Summary
Castiel Novak, the archivist for a folk-art museum, has inherited an exhibit from his colleague and best friend, Charlie Bradbury. He’s introverted and only interacts with the public via the museum’s social media, but the exhibit requires him to interview local street musicians. After reading Charlie’s notes on bards, Castiel is reminded of the man he sees at the transit station each morning.
Dean Winchester has been busking around the US since his parents died in a car accident, playing the guitar his mother left behind. He visits his brother, Sam, in Palo Alto and funds his next trip playing in a transit station. He would have traveled along some time ago, but a studious man with ocean blue eyes keeps giving him a smile and his pocket money and Dean is ensnared.
Will the pair form a more profound bond?

Summary
And finally, Dean thought about Cas.
What it would all mean to have Cas in his entirety, in every way imaginable. To have him sleep caressed and sun-kissed beneath early morning sheets, the weight of his fingers tracing Dean’s palm down peaceful corridors, his scent cloaked in Dean’s very bones. To have his warmth as comfort and his hands as a guide that slid over Dean’s skin with familiarity. No more tentativeness, no more skimming the edges and tracing the seams of their story.
Peace. He wanted peace. But with Cas back from the Empty with his memories shredded, and Jack nowhere to be seen, what would peace even look like? And, after everything, was it something Dean deserved?

Summary
“Take me,” Dean says. He doesn’t have to think about it. “Take me as your vessel, Cas.”
*
or: Cas is cursed into an endless sleep. Dean offers himself up as his vessel while they try to break it.

Summary
“How the fuck do you know my name?” Dean hisses.
The man doesn’t look scared. He is watching Dean like there is nothing else worth watching, lips a little parted, eyes a little soft. And blue. Real blue, like the ocean on a postcard.
The ice spreading down Dean’s spine makes him shiver.
“I suppose you could say I’m your guardian angel,” the man murmurs. His breath fogs pale between them. All of him is unnaturally warm, like Dean’s touching somebody with the sun sewn up beneath their skin. “I have known you, Dean Winchester, for a very long time.”
*
Dean meets an angel who says he's from the future. It all gets a lot more complicated from there.

Summary
"I can keep it open," says Eleven, her face set and serious. She's got a hat pulled on over her short-shaved hair. Steve feels a pang of loss on her behalf, thinks about how he'd feel if someone held him down and shaved his head, made him into something they wanted him to be, instead of who he'd fought to make himself.
"I'll be as quick as I can," he says. He's deliberately dressed for utility - the jacket that he picked up at War Zone over a black t-shirt and combat pants and boots. In his backpack, he's got bottled water and protein bars, candy, a baggie of Honeycombs. He's got clean underwear and a t-shirt and socks. A flashlight. Bandaids. Antiseptic. He's got his bat resting on his shoulder.
"I'd feel a lot better if you'd take a handgun, kid," says Hopper, his arms folded across his chest.
"Not if I shoot myself in the foot, Sir," he says.***
In which Steve Harrington goes into hell for the boy he loves. I'd suggest reading parts 1 + 2 first!
