    Summary

    Dean's always loved books.

    (OR: You know how Dean Winchester is an autodidact who built an EMF machine out of a Walkman, got his GED just because, knows the difference and nuances in Vonnegut's works, is good at strategy and LARPs, easily references Tolstoy and ancient Greek fables, and has a huge pop culture knowledge base because he soaks up everything like a sponge? Me too. And you know how Supernatural usually wants us to pretend that's not true? Yeah ... how about fuck that?

    A #DeanStudies fic that proposes Dean has an interior life, a brain in his head, and the urge to do better. Oh and, of course, it fixes the finale!)

    Summary

    The man was dead, and it was wrong.

    A lot can happen in a day. A hunt leaves Dean broken, bleeding and clinging to life. In the days that follow, he finds his typical life of mundane monster-hunting turned on its head, as he is trailed by blue lights and radio static. To make matters worse he worries he might be becoming the very thing he's spent his life hunting.

    Castiel is an angel with a mission. He needs to keep Dean alive, a task which is more difficult than he had anticipated. To rub salt in the wound, he might be falling from grace. Angels aren't meant to have human emotions but he is beginning to want things.

    Summary

    Bruce Wayne is not the founder type. He wouldn’t voluntarily join a book club, much less join a league of super-powered vigilantes whom he does not know personally. Hence, why he refuses to entertain this “Justice League.”

     

    It starts with a friendly visit.

    Summary

    Sam and John were fighting again. 

    Dean was no stranger to it, really. He’d just expected them to stop once the vampires had been taken care of. Actually, no, he hadn’t expected that; he’d hoped for it. The logical part of him knew that it would take a lot more stewing and angrily bitten out orders and slamming of doors before they got anywhere near their own special brand of ‘making up.’ It was just like before Stanford, and just like then, it was stressful and riled Dean’s inner Omega up like nothing else. 

    Dean hated feeling like he was going to be left behind.

    (Set after the Winchesters kill the vampires in Dead Man's Blood, S1.)

    Summary

    Caine already knows it's status. He still received all the error reports, despite being unable to fix anything. Seeing it shouldn't make it feel worse, but it somehow still does.

    His beautiful circus - his wonderful creation full of colour and noise and fun - is dull. The brilliant reds and yellows are dim reflections of themselves, and the entire map has a lower saturation than it should. There's large tears in the hitboxes of the walls, floors and ceiling, dropping into out-of-bounds areas that players shouldn't be able to see, let alone access. The gentle hum of background noise he keeps up for the daylight hours is gone, and everything is quiet except from the shuffles from the humans.

    Talking of his humans, they're all there too, tense, standing a decent ways back from him.

    "Oh great." Jax growls, "He was actually down there."

    -------------

    Despite being freed from his box, his performers still haven't reconnected him with the circus's main systems.
    Caine's very being is entangled with the circus, and being cut off from the majority of himself is so disorienting he can barely focus on the glares his cast is giving him.
