Summary
A handsome prince. A moonlit lake. A beautiful pr-... another handsome prince, rather (this is an open minded story, after all) cursed to spend each day as a swan until true love will set him free. A tale as old as time. A romance for the ages.
Or that’s the idea, but when Prince Dean of Lawrence is the would-be rescuer, fairy-tales go off the rails more times than not.

Summary
It took long enough for Michael to agree to this date, so Castiel goes all out on the perfect homemade meal. The table looks great, quite romantic, except for the way Castiel is now standing on it, armed with a broom and desperately phoning around for a pest control expert to come help him with an unexpected problem of the fuzzy variety.

Summary
Dean, in a snit, throws himself on the couch and the couch says “Hey!”
That’s how it starts.
Or maybe it started a couple of months ago, when a Novak stray wandered into camp with a head full of strange ideas. But Alpha John Winchester saw potential there, a glimmer of something like hope… he let the omega stay. If that hadn’t happened, the couch wouldn’t have said “Hey!”
Though of course none of this would have happened if a bunch of loons hadn’t released the genoforming virus upon mankind a century ago, turning the survivors into this strange new species with an aberrant biology-...
… You know what? Let’s keep it simple and start with the couch.

Summary
That title is a lie, there’s nothing romantic or fantastical about prince Castiel's life whatsoever. Married off to king Dean for political reasons, his role is to manage the castle and help raise prince Ben, the son of Dean’s first wife. Lisa was the one Dean truly loved, her loss years ago bereaved the entire kingdom. Castiel is a pale replacement nobody cares for much unless they have a problem or something to complain about. Castiel, for his part... well, it was stupid to fall in love with his husband, but he’s always been a dunce and an embarrassment according to Michael. Why change now.
Then Dean’s sister by marriage, Queen Eileen, decides to show Castiel what his true place in the castle is…
… and maybe he is in a romance and a fairy tale after all. Just a little bit.

Summary
It’s a big surprise when Dean dies the first time around. Well, to clarify, it’s not dying that comes as a shock. He’s a hunter, it’s rather expected he’ll die young and bloody, just… not more than once.

Summary
Dean’s life is a mess. The Mark of Cain is a ticking time bomb, no-one knows how to get rid of it, and in a stellar show of Worst Timing Ever, Cas suddenly figures out he’s got the hots for Dean. To be fair, the last of these complications… doesn’t suck. Talk about giving Dean incentive to live. Time to curb stomp this curse and grab that happily ever after with an angel of the Lord.
… But as it turns out, the curse-beating part has already been handled. Back when he was a Knight of Hell, black-eyed Dean instinctively implemented a solution that will pass the Mark on to an innocent child. His child. Evil? Well, yeah, but that’s right up there in a Hell Knight’s job description, along with the fuckton of magic necessary for the anti-miracle of getting himself - a dude - knocked up.
Dean is going to have to deal with this insanity and the consequences, but not Cas. No. If Dean has anything to say in the matter, his angel will never, ever find out.
Ever.

Summary
The day's fine - hunting pirates, killing people, cleaning up the World Government beaches, the usual - until one of their intended victims hits Lucci with a Devil Fruit power. The kind that turns the biological clock of a person back a few decades. The Straw Hats seem to run afoul of guys like that all the time, and why should they have all the fun, right?
Kaku would like to rebut that affirmation, but he's got his hands full...

Summary
Center, a planet where magic and technology blend. Or more accurately, fight tooth and nail. A planet of Sources, holes in our boring dimension letting through arcane power, chaos and pseudo-deities. In this hot-house of myths and very real dangers, Trowa and Quatre find a mysterious man at the end of a shamanic voyage. Portents suggest this Heero Yuy is crucial to Center’s survival. He’s important enough to have some interesting enemies after him, at any rate: a devious killer and thief called ‘Shinigami’, and a very irate Dragon. Beyond them looms an even greater threat. Indeed, the greatest of them all.
(Alternative Universe, far-flung future sci-fi/fantasy. There are elements from the anime that exist here, albeit in very different forms; Gundam mechas, Zero, and lovely G-boys for instance. They are perhaps a universal constant we are not yet aware of.)
This fic was originally started over a decade ago. It has been heavily rewritten and is now finished.

Summary
Sam and Dean Winchester grew up in Paradise 342, some two hundred years after the Apocalypse ripped the world apart. Now that was a messy business, humans dying left, right and center - but then Evil was defeated, and earth became a promised land, as was foretold in Revelations.
Now humans dwell peaceably in the eternal sunshine of a world unchanged since 1836. God lives among them in the form of a Machine managing all their needs, from their marriages to their daily meals, while their angel overseers keep the humans safe and content. The system is perfect. The angels all say so.
Dean and his friends in the human resistance beg to differ. The angels, particularly that new Seraph who just blew into town, can take their ‘perfect’ Paradise and suck it.

Summary
The two kingdoms of Sanq and Lin were at war for years; a conflagration involving magic, armies and political murder. The conflict left both nations devastated and strewn with refugees. The king of Sanq finds his infant son, lost at birth, among the death and the ruin, a miracle he barely dared to hope for.
But there isn't just one boy, there are two, clinging together like two halves of a whole that cannot be separated.
Decades later, the truth behind that second child’s existence will put a hole in the world, or possibly save it.

Summary
If anybody else had approached Paulie with the kind of lewd suggestions he got from Lucci now and again, he'd have punched them into next year. The problem was Hattori. There was something about getting propositioned by a pigeon that left Paulie gaping and constitutionally unable to answer.

Summary
The Heavenly Host have captured Jack. With Castiel’s life on the line, they demand that he create new angels.
So Jack goes ahead and creates a couple of new angels.
And the Host rejoice... for all of a few seconds before they are collectively reminded of that quaint human saying, ‘be careful what you wish for.’

Summary
Isn’t there a rule by now? An eleventh Commandment? A burst of star activity in a far off galaxy that created a new constellation reading “DON’T SCREW WITH THE WINCHESTERS”? Because if there isn’t, there really should be.
On the plus side? Dean gets to punch a Leviathan again.
On the downside, Cas died. While waiting for that to wear off, Dean discovers that having Cas inside him is...a lot more complicated than when that sentence is used in bed.

Summary
Freeport colony: a notorious den of pirates, smugglers and thieves. Wufei persuades one of its denizens, his one-time ally Duo, to help him catch a killer hiding there. Agent Chang thinks he knows what to expect from this case, from Freeport and from Duo Maxwell. He couldn't be more wrong.

Summary
Abaddon is back from the dead, and she’s managed to get her exquisitely manicured mitts on powerful magic. She’s kicked Crowley out of Hell and is setting about raising Cain. Literally. Dean only beheaded the bastard one hot minute ago, now he might be back too? Death just isn’t what it used to be...
So now Crowley and a reluctant Castiel have to break into Hell to deep six Abaddon. Even though they don’t have the Mark or the set of donkey dentures that goes with it, which is the only thing that can reliably kill the bitch (as Dean is keen to remind them).
Dean is not going to let his better half toddle off into Hell all on his feathery lonesome - or with Crowley, which is even worse. Nope, not going to happen. Time for a plan.
It’s a typical Winchester plan, aka, ridiculously dangerous, technically suicidal, and Cas and Sam are going to hate it like poison. But it’s a plan.
Time to bite the bullet and get the show on the road.

Summary
After his crimes committed in Heaven and on Earth, Castiel expected a swift execution. Naomi could have just left him in Purgatory to die, but she was the kind to tidy up loose ends rather than let monsters eat them. A clean death in Heaven was preferable to evisceration in Purgatory, but Castiel feared the Winchesters might also be two loose ends Naomi would try to ‘tidy up’.
Instead of the Heavenly firing squad, however, Naomi decreed that Castiel would return to earth to protect his friends from harm. He would be their assigned guardian angel and Heaven would leave the three of them alone from now on.
Oh, but make no mistake. This was a punishment, not a reward. Because Naomi set a condition.
(Divergent from somewhere in Season 8/9, though not necessarily where it appears to be at first. Timelines may seem screwed up initially but this is entirely deliberate - well most of it is deliberate, though errare humanum est and all that)

Summary
Ryou, a relentlessly repressed and controlled accountant, accidentally slips between dimensions. Since he's a practical, cautious man and not a complete idiot, he retraces his steps and slips right back out again, but he brought someone along with him. And now his life is going to take a sharp turn away from "repressed" and "controlled" to very strange places indeed: into a warped image of the past and into a very uncertain future, through war and violence, to the very edges of reality and beyond.
