Helpful, in a Heterodyne Sort of Way by bigasswritingmagnet (thekumquat)
Fandoms: Girl Genius (Webcomic)

Summary
Gil wakes up chained to a chair in Castle Heterodyne.
That's bad.
But he's been brought there to have dinner with the Lady Heterodyne, who is smart and pretty and interesting.
That's good.
He's been brought there by Saturnus Heterodyne, because he's under the impression that Gil is the biological son of Petrus Teuful, and thus an excellent potential suitor for his beloved granddaughter.
That's bad.
But Agatha is wonderful, and Saturnus promises to keep Gil's "true parentage" a secret. If Gil is lucky, he might get out of this with a girlfriend, and without getting fed to one of the castle's deathtraps.
Klaus would just like people to not kidnap his son, thank you very much.

Summary
One day, in spring, he comes to the Inn.
Hob looks up and he’s there, and the relief is blinding. He thinks tu m’as manqué, fuck, because you were missing from me feels more true than I missed you ever has. English missing was ruined for him the moment he learned the French way of it. Longing is meant to be a reflexive verb.
It would be a bad faith translation, even for him. He tells himself this is why he doesn’t say it.
He thinks at last, and that’s a doable one. So he smiles, says, “You’re late.”

Summary
Hob has been around death. Living in London throughout multiple plague outbreaks and fires, as well as making a living soldiering and dabbling in banditry, will do that to you. What he doesn't know is that Death has been around Hob as well. He has no idea that when his Stranger left him that night in 1389 after their first meeting, the woman who came up to him, laid a hand on his shoulder and said, “Good luck, friend,” was Death incarnate.
Hob doesn’t know that he is one of few things in this world that has been Touched by Death and lived. Had he known this, he might not have been as confused as he is when his body slams into the floor of a dim, candle-lit cellar and he finds himself surrounded by hooded figures and a gold circle on the floor. That is all he manages to perceive before everything goes blurry and consciousness slips away from him again.
Here in the Darkness.
*
Roderick Burgess' spell does not summon Death, but someone who has been touched by Death. Hob Gadling ends up in his cellar instead of Dream.

Summary
The first sign is so small, it’s not surprising that he misses it, in hindsight.
After all, who considers it an ability to simply make other people smile by smiling at them?

Hob is the anthropomorphic personification of Hope. It takes him an embarrassingly long time to figure it out.

the gift of hindsight by itsthechocopuff

Summary
What if, when they meet in the twenty-first century, Hob is a little more human, a little slower to forgive, and Dream a little more cognizant of how one should treat centuries-old friends, though no more socially competent?
Or: Dream's admission that Hob is his friend prompts a realisation of what else Dream's longest - and only - friend means to him.
[alt: hob learns of the origins of his immortality and reacts accordingly, six hundred years really is too long to learn a name, Death is the best big sister, and Dream grovels (just a little). and then they kiss and make up, because of course they do.]

Dean's tattoo studio is his baby, and now this ridiculous pastel coffee shop is going to come along and ruin his bad ass aesthetic? No way. Except it's not just any old cafe, and the owner is kind of ridiculously handsome...
Castiel is in over his head, opening the Toe Bean while trying to finish veterinary school. The last thing he needs is the distraction of the gorgeous tattoo artist next door who doesn't even seem to like cats very much....
But the real question is: Will Sam Winchester ever get a moment's peace??

Summary
Marshall Robert Singer has one hand resting on his hip, the other gripping the discarded practice pole. Castiel thinks he looks tired. That said, with how the kaiju have been crawling with increasing frequency out of the Breach with every passing week and decimating the cities lining the Pacific, no one can blame the man for that.
Castiel knows there aren't enough Jaegers or Jaeger pilots left to defend the coastline against the monsters—but with his history, he's not getting back into harness. He's never joining his mind with anyone else's. Not again.
“Congratulations. You boys done dancing yet?” Singer demands, thumping the butt of the staff on the ground with blunt, percussive force. “We got work to do.”
“Work?” Castiel asks, frowning.
“Congratulations?” Dean finishes.
“Well, yeah.” The Marshall of North America's last battle-center looks back and forth between them, clearly questioning their intelligence. His lip curls just slightly under his beard—no doubt at their blank expressions. “You’re obviously Drift-compatible, ya idjits.”
“What?”
“What?”

Summary
Picking up from right after Jack waves goodbye in 15.19, he knows there's a lot of work to do. After everything he's learned and been through in his short life, there's a few people he needs to see as he replaces Chuck's power structure with something that can truly carry on. His mom believed in him, and Castiel believed he could create a paradise. Only Jack's not sure he knows what that would mean. One thing he does know is that it would have to be a world where people were free to choose their own happiness. He can finally make that happen, for all of the people he's called family. Oh, and there are some definite drawbacks to omniscience...

Marie's Guide to Dating a Self-Proclaimed Sociopath by ohmytheon for Baph
Fandoms: Soul Eater
11 Dec 2019

Summary
When Spirit and Stein are suddenly split up and Lord Death assigns Marie as Stein's new Demon Weapon, she's not sure what to think. All she wants to do is graduate and find a boyfriend. Well, she does those things, but a partnership with Franken Stein is by no means normal. No Meister has ever been able to wield her for long, Stein is difficult at best, and no one knows what to think of him - but there's something different about the way they connect with one another, something she can't put a finger on. Whatever the case, she's going to make it through her last year at DWMA, as long as she follows her heart.

Summary
A series of vaguely interconnected one-shots, with chapters based on words/themes suggested by my readers. Contains subtle (and not-so-subtle) Royai and Havolina, Team Mustang bonding, and shameless self-promotion. Ratings for language and the occasional suggestive situation.

Summary
"... one moment, several things are possible, the next moment only one happens, and the rest don't exist. Except that other worlds have sprung into being, on which they did happen." - Lord Asriel, The Golden Compass
In which a Timeline 40 with daemons splits three ways as the events of season 4 come to a close, where the ripple effects of 4.11's timeshare spell create a spinoff from season 1 onward, and where in front of the Seam, Quentin Coldwater's life takes two different turns.
But even when that turn leads to death, the story isn't over yet.
(Basically, daemons + timeline shenanigans + multiple fix-it options.)
Now with art! Quentin and Eliot's first meeting, with daemons!
