Summary
"What could I want so desperately that would make me sell my soul? What could possibly compel me to surrender the part of myself that makes me who I am: the source of my magic, my self-control, everything?"
Magic has been a part of Sherlock's life for as long as he can remember. Most people view his abilities with suspicion, their own power pale in comparison to what he can do. Jealous rumours dog his footsteps: accusations that he sold his soul in exchange for his talents.
Then John Watson enters his life, all ease and acceptance, and Sherlock will do anything – will pay any price – to ensure nothing brings him to harm.

Summary
Some things shouldn't be aired and should remain a need-to-know basis. Unfortunately for John Watson, nothing is ever just need-to-know. Seeing into the minds of people around you, ruins those need-to-know barriers a bit and brings headaches. When he meets Sherlock Holmes, whose mind is perfect and doesn't give him headaches, he embarks on a friendship that could be more. Hmmm...
A/N: WARNING! ERRORS THAT I NEED TO FIX BUT AM TOO LAZY TO. WHEN I EVENTUALLY RE-WRITE THIS, JOHN WON'T BE A BRIGADIER. AND I ACTUALLY DO KNOW THAT BRITS DON'T CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING. AS IT'S BEEN 2 YEARS, MY WRITING HAS IMPROVED ALONG WITH MY KNOWLEDGE.

Summary
They were holding hands, skin against skin and expecting to reach the end of everything--together. And then...the end didn't come.
In the blink of an eye, Aziraphale and Crowley are rendered human and transported to a new world after God resets the universe, where they apparently live together as a bookseller and professor in a cottage. They don't know how or why they're still alive, but they utilize their unexpected second chance to tell each other everything they hadn't gotten to say in the old world, and have the relationship they always wanted.

Summary
Author Mike Wheeler is renowned for his adventurous coming-of-age stories that are found on the shelves of any Young Adult section of a bookstore - whether it be in a bustling city or the quiet, closed-knit community of Hawkins, Indiana. And if there’s one thing his readers have learned to count on, it’s his signature charm of always writing a happy ending.
But there was just one story he couldn’t finish, no matter where he travelled: the one of the Storyteller and the Mage.
“I know what you’re really doing all this for. It’s time to let her go, kid,” Hopper breathed shakily through the phone. “She would want you to find your happy ending, too.”
Mike clenched his jaw before grunting in agreement wordlessly. He knew Hopper meant well - he knew everyone meant well - but he just couldn’t help himself. No matter how stubborn or idiotic he looked, he just couldn't give up. He would keep searching.
Because he still believed.
An epilogue love letter for the Mileven community who ached for the post-credit scene that Mike and Eleven deserved.
