Summary
I’m on my feet before I can even tell what I’m doing. Snow steps back, but he’s too slow and I grab him by the collar of Agatha’s old jumper, holding him in place as I let my wand drop from my sleeve. He stands his ground, only reacting when my wand jabs into his throat, forcing his chin up. Our noses are almost touching, and I couldn’t care less. I’ll spell him until he doesn’t remember his own name.
“Baz– calm down.” Snow’s wings lift, extending around me, and I force myself not to react to it. Just as I force myself to ignore his gaze dropping down from my eyes. I don’t think about the last time we were this close, or that when he kissed me he was trying to calm me down. I hope he doesn’t kiss me.
(Only so that I don’t have to hope he does.)
~~~
Simon and Baz team up after years apart to save Fiona from the wrath of the Coven, while Agatha helps a teenager who has been turned into a werewolf avoid the same fate.

Summary
No one at Watford is Welsh. No one feels lucky. No one feels grateful. No one wears shirts with small holes in the collars. No one marvels at scones and tea with cream and sugar and the never ending supply of cigarettes that flow through the campus like manna from Heaven. No one feels the need, every moment of every day, to prove their place. To prove that they deserve to be here. That they were right for being chosen.
Everyone — even the best of them, even Penny — is like Baz Pitch.***
1961. Watford University has just become co-educational, the world is changing, and autumn is coming to a close. Simon Snow is far from home in Wales, out of place at Watford, and obsessed with a mystery. And the boy in the flat next door.

Summary
It’s with a hesitant grip that Castiel raises his bow again. He knows rather obviously that he’s fully dressed, but he feels naked when he starts playing for the second time. Expression of any type is terrifying in that way, he supposes. Look at me, it says, and see what I am telling you without telling you. The lonely melody creeps from his fingers again.
He finds himself rocking back and forth on the balls of his feet with each broad movement. As though he’s trying to play the violin with his whole body instead of just his hands. It's a strange feeling. I won’t cry, but maybe you could cry for me.
“Cas,” Dean interrupts abruptly between the time that Castiel picks his bow up to end one note and to start the next. “Are you okay?”
or the one where castiel is reunited with his love of fiddle playing and dean wants to be there for him when things get hard

Summary
Sam doesn’t know what to expect when he walks into the courtroom. But of all the possibilities, he would never have imagined this one: his brother, grinning like the devil, in the defendant’s chair.
Or, the one where Sam never goes to Jericho with Dean, but instead pursues law school and a life with Jess. Dean falls in love with a gas station attendant named Castiel.
Six years after they last saw one another, Sam and Dean meet again in a courtroom. A lot can change in six years.

Summary
There’re a lot of opposites in Dean’s life. He lives in darkness and in sunlight, in music and in silence, in peace and in war. Late nights, early mornings. He walks and he drives. He doesn’t much mind it; he likes being somewhere in the middle.
