Summary
When Sam gets his life together and fucks off to live in a hippy-dippy self-sustainable commune in Costa Rica, Dean never considers following suit. That life isn’t for him. But after years of being away from his brother and withering his own life away at his monotonous, soul-sucking job, Dean finds himself caving to Sammy’s pleas, accepting a job offer he can’t refuse, and boarding a plane to the exotic island.
It’s nothing like Dean could have ever imagined, full of vibrant life and color, foods he’s never heard of, and animals he’s never seen. It’s a tropical paradise… a paradise that becomes a hell of a lot more interesting when a dark haired, blue-eyed commune native catches his eye. After a rather upsetting first meeting with the grumpy stranger, Dean must continue to navigate life on the island, his new career as the school’s music teacher, and the ultimate feat of dislodging his foot from his very big mouth.
With a community of characters as familiar as his brother and as wild as a capuchin monkey with a flair for mischief, Dean will discover that maybe it wasn’t just Sam’s life that needed a reboot.
Still, the question remains; will Dean be able to win over Casa Nova’s most reclusive resident?

Summary
Dean Winchester is thirty, flirty, and thriving, or at least that's how his best friend Charlie describes him. Either way Dean feels pretty good about his life. He has a decent job, a nice house, and a great group of friends and family. Sure his brother's been living hundreds of miles away to attend law school and an internship, and yeah maybe he wasn't working his dream job, and so, okay, he spent most nights zoning out in front of the tv alone but that was fine. Dean was fine. Until he gets a call about a daughter he didn't know existed and suddenly Dean's quiet (boring) life is turned upside down.
Castiel Novak is a photographer whose passion lies in capturing the beauty of nature. However to pay the bills he works part time at the mall doing portrait photography. Sure it might not be as artistic as he'd like and his odd hours make for a dull social life but he's still doing what he loves. He especially enjoys doing the kids photos and over the last couple of years he's built a bit of a reputation for always getting the shot no matter how unruly or stubborn a child might be. So when a handsome father brings in his grumpy little girl for pictures Castiel thinks it will be just another photo shoot.
He's wrong.

Summary
Life is nothing but a series of processes. We rise, we work, we function within the walls we’ve designed for ourselves. Dean Winchester does not deviate from this system. Heavily tattooed and a certified genius; Dean necessitates control. Relationships are a no-go. Too messy, unpredictable. And yeah, he knows having casual sex with his best friend, roommate, and business partner is a dumbass move. But Cas’ suggestion is impossible to resist.
What Dean doesn’t expect and couldn’t possibly predict is the unique way Cas manages to shut down his mile-a-minute mind, giving him a level of inner peace he’d thought to be unattainable.
What starts out of convenience morphs into a dynamic emotional slide neither of them were prepared for, forcing them to decide what they’re willing to risk.

Dream with Eyes Open by KrisRix

Summary
Simon is worried about what Baz might get up to all summer long without Simon there to keep an eye on him.
Penny says, “You wage psychological warfare on yourself so much, Baz doesn’t have to plot anything. You do all the work for him.”
Which is ridiculous.
All Simon wants is to plague Baz with thoughts of him, give Baz a taste of his own medicine.
All Simon wants is to be on Baz's mind so much, he can’t focus. Can’t work on coming up with a spell to end Simon. Can’t plot a political coup.
All Simon wants is for Baz to not get any fucking reprieve from Simon all summer.
Is that too much to ask?
But psychological warfare is a tricky thing...
Merlin knows Simon's summers in the care home are awful as is. This year is made worse than usual thanks to the after-effects of a spell gone awry.
The days are so hard, but the nights...?
Well, the nights are something else entirely.- Language:

Summary
It’s another slow day at the coffee shop. Penny’s here, but she’s got her nose in her books. It’s been hard to keep busy, keep my mind occupied. And when I’m not occupied, I start to think....
I hear the bell on the door jingle, and I call out, “Welcome!” When I jump to my feet, I see Baz striding towards me. My face does that awful thing where I turn into a splotchy tomato, I can feel it.
Fuck—
I duck my head and start punching in his order. “Large pumpkin mocha breve?”
Baz slides up to the till and brandishes his credit card in one fluid motion. “What if I wanted something different today?”Or: a remix of the one where Baz is an artist and Simon is his muse.

Summary
Baz’s last exam is Friday morning. I’m pretty fucking confident he spells his car with a make way for the king because he’s at my door by noon, bags already in the boot. He’s so eager to get going, he doesn’t kiss me hello—that’s a thing we do properly now, and I’m a bit disappointed he’s too focused on snatching up my bag to bother with it.
Which makes me smile, actually. Being huffy with him for not kissing me is a pretty good spot to be in.
Baz is drilling me about what I’ve packed (“Do you have the reservation? Your mobile charger? Wallet? Clothes that aren’t awful trackie bottoms? Swimsuit? Please tell me you brought enough clean pants, Snow—”), so I pin him against the car once he’s squirrelled away my bag. His mouth falls open in surprise.
“You’re fretting,” I tell him. “Shut up and kiss me.”
Baz purses his lips, suppressing a smile. “If you insist.”
We kiss until I feel his tension ease off. Makes me feel better, too.
Then we’re on our way.Series

Summary
Alec loves his job. He’s been touring since he was sixteen. He’s stayed in dozens of countries over the years, learned enough of their languages to get a beer in his hand and a man in his bed. The road is as much his home as the townhouse on the Upper West Side. He’s as comfortable in cheap hotel rooms with scratchy linens and glaring lights as he is in his penthouse that overlooks Central Park with its silk sheets and the constant hum of the city that never sleeps.
Alec works hard and that hard work has paid off. He just finished his latest sold-out world tour and by all rights, he should be on top of the world. But the mental pressure of celebrity is getting to Alec and he doesn't trust his footing. He's stuck where most people would kill to be and he just wants to know what his next move should be.
Enter Magnus Bane. A history professor at Columbia University, Magnus is content with his friends, his classes, and the occasional warm body in his bed. But he's been feeling stagnant, looking for the next chapter in his life to begin. If only he knew what Alec would bring his way.

Summary
Twenty-three years of head-over-heels, devastating devotion and love, love, love for the man with bright eyes and dark hair. Fourteen years of friends, best friends, of always together. One moment of rejection.
Nine years of apart. Nine years of heartbreak, nine years of continents away, of not speaking, of no acknowledgement, no interaction, no closure, no peace. No happiness. Nine years of Dean’s life entering motions, going through them, constant, cold and mechanic, like clockwork. Nine years of alone.
God. Nine years. A lot has changed. And yet Dean still loves Cas just the same. Even if his heart hurts all kinds of different.
On the day of Jimmy Novak's funeral, Dean sees Cas for the first time in nine years. He adored Castiel the moment he met him, at only four years old. But after fourteen years of friendship destroyed by one moment of heartbreak, and after nine years of silence, Dean is convinced Cas will want nothing to do with him. And it's killing him.

Summary
Castiel lives in a world of colour and sound, endlessly intertwined like two parts of a whole.
As a radio broadcasting student, he runs a small segment on their campus radio program in the evening - and with help from his synaesthesia - tries to make the program more interesting by bringing in a little bit of colour.
Castiel views his synaesthesia as both a gift and a curse, but after a chance encounter with a mysterious, stunning, golden-green voice, he's starting to think that it's more of the former.- Language:
