    Summary

    Aphrodite had foreseen Paris' triumph – her triumph, in truth. The moment his eyes would fall upon Helen of Sparta, he would understand: this was the reward for his devotion, this was the woman the gods themselves had deemed worthy of a prince so favoured.

    She had not foreseen his rejection.

    Had not expected him to turn away from the prize she had laid before him, to spurn the very woman he had once coveted with all his heart.

    Nor had she anticipated that his desire would stray – not to another queen, most certainly not to Helen’s own cousin.

     

    Penelope of Sparta.

     

    (Or, after coming across a portrait of Penelope during his time in Sparta, Paris of Troy switches his kidnapping victim from Helen to Penelope. This proves far more detrimental than anyone could have imagined - a spark burning so bright that even the Gods on Olympus are caught in its flames.)

    Perhaps he can go back home after his time at war and on the sea.

    Summary

    The baby was swimming in blood and Jason’s instincts are screaming.

    Servants come to clear the dead nursemaid away, but they are harmless compared to the alpha currently cradling his pup. Jason doesn’t—can’t remember much. He doesn’t know who the mother, Talia’s mate, is. Jason doesn’t know much of anything besides what he’s been told since he burst through the oily slick surface of the Lazarus pit.

    Summary

    To tie up the loose ends of a hunt, Dean is forced to go undercover and visit Brock Pleasure Ranch, a horrifying establishment that markets its inhabitants to people with ‘monstrous’ tastes.

    It should have been a simple thing, to persuade a mer to give him a few scales for a spell. All part of the usual Winchester byline: saving people, hunting things.

    But Castiel is far less of a ‘thing’ than Dean expected. He might not be human, but he’s definitely a person.

    And that means he needs saving, too.

    Summary

    It's like being buried at the bottom of a very deep, very dark well. Castiel has lived enough, sinned enough, for the weight of his mistakes to pin him flat in the darkness. It's shame and guilt and grief and each memory anchors him with a razor specificity, there in the lightless silence. This is how it works, he supposes. His own thoughts will devour him alive until he sips oblivion by choice, out of sheer desperation, and the void will know peace at last.

    But that was the bargain. He took that upon himself. His choice. Choice, he thinks, and would laugh if he still had a mouth to laugh with. Freedom is a length of rope.

    Then, after what could have been many eternities or just one, a pang of agony comes that isn't his own.

    *

    Or: the one where Castiel saves himself.

    Summary

    It’s September of 2005, and Dean Winchester, in an attempt to outrun old mistakes and painful memories, finds himself in southern Kentucky on a wild goose chase. He’s completely certain this weird religious movement he’s “investigating” is a hoax, despite the miraculous healings people report, and he’ll be back on the road in a day or two. Things are looking up when he meets Cas, an awkward (and gorgeous) graduate student who’s actually doing honest-to-god research into the local tent revival meetings. When that research takes a weird and personal turn, Dean’s left to face two very serious realities: one, this may be a real case after all, and two, he’s fallen way harder for Cas than he should ever have let himself.

    Summary

    John Winchester is back.
    It’s been a long two days of catching John up on everything he missed. Well, almost everything. There are things Dean was trying to keep to himself. And then he doesn’t get to hide it anymore when a stop in the kitchen for a midnight snack exposes everything.

     

    Or
    The one where a midnight snack leads to Dean being caught in a *compromising* position by his newly un-dead father. And a whole mess of miscommunication and misunderstandings leads to punches being thrown.

     

    PS. I have not actually SEEN episode 300 so if you have seen the promo- this is SPOILER free!

    Summary

    Camp Chitaqua is definitely not a place to raise a child; Croats come from every angle and they’re never sure when they’re going to get their next meal, as they have no idea when they’ll manage a supply run. Despite it, when Cas falls pregnant with Dean’s baby, he’s determined to bring it into the world, even though the other women and children haven’t survived it. He’s sure he can do it with Dean by his side, but he never really stopped to think whether Dean was actually on his side to begin with.
