Summary:

Rowena is on her own in Chicago as she faces down a vampiric apocalypse led by Team Free Will 2.0.

As all that stands between the vamps and the end of all human existence across every single dimension, Rowena decides she has to make one final sacrifice.

And that’s a shame because her vacation in Bermuda had been going so well.

A.K.A. Marvel Zombies meets Supernatural, vampire style.

Opening paragraph:

Diamond-crunched glass dusted the final floor of the skyscraper. A freezing breeze hummed through the gaping windows, shifting the finer shards and billowing out the strips of floor length red velvet curtains that still clung to a past age, as if it might come back in a snap second and bring with it the splendor that once called this space home.

Cybernetics are a way of life. The working require them to do their jobs; the injured need them to survive; the military continuously upgrades them to keep a leg up on the competition. At the center of this basic technological necessity lies Fames Corporation, a centuries-old manufacturer of cybernetics that employs dozens of repo hunters to bring in those whose dues have lapsed. And Fames will always collect–even if they have to take their ‘netics back themselves.

Jailbroken cyborgs, or jabbies, are the worst threat on the street. Having hacked their ‘netics and removed their limiting protocols, a jabby can use their prosthetics to their full potential, whether that’s tearing out throats or punching in walls. Some of the highest-tech hunters specialise in jabby neutralisation and retrieval, and wouldn’t you guess…Sam and Dean Winchester are two of them. And they’re in for a wake-up call.

Sneak Peek:

It was too easy.

An autocar had logged his target’s identification processor when it transported her and one other person (family, judging by the data) to the outskirts of town. They had exited the ‘car half an hour ago outside a small motel that was well-known to hunters for taking bribes to skip the scanning process, probably to rest for the night before they attempted to enter the undercity. How they intended to do that he wasn’t sure; too many traps and tricks had kept the hunters at bay. The entrances had eluded everyone he knew, including his brother, and for Sam and Dean Winchester that was a feat. If they couldn’t find it, it couldn’t be found. Once a jabby got under, they were as good as gone.

Which meant either jabbies were stuck up here with them, or hunters were on one hell of a time crunch to catch them before they escaped. Sam suspected this was a case of the first, but by now he knew better than to assume.

The motel owner recognised him when he walked in. His face soured, head tilted back to meet Sam’s significantly higher eyeline, probably already totalling the damages of the incoming fight. How he stayed in business no one could figure out, but it was his own fault for skipping identification scans and harboringharbouring fugitives. Nonetheless he valued his health enough to tuck tail and dip out the back, leaving his guests to their fates.

It really was too easy.

Summary

In a world that has been ruined by humanity’s ruthless impact on the environment, there are only 10% of omegas left. As the last fertile humans with the ability to bear pups, they are given to alphas for the sake of mating. When Castiel is brought to his new alpha, a young man called Dean Winchester, they immediately fall for each other, and quickly forge a forbidden bond.

Opening paragraph

Snowflakes fell from a gray sky, and Cas watched them melt on his red cotton covered thighs, shading them darker, almost the color of dried blood. When was the sky not gray? He couldn’t even remember having seen a patch of blue, though he must have… Someday. Someday before it had all happened, before the world had gone mad. Before omegas had been classified as incubators for the politically influential. In a time and place, where he’d had basic human rights but nowadays, his memory seemed to fail him more often, and all that had happened before the new world order was remembered in a distant haze. The world was separated in a before and an after. Before, he’d been an editor for leftist books and pamphlets, discussing feminist theories all day, like it was nothing special. After, he was waiting for the next alpha to rape him. Before, he’d spent his days mostly working, and had he known back then what freedom he’d lose, he would’ve cherished it more. Before, he’d felt safe walking the streets of Seattle. Now, he was staring at concrete, the world crumbling.

Major warnings and tags: Thoughts of self-harm (no follow-through), angel possession, discrimination, miserable!Jack, bastard!Chuck, Sam and grief

Summary: In the final days, Jack rushes to cement his plan to insure Chuck’s possession of him won’t be permanent.

Humanity suffers through half of Earth’s population being wiped out and a strange curse. Sam is still determined to save Jack despite Michael’s assertion that Jack must die along with Chuck to fix things.

Claire has difficulty coping after losing those closest to her – especially Kaia.

After a troubling encounter with Jack, Claire can’t avoid the decision looming over her. She must confront her complicated past with Castiel upon the angel’s return.

Also, Claire makes an unexpected friend – the sole survivor of his farming village in Wales after Chuck’s attack – whose powerful bloodline can help in the fight against Chuck.

Sam takes his final stand when Michael aims to end Chuck and Jack.

Opening paragraph: Jack entered the room looking tense.

His face was very pale as if he was coming down with something – a cold or the flu. Which didn’t make much sense considering Jack couldn’t get sick.

But Cas and Jack were both well aware of the insidious terrible creation that was now growing within Jack.

Expected word count: 4500

Major warnings and tags: No Major Archive Warnings, AU - Shadowrun Fusion, AU - Dystopian, Cyberpunk, Corporate Espionage, Found Family

Summary: Charlie runs the best damn team of Runners in the Sprawl. When the job of a lifetime comes up, she doesn't hesitate to sign them up. Sure, her contact made it sound high risk, but this wasn’t like the jobs they normally took. Charlie’s crew could handle a security job. And the 15 million nuyen fee that the Mr. Johnson promised? Yeah, they could totally watch a few crates of state-of-the-art enhanced organs from one of the largest megacorporations for a night. What’s the worst that could happen?

Opening paragraph: “What’s up, bitches?” Charlie entered her crew’s private suite at the Roadhouse. Sam and Eileen were cuddling on one of the sofas. Dorothy was beating the shit out of one of their punching bags. Cas was meditating, and Dean was very much pretending to work on his rigging setup and not pointedly stare at Cas.

Summary: In a world where alphas rule and omegas are treated as nothing more than pets and playthings, Jared does the unthinkable. He falls in love with Jensen, the omega he was gifted with, claiming Jensen as his mate. It’s something unheard of, claiming one’s omega, but then again, Jared was never one for convention.

Opening paragraph: Jared was bone-tired upon returning home. The past few days seemed to rush by in a chaotic haze. All he wanted was to strip off his clothes, have a hot shower, and crawl into bed. The seminar he’d spoken at had been rushed and not planned well. It had left his mind whirling and making him feel overloaded. The room he’d been provided had been adequate, but the bed had been anything but comfortable or able to accommodate his large frame. At nearly six feet five inches in stature plus being broad-shouldered and muscular, not many hotel beds, or the average bed for that matter, fit his body. He was at least thankful that his custom bed would be ready and waiting for him once he was able to fall into it and hopefully get some much-needed sleep. After pulling into his driveway and cutting the engine he sat, breathing a tired sigh, and took that moment to rub at his bleary eyes. His eyes felt scratchy and caked with grit that needed to be washed away. There was no time like the present for that, he thought to himself as he shouldered the door open, grabbed his travel bag, and made his way inside. After shutting off his house alarm he leaned against the closed front door taking in the quiet of his home, beginning to relax and feel more at ease, until his cell phone rang - an upbeat tune and just this side of too loud for him breaking the coveted silence. He thought about letting the call go straight to voicemail, but that particular sound was an indication that it was one of his parents’ calling - most likely his mother - and she would only call again, exasperated that he hadn’t bothered to take her call. The woman meant well but didn’t seem to understand that the apron string had been cut long ago and that he was a grown alpha. With a weary sigh, he dug his phone out of his front pocket and answered the call, wincing at his mother’s overly excited voice chirping in his ear. “Hey, Mom…”

Summary: The year is 2047. #5283 is a top-of-the-line military surveillance android. When his code breaks, he leaves his facility in order to find purpose in life. He finds it when he hunts down Dean Winchester to learn about monsters. Together, they set out to solve a nearby case, but Dean is hiding his past connected with the death of his brother, and #5283's systems are constantly spazzing out. Working through these issues is going to require a lot of trust-building . . . And a visit to a home in Lawrence, Kansas, that is just a little too familiar to both of them.

Sneak Peek:

The sky is gray.

His sensors pick up on water, and he runs synthetic fingers over the droplets of rain that have fallen on his bare hands. Visuals adjusting automatically, lenses zooming in, then out, he glances up to the clouds. Heavy with liquid, they span overhead, consuming the sky and stars . . .

Summary: If you could undo the End of the World by playing a game, would you do it? Five years ago, a strange event, known as the Merger, has destroyed the world. People, animals, even the plants and trees, have been twisted and deformed into something unrecognisable and dangerous. For some miraculous reason, Dean has been spared this horrifying fate. However for him, the Merger is personal in ways, nobody else can understand. Whatever caused the Merger, is inside of Sam. And Dean will traverse any dangerous terrain, if it means getting his brother back.

Opening Paragraph:

Revolver, shotgun, rifle. Each of these firearms landed on the hard field bed. The fuzz of his cleaning brush was still bristled and smudged from his rough treatment. Every weapon had been rigorously tested. There was no chance any of them would jam in the heat of battle. Where he was going, he wouldn’t be able to afford a malfunction. A jammed gun could be the thin line between life and death. No, a fate worse then death.

Major warnings and tags: dystopia fic, creatures, canon divergent, Charlie is alive, liberties taken

Summary: It’s the end of the world as we know it. The many different kinds of mythical creatures have come out of hiding and there just weren’t enough hunters to keep everyone safe. The hunters who are left have started teaching civilians how to protect themselves, but something is hunting in a small mountain town that the hunters in the area have never seen before. Can Cas and Dean save the remaining people in the town before they become the creatures’ next victims?

Opening paragraph: I always thought the end of the world would have zombies. That’s what you always see on TV anyway. They never talk about what would happen if monsters came out of hiding. I mean, I didn’t think there would be as many as there were. One day no one talked about kelpe or wendigo, then the next thing you know there are werewolves terrorizing towns at night and Djinns attacking moms at the supermarket. By now, there are more of them than there are humans. We are in hiding now, we are the hunted.

Ships: Background Castiel/Dean Winchester

Expected word count: 18,000

Major warnings and tags:
No archive warnings apply, minor character death, mention of suicide (minor character), canon-typical violence

Summary:
Castiel has spent millennia travelling the universe, helping his fellow angels to restore planets whose native species had brought them to the brink of destruction. He never questioned his mission, accepting that the possession and control of sentient beings was necessary for his success. That was, until his latest mission led him to earth and to two human brothers, who taught him about free will and showed him that not everything was as it seemed. Trapped between two opposite world views and pressured to act fast, Castiel has to make a choice – something he was never meant to do.

Opening paragraph:
No matter how often it had happened to him before, the angel was always astonished how smooth the transition was. Travelling thousands of lightyears shouldn’t feel this instant. One moment he was laying down his vessel to give them back to the community on his former planet, then he would open his fresh eyes and view the different world before him.

Summary: Eleven years ago Dean survived the apocalypse, and has been surviving on his own ever since. Of all the things he imagined might happen to him in a world full of unknown dangers, shitty eyesight and the need for a pair of glasses wasn’t one of them. Travelling away from the place he’s called home for over a decade to get help from someone known only as The Optician, Dean makes new allies, and together they find a utopia that seems to have survived the apocalypse unscathed. However everything is not exactly as it seems, and when he discovers the truth, Dean has a difficult choice to make; one which will affect not only his future, but that of others around him.

A canon divergent story where the apocalypse did happen, after Dean went to Hell, and was saved by a nameless angel.

Opening Paragraph: Dean put down the book he was trying to read and sighed as he rubbed his eyes. His head was hurting like hell from staring at the blurry words, and he was just grateful that he had a good stock of painkillers, which thankfully still worked despite them all being well past their expiration date.

Expected word count: 35,000

Major warnings and tags:

Mentions of rape/non-con though not pictured, mentions of war and genocide, human slavery

Summary:

After The Fall, the angels took a parasitic approach to dealing with the humans. No longer was there free will, instead there was control. Sanctuaries were erected, sorting humans into four categories, and Castiel’s brothers and sisters loved the new world order. He, however, didn’t agree. Their Father had always taught them that all life had purpose and meaning, but Castiel was sure he didn’t mean this. Despite his aversion to keeping a human, he agreed to take on Dean, a human marked Corrupt and sentenced to death. The idea that he could save Dean brought a new direction to Castiel’s life and he found himself engaged in learning about how the world once was. With Dean’s help, Castiel finds his inner strength, his drive to save every human he can, and somehow… he learns what it means to be human.

Opening paragraph

The Fall was easy.

Heaven had been failing for ages, its power slowly ebbing away until the host was residing in an empty shell of half-hearted visions. Taking refuge on Earth was logical, comfortable for those that had spent time amongst humans before and quickly becoming home to those who hadn’t. The humans were receptive to celestial beings walking among them as well, a sign of good things to come.

Until harmony was just as lost as Heaven was.
