Supernatural - 1 1st Artist Claim - Taken! 2nd Artist Claim - Taken!
Title: What’s Done in the Dark
Rating and pairing: R, Dean/Castiel, Sam/Gabriel, Adam/Michael, Non-consensual Dean/Alistair, Non-consensual Alistair/Adam
Summary:
Criminal Minds AU. Adam is kidnapped from his supposedly safe campus by an unsub with a grudge against Dean. Michael, worried that Dean will only end up getting the case taken off them due to a conflict of interest, assigns Dean to desk duty. He has to sit back and rely on his team but they're playing a game against someone who knows every move in the FBI handbook, someone who will stop at nothing to get to Dean. Things go from bad to worse when Castiel is snatched from right under their noises.
Warnings: Mentions of off-screen rape, attempted rape, violence.
Supernatural - 2 1st Artist Claim - Taken! 2nd Artist Claim - Taken!
Title: Dragons and Blood-Rimmed Lashes
Rating and pairing: NC-17 Dean/Sam
Summary:
Dean's father sends him on a job with Ellen's son Sam, a kid who is barely out of high school but eager to go on his first hunt. The boys end up in Green River where something's been attacking people and killing crops, and their research leads them to discover they're hunting an Uncegila - a giant snake/dragon from Lakota mythology that blinds anyone unlucky enough to look at it. Armed with weapons and mirrored-shields, Sam and Dean go after the monster, ready for a Medusa-reminiscent show down.
Warnings: Not really any warnings I can think of...
Supernatural - 3 1st Artist Claim - Taken! 2nd Artist Claim - Taken!
Title: Crusaders 3: A Family Affair
Rating and pairing: PG-13; gen with background het: Dean of Winchester/Joanna de Harvelle, Dean Winchester/OFC (mostly offscreen), Sam/Jess, John/Mary
Summary:
Post-"Abandon All Hope," Gabriel and Castiel went back in time and used the Second Crusade as cover to help Dean of Winchester and Brother Samuel of Rievaulx use the Colt to kill Azazel in 1148. They've done their best ever since to keep any other demons from contacting Lucifer and to ensure that modern-day Sam and Dean have as normal a life as possible. When Meg gets too close to getting the better of them in June of 2005, though, Chronos decides to intervene. Cue modern!Winchesters (plus Jess) running into Crusader!Winchesters at Valhalla Faire in Lake Tahoe, a mad dash to Lawrence, Mary coming out of retirement, John declaring the entire family insane, visions true and false, Meg attacking the wrong Sam, Crowley being annoying via blood phone, Ash being thoroughly boggled, an epic showdown between Meg and two Deans in Stull Cemetery, Sam getting a taste of the monastic life, Marine!Dean barking orders at an archangel, Brother Samuel devouring John and Mary's library, and Crusader!Dean driving the Impala. All the humans are determined that "what was" will remain "what shall never be," but Gabriel's right--some things never change.
Warnings: None. Not even regarding the prequels--this story does build on the timeline changes made in the original Crusaders (the most important of which are mentioned above), but it stands more or less alone, and there's only one unexplained reference to Crusaders 2 (which isn't posted yet and deals only with the adventures of the Crusader!Winchesters). On-screen violence won't go even as far as Show, though the villains are soundly killed at the end.
Supernatural - 4 1st Artist Claim - Taken!
Title: And the night was filled with many things calling for his death
Rating and pairing: PG-13/R. Gen. Dean & Cas (strong bond).
Summary:
AU of Purgatory written before season 8 aired. It starts with a house in the middle of the conscious black that bares its teeth and eyes. Where Cas’ sanity is not easily acquired, but fought for every step of the way. There’s no Benny the vampire with a neat escape hatch. There’s just Dean and the bridge he might have to Sam. And Sam who might be the only one capable of getting them out. If they don’t die, that is.
Warnings: self-mutiliation. a lot of blood. some disturbing imagery. Crazy!Cas
Supernatural - 5 1st Artist Claim - Taken! 2nd Artist Claim - Taken! 3rd Artist Claim - Taken!
Title: Back to You
Rating and pairing: NC-17 Sam/Dean
Summary:
When Castiel is looking for a way to distract Dean from his upcoming ritual, he does what any bad guy would do - he takes Sam. But instead of keeping him, he sends him on a tour of alternate universes, where the only constant is Dean and his love for him. And since time runs differently in those universes, Sam ends up getting a good look at his brother through the years, from age four to age forty. Meanwhile, in his own universe, Dean's working to try to find a way to bring his brother back home to him - even if that means making a deal with the King of Hell.
Warnings: Underage sexual contact, character death, and a fair amount of whomping on Castiel
Supernatural - 6 1st Artist Claim - Taken!
Title: In His Court
Rating and pairing: NC-17 Sam/Dean, Sam/OMC, Sam/OFC
Summary:
A Season 8 AU, where Sam enlists the aid of his remaining allies and desperate to rescue Dean from Purgatory makes a deal with Crowley which turns out to have a much higher price than he's anticipated. Visual elements: Sam tortured in Crowley's Court, Sam hulking out on DemonBLood to save Dean, Dean taking care of Sam afterwards
Warnings: small amount of non-con and torture in a demon realm, but not terribly detailed, not the main focus of the story.
Supernatural - 7 1st Artist Claim - Taken!
Title: My Little Plaything
Rating and pairing: NC-17 Dean/Sam
Summary:
A newly sired vampire barely escapes death when an elder vampire vouches for him after his sire has been executed. After all, Sam never wanted to be a vampire, never had a choice, so, Dean doesn't believe it's fair to kill Sam for something he had no control over. Therefore, Dean decides to take Sam in and teach him the ways of the coven. He is given one month to teach Sam everything and make him a useful part of the coven. If he fails, Sam will be killed as planned.
Warnings: slash, abuse, swearing, schmoop, violence, blood-play, bottom!sam, top!dean, character death
RPS - 1 1st Artist Claim - Taken!
Title: Take 512
Rating and pairings: R, Jensen/Jared
Summary:
AU where they're technicians at a high school theater group. Jared's trying to recover from Jensen breaking up with him the year before, when it turns out that Jensen's coming back to their group again. High school angst and drama, and some wayward Shakespeare thrown in. Lots of sparks and lights and lovelorn pining.
Warnings: Jared's fourteen at the beginning of the fic, and it implies a relationship between him and Jensen. Also, he's only seventeen through the rest of the fic.
RPS - 2 1st Artist Claim - Taken! 2nd Artist Claim - Taken!
Title: can't you see that there's no logic to love?
Rating and pairings: R, Jared/Jensen
Summary:
Jared and Jensen never really spoke to each other in high school but they had one thing in common - the second they graduated high school, they both got the hell out of Texas. However, ten years later they’re reunited at the wedding of a mutual friend of theirs and realise that they have something else in common. They’re both a. broke and b. down on their luck. As they watch the wedding procession an idea springs to Jensen’s mind and Jared find’s that he’s desperate enough to agree. It’s a simple enough plan, they pretend to be engaged, get married and use the gifts and money they receive to get their lives on track. Sounds easy, right?
Warnings: some mild violence
