Summary
"What questions do you have for the spirits?"
Normal shoves his hands into the center pocket of his collegiate hoodie and shrugs. "Questions?…uh, I'm not sure!"
"Okay, then tell us about your nightmare," Scary says with a surprising level of patience, "that you mentioned in the group text."
Oh, yeah. The group text. He can usually deal with things on his own, but the insomnia had really gotten to him. Now, he can barely remember what he'd said, but it had apparently been concerning enough that his old friends had texted back and demanded they drive over.
But that seemed like too much to ask, so he got in his car and drove over to their place instead.

In the dusty bullseye of the crossroads, Lark dug up the beginnings of a hole with the metal toe of his boot, and when the dirt would no longer give, finished it off with his bare hands.

Summary
The era of Sozin’s rule is known to the world of literature as a time of censorship and cultural destruction. The number of works in the Royal Archive of Caldera burned from the beginning of the Hundred Year War to Sozin’s death in 20 AG are estimated to be between 320,000 and 400,0000 scrolls. Despite this concerted effort to eliminate art which challenged xenophobic ideologies and encouraged peaceful collaboration with the Four Nations, the Fire Nation Empire was unable to erase the memory of Love amongst Dragons from the minds of its people, and through its many iterations and editions this story persists primarily today as the beloved play Love amongst the Dragons.
NOTE: Translators have taken liberties in the translation of the fragments retained from the attempted destruction, and have depicted missing sections of the scroll with brackets and estimated translations in italics.

Summary
A non-linear alternate universe where Lark is in a cult, and one day, he summons a fire demon named Nicholas.
"I offer this to you, and in exchange, you establish communication between us," Lark said as he held the necklace outside the creature's reach.
His other hand gestured to the chain before pointing back at the demon and then at himself.
The demon seemed to understand. As it nodded, a chuckle spilled from its lips. Then it spoke back with those words that rang like crackling timber in an unrestricted blaze, a new language that Lark couldn't wait to understand.

And Dean has been different since his rescue, has thrown out all boundaries he’d ever said were customary. Humans always manage to surprise Castiel. Dean surprises him most of all.

Summary
Admitting it won’t make Dean any more inconsolable than he already is, and he’ll never feel Cas’ absence any more or any less acutely than he does in this exact moment. “He’s gone,” Dean finally admits, because it seems like the only thing left to say.
When the terrible, swollen vacancy of the room offers no recourse, Sam says, “I know.”
