The term, he’s told, is temporary retrograde amnesia. Ilya doesn’t need the direct translation to understand: he forgot things. Ten years of things.

Summary
"You're supposed to smoke over there." Someone said from behind Ilya.
Ilya almost dropped his cigarette. His English was shitty, but he had studied that sentence enough times over the years to understand it immediately. He didn't even think about his words much anymore, but it was impossible to avoid them.
He turned instinctively, and was face to face with Shane fucking Hollander.
Out of almost seven billion people, of course Ilya's soulmate had to be his fated rival. It was almost poetic. Still, Ilya had enough sense to realize just how bad this was.
or, Shane says Ilya's soulmate words. Ilya vows to never speak a word to him to keep him from finding out. They fall in love anyway.

Summary
“So,” Ilya cleared his throat, the word sounding too loud in the stillness. “Shane tells me you like New Yorker.”
Shane’s dad looked at him from where he was rinsing out a glass in the sink, visibly surprised that Ilya had spoken first.
“Oh. Yes,” he said after a beat. “I like to read in the mornings. I love the crossword. Do you read The New Yorker too?”
“No.”
“Oh.”
or
While Shane is outside with his mother, Ilya finds unexpected understanding and warmth in a quiet kitchen conversation with the man who helped raised the boy he loves.

Summary
“My father has arranged for me to marry Princess Vivian. I’ve tried to tell him I’m—you know—”
“A git?”
“—Gay, and that I won’t marry someone I don’t even like let alone have any sort of romantic attachment to. But, well—you know how he is. He doesn’t listen. So, I thought… perhaps he could use… further convincing. Of a more… visual sort.”
Merlin stared at him some more.
“If he saw me kissing a man, he’d hardly be able to deny my—” Arthur waved vaguely at himself. “Well, in any case, it might put Vivian off.”- Language:

Summary
Merlin acts theatrically affronted at that, gesturing to Arthur with a disordered movement of his hand. “This is the worst profession of love ever. Gwaine, at least, waxes poetry at me every chance he gets.”
“I am not professing my love for you, you idiot. We need to find the sorcerer that did this to me,” Arthur explains exaggeratedly, as though that might help Merlin and his slow brain keep up. Then his own enchantment-addled mind catches onto what Merlin has just said. “Gwaine recites you poetry?”
__
Arthur is in love with Merlin. He is convinced it's a spell.

Summary

Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
Cover art by Lao-Pendragon------
For many long years Merlin waited.
For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.
Until one day, suddenly, it did.
When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.
Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

Summary
If anyone were to ask whose idea it was to start doing body shots off each other, neither of them could've given a credible answer.
That didn't matter at the moment.
Not with the way Eddie slurped up the tequila pooled in Buck's belly button.
Or how he took the time to lap the liquor that lingered on Buck's toned abs.
Or the way the flat of his tongue pressed against Buck's collarbone much lower than where the salt had been stuck, as Eddie licked up the side of Buck's neck.
It certainly didn’t matter when Eddie's lips pressed against Buck's as he very slowly bit the lime resting in Buck's mouth. That's when it occurred to him. Straight guys probably don't do body shots off their bisexual male best friend. It should have given Eddie more pause than that, but it didn't.
Not when he really wanted to do it again.
♧♧♧♧
OR: I 100% believe the show writers made a mistake not having Buck and Eddie hook up in Season 8 Episode 6. So this is my way of correcting that error 😜😅

Summary
He doesn’t want to go. There’s so much here for him—so much to fight for, but he’s been fighting for so long, and there’s only so much he can do when he’s pinned and bleeding steadily. There’s not much to fight anymore except God, and God’s seemingly made a choice.
And, just as Buck was finally starting to understand, too.
Sniffing, he asks, voice cracking, “Eddie?”
He’s scared. There’ve been so many close calls, but not quite as close as this, and he’s terrified, but there’s too much to say. Too much on the line. He can’t let the fear keep him quiet anymore. He’s wasted so much time on being afraid, and now he’s run out, and he just—
He needs Eddie to know.

or, Buck's dying.

“Bye, Eddie,” Buck says quickly, fluttering his lashes innocently at him, he smiles widely at glare he’s getting, and adds, “I love you.”
Eddie rolls his eyes, “Asshole,” he replies, his face blushed bright red.
(Or, Buck finds out that Eddie gets all flustered when someone tells him they love him. Naturally, Buck needs to tell him all the time now. It’s purely platonic, leave him alone.)

Summary
He forces his gloved hand through dirt, rock, dust, pushing past the bite of glass shards until his fingers finally hit something solid.
Eddie’s shoulder.
“Hey.” Buck’s voice drops, breath trembling. “We’re not there yet. You hear me?”
His hand tightens.
“You’re not there.”
A promise more than reassurance.
“You’re gonna tell Christopher whatever you wanna tell him – yourself – after I get you out.”
The silence that follows lands thick, like the air itself has gone still. Eddie’s gaze stays fixed forward, eyes glimmering faintly in the dust-choked light.
Somewhere above them, metal groans.
Buck keeps his hand where it is, the only steady thing left in a world that’s still trying to bury them.
Everything they’ve buried between them begins to surface.

Summary
Dean has burned Cas' body and that makes his death definite. The only thing left for him to do is to drown himself in alcohol and hunting, a pale echo of his father. So when Sam finds the strange case of a town that no one seems to be able to get out of, Dean goes with him to investigate with only white noise in his head.
But something strange happens when Dean crosses the town's municipal boundary without realizing it. He suddenly finds himself living a life that isn't technically his own but feels like it's his: he's survived the Hunt, has a house, a white picket fence, and an happy apple pie on the windowsill.
And most importantly.
Cas is alive.

Summary
Inspired by Jennilah's adorable artwork of a tiny!cas-filled gumball machine.
Dean walks into his local bank one day and notices that someone has filled the old gumball machine with these tiny, wiggling, sentient angels in individual plastic packaging. Deeply concerned about their air supply and the fact that they're trapped there in the sun, he starts pumping in quarters to rescue them. This is worse than leaving a dog in an overheating car.
Now he's got forty of the little guys running all over his house, and god knows how many others might be trapped and dying all over the city.
