Summary
"Rain soaked into the clay, rivulets red as blood running from the freshly-turned grave. It was midday but the gray light of the rain storm lent the air a timeless quality, like the world had paused to mourn with them. A wooden cross stood crooked where a headstone should be. Carl had carved the name and epitaph with his pocket knife, little hands working carefully to form the letters. Rick didn’t raise his eyes to read them again. ‘Beloved wife and mother’ hardly seemed like enough."

Summary
The hospital. Was this real? Was he really back at the start?
All those mistakes, every person he’d lost, killed, driven away…
He stood and stared at his face in the mirror, a face younger and more innocent than the one he’d seen in Alexandria’s mirrors, in the prison’s dusty windows, even in the station house that first time. He watched his features harden, the eyes sink and the brow furrow. He watched determination settle over him like a blanket of snow, chilling him to an icy resolve.
Screw it.
If there was even a chance he could do this all over again things were going to go goddamn different.

Summary
"You’re a good guy, Cas. You’re kind. And smart, way smarter than me. You and Sam talk about books and shit sometimes and I just have to sit there and…” he shook his head. “You’re loyal and really, really badass when you want to be. You’re just good. And I’m…” he gestured at himself, “not.” He finished.
Dean could see the outline of Cas’s face tilt in the darkness. “You- You think…?”
“That you’re too good for me, Cas.” Dean admitted. “Yeah. By a long shot.”
Part II of the LAA-verse.
When Castiel marched out of his father's house all those months ago he never would have imagined finding the life he has now. Friends, a job at a garage, a boyfriend and a real, loving family, it's all his. Sure, it's not perfect. He still has to deal with Raphael (a "certified fuck-weasel" by Gabriel's colorful description), and he hasn't spoken to his ailing father since that night, but life now is better than he could have ever hoped.
But as old faces and new struggles start dropping in will Castiel find a way to hold on to this fragile new happiness?Series

Summary
He was afraid. He had never feared Death before. He’d lived with the possibility as a soldier of Heaven. He’d risked it when he’d fought through the bowels of hell to find the Righteous Man. He’d stood and faced it at Chuck Shurley’s home. He’d driven to find it when he’d followed Dean to Stull. And he’d never been afraid. Until now.

Summary
ON HIATUS - until I have time to focus on this piece and get a good chunk written at once I'm afraid I'll have to suspend this work. I have EVERY intention of coming back as soon as I can to this piece!!
"It was worse than the howling fury of the rack, this place. Worse than the shrieking pain, the endless cries of damned souls pleading for mercy they would not receive. It was worse than the blood smeared on his hands, seeping through his skin to stain his bones. Worse than the fire that peeled singed hide from flesh, the blades that cut down to the soul and stripped all that was human away.
This was so much worse."A canon-divergent AU taking place directly after the close of Season 5, this fic finds Dean trying and failing to keep his promise to Sam to live a normal, happy life with Lisa after watching his brother dive into the pit. Drowning in guilt and grief, Dean is struggling to find a way to keep going when one lands on his doorstep. Is Dean finally losing it, or could Sam really be wandering around topside?

No one knows why it happened or how, all they know is they have a second chance and they're not going to waste it.

Summary
Zuko was almost killed the moment he was born. Ozai said he lacked the spark necessary of a fire-bender and almost cast him over the palace walls, only saved by Ursa’s powerful, motherly conviction. Pleading to give Zuko a chance. Agni, please, just one chance.
He wasted that chance at thirteen years old, during an Agni Kai, forever branded to be the banished son of Ozai. He was honourless, irredeemable, and yet still, somehow, he found his way. Zuko knows how it feels to be worthless, he knows how he it feels to desperately claw at that accusation and prove otherwise. This is why, with the Fire Nation's carcass resting on his shoulders, he knows he cannot buckle underneath the pressure. It is his responsibility, his duty to both his people and the world, to fulfil this role, for fear of his father's tyranny seeping back into the palace walls. He has a chance to do good here...and he cannot waste it.
.....
ORThe war is over and Zuko is the Firelord...Now what? How did we get from Zuko's coronation to republic city, and was the journey to peace easy? Spoiler, no..no it very much wasn't. Featuring: Decolonisation, the mystery of Zuko’s mother and the palace staff being chaotic (+gaang adventures)

Summary
Murdock freezes as Frank eases the hoodie around his shoulders, then half pulls away as Frank puts his arm around him. The defensiveness is short lived. Murdock lets out a grunting exhale and abruptly sags towards him.
“Hey, hey…” Frank says but Murdock’s knees buckle. He clutches at Frank with weak fingers, limbs trembling as if the cold is going to shake him right apart. Frank grabs him around the chest, manages to persuade an arm around his shoulder and wraps his arm around Red’s waist. Doesn't want to carry him, he looks so beat up that it must be hurting, but by now all the strength has drained from his legs. Frank holds on, hoping he isn't dislodging fractured ribs or something, and begins to move, to drag him out of the alleyway.
Frank develops a habit of 'speaking to Matt' when he isn't around, with the presumption that he can't hear him so what's the harm? Meanwhile, Karen makes a new friend with a similar nose for trouble. Set After Defenders, The Punisher season 1 and Jessica Jones season 2.
