Summary
A siren’s song is a destructive tool, able to fell even the strongest of men and drive them over the edge of insanity, craving to hear it just one more time. Yet this very same song gives the siren life; a reason for it to continue to exist in this cruel world. If a siren were to stop singing, they might as well be dead.
So what then is Venti - forced to lay low in Liyue, exhausted deep to the bone, and yearning for a home he left behind - if he refuses to sing?

Summary
Working remotely in a seaside cottage to the rolling ocean waves and the briny winds - a quiet life away from his closest friends and the bustle of Liyue - was not how Xiao envisioned his life going a year ago.
Nor did he expect to be the sudden owner of a top-of-the-line android who may or may not have the advanced cognitive abilities of a human mind stuffed inside an inorganic body.

Summary
Venti should have expected that honoring his former master by taking on a part of his appearance would cause confusion about his true identity amongst all manners of people and creatures who have heard of him. He doesn’t mind being called ‘Barbatos’ so much as he did before he became a full-fledged hunter.
Or so he likes to tell himself, until a particularly long hunt drags out every ounce of self-doubt from the depths of his consciousness and leaves him shaken.
Luckily, Xiao is there to remind him of who he really is.

Summary
In a cruel but inevitable twist of fate, Xiao (infamous amongst Celestia’s cupids for failing to find love for every single one of his hundreds of assignments, mind you) is assigned a mission to find love for an incubus (you know, an entity not usually known for romance) with the caveat that failure will result in his likely demise.
He might as well prepare his angel-shaped coffin now.

Summary
Between unbearable nightmares, dissipating ancient seals, and a budding infatuation with the lonely Yaksha residing in Wangshu Inn, Venti was already not having the best time post-gnosis.
The addition of a Xiao that is slowly losing himself is definitely not helping.
(Or: Xiao reverts back to his original form due to unfortunate circumstance and Venti desperately tries to handle the myriad of emotions that follows.)

Summary
Set days after the events in Shadow (1.16), Dean and Sam are trying to get as far from Chicago as they can when an unexpected and yet familiar arrival throws their world into disarray. Dean didn't ask for a glimpse into his and Sam's future, and he's still not sure he wants one, especially not when his future self starts talking about angels and miracles, like either of those things could possibly exist.
"Okay, let's say you're right. Let's say at some point I'm going to travel into the past, meet myself, and then force myself to take a cross-country road trip with myself so that I can find some dude I refuse to talk about. The hell, Sam? Does any of that make sense?"

Summary
“It frustrates me,” Cas mutters, “how the same sensation can feel sometimes good, and sometimes not.”
Dean’s hand is still rubbing slowly down the length of his spine, like he’s petting the valley between the wings he can’t see. “Well, that’s just par for the course,” Dean rumbles. “Sometimes a body wants touch and sometimes it wants to be left the fuck alone.”
Cas always wants touch. At least from Dean. He doesn’t say so. “It frustrates me how much good and bad I can feel at the same time.”
“Oh, buddy,” Dean says. “Yeah.”
(After the perfect darkness of the Empty, Cas finds the world a little...overwhelming. Dean tries to help.)

Summary
Dean Winchester has everything he was supposed to want: a peaceful home in a small town close to his little brother, and his own veterinary practice, just like his mom hoped. But life in Angel’s Rest isn’t quite what Dean imagined. He’s lonely, and he has no way to relieve the pressures of day-to-day life.
A chance meeting with a rude sheep named Meg leads Dean to Castiel, the owner of Blazing Needles, the town’s independent yarn and craft store. The connection between them is instant, and it seems like Castiel could be everything that Dean needs. He’s just got to work out how to make that leap...
A safe, sane, and consensual tale of comedic animal encounters, little white lies, and waiting for the right (wrong) moment.

Summary
As a kid, Dean’s dreams were pretty straightforward: food, a roof over his head, and maybe – if he really let himself dream big – a family that wouldn’t kick him out the second he became more trouble than he was worth. College? Not on his radar. Suddenly he’s here, though – on a football scholarship and faced with the possibility that this time he might get to stay.
For someone more well-adjusted it would be a dream come true. For Dean it’s a nightmare of desperately keeping up appearances while he’s drowning in other people’s expectations.
At least until a game of Truth or Dare sends him face-first into the arms of Castiel Novak. Senior. Resident (ex-)drug dealer. Obnoxious literature major. Heavily tattooed and everything Dean is trying to leave behind.
Dean needs a favor and Castiel is all too willing to deliver. Unfortunately the offer comes with strings attached that go well beyond the fake relationship that Castiel asks for in return.
