Summary
Remember, all the government posters say, it was the Marked that destroyed the world.
The Old World was lost to famine and calamity and a new, harsher one has risen in its place. Cities divided into sectors, ruled by a king and his chaebol court - where the Marked are marginalized, struggling to eke out a living in poverty and oppression, and one mistake gets you sanctioned into government service forever.
But a revolution is stirring in the shadows and everything is about to change.
(Or: Hoseok runs an underground radio program; Namjoon and Seokjin dream of building a better world from their elite, gilded cage; Taehyung and Jimin desperately search for lost family; and Yoongi and Jungkook are just trying to survive.)

Summary
"How far would you go to be free?"
The year is 2042. Technology has evolved to the point where human-like androids are everywhere. Invented by Chuck Shurley, the androids, which were christened "Angels", talk, walk, and behave like human beings. But they are considered nothing more than machines made to serve. When the Angels start behaving as if they have free will, events begin to spin out of control.
Dean Winchester, a grizzled, alcoholic lieutenant that hates Angels, is assigned to the case.
And his new partner? An emotionless Angel named Castiel.
Clearly, they're a match made in Heaven.

Perhaps picking up the art of red magic wasn't her best idea.

Summary
What if 6000 years of mutual pining isn't enough and we get to have more? Supernatural entities can be as oblivious as the rest of us. Sometimes, even more so.
Or, more plainly put:
This is going to be the slowest of slowburns.
Anathema, Adam and Warlock want those two walking disasters getting together.
Unfortunately, our main protagonists are being rather dense.
Also unfortunately both Heaven and Hell want to see them punished for what they did.
Actually, Heaven a lot more then Hell, seeing as angels are being a bunch of holier-than-thou knobs.Later edit: Since we're soon reaching the end I will update whatever happens in the last chapter posted, so here goes: The God & Crowley chapter that no one asked for but I'm writing anyway.

Summary
“Alright Cas, here comes the hard part. We’re gonna get you out of here, but we’ve gotta take the roof off and while we do that, we’re gonna have to cover you with a sheet to protect you from the glass. I’ll be right here though. I’m not going anywhere.”
As he starts to drift away, he suddenly feels the press of Dean’s forehead against his own through the rough fabric and hears that warm, sunlit voice murmer quietly in his ear, too low to be overheard by the firefighters currently working to remove the SUV’s roof, “Stay with me, Sweetheart.”
A single moment's distraction ends with a serious car accident that leaves Castiel trapped in his vehicle. Fortunately for him, fire fighter Dean Winchester is there, never leaving Castiel's side as the rest of his company work to free him from the mangled remains of his SUV.
When the two meet again in the ICU, Castiel finds himself just as drawn to and comforted by the handsome fireman as he was during his accident. Dean is certainly attractive, but single father Castiel doesn't have time or space in his life for a romantic relationship.
Then again, there's no harm in making a new friend, is there?

Summary
Waking up was normally cold- he lived in a big house, and even when friends filled up all of the rooms surrounding him, he was normally alone in his bed. This time, though- the soft sounds of the tv’s music, Ethan’s subtle snores from the side of him- the world didn’t feel so cold. The thought suddenly struck him: He wanted that for the rest of his life.
He jolted into awareness as soon as the thought entered his head, taking stock of the situation, trying to play off his own feelings. Ethan’s hand was strewn over the couch to encompass Mark, with his head slumped over in a way that couldn’t be comfortable. Seeing Ethan like this felt incriminating. It felt like he was crossing some sort of unspoken line; like he wasn’t allowed to see this Ethan, but he would be damned if he didn’t soak it in. Because this would make great joke material, that is. Not because he liked seeing how soft the tresses of Ethan’s hair looked, or how kissable those fucking lips were. Sometimes he just felt like something that gorgeous had to be a sin.
God, if Ethan was a sin Mark was so ready to go to hell.
aka: Mark represses his feelings. It backfires.

Okay, I’m gonna try and tell y'all this story right.
I'm bipolar. What am I supposed to think when I wake up in a medical bay on the Supremacy, and everyone thinks I’m incredibly strong with the Force? Like, either I am in the self-insert fanfiction of my dreams, or I’m having the best manic episode I’ve ever had in my life.
Yeah. It didn't really work out like that.

Summary
Izuku Midoriya’s life is one of boring modernity, with seemingly little going for him as a quirkless teen in a super-powered world. But, after a chance meeting with the pro-hero Eraserhead radically alters his view of heroics and himself, Izuku must adapt to his new life after he develops a strange arachnid-based quirk. Forging a strong social connection with multiple heroes in training, maintaining his grades, and juggling life as a high-school vigilante redefines Izuku’s life into a daily tight rope act. And that’s not even counting the super-villains!
An AU blending elements of Marvel comics with the BNHA Universe on top of a canon divergence where Izuku never met All Might, Izuku is in for a world of discoveries as he slowly takes on the title of the Spectacular Spider-Man.
