Summary
"I'm all right," one of them was saying, hoarse and breathless. "I'm okay. It's all right, it's nothing." He sat up, one arm held to his chest, yellow hair hanging in his eyes.

Summary
Johnny strained for the faintly crackling feeling of awareness he'd gotten used to, looked for those tiny shifts of head, hands, stance—but nothing doing. Henry's attention was fully on the matinee idol and the idol's on him, murmuring in their own closed circle, while Johnny watched them like a stray through a cafe window.
Okay, so, this was new. He'd gotten on top of every knuckleball Henry had thrown him so far. You just had to watch, and then you'd see. Nobody ever said it was always going to be a goddamn delight.

One Good Turn (The Lost Souls Remix) by populuxe for keire_ke

Summary
“He swore he wasn’t imagining it,” Darwin continues. “But…he saw Charles last week.”
Raven’s heart clenches, and she rises involuntarily out of her seat. “Charles is alive?”
“No,” Darwin says, shaking his head. “He’s not.”
For years, Raven was the Slayer, Charles was her Watcher, and Erik was Charles’s boyfriend (and a vampire with a soul). When Charles is kidnapped and their search for him is fruitless, they assume that he’s dead. Before long, though, they learn that he's anything but—and Erik quickly realizes why Charles was so insistent about never wanting to be turned into a vampire.

Summary
It's been fifteen years since he last looked at Erik, the house, and all his mistakes. Thirty-year-old academic, he thinks, orphan, now, and starving, too. His mother is dead, and nothing has changed, except he forgets what he likes for breakfast. And Erik looks at him like - like he doesn't understand the language Charles is speaking. Like he has to strain a bit to make sense of the man in front of him.
With the pruning, a branch is stronger; you will learn to love the shears.

Summary
Erik shivers, squeezing his eyes shut as he feels Charles start to rummage around in his head again. It's nothing that Erik would notice if Charles hadn't spent so much of the last few weeks in and out of Erik's head, or if Charles was trying to sneak. It's a twitch, an intrusive thought (his own name, laden with purpose), and possibly the way his breath snags in his throat—but that may just be Erik.

Summary
Stuart Besser's theory about time travel might be the first thing he's gotten right in his entire life.
--Or is it the last thing? It's kind of a pretzel, but if he doesn't get it right with His Grace Leopold Mountbatten, third Duke of Albany, too, Stuart--and the modern world--may never recover.

Summary
Erik is expecting to meet up with an anonymous political activist who has a job for him. Charles thinks he’s going to be set up with a blind date.

Summary
No monsters, no codependent little brother, no angels (devastatingly handsome or otherwise) — and for Dean, there never have been.
It’s a little lonely sometimes; somehow a little… existentially wrong, sure, with a past he’s still burying and a future he can’t figure out, but he’s not going to bitch about it. He can even work around the nightmares bleeding in from another world; they feel enough like his own to fit in. It’s still better than before.
Then, Chuck Shurley shows up at his dive bar. And Dean lets the monster in.
AKA
Chuck attempts to cure his own case of Dean Winchester Derangement Syndrome by creating a rom-com alternate universe— and writing himself into it as the love interest. But Chuck should know by now: AUs tend to fall into old grooves, no matter how out of tune they're played… and Dean can never seem to escape the horror genre.

Summary
"You misunderstand. This is not a recruitment mission." His head tilts every so slightly to the side, his smile almost gentle. Age has softened his face in many ways. "It's a rescue mission."
A rescue mission. Charles puts his cards down and stares. "What does that mean?"
"That I'm not leaving without you, Charles. So, what will it be? I could watch you get shitfaced then haul you out of here. That would make everything fairly simple actually. Or." Leaning, elbows on the cramped table, Erik says, "You could come with me and skip the dramatics and the hangover."
