in the dark, longing for you by mad_writes

Summary
“I thought you were hungry.”
“I am.” Zemo can feel Bucky’s lips curl into a smirk against his neck, and the both of them share a soft laugh in the moment.
Zemo reaches to turn off the stove for the soup before sliding his hands up his chest and shoulders, gently starting to push Bucky back. “Come on then.”
.
Zemo's longing for Bucky begins to make an appearance in his dreams; what is better than domesticity and a little intimacy to spice things up? He's tired of reading the same books.

Summary
“James.” Zemo speaks quietly, hesitant. “We’re here now. You have the gun. It’s over – this is how it was always going to end, you know that.”
“I didn’t want it to end this way.” Something flashes in his eyes, still duller than their usual steely blue, and Zemo’s breath catches. “You forced this on me.”
.
Sitting in the Raft alone gives one Helmut Zemo a lot of time to think. With time – and a lot of sleepless nights – he comes to the startling realization that it’s simple, really : he’s in love.

Summary
“What the hell is that?” Bucky watches, skeptical, waiting for Zemo to reply. He doesn’t; simply shakes out his coat a little bit and scrapes his boots against the rug, hanging his coat at the door. Beside him is a two foot tall ball of golden fur, mouth open and panting.
Zemo turns to look at Bucky, then Sam, eyes narrowed. “A dog, James. I thought you knew what those were.”
.
Or, where Zemo shows up to the suite with a dog, and Bucky isn't sure how to feel.

Summary
"The Baron" is a household name in the high end fashion industry, his leading characteristic being the purple mask which hides his identity. Helmut Zemo is the man behind the mask, and he is looking for his next burst of inspiration. He comes to New York, ending up in Brooklyn.
Undercover, he goes to a small animal shelter in a quieter area of Brooklyn to get a look at some of the dogs. There, he finds an adorable Dalmatian and a volunteer with a similar gorgeous physique. There may be more to this trip than Zemo was intending, but will it lead to his next fashion hit or perhaps something greater?

Summary
“Redemption, Bucky, can be received in several ways.” His words come out tight, “I wish to do simply… whatever you would like. If that will do.”
Bucky lets go of Zemo’s throat, slowly, fingertips brushing against the skin there before he brings it back to his side. The two are turned towards each other now--Bucky more so--Zemo’s head still lying against the back of the couch, breathing heavily. “What do you mean?”
“Must I spell it out for you?”
.
Or, where Bucky and Zemo find themselves in compromising positions to gain redemption from each other.

Summary
Sam Winchester was in trouble. His job with a popular home improvement network was in jeopardy unless he could come up with a new show that would boost ratings. He needed new talent that would invite more viewers. Enter his brother, Dean, a lewd, loud carpenter, who looked like an underwear model and Castiel Novak, a hot-headed interior decorator that catered to the rich .
The two men were to take a rundown home and turn it into a showplace. At the end of each season, the house would be given away in a big contest. But, they had to finish it first, without killing each other in the process.
The first day on set sparks flew, but not the good kind. The two men hated each other. Sam just knew they’d have to pull the show after its pilot episode aired and he’d be back to making commercials about genital herpes. But the viewers loved it. The emails and tweets about the two men required the network to hire more people just to keep up with them. The snarky comments, the glaring looks and the sexual tension shot the show to the Number One position.
Then one night after filming, the months of tension exploded into hot, angry sex. Something changed between the two men and the viewers couldn’t stop tweeting about it.- Language:

Summary
As a grease monkey turned college freshman, Dean's constantly three seconds away from being stressed out of his mind. It hardly helps that he's finally figuring out his sexuality in his thirties.
What might help with that stress is a little phone number (and a big credit card bill). If he can't figure out how to be bisexual in person, he can at least give it a go over the phone, right?
(It's probably a bad idea, but he really can't help himself.)

Summary
There is no such thing as a guarantee when it comes to war.
The outcome's known. Why try?
Return your rusty sword to battered sheath,
bow your head and bend your stubborn knee. Why
take the field when you cannot win the war?
But Harry -- he went down to Agincourt.

Summary
When you perform a spell to defeat God himself, there’s bound to be side effects — such as every version of Team Free Will getting zapped to an alternate universe.
The former residents of the Endverse find themselves in an underground bunker full of the kinds of food they haven’t seen in years and clothes that magically fit them. As Dean adjusts to life in a world where Croatoan never got out of control, he faces some tough questions: Can he forgive Sam for saying yes to Lucifer? And is his relationship with Cas really beyond saving?
The residents of the bunker, meanwhile, wake up as employees of HunterCorp, whose CEO is one John Winchester. Being around people Dean lost years ago is no picnic, and it’s changing the dynamic of his relationship with Cas in ways he never expected. But is the change meant to last, or will they fall back into old patterns when they return to their own universe?
