AU
Castiel's arranged marriage needs one final religious ceremony. He and his betrothed need to make a terrible sacrifice to atone for their experiences of lust before matrimony. Even though it must be done, he is taken aback by his feelings for the beautiful green-eyed boy chosen as sacrifice.
(This is just twisted porn.)

Summary
“Hello,” Francis replied evenly, meeting his eyes, and I wondered if he still held any bitterness against his old lover or if Charles did the same. Depending on the way you look at it, it was a moment of soap opera-like significance, Francis and his two greatest loves confronting each other at his wedding, and although I was reasonably sure that only Charles knew what happened in my dorm room between Francis and myself that night, I was also sure that Charles knew I was aware of his and Francis’s shared history. A secret history, as are all the histories of boys loving boys, concealed behind closed doors and dark rooms and lies we tell ourselves. How strangely connected were we all, clinging to each other’s history: Henry and Bunny and Camilla, Charles and Francis and me.
An alternate ending to The Secret History.

Summary
“He has a crush on him,” Joe says around a mouthful of carrots and points his fork at him for emphasis. To someone who once has had Joe’s scimitar rammed through his chest, it’s not exactly a terrifying gesture, but it still feels a tad more aggressive than Nicky thinks the situation warrants.
(In which archaeologists make a discovery, Joe is upset, and Nicky trolls historians.)

Summary
A week ago, Dean was pulled out of Hell. Now, he’s apparently woken up in 2018, and the angel that a mere twenty-four hours beforehand had threatened to chuck him back into the pit is sleepily pouring himself coffee and wearing Dean’s second-favourite Zeppelin shirt. It all seems like a perfect happy ending, but with Hell’s scars still so fresh, Dean can’t imagine how he could have possibly gotten there.
At the same time, the Dean who went to sleep in the bunker, right next to Cas, wakes up on Bobby’s couch in 2008. He’s instantly bombarded with questions by a Lilith-obsessed brother and a man who’s been dead for years, and must decide between keeping his finally-perfect life intact, and the lives he could save by re-writing history.
Regardless of these choices, both Deans are trapped in the wrong decade, and their only way back lies with a Castiel still very much under Heaven’s thumb – one who might find the future Dean describes difficult to believe.

Summary
‘So,’ Tommy says around a mouthful of fries, ‘what the fuck is the deal with you and Hargrove?’
And that’s really the goddamn question, isn’t it?
He wants to know Billy. Wants to know why he is the way he is. Wants to be able to figure out what the fuck he’s thinking when he looks at Steve like that, when he touches him like it doesn’t mean shit and like it means everything all at once. Wants to know why he talks so much shit, why he needs to fight, where all that fire comes from. Why he’s so volatile, why he’s such an asshole, how he can be so fucking mean and so fucking sweet in the span of seconds, at the same time, even.

Summary
Something happens that makes Bruce angry. So angry that he doesn't hulk out, but stays calm and proceeds to do something incredibly intelligent, precise, and shit-your-pants-scary.
See, the real person to be afraid of isn't the rampaging Hulk but the super-genius who knows how to control gamma radiation and has learned exactly where the most vulnerable parts in the body are and how long someone can stay alive under intense pain. He knows how to break a person mentally, how to prey upon people's fears and out-psyche them. He also knows that there is no stopping himself once someone close to him has been hurt.
Chapter Two: In which the team finds out that Bruce isn't all together the nice person they thought he was.

Summary
"Ex-preacher. Tried it, was shit at it. Can't save people who don't wanna be saved, as my father used to say, and some days it felt like the whole damn planet wanted nothin’ more than to go to hell in a handbasket. I waited and waited for a sign that never came, and when it got all silent where God used to speak to me, I gave it up." He shrugs, as if to say and now I'm here.
"And your plan B was to load a shotgun, grab a lady friend, and go on a crime spree? Blimey. That's an attitude that'll getcha far in life."

Summary
Did you ever wonder where the Hogwarts disappearing corridors go--or when? When Harry Potter finds himself at Hogwarts in 1927 he never expected that the first person he would run into would be... Draco Malfoy?? 85,000 words. Written for the "hp_cliche" challenge in 2006, run by ReganV. Beta-read by Miraba.
Harry is magically transported back to Hogwarts in 1926, and until they find a way to return him to 1997, he is enrolled as a student. The very first student he meets is a blond Slytherin named Draco Malfoy. A time without Voldemort gives Harry the chance to learn things about magic and himself, but that era is not without certain evils. Mixes mystery, romance, action/adventure, and first-time smut. Nominated for a Multi-faceted Award.
Additional warnings: Corporal punishment, teacher/student, consensual BDSM as well as dubious consent, torture, alcohol consumption.

Summary
“Every year I hope Santa turns out to be evil,” Bucky said, his feet hanging over the back of Nat’s couch. He’d been back in Brooklyn for three hours and it felt like he was recharging from the city. Save him from the Midwest, jesus fuck. “It’s on my bucket list of things I want to sleigh. Haha, slay, get it?”
Nat ignored the pun, probably because Bucky used it almost daily around this time of year, and she’d been the one to do it first.
“I always wanted to kill an evil cyborg,” Nat told him, slicking on nail polish.
