'tis the damn season by footnotesforfoxes (y2beans) [Rated M, 7155 words, incomplete, last updated Aug 2024]

BREAKING NEWS - Exy star Kevin Day suffers extreme knee injury! Will he ever play again? Kevin Day, Jean Moreau, and Jeremy Knox have never been able to leave each other alone.

So Dark the Hunger, So Sweet the Ruin by NikNak22 [Rated M, 7233 words, complete, 2024]

This is a story about a boy, a monster, and a curse. It is about a sun, a moon, and some stars. It is about longing, words unspoken, and scars that never heal. It is about things scuttling around in the dark that should never be seen. It is about wanting something so badly that you would sacrifice everything to keep it safe. Even from yourself. Aka in a world where Kevin doesn't have a soul mark, what is the point of him falling in love?

tw: depression, tw: self esteem issues, tw: negative self talk, tw: implied/referenced suicide attempt

Haunting Spirits by fullyvisible [Rated T, 13637 words, complete, Daylight Savings Fest 2024]

Kevin's life is going wonderfully until the fifth anniversary of Riko's death catches him by surprise, and he realizes his happiness--and his sobriety--may be more precariously balanced than he had thought. Kevin is desperate to keep it together well enough to prevent anyone from noticing, but Jean and Jeremy know him better than most.

tw: alcoholism, tw: ptsd

Because, Despite, Still by codename_adler [Rated T, 11047 words, complete, Daylight Savings Fest 2024, locked]

"No matter what Jeremy thought he knew, no matter his meticulous observations and incessant pleas for Kevin to come and fix Jean, Kevin could see plainly that perhaps he should not have trusted the USC Captain on that one. Every time you show up on TV or any of us talk about you, he shuts his eyes for a few seconds. Like… Like he’s looking for you, inside himself. There’s nothing… There’s nothing else I can give him. I swear to you Kevin, I would if I did. I’m well aware this is most certainly going to get uglier before it gets better, but that’s a knife I can’t remove myself. Only you, Kevin. Only you. Please come home to him."

tw: implied/referenced abuse

The "Ex" Protocol by KweenDay [Rated M, 14151 words, complete, Daylight Savings Fest 2024, locked]

Jeremy has heard about Jean's high school boyfriend, Kevin, of course, but he's not jealous. He doesn't get jealous over exes. Except... he didn't know ex-Kevin was THE Kevin Day, Exy royalty extraordinaire. And no, he's still not jealous... or obsessed with him. So what if he keeps finding a way for the three of them to be in the same room time and again? It's for research! Obviously.

tw: implied/referenced abuse, tw: implied/referenced cult membership

In The Middle by KweenDay [Rated E, 6894 words, complete, 2024, locked]

Jean has always looked at his life in two segments - the one when he loved Kevin Day and both, pleasure and pain, were inextricably linked; and the one when he loved Jeremy Knox and he learned that loving someone could come without the threat of pain looming over his head. But in the past few months, both of those segments are bleeding into each other. The shadows of the past mixing with his present, and Jean thinks maybe this is a whole new chapter. Something different. Something good.

tw: explicit sexual content

Break the Ice by noNic02 [Rated E, 25396 words, incomplete, last updated Feb 2024]

Things are finally looking up for Jeremy Knox. He moved to a new city, he likes his university program, his roommates are great (mostly), and he started hooking up with one very attractive Jean Moreau. There's really only one problem - Jean's roommate hates him.

tw: explicit sexual content, tw: scars, tw: implied/referenced abuse

Tell me where it hurts most by xxhearttommo [Rated T, 1828 words, complete, 2024]

Jeremy is on a date with his boyfriends when he answers a call from his mother and finds out his father has passed away. Jeremy is hurting. Jean and Kevin help him get himself together and go through a rough patch.

tw: death of a parent

suneater by REDRAGEOUSED [Not Rated, 11371 words, incomplete, last updated Jan 2024]

Jeremy reaches over and messes with Kevin’s hair, nails scratching his scalp lightly, and he leans into it hard, barely noticing it when he turns to whisper to Jean that “they should probably get him home.” Then the car is starting and Jeremy’s hand pulls back and this time, this time Kevin holds back the whine, but he’s still feeling fucking ridiculous because what grown man enjoys being pet. Kevin is not built for this, he is not built for affection and soft touches, he is built to be hit and bruised and pushed to his limits so this is just all fucking wrong. kevin day is desperate and fucked up and everything wrong with the world. he's not sure how they haven't realized yet.

tw: implied/referenced eating disorders, tw: panic attacks, tw: implied/referenced abuse 

through numb lips by REDRAGEOUSED [Not Rated, 2494 words, complete, 2024]

Kevin isn’t really sure why they’re whispering, but given the way he has to swallow, thick and heavy, to answer, he thinks it's probably for the best. He says “I think- I think I’m high.” He doesn’t know why he says it like that, but then Jean, vaguely somewhere up laughs, and he’s glad he did. kevin day gets high & gives the best blowjob of his life

tw: explicit sexual content, tw: recreational drug use

Lagom by NikNak22 [Rated E, 19399 words, complete, 2023]

When his kingdom falls, Prince Kevin Day is ripped from his golden cage and thrust into reality. With no skills to speak of and his title gone, he has to work long and hard to learn how to survive. It is only through the grace of his teachers (or captors or liberators, depending on how one looks at it) that he has succeeded, allowing him a kind of freedom and self-sufficiency he's never known. Together, Jeremy, Jean, and Kevin form a tenuous bond of loyalty and obligation, allowing them to co-exist peacefully. It is a partnership built on mutual understanding and respect. One with clear lines and boundaries. One that reminds Kevin daily of his place. Until one day, it all starts to unravel.

tw: explicit sexual content, tw: self esteem issues

The Love We Unravel by fullyvisible [Rated T, 10049 words, complete, 2023]

Jeremy deserves a comfortable, safe life; Jean knows he can't give it to him - and neither can Kevin. But they don't consider whether Jeremy thinks they're a risk worth taking. Inspired by Midnight Rain by Taylor Swift.

Birthday Wishes by fullyvisible [Rated T, 2595 words, complete, 2023]

It's Jean's birthday, and he expects to spend it alone - which would be fine, if he hadn't gotten so used to spending his time with Jeremy and Kevin.

Beach Trip by fullyvisible [Rated T, 4592 words, complete, 2022]

When Jeremy finds out Kevin and Jean have never been to the beach, he decides to take them for a day in the sand, sun, and waves.

tw: implied/referenced torture, tw: implied/referenced scars

Optimiste by mitigates [Rated M, 28838 words, complete, 2022]

“Riko is- is dead. I am- I am- I am alive-” Jean sucked in a gasping breath that made his chest ache with the force of it. He gripped Kevin’s collar until his breaths calmed into a slow aftershock.  A soft gasp in the doorway revealed Jeremy’s presence. Jean turned on him, eyes flashing. He said the words harshly in French, “This does not concern you!” - or - Jean loses his memories after an accident. In his mind, he's barely survived Riko's last beating, Kevin left him alone at the Nest, and Jeremy is nothing more than a strange captain from another team.

tw: implied/referenced abuse, tw: major character injury, tw: nightmares

can you show me how to make it true? by Flowerparrish [Rated E, 11071 words, complete, 2021, locked]

It’s not that Kevin and Jean don’t text. But one day, Kevin gets the text.

tw: implied/referenced alcohol abuse

doomsday by erosandhades [Rated T, 4810 words, complete, 2021]

He remembered every drink Kevin had thrown at him, then the shots, then moving to the next party, then Jean. He remembered thinking “fuck it”. He remembered doing three more shots with Kevin and two with Jean. Now, he didn’t remember how he got there. Or that tweet "one time at a party i kissed someone's girlfriend and to make sure he wasn't mad about it i just kissed him too... i blacked out and woke up to a text in a groupchat with both of them that said "did you make it home safe baby? <3"' but make it Kerejean.

One, two princes kneel before you by moonqueerdom [Rated T, 10084 words, complete, 2021]

Once upon a time, on a cold, dark night in the Central Court of Arcane, the annual winter masked ball was held. Faeries danced majestically all over the place, for the song being played by a charming group of faeries was enchanted (more literally than not) and the folk wouldn't miss the opportunity to celebrate the solstice. The winter flowers were blooming inside the castle with all the magic bursting from the Land and from the folk, and snow was falling outside the transparent plasma-gloss walls. And, last but not least, two princes and a guard were about to meet among all those partying people. A fairy tale about three faeries who meet at a masquerade ball and accidentally start a new folklore. And they're a chaotic mess.

Ask me to kneel by moonqueerdom [Rated E, 15404 words, complete, 2020]

Jeremy Knox meets Jean Moreau and Kevin Day in a BDSM club after some time without seeing them and finds that they have quite a Dom/sub dynamic that interests him immediately

Stuck With U by moonqueerdom [Rated M, 21198 words, complete, 2020]

Jeremy and Jean go to Denver and stay at Kevin's apartment, but then the quarantine starts and they are forced to spend much more time than they expected in the city. And at Kevin's apartment.

One Piece Brazillian AU

In which they are travelling in a van (Merry) and later a bus (Sunny) through all of Brazil. That might be very selfish, but I'm doing it anyway. Thank @majubengel's amazing art for it.

They set pretty good places/locations for each straw hat: Luffy from Belo Horizonte (it's my city and I might be way too happy about it but whatever), Zoro from Salvador, Nami from Belém, Usopp from Brasília, Chopper from Canela, Robin from São Raimundo Nonato, Franky from São Paulo, Jinbei from Fortaleza and Brook from Cu de Judas (don't look this up btw it's not a real place it means judas' ass hole and it's just an expression to a very distant isolated place nobody knows), they also said Doflamingo is from Rio de Janeiro

From my own: Vivi is from Vitória, Yamato is from Curitiba, Law is from Niterói, Kid and Killer are from Recife, Shirahoshi is from Manaus, Perona is from Ouro Preto, Ace is from Uberaba, Sabo is also from Belo Horizonte and Carrot is from Porto Velho.

Skypiea is Fernando de Noronha, Wano is the state of Paraná, Alabasta is the state of Espírito Santo, Enies Lobby is STF (Supremo Tribunal Federal/Supreme Federal Court), Ohara is Serra da Capivara, Marineford is Forte Caxias, Sabaody is Florianópolis, Punk Hazard is Urupema, Dressrosa is Rio de Janeiro, Zou is the state of Rondônia, Whole Cake happens in Pantanal, Egghead is Campinas, Elbaf is Gramado and Impel Down is Centro de Confinamento de Terrorismo (yes I googled that)

Names on this AU:

Luffy - Luz

Zoro - Zacarias

Nami - Naomi

Usopp - Uirapuru

Sanji - Sales

Chopper - Chauá

Robin - Roberta

Franky - Francisco

Brook - Breu

Jinbei - Jair

Vivi - Viviane

Yamato - same (decided to keep his name cuz of a reason I'm telling later)

Law - Laurie

Bonney - Bombom

Kid - Kaique

Killer - Kevin

Shirahoshi - Iara (this is based off the main siren/mermaid tale in Brazil who's name is Iara)

Perona - Petra

Ace - Alex

Sabo - Saulo

Carrot - Coral

Doflamingo - Douglas (he uses Doflamingo though cuz he thinks Douglas is a poor people name)

Crocodile - Crocodilo (didn't change much cuz he is trans here and he'd choose that name)

Marco - he can keep his name.

Enel - Enem (Not a real name but I had to make that joke cuz that's the name of brazillian national exam for college and also everyone's greatest fear)

Lucci - Lúcio

Hancock - Anahí (it looks to have no relation, but I like the name and you'll see an explanation later)

Pudding - Pudim (poor girl)

Katakuri - Amido (ok, I looked up his ethimology and its some kind of plant used to make flour. I didn't want to, but now the guy is gonna get bullied for a completely different reason. Sorry dude)

Big Mom - Mãezona (I'm so sorry)

Marshall D. Teach - Marcos

Kaidou - Kaito

Some other notes: non-human species are now brazillian folklore creatures. Perona is some kind of loira do banheiro (with the difference that she is alive). The Wano people are all of japanese descendant (Brazil is the place with most japanese people outside of Japan in the world). Doflamingo is basically a dono do morro very influencial in all favelas of Rio. The Amazon Lily girls are Icamiabas, who are said to have been a group of indigenous fighting ladies at XVI century who were mistaken to be the amazons. Kept the Charlotte family food theme cuz I want it (has no explanation for it actually). CP-9 is from ABIN (though they are much cooler than ABIN). Ohara is set in Serra da Capivara as it is a historical spot with lots of cave paintings and stuff. Chopper is a veado-bororó-do-sul. Luffy is basically Chico Bento (look him up). Campinas is Egghead cuz it's a technology poll. Gramado is Elbaf cuz its a touristical point because of its influence from european immigrants' culture. Law is from Niterói cause... well, Niterói and Rio are similar to US's New Jersey and New York. Sorry, Niterói, you get a horrible death from bio weapon, swear it's nothing personal (I also wanted to "parallel" revolta da vacina). Chose Ouro Preto to the setting of Thriller Bark due to it being full of ghost stories, old buildings (like, centuries old) and stuff. Sea Lords are Boiuna and Minhocão. One of Hancock's sisters is basically the Princesa Encantada de Jericoacoara. Her place was taken by Mihawk and that's Kuraigana Island. Fishman Island is Manaus.

Please ask things about this I got lots of ideas.

oh boi these make me nervous but thank you @mostlymaudlin ;; (tagging: @skvaaader @jaywalkers @annawrites @marianjos @kevneildependant @takitalks)

i'll follow format cus this looks pretty and personal favs first feels nicer to share. (i havent posted a lot of fic so there's a bit of overlap)

that's just something people say (T), 119k, andreil || slowburn road trip au where neil steals andrew's car and andrew makes a deal to take neil west before they part ways again (haha...unless? 👀) this is my baby that i worked on for several months and posted every chapter in one day lmao it was my first chapter fic and my first major au. im still very proud of it <3

better safe than damned (E), 18k, andreil || a smuttier au of an au with demon!neil and witch!andrew and tentacles lol it sounds depraved, and the tags make it sound really depraved but half that word count is aftercare and exploring ones comfort zones and sexuality? so its personal and one of my best written smutfics imo

what a chatty creature (T), 14.7k, kandreil || 5 times neil goes nonverbal and the one time he finds his voice. i wrote this for my friend gull and had them give me 6 of their favourite words and included those in each part. i liked exploring communication with kandreil when in a slightly different font

messy (E), 10.3k, kandrew || au where kevin and trans!andrew are fwb (but more because feelings are fun) its another soft smut where andrew thinks too much, and hes a bit further in his healing, but reservations are still that. i like playing with their dynamic a whole lot. i was incredibly nervous to post this but im glad i did <3

taptaptap (T), 7.2k, kandreil || canon divergence kandreil where theyre a year or so removed from college and in love, but kevin and andrew never resolved The Incident after baltimore. this was my first big softie fic of them. i love kevin with my whole heart and i think he should be happy always so this one is close to me

taptaptap (T), 7.2k, kandreil || this one doesn't surprise me when it comes to popularity. its super soft and canon divergent and my first non exchange/gift fic!

that's just something people say (T), 119k, andreil || its a 100k+ slowburn andreil fic. it was bound to do numbers but its also very validating because i worked so hard ;;

like you swallowed a bone (T), 7.6k, gen twinyards and nicky || mixtape post canon fic exploring what happened with the twins and nicky's relationship years down the road. i think this got popular because of age and i still really like it, but im not sure what sparked this one for people lol

what a chatty creature (T), 14.7k, kandreil || this def got popular because fuzzy and kandreil and its relatively low stakes in drama (not that i write particularly dramatic things but yknow)

morning coffee (E), 9.8k, kandreil || post canon divergence smut with the boys before neil has an interview. kandreil smut speaks for itself in popularity lol i am still incredibly fond of this one and its gotten a lot of comments recently which has been nice. wrote it because i wanted to see more fic that felt like kandreil and not just andreil + kevin

im terrible at boosting my own stuff because i never feel like i explain myself well enough to sell my ideas or fics which is definitely reflected in my summaries that i have often been told "do not do the fic any justice" lol that and im horrified of people saying theyre silly but at least a few people think theyre pretty neat! :^)

"Alright, let's see......which particles in soil are the smallest and retain the most moisture?"

"Come on, Kevin, lets take a break." You begged and leaned forward so your head was resting against the table. You had been studying for so long that the questions were starting to blur together more and more, and no matter how much you thought about it you couldn't remember the answer. .

"It's clay." Kevin answered and flipped to another study card. You sighed and sat back up while he continued to start the next question. You cut him off with a groan.

"Kevin, we've been at this for hours. Can we take a break for a little bit? I'm starving, let's get some food or something."

He looked up at you and nodded slowly, almost a bit hesitant. You felt a wave of guilt wash over you and reached out to put your hand over his.

You had asked him to help you study. You weren't exactly at the top of your class, so when you had been having a hard time with your latest unit of Earth Science, he had gladly accepted to help tutor you. It was almost like he didn't realize how tired you had gotten, and now he was suddenly aware of all the work you had been doing.

"Kevin, my test isn't for a week. We've got lots of time, okay? I appreciate it and everything, I really do, but I just need to take a breather. Why don't we order a pizza and watch a show?"

"Yeah....sorry." He apologized and closed up your binder of notes. He slid it across the table and smiled back, giving your hand a quick squeeze.

"I'm pretty hungry too, actually. Pizza sounds great."

You grinned and reached for your phone, dialing the number of the closest pizza place while Kevin moved over to the couch to start looking for something you could watch. It wasn't a rare occurrence for your studying to end this way. He'd been your best friend since you started college, and since you had been taking a few of the same classes you got along pretty much right away. He was practically your only close friend that was at the same school, but you didn't mind at all.

Half an hour later you were both munching on delicious pizza and watching reruns of The Office. It was pretty late by now, but you curled up under the blankets with Kevin's side presses against yours on the small couch.

You hadn't even realized how late it had gotten until your head drooped down to rest on his shoulder. By now Kevin was already snoring softly, so you didn't fight the exhaustion that crept up.

———

"Crap! It's already 8:00!" Kevin hissed and jumped to his feet. Your head had still been on his shoulder, so when he got up you almost fell over.

"Kevin? What's wrong?" You yawned and rubbed your eyes. He hurried to change into a clean sweater, since he had dropped a slice of pizza on his shirt the night before.

"I forgot to set an alarm. Class starts in 20 minutes."

"What?!" You shrieked and jumped up a moment later. You both began your panicked frenzy to get ready as quickly as possible, deciding to skip breakfast and opt for a piece of gum instead of toothpaste. Approximately 4 minutes later you were both in the car and driving to school, dressed in clean clothes but in need of a shower.

Luckily your apartment was only a few minutes from the campus, so you pulled into the parking lot with a few minutes to spare. You and Kevin scrambled into the lecture hall and took your seats just as the professor was getting ready to start the lesson. You both let out audible sighs of relief, taking deep breaths to try and calm yourselves down.

Glancing around at your classmates, you felt eyes on you. A few people were looking over at you and whispering, but you had no idea why. Then the girl sitting next to you scribbled something on a scrap of paper and passed it over to you discreetly.

You took the paper and unfolded it, eyes widening when you read her small, scribbled font.

Did you and Kevin sleep together last night?

You whipped around to face the girl, face burning pink as you hissed "What the hell is this?" Under your breath.

The girl raised an eyebrow and leaned closer.

"Your clothes are all wrinkled and your hair is a mess. Plus you guys drove here together."

You couldn't form a response at that, glancing at Kevin out of the corner of your eye. Luckily he was too focused on the lesson to make out what the girl was saying.

"Hey, I'm not shaming you or anything. I went to high school with him, and I've never seen him date anyone. Just curious is all."

"No, we didn't......" you shook your head and folded up to note to stuff it in your pocket before Kevin noticed.

"He was helping me study and we fell asleep watching TV. Nothing happened."

"Oh. I thought you guys were kinda cute, too. He gets nervous around people sometimes, but he doesn't seem to get too nervous around you. It just seemed like there was something going on."

The girl shrugged and went back to listening to the lecture while you sat in stunned silence. You snuck a glance at Kevin out of the corner of your eye, fighting a smile upon seeing his messy hair that he didn't have time to comb.

Nothing had happened between you two. You had been friends for years now, ever since starting college. There were times that you wished it would progress to something more, but he hadn't exactly shown any romantic interest.

But then again, he had fallen asleep last night with his arm around you. He'd never done that before. You'd be lying if you said the idea of a relationship with him hadn't been appealing to you before. He was one of the kindest people you'd ever met, insanely smart, and although he was shy he had a good sense of humor. You practically went everywhere with him already, so you weren't surprised if people thought you were dating.

You felt a bit of heat coloring your face and looked down at the desk, watching the way his pencil moved on the paper.

Oh. Right. Notes.

You hurried to get out your binder and take notes. You started scrambling to catch up, and he slid his notebook over so you could copy things down.

"Thanks." You whispered and leaned closer so you could get a better look.

"Don't worry about it." He replied, smiling back at you. You looked up and saw the innocent grin on his face. You felt your cheeks start to burn again and focused on writing.

Your arms were practically touching again, and it only reminded you of the way you'd fallen asleep the night before.

You glanced over at the girl next to you, who winked playfully at you as if she knew exactly what you were thinking.

Maybe she had a point after all.

[benevolentsam]

For @waywardkline who is a cutie patootie <3

Jack's phone buzzed on the table. The screen flashed the name Dad and a message from him saying how much he loved Jack. A second later, it lit up again with a message telling Jack to look after himself. It made Jack's heart hurt; he missed his dads a lot and he was certain they missed him too. He didn't want to make them sad, but he felt like he was.

College was an experience though, and Jack was determined to experience it.

Jack wasn't exactly sure if he was looking after himself. Okay, he probably wasn't. When he lived at home, his dad made sure he ate vegetables and slept at the proper times. His father helped him with school work and told him how proud he was. Since getting to college, Jack hadn't had a proper nights sleep. The bed was lumpy and the sheets didn't feel as soft as they did at home.

And well, it was 9pm and Jack was sat in his little kitchenette eating sugary cereal. If his dad could see him now, Jack knew he'd throw a fit. He quickly sent a text saying he was doing well.

There was a knock on his door, and for a second Jack wondered if his dad figured out he was eating cereal for dinner. Probably not. He got up to answer the door.

"Hey, Jack!" It was Kevin Tran, his neighbour from a few doors down. When they'd all been introduced at the building's social, Kevin had been really kind to Jack. The sort of kind that made him blush when he thought about it. Kevin pushed past Jack and took a seat on his bed. "Alex is throwing a party later, I was wondering if you- if you wanna come with me." 

Jack frowned. The thought of a party, of crowds, of noisy people, it made Jack feel sick. He wanted to, because Kevin looked so excited that even he could tell he wanted to go, but he shuddered.

"I can't. I don't- I don't do well in crowds," Jack said. He kept his head down. He didn't like the thought of disappointing Kevin. Maybe he could make himself go, bite back the bile in his throat. Maybe he could pretend to be normal for once.

"Okay, we don't have to," Kevin said. His voice was so soft Jack could have cried. Kevin was the nicest person Jack had ever met.

Jack sat back down at the table. His cookie crisps had gone soggy and the milk was a shade of dishwater grey. The bowl was pulled away from him, Kevin pulling a face at it.

"Cereal for dinner?" He shook his head. "My mom would go mental if she found me eating like this, she meal prepped like a months worth of frozen dinners for me. You can't eat this, Jack. Since we're not going to Alex's, how about we go out for something to eat. A real meal."

There was something heavy in Kevin's voice, Jack couldn't quite put his finger on it. It didn't matter though, because Kevin was already grabbing Jack's coat for him. Jack dumped the bowl in the sink, slipped on his shoes, and went to grab his wallet.

"Uh-uh, my treat," Kevin smiled. So sweet of him. Jack could feel his face blushing again, something about Kevin's smile always did it to him.

Then it dawned on him.

"This is a date, right?"

"I guess so, yeah," Kevin replied, like it was easiest thing in the world. Jack had never felt his heart beat so fast. He was excited and happy and he felt like he was going to vomit. But he focused on the excitement, rushing to grab Kevin's hand. Their fingers entwined. Kevin pulled Jack along, telling him about this diner a little way away from the campus. Jack tried to listen, he did, but he couldn't think about anything other than how nice Kevin's hand felt in his. 

He would have to tell his dads about it. Maybe tell his uncle Dean first to get some advice on dating.

Confession time. . .

So, I arrived to the party late in terms of online Supernatural fandom. Certain things had already been generally accepted that I was quick to pick up on in tumblr posts and fanfiction that I wasn’t around to see first introduced. Certain characters would be linked in certain ways. And the one widely accepted mashup that I’ve struggled with most has been Adam Milligan and Kevin Tran as best friends.

Please let me explain.

I love Kevin, I love Adam, and I am not at all opposed to random mashups. Throw together any two characters in front of me, and I will puzzle out a canon-compliant way that they could have crossed paths. And no, I am not talking about AUs that put everyone in a completely new setting. I’m talking about the fics that present themselves as being canon-compliant, or post-series, that show two people—who do not so much as share a scene in the series—already enmeshed in a loving relationship, or close friendship.  

Jo and Charlie? Sure. Jo was dead by the time Charlie appeared on the series, but Charlie—otherwise known as Celeste, Carrie, Annie, Christine, and likely many other names—is implied to have traveled around a lot prior to her first appearance, jumping from place to place and alias to alias from a fairly young age. It is 100% reasonable that she might have stopped by the Roadhouse and that the two might have met. 

Metatron and Becky? Metatron is all about books, and Supernatural is a book series in-universe. Their dynamic would likely be a little problematic, since Becky loves the series, whereas Metatron thinks it’s shit, but overall, it’s not outside the realm of possibility that these two might to wind up in each other’s orbit. 

Billie and John Winchester? Well, season 6 introduced us to Dr. Roberts, a shady medical practitioner who operates without a license, who was evidently in the business of regularly rendering people legally dead for a limited amount of time, and who purportedly had a working relationship with John. It’s a bit flimsy, but it’s something that could have put John in Billie’s path.  

And so on. I sincerely don’t mind doing it. It’s fun.

But when it came to Adam and Kevin, I was always stumped. Kevin, of course, wasn’t part of Team Free Will before Adam went into the cage, and was dead by the time Adam came out. Adam was in his first year of college when he was introduced in season 4, whereas Kevin was prepping for his SATs when he made his first appearance in season 7, implying that they probably would not have gone to high school together, even if they weren’t from different states (Wyoming and Minnesota respectively, if I’m not mistaken). Additionally, Adam’s college is located in Wisconsin, whereas Kevin is very much fixated on attending one in New Jersey when we first meet him, so it’s not likely that Adam would have say, led a campus tour that Kevin would have been party to. And of course, while they were both in Hell at the same time, Adam was insolated in the cage, whereas Kevin would have been out with the masses. I just couldn’t figure it out.

And then it hit me.

The one canon-compliant way that Adam and Kevin could have become friends (to my knowledge) is for Adam and Michael to be wandering through the bunker in 15x08, trying to find their way outside, when they stumble upon Kevin’s ghost.

Because Kevin’s story ends with him as a wandering ghost in season 15, seemingly content to stay that way. But even though he seemed to be on relatively good terms with Sam and Dean when they said goodbye, ghosts are known to becomes somewhat more spiteful and irrational overtime—and not necessarily a large amount of time, either, going off Bobby’s experience. And you know who Kevin just might decide to get a little spiteful toward when his mind starts to fray?

I could just see Adam finding it hilarious that his brothers call themselves the best hunters in the world, but failed to notice a ghost haunting their house (twice). Meanwhile, as he’s talking to Kevin, Michael would be there in his head, neurotically itching to put this stray soul away, like a pair of shoes that someone had left out in the middle of a room, until Adam asks if Kevin would like a ride to Heaven.

“No, I’m good. I’m invested in seeing how many times I can take the screws out of Dean’s recliner before he realizes I’m here.”

Adam! Stray souls don’t belong on the earth! 

Calm down, let me try again.

“Okay, but how satisfying can that really be?”

“I’m also making sure everything he grills is ice cold in the center.”

Adam. . .

“. . .Right. So what are you doing to Sam?”

How many will make it out and what will be left of them?

Excerpt:

“Come on!” Castiel yells, pulling on Sarah.

“Shut up!” Sarah snaps. “Do you hear that?”

Castiel tilts his head and listens, eyes wide with fear. He hears it. A voice low and gravely, like the person has been gargling shards of glass.

“Huuuuuunnnnnnnnnggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrryyyy,”

Castiel sees a black, slimy hand slap the ground from around the corner. He watches in horror as something that looks like it used to be a man pulls itself towards him and Sarah.

“Huunnngggrrryyy,” the gaping mouth says again. Castiel is frozen with fear. He holds the scalpel Dean gave him out towards the creature.

Sam runs into Castiel and pushes him forward. “Run Cas. Run!” Sam hisses.

“There’s something coming,” Castiel whispers.

“Sssaaaammmmm,” a voice calls from down the hall. Sam looks back and sees Ruby has escaped the classroom. “Iiii jusssstt wannnnaaaa taaallkkkk, Saaamm,” she says as she stumbles down the hall.

“More than one thing is coming,” Sam says. Kevin grabs Sam and pulls him down the hallway.

“Come on!” Kevin yells. “Up the stairs. We can block the stairs.” Sam grabs Castiel’s arm and drags him down the hallway. He stumbles and Dean is suddenly there, pulling Cas to his feet.

“Don’t give up on me Cas,” Dean pleads.

Summary: Based on the movie Starter for Ten (2006). When Sam leaves for Stanford, Dean is left alone and adrift, with only their bad-tempered and absent father for company. One day, after months of no-contact, Sam invites him to visit campus on his reading week. Once Dean arrives, he's introduced to Sam's new world, and is both in awe and embittered to see the new life he's made for himself-- one that doesn't include Dean. He meets the girls Sam is interested in, campus activist Eileen and mean girl Ruby, as well as his friends and finally, his quizbowl captain, Castiel. Dean hates the pompous and arrogant Castiel at first sight and gets into a fistfight with him, ending with Sam furious and Dean fleeing. Later, Castiel calls Dean to apologize, and surprises Dean by being far more than one bad first impression made him seem. One call turns into many, and a tentative friendship forms that could spiral into something more-- that is, if Dean can learn to hold on to a good thing once he's got it.

[kariachi]

Oh look, the first ever piece of supplementary fic for the Osmobeast college au! Knew I’d write something else for it someday.

Set during their first year, a scene I always knew happened but didn’t have words for during the main story.

~~

Several months into freshman year and Kevin was already tired. Well, he was always tired, worked too hard, slept too little, put up with too much, but this one was different. It was ‘sneaking around’ tired. ‘Hiding and worrying and hiding some more’ tired. ‘Fuck being in the closet with a pineapple’ tired.

‘No plan survived contact with the enemy’, they said, and it held just as true when the plan was ‘do shit in private so nobody asks questions’. He’d dealt with enough targeted transphobia in high school, after a now-ex had, without a malicious thought in their skull, outed him, and it had seemed like it would be easier, now he wasn’t surrounded by people who’d known him since grade school and with his name legally changed as soon as he’d hit eighteen, to live openly as a guy and just keep the ‘trans’ portion shoved nice and deep in the shadows. Life was easier, in a lot of ways. No more misgendering! No more people trying to start shit! No more of fuckers who’d called him ‘Eddie’ for years without a problem suddenly deciding only his full deadname was allowed!

And all it was taking was making sure he only showered at off times and when his dormmate was out. Going out of his way to make sure that somebody he was sharing two-hundred square feet of space with never saw even a hint of a packer or binder. Making sure he only changed when said dormmate was out or asleep. He’d been right, it was very much doable, but it was tiring, and he wouldn’t, couldn’t, allow himself the calm and peace needed to make up for it on top of all his other shit.

He liked Gar too. More than liked, really, but that was beside the point. The point was, he seemed like a good guy. Trustworthy. Open-minded. Not straight, which meant nothing but did make the odds marginally better. He’d been burned before though…

In the end it was a clinging bit of hope, and the knowledge they’d be leaving on break soon so he could hopefully get another dormmate and out of sight out of mind would ring true if things went south, plus the fact his binder was actually killing him that had him finally bite the bullet. With a deep breath he turned away from his homework to Gar, laid out on his bed. He waited for the tiktok on pelicans he was watching to end before he opened his mouth.

“Hey man, can I tell you something private?” With a little concerned frown, Gar set his phone aside and sat up, legs crossed.

“Sure Kev, what’s up? You okay?” He was so sincere, was the worst part. You couldn’t not fall for a man who honestly cared about your wellbeing, which was a bitch when you were struggling to put some faith in it.

“I’m fine, yeah,” Kevin answered, resisting the urge to fidget in hopes of some comfort. “Just-” Come on, Levin, you’ve done this before, and it can’t go horribly wrong twice in a row. “Wanted to tell you I’m trans.”

“Oh,” Gar blinked in surprise a moment- ‘A+ passing ability, Levin, good job’- then smiled at him. “Okay! Take it that’s part of why you’re so private?” Baruch Hashem, that was one out of two won. Kevin nodded.

“Yeah, it is. Sneaking around is a little rough during the day though and-” he tugged at his shirt “-binder is about to be the death of me…” Eyes going wide and a hint of color coming to his face, Gar immediately scrambled to face the opposite way in the sweetest gesture Kevin had experienced in his life.

“Alright,” he said once he was aimed at the wall, “do what you’ve gotta. Hate to make you uncomfortable or anything.”

“Thanks.” Beating back the butterflies in his stomach, shucked his shirt and then binder with a relieved groan, tossing the latter on his bed with more pleasure than the simple act of not having to hide it should’ve ever had to bring. “We’re good,” he said as he pulled the shirt back on with a few deep breaths, throwing a grin Gar’s way as he turned back around.

“Great.” He grinned back at him. “I’ll admit I’m not exactly experienced with trans stuff, but if you need anything just say the word. I’ve got your back.”

“You have no idea how nice that is to hear.” So nice. “If you could just, keep quiet about it for me? Don’t know if you’ve ever been outed but, it’s really not fun.” Gar cringed.

“Never but- Damn, sorry man. You don’t do that to people.”

“You’d think,” Kevin said, letting his exhaustion with that shit shine through, “but apparently if it might give you an advantage in an argument with a transphobe my wellbeing don’t matter.” With a scowl, Gar huffed and shook his head.

“Promise you,” he said, “I won’t tell anybody shit unless you’ve specifically given me the okay.” And two out of two, he was officially the best person he’d ever met.

“Thanks, man, I appreciate it.” The room lapsed into quiet for a long moment, before Kevin broke it with a shrug and “That’s it, pretty much, I just wanted to come out, make things that bit easier.”

“Makes sense,” Gar said with a nod, grabbing his phone and beginning to settle back in as Kevin turned back to his work. “Just remember, if you ever wanna talk I’m right here.”

“Don’t worry, I will.” It was like a load take off Kevin shoulders as he focused back on the page he was working on. Being able to be open about things was going to make at least the rest of the year so much easier, and knowing he had somebody to talk to on top of it? Somebody who’d keep their mouth shut? A gift.

On the other side of the room, whatever it was Gar was doing now, it wasn’t on tiktok.

[autisticandroids]

if u pick 4 characters besides tfw for spn to be focused on which characters would that be? not that tfw aren't also focused on but other characters for a proper ensemble cast

okay so the first is easy. meg. hands down definitely meg.

second is also pretty easy. i would make mary a main character when she comes back in s12.

third is kind of a wildcard but i've thought about this a lot: linda tran. with or without kevin. i think she would really add something.

fourth... my impulse is to have rowena but if we're keeping meg i don't know, because they're very similar. my other impulse is to have kevin. but like i think both "keeping kevin a main character" and "shuttling him off to college and letting linda deal with empty nest syndrome through being a serial killer" would be interesting choices. i also think kevin could join the wayward sisters which would be fun. i think rowena would be interesting to add if we wanted themes about motherhood, like, as a linda-mary-rowena trio. so i have complex feelings on this.

like i think it also depends how and when they're added? like, i have an au where meg, kevin, and linda end up living in the bunker around s9 which i should make a post about. it's very fun it has Themes.

i also in my heart have an au where mary, linda, and rowena slowly end up living in the bunker over time, and like. explore each other's bodies themes about motherhood together.

i also love to occasionally stick kelly in the bunker in like. seasons twelve or thirteen. especially if mary is there. stay tuned for a post on this also.

on the other hand if we're looking at earlier seasons, kripke/gamble era, i would love for supernatural to have a slightly larger world, and the way this be accomplished be we spend most of our time with the brothers, but lots of our time with side stories involving bobby, ellen, and rufus, a la weekend at bobby's.

or in seasons five and six i think it would be fun to add a bunch of angels and demons to the cast. like if it's a story about the war between heaven and hell make it a fucking story about the war between heaven and hell. if it's a story about heaven's civil war make it a fucking story about heaven's civil war, you know?

anyway this is something i've thought a lot about. as you can tell.

[himbos-hotline]

Random bits of the roommate AU Ive been talking too @ambroseasylum and @shanie-the-toyaddict about [and anyone else who wants to know, cuz its living rent free in my head]

Sami has a spare room and doesnt like living alone because it makes them sad. 

He’s 19

Maddie is going up to Montreal for college/Med school cuz im indecidive. 

he/they Sami my beloved

Sami posts an ad for a roomate online and Maddie finds it and they arrange stuff and things.

Randy is not looking forward to his baby sister leaving home and gets kinda angry when she states that she had already found a place to live because he doesnt get why she applied to go into Montreal, even thought the college she got was her last choice.

Randy drives her up despite the arguments and is just listing things that Maddie could have left behind but she hasn’t.

Sami forgets the day shes appearing and forgets to clean.

When she appears, hes trying to hide dirty clothes in the kitchen counter.

Sami works part time in a pet-store when hes not wrestling.

Maddie uses she/her pronouns but doesnt care how shes referred too. 

She doesnt present very feminine at all, she doesnt get gender roles or norms like at all.

It is gonna be implied that Sami has undiagnosed ADHD because how the hell do I write neurotypicals? 

There is a scene where Sami gets injured and tries to sew himself up.

Madelyn is deaf and Sami doesn’t know sign and so carries a whiteboard around when she doesn’t have her hearing aids is so they can still communicate together.

Trans!Kevin owens. If I get hate for this I am simply going to ignore you and hope that your shower/bath is never at the temperature you like. 

Madelyn and Kevin bond over being “different” 

Sami tries [and fails] to teach Madelyn french and she tries and momentarily wins at teaching them ASL.

Maddie is in med school and works part time in the Museam gift store. 

Sami sometimes forgets that Maddie doesnt speak french or urdu and will randomly ask her things in those languages and than just smiles when she stares blankly.

Sami zayn is just a little shit and we love him for it.

Maddie randomly appears to look after the other wrestlers when theyre hurt mostly because she is in the right place at the right time.

Neither one of them can handle the cold very well, so they both have a mass of blankets on their beds.

The originally sleep in different rooms, their doors facing and Sami normally has his room pitch dark and whenever the lights are on Maddie knows something is going on. 

Maddie doesn’t like the summer and her favourite season is spring. 

Sami’s full name is Samuel. Maddie finds it kinda funny and uses it to playfully tease him.

Kevin just appears randomly and its always at the worse times for the two of them. 

Sami likes to sing but gets anxious and so only sings when he is alone/ Maddie has her hearing aids off or out. 

Sami becomes a house husband when he starts pining.

Maddie does the cleaning because he hates it.

That is it, I love this AU more than I love myself atm

I am sorry this isnt Dara content
