the king’s roughness, his insistence on having her again so soon after the squirming, whining birth of Myrcella, were put to rest. Joanna was listening at the door. Men are brutal creatures, and women soft and delicate. It is unfortunate, but should be expected. Joanna still cries when she gets a cut, just softly and prettily, easily wiped away and forgotten. She does not cry at the sight of others’ blood. That is just the way of a lion, of any beast. They whine when they are hurt, but it does not mean they lose their appetite for meat.

Summary
The gown Viserra wore to meet the Khal was lavender silk, to bring out her lilac eyes. It felt too smooth, too slippery against her skin. Once, she had been a pretty little girl, doll-like and frail, with a shy, gap-toothed smile. But she was a woman grown now, two-and-twenty, and over a decade of running and hiding and fighting for every scrap of bread, respect, and recognition had worn her hard and bare.
(Fourteen years after the Usurper's dogs destroyed her family and sent them fleeing into exile in Essos, Viserra Targaryen barters what little she has left on a desperate alliance with the Dothraki, determined to bring herself and her sister Daenerys home)

Summary
"Oh, I'm just a girl, my apologies / What I've become is so burdensome / Oh, I'm just a girl, lucky me / Twiddle-dum, there's no comparison."
Really, she felt a distant curiosity for this creature who’d sired her, and she did reply to most of his letters, full of questions about the war he was waging for a crown her mother said was worth naught but scorched crabs and sunken ships. He never replied long enough to strike up a correspondence, but he sent suitably lavish gifts for her namedays. Never a dragon egg, though, no matter how much she begged for one.
Later, her mother said, begrudgingly, that Daemon had in fact fought for his daughter to be permitted an egg, just as his brother the King’s children all had, but that was refused, largely through the influence of Ser Otto the Lord Hand, who said that the Iron Throne could not afford to let a third house gain the might of dragons. The Velaryons were quite enough of a bother already, apparently.

Summary
But, two can play at that game. What she’s doing can’t be called healing, no, it’s closer to necromancy, the kind of thing that even in this wild and woolly world gets frowns and hushed whispers from respectable folk. But Asteria wants to be respected, not respectable, and her family know how to play with things that others won’t touch.
Transference of life has been her craft from the day she first held a whittling knife; give it the right form, the right intent, and the right timber to take it, and the land itself will fill in the blanks. There’s far more power there than most people realise, a weight to playing god with wood, and she knows far too well that the would-have-been murderer knows that too.
An eye for a rib; that's what it takes.

Summary
Have you ever said something, and known, deep in the pit of your stomach, before anybody could even react, that you shouldn't have said it? That horrible, wretched feeling that makes you instantly want to take the words back?
Crowley did not have that feeling, and so plunged on.
“I didn’t even know your roots were that dark,” he said. “You could just miracle them, you know.”

Summary
After all, Ed reasons, if Stede wanted to sleep in the same bed with him again, he would have asked, wouldn’t he have—
Not that Ed asked, but— Stede isn’t like Ed. Right? He would’ve asked.
—Right?
“Maybe,” Stede continues, while Ed’s mind is spinning, “I can’t sleep because I got very, very used to sleeping with another person in here with me, and it’s not so easy without them, anymore.”
Ah, Ed thinks, before he says out loud, “Ah,” where it comes out significantly more strangled-sounding.

“I want you!” Crowley shouts back. “I’ve wanted you for a long fucking time, angel, and don’t try to pretend you don’t know that. I want you, and I want you to make up your fucking mind. I am done with hanging around waiting for you to decide.”
Crowley has had enough.

Summary
It occurs to Crowley that Aziraphale has just said something to him, and also that he’s gone slightly cross-eyed. “Hng,” he says intelligently, and then, mentally shaking himself, “What?”
“Did you want something, Anthony?” Aziraphale repeats.
“What?” Crowley says again, bewildered, and looks over his shoulder, as if there might be someone called Anthony standing there.

Summary
It's like having a curtain pulled back on something he wasn't expecting to see. A surprise punch-and-judy at an up-scale restaurant, a lobster thermidor when he's ordered an ale.
Crowley's gleefully trying to wrap his head around the fact that Aziraphale is speaking Polari. Because of course he is.
Or: The Patron Saint of London's LGBT Community is real, and he lives in Soho.

he couldn’t say precisely what it was that changed. whether it was that woman he saw on the lid, skin the same deep brown as his, wearing her gold-clasped twists like a crown; or seeing wylan with marya, thinking about what he could remember about his ma, of sitting between her knees while she worked out the kinks in his hair; or maybe it was just being happy and settled and unhurried—letting wylan poke around his childhood and pull out the things that mattered.
whatever it was, jesper had decided to grow out his hair.

It was a story they’d told each other often, over too much kvas. A running joke between them, what they would do if they ever decided to leave it all behind.
She’d never dreamed they actually would.

Summary
“It’s not my fault you’re dating some loser with a dumb kink.”
Of all sentences to spark inspiration, it had to be that one. The old adage said invention–research, science, the pursuit of knowledge–was born of necessity. Whoever first penned that line certainly hadn’t taken a reformed terrorist throwing popcorn at the TV into account.
“If you wanna bother him later, bother him later, but I don’t have a clue where the bastard’s gone. Hiding, probably,” the Goblin snickered. “But if you want your answer, that’s my best guess. He wasn’t mad at you for cooking the other day, he just didn’t want you to see how goddamn red he gets when you reach for stuff with those arms of yours.”
