Summary
‘John Winchester knelt before his four-year old son, heart pounding. "Dean, where's your brother? Where's Sammy?" He asked desperately, grasping the scorched blue baby blanket in his hand as his house burned down behind him. "Who's Sammy?" The tearful child replied in confusion. Gabriel watched, invisible to them, the sleeping infant safe in his arms...’
Dean Winchester is a hell of a hunter, but everyone knows he's a little standoffish, a little cold. Until the night a young, shaggy-haired stranger saves him from a demon attack, leaving behind nothing but an alias, a funny looking blade, and a lot of questions.
Sam knows the only way to save the people he loves is to stay far away from them. He knows in the other timeline he ruined everything. This new life that Gabriel created is so much better for everyone. Even if it means he can never be Sam Winchester, can never be Dean's brother.
As events and memories start to echo across to the new timeline, Sam has to face who he really is and Dean has to choose who he becomes.
Exploring dropped plotlines, saving under-utilized characters, and all the chick flick moments.

Summary
"Why do you not use the powers I gave you?"
"You gave me powers?" The poor joke was received with not a laugh but a flick on the forehead. Sukuna could do much worse, but he'd rather keep the brat moving as they entered the market district. "Well, you know, there just hasn't been a good time to debut them yet… And punching and kicking comes so naturally! I gotta play to my strengths in a fight, right?"
No amount of mock jabs or chops in the air would convince Sukuna to accept such a lousy excuse. The truth was easier to understand, but that did not equate to Sukuna's acceptance of it. A fighter who suddenly sprouts magical aptitude was not something most adventuring parties could overlook. The powers Yuji gained were not natural either, nor would they manifest in the same way as the innate divine spark of his heritage. The chances of harsh judgment, perhaps not from his direct peers but from the rest of the guild, would be high.
However, who were they to cast said judgment?
❤ Warlock Patron Sukuna wants to get Yuji a gift. Unfortunately, he sucks at gift-giving.

At the question (or maybe just Nami, a reprieve from talking to Zoro—who he's still vaguely afraid of) Usopp perks up. “Kind of! I mean, yeah—the big Sun God in the Trench. But also the sea gods themselves, and the missing Moon God—it’s a whole thing,” he says, waving his hands as Nami crosses the deck, book tucked under her arm. Usopp trails off again but she gestures him onward and plops next to Zoro, dangling her feet over the open water, too.
“Go on,” she says.
He stares at them both before letting out a strangled kind of, “Do you actually want to know?”
Zoro and Nami exchange a look. “We have a keen interest in the local wildlife,” Zoro drawls, and Nami snorts out a laugh. The sound startles Usopp, who might be one of the most skittish people Zoro has ever met—second only to Koby, maybe.
Nami elbows Zoro in the side, trying (and failing) to hide her smile as he flips her the middle finger in return. “Local legends, then,” she amends.

Summary

“Uh, Bokuto,” Konoha said, stopping him in the locker room. “You got something on your chest.”
“Hah? Wait, I’m not falling for that, Konoha, nice try,” Koutarou replied, trying to shrug him off.
“No, Bokuto, your soulmark,” Konoha said, grabbing Koutarou’s shoulders and leaning down to look. “Some sap the universe matched you up with. Who is it?”
“Huh?” Koutarou craned his neck to try and read it, but he couldn’t see. “What does it say!?”
“It says…We are the protagonists of the world.”Or: Bokuto's soulmate is in love with him, but he doesn't know who they are yet.
