Summary
“I dunno, man, I don’t really think of it like that. Time wasn’t like that in the cage. And, especially after Cas took a lot of it, the whole thing feels, you know, apart,” Sam says.
And it’s true. Like his time in the cage is part of a different life, one mostly remembered but only half-felt. Just as distant as his days at Stanford. Just as distant as his days with Ruby. Maybe he’s just too good at extracting the pieces of his history that are painful. Maybe Dean is so stuck in his pain because he’s just a bit more human than Sam is.
“That’s good. That’s really good, Sammy.”
_____Chuck's been defeated. Jack is gone. Cas is dead. Sam is ready to build a new life but Dean's grief threatens to consume him entirely. Sam tries to accept that he can have happiness and a life, even if most of his focus is on how his brother is drowning in pain. Dean's grieving process is violent and dangerous, but ultimately his love for his angel may pull him through.
OR
Dean’s loved ones watch as he monumentally self-destructs while grieving his angel. There will be eventual happiness.

Summary
"It's the oldest sin, brought forth from the first bonds humans formed. Here is where monsters are born," Castiel knew that much at the very least.
"First came love, then came grief, then came monsters."
_____Waking from death and discovering he's now a demon, Dean follows Crowley to explore his new state of being. Never one to accept the plans laid out by heaven and hell, Dean finally has the power to remake the world to his liking, but what sort of world does a demonic Dean Winchester desire? And how far will Sam and Castiel go to save him?
This is my remastered Season 10 rewrite! Previously posted as three separate works, they've been consolidated and expanded. There's much background pining and some eventual emotional payoff but ultimately this is an exploration of what a truly demonic Dean would have wanted and how he'd get it; what Sam would have become if his grief, anger, and desperation had time to grow; and what Castiel would do as he watched the Winchester brothers come apart at the seams. There's no happy ending, just more consequences.

Summary
Rick is on the road, desperate and nearing the end of his sanity. When he inexplicably stumbles into a world without walkers, he learns there may be a supernatural explanation for what has happened in his world.
Sam and Dean are working a case when a feral, crazed man appears in their midst. They'd like to help him, but the angels are more interested in sending him back than helping to make things right.
Set mid-season 5 for TWD, when Rick's group is on the road before Aaron makes contact, and mid-season 6 for Supernatural, just prior to The French Mistake. I had a fun thought that maybe Castiel did some really terrible things to try to win his civil war that we were never privy to. Just a horrifying what-if I came up with.

Summary
“Oh, well, it sounds really interesting,” Sam decided to lay it on thick. He did his half-smile, eye-bat, “I thought maybe you could tell me more about it? The dean is having a musical themed dance tonight, maybe I could meet you after class, walk over together?”
She looked at him mournfully, touched his face and actually said, “I’m sorry, Sam. You’re crazy, crazy hot, but I just had my heart broken by Subway, a Corpohumanoid student, and I’m just not ready for anything else yet.”
She stepped into her class as Sam whispered, “What the fuck??”
OR
Sam has a broken foot and is stuck doing research in some small Colorado suburb while Dean tracks Dick Roman. But the local community college happens to be the single strangest place he's ever been. Sam is determined to find out what dark secrets exist within Greendale Community College.
This crossover takes place mid/late Season 3 of Community and mid/late season 7 of Supernatural. Just some general silliness.

Summary
Cas is gone. Dead. Dean doesn't want to think about that. He doesn't want to think about anything really. He wants to let go. But Dean is one of those people that doesn't know how to do that, especially when it comes to family. His Family. His Cas. Because damn it, damn the fucking world and Chuck and all of it, the angel was HIS. And when he, oh when Dean really wants something, he's going to burn his life down before letting it go. Or letting someone take that "something" away from him.

Summary
Castiel is alone after the events of The Song Remains the Same, left to make his own way back to the present from 1978. But the angel is playing wounded, and his power over time is not as precise as it once was. It is all he can do to cling to the one thread that will keep him from getting lost: Dean Winchester's timeline. He just ends up seeing more of it than he ever expected to, and it affects him in ways he never thought possible.

The one where I fucking screamed because someone else finally cares about Dean’s encounter with Famine as much as I did and this is a PERFECT head canon for that. 100/10

Summary
The Mark of Cain turns Dean into a demon once more. Dean is adamant that this time he's found a way to keep the mark under control but it's clear to Castiel that Dean needs help if he's going to fight the mark's influence until they can find a way to get rid of it. More than anything Castiel wants to save him, but if anyone needs to be saved it's Castiel as he tries to navigate where Dean ends and the Mark of Cain begins.

Summary
This started out as me making a Faith/Dean fanmix. Then I realized that the mix had a chronology to it based on my fanon, so I decided to write a series of drabbles to explain that. Now what we have is around 24,000 words spanning about 15 years of narrative time paired with nineteen songs.
She’s fucking up his sense of up and down, with her preternatural strength and her lack of tact and the way it seems like she looks right through him sometimes. But Dean doesn’t care too much about that. Because under the care of Faith’s lapping tongue and writhing body, he feels something that isn’t death.
On the surface, Faith seems like the kind of girl he should have met in a pool hall—somewhere sweaty, smoky and beer-soaked—instead of by these crumbling cliffs, kicking the shit out of the demon he came out here to meet, him with Sam in tow and guns blazing hot. Because in that case there would have just been anonymous sex and a complete lack of unfolding truths—it would have been so normal.
The prologue takes place mid-S1 SPN and the rest of the story picks up a few months after the events of “Devil’s Trap,” making this a combination Buffyverse future!fic and post-S1 SPN AU.
