Summary
No one at Watford is Welsh. No one feels lucky. No one feels grateful. No one wears shirts with small holes in the collars. No one marvels at scones and tea with cream and sugar and the never ending supply of cigarettes that flow through the campus like manna from Heaven. No one feels the need, every moment of every day, to prove their place. To prove that they deserve to be here. That they were right for being chosen.
Everyone — even the best of them, even Penny — is like Baz Pitch.***
1961. Watford University has just become co-educational, the world is changing, and autumn is coming to a close. Simon Snow is far from home in Wales, out of place at Watford, and obsessed with a mystery. And the boy in the flat next door.

it's hard to dance with a devil on your back (shake it off) by fleeceframe

Summary
It’s with a hesitant grip that Castiel raises his bow again. He knows rather obviously that he’s fully dressed, but he feels naked when he starts playing for the second time. Expression of any type is terrifying in that way, he supposes. Look at me, it says, and see what I am telling you without telling you. The lonely melody creeps from his fingers again.
He finds himself rocking back and forth on the balls of his feet with each broad movement. As though he’s trying to play the violin with his whole body instead of just his hands. It's a strange feeling. I won’t cry, but maybe you could cry for me.
“Cas,” Dean interrupts abruptly between the time that Castiel picks his bow up to end one note and to start the next. “Are you okay?”
or the one where castiel is reunited with his love of fiddle playing and dean wants to be there for him when things get hard

Summary
There’re a lot of opposites in Dean’s life. He lives in darkness and in sunlight, in music and in silence, in peace and in war. Late nights, early mornings. He walks and he drives. He doesn’t much mind it; he likes being somewhere in the middle.

Summary
Jack's teacher, Amy, struggles to understand the Bunker Family dynamics. How does a kid have three dads, a stepmom, a biological sister raised by her unrelated moms and approximately a trillion questionable aunts and uncles?
This is part of a series of one shots and standalones. You don’t have to have read the first one to read this one (though I did self-indulgently include one reference to a character I made up in the first story, which you can ignore).

Summary
Castiel slips from his chair to kneel at Dean’s feet. He takes Dean’s hands in his, and there on the floor holding something with devotion, he understands Communion. He understands Eucharist. He understands believing in someone so deeply that to shelter a piece of them within yourself is an act of untempered faith, love and prayer and deep-wide trust.
*
Cas comes back. Dean can’t stop touching him.

gorging myself on you, still can't get full (insatiable) by sobsicles

Summary
"Fine, whatever. Love you too, asshole. I hope you enjoy your walk home with your stupid, grainy bread. Taking Nature's Own a little too much to heart, but sure," Dean tells him, flashing him a sarcastic smile and swiveling around in the aisle to march away. He throws out something over his shoulder, careless and barbed. "I'm not paying for that shitty cardboard."
Dean's three aisles over when he realizes what, precisely, he said. Thankfully, when he comes to this conclusion, he's holding a box of poptarts, so when he fumbles and drops them to the floor, it's not a huge mess. He stares down at the slightly dented box of Brown Sugar Poptarts, and he has a very swift and very unshakeable crisis right there and then.
Love you too, asshole.
No, no, no. Why would he say that? Why would he do that? In the middle of the goddamn grocery store while arguing about bread? That's not—that can't be how it happens. That can't be.

Summary
There's something weird about Beacon Hills that Stiles can't quite put his finger on. The way everyone in town knows his name the day he arrives. The way they insist the melancholic howling that echoes through the forest every night is just a dog. The way his dad denies getting a dog, even though Stiles comes home to find one sprawled across his bed, some big black thing whose eyes gleam red in the right light. The way that massive oak tree out in the woods vibrates under his touch, pulsing with sickly life.
There's something weird going on in this town, and Stiles is determined to get to the bottom of it.

Summary
Baz Pitch used to fight demons. Now he fights teenagers. Ten years after killing the Humdrum, saving the day, driving into the sunset with Simon and arguing about New Wave, Baz still loves vinyl, sweet coffee, David Bowie (and sometimes Simon Snow). But now he hates his family, tomato plants, lesbian crises, being asked when he's getting married, and Simon Snow’s dad music. Part two of the Rebelverse. Still crazy after all these years.

Summary
Baz Pitch loves, in no particular order; David Bowie, punk music, the feel of old vinyl, the smell of coffee (but not the taste), classic books, magic, David Byrne, the fact that he was raised by his aunt Fiona, and maybe, sometimes, Simon Snow.
