5(0) First Dates by mika60

Summary
In front of them stands the old-school theater Shane had selected, fully alabaster save for its glittering marquee and large neon letters spelling out AERO. To his relief, the crowd of waiting patrons out front number few on this Monday evening, and everyone present seems too focused on their own plans or cinematic immersion to pay them any mind.
“Shane.” Beside him, an incredulous voice sounds. “A movie?”
“Fuck you. We’re barely drafted at this point, remember? So not crazy rich yet.” Rather than allowing Ilya’s reaction to trigger any doubt, Shane laughs as he reminds them both. “And come on, we’re near Hollywood. It makes total sense for a first date as teenagers.”
Weeks before their wedding, Shane and Ilya return to all the places that mattered - and resurrect all the memories they could’ve shared over the years.

Summary
"Rozy," Brian, the team doctor says, "talk to me, buddy. That puck clipped you pretty good, how’s the pain?"
Ilya blinks. He clenches his jaw against a wave of nausea. He rests his cheek on the ice, and the cold helps a little.
"Bad. Very bad." He swallows. "Is Shane here?"

Summary
Shane Hollander knows he’s not a small guy. Years of hockey and workouts have built up his muscles, and lucky genetics from his father’s side places him just shy of six feet. He’s checked hockey players half a foot and several pounds more than him, knocked Scott Hunter into the ice in the one fight he’s ever actually thrown hands in. But as much as Shane loves the game, the fast movements, passes, and team camaraderie, there were times where he could only feel regret at following the path of athletic fame. He puts on the media smile he practices in the mirror as he brushes his hair each day, uses the bright lights of press conferences to erase his view of the audience, and keeps his answers simple and focused on hockey.
The number of people outside the arena still makes him feel crushed in on all sides, small. Eyes trained on his face, cameras flashing, pens and cell phones being passed into his hands. The itch of it all settles under his skin.

Summary
“Shane,” Hayden says, voice tight.
At once, the hairs on Shane’s arms stand to attention. He sits up, bracing himself.
“What’s happening?”
“You’re getting married to Rose Landry.”
Shane chokes. “What?”
Or: news breaks that Shane Hollander is getting married to Hayden Pike, and then, improbably, to Rose Landry. The only problem? He isn’t.

Summary
"I-I don't know what Vecna showed you but I promise you, no version of Mike can ever hate any version of his Will. I am your Mike, Will. Yours. The Michael Wheeler to your William Byers. The Paladin to your Sorcerer. Mike the Brave who belongs with Will the Wise. If I am the heart of the party you are mine." Mike's voice breaks but he continues,"So please, please fight this. Please remember and come back. Come back to me."
or
A canon fix it where the canon story is Will's Vecna vision that has been used to trap him. So now the team must prepare for the final battle to uncover the secrets that have plagued them for years and Mike must finally come to terms with his feelings for his best friend. A retelling and fix it of sorts on how I think Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 2 and the ending should have gone because a) the plot actually REQUIRED a Byler endgame b) the fans had much better theories than whatever I was made to watch.
Diverges after Season 5 Episode 5

Summary
In 1843 Castiel Milton leaves his life of quiet faith and duty to take up employment as tutor to the young ward of one Mr Dean Winchester, at Blackthorn Hall. Set deep among the Yorkshire moors, Blackthorn is a place of mysteries – a wild place, where pale faces appear at the windows, and mad women laugh in the night. Castiel is drawn to the enigmatic Master of Blackthorn and they form an attachment neither of them expected. But there are secrets hidden behind Blackthorn's stone walls, truths that threaten to destroy their fragile happiness, as they are forced to confront the ghosts of their past. This is a Jane Eyre/SPN fusion AU, written for the Dean/Castiel Big Bang 2012.

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
Just west of the town Porthgwarra, Cornwall, Robert Singer’s farm lies, a mess of ravaged land gaping out onto a fretting sea. Robert's orphaned godson, Dean Winchester, is named sole beneficiary of the farm - and though he hasn't seen his godfather in fifteen years, he travels across the Atlantic with his brother and half brother to care for Singer in his old age and tend to the farm. All of them hope to leave behind the squalor and famine of their old life.
What Dean meets is the bird-infested home of a widowed eccentric, and a new shepherd whom he can neither stand nor see any use for - stoic, rude and conceited, Dean plans to fire the mysterious and wandering Mr Novak the moment he comes into legal possession of the farm. But upon the shepherd's offer to teach him the trade, in anticipation of Dean replacing the man himself, Dean finds in the wild and roaming man a steadiness and certainty his own life has never yet contained. And one day Dean will have to ask, not tell, the shepherd to stay.

Summary
A message from Wilhelm, one that brings his heart rate back up: Everyone is fine. Call me first. DON’T go on the internet
The call connects. “Wille?”
“Hi, sweetheart, I’m almost there. Just wait for me,” Wilhelm says.
“Wait, I don’t… what happened?”
There’s a moment of silence.
“There’s a news story,” Wilhelm says. Simon’s hand tightens on the phone. “They found out August took the video.” Fuck. How? It’s been ten years. The story didn’t die, because the story never dies, it lingers in the cultural consciousness and pops up like a beach ball whenever someone needs an object lesson to support their crusade. Their tape has been cited in tightening online privacy laws, in denying ISPs neutrality on delivering internet access, in debates on influencer families and the ethics of famous children.
Somehow, despite that, he didn't think the truth would get out.

Summary
Dean almost couldn’t believe it when he saw that huddled body swaddled in a tan trenchcoat sitting in the middle of the dungeon floor. Cas was back. After months of searching, digging through the archives to find a way to drag his ass out of the Empty, they had finally done it.
But something was wrong.
This wasn’t the Castiel that smiled up at him with a tearful goodbye after revealing his true happiest moment. This was a wild, snarling beast of a man, warped and twisted, feral thanks to the damage of the Empty. A man who would probably rip out Dean’s throat rather than confess his love.
Even when Dean breaks through that wild exterior, he discovers that Castiel still thinks he’s trapped in the hell that is the Empty. That nothing around him is real.
Dean just has to get through to him.

Summary
Admitting it won’t make Dean any more inconsolable than he already is, and he’ll never feel Cas’ absence any more or any less acutely than he does in this exact moment. “He’s gone,” Dean finally admits, because it seems like the only thing left to say.
When the terrible, swollen vacancy of the room offers no recourse, Sam says, “I know.”
