Summary
After Sherlock and John's reunion from the Fall, things between them are messy. John is unable to confront his feelings and Sherlock is simply miserable with the idea that he loves someone who (he thinks) not only cannot love him back but can't stand to be in the same room as him half of the time. Frustrated with the way the dwindling relationship is affecting their ability to work, Lestrade forces the two to attend couples therapy at a couples retreat.
At the retreat, they meet post-Purgatory Dean Winchester and Castiel, forced to attend by Dean's brother Sam for their inability to get over their hangups; Jack Harkness and the recently-revived Ianto Jones, who have issues with trust and lying, forced to attend by the rest of Torchwood (and the Doctor, whoever he is); and Vincent Nigel-Murray, the only one willingly attending the retreat, too afraid to stand up to his abusive boyfriend Nathan Stark.
Rated for later chapters. Johnlock is main. Snogandagrope is beta + smut patrol. (Is that a good description? Idk)

Summary
First Thursday of every month. Like clockwork. Clint would come to the bar of the hotel, and see him sitting in their booth (he thought of it as their booth, it was always the same one), and join him. There would be a drink, and quiet small talk, but mostly they would sit there and give each other suggestive glances until he would stand up and lead Clint to the door. They would go up to one of the floors, to a different identical room, and it would happen. Then Clint would get paid, give him a last kiss, and go home to let himself relax, because finally, he had some money and could pay his rent and get some food. And no one ever had to know how.

"And that right there is why we don't take the CIA seriously," Wes says, "KGB? Really? Just because I went to Russia once?"
"Right, because it's not like you guys suck so bad that even Fox News knows about it," Travis replies. "How's the Snowden thing going? Any progress?"
"Shut up," Wes says.

Summary
Professor Steve Rogers and Grad Student Tony Stark are opposite as can be. Steve's steady and quiet, Tony's flighty and loud. Steve has wine occasionally, Tony can out drink a frat house. Steve struggles with public speaking, Tony considers the world his stage. Steve wears tweed and it’s a good day if Tony wears pants.
When Tony’s Visa expires before a job opens at the University, the least likely person in the world suddenly holds the solution to his problem.
What’s a green card marriage between soon-to-be coworkers, right?
Steve and Tony mix like oil and water, like encyclopedias and nudie mags, like tweed jackets and neon pants. Therapy doesn’t help, living together through arguments suck, and faking it long enough for a green card to come seems impossible.
Then one day Steve finds out Tony likes Pina Coladas, Tony realizes Steve loves getting caught in the rain, and like an old familiar song, life falls into place bit by bit.
But after a dance that ends with a kiss, Tony abruptly vacates the city and Steve has to wonder if Tony really was only in it for the green card...
...or if the brilliant brunette had fallen for Steve, like Steve had inexplicably fallen for him.

“Yeah, not with each other,” Steve pipes up. He makes a gesture between himself and Danny, which he cuts off abruptly halfway through. He frowns like he’s afraid it might have been too suggestive. “We’ve, uh, we’ve never had sex.”
“Well, would you like to?” Loraine asks.

Summary
A new case requires inter-agency cooperation between Five-0 and the DEA. In walks Agent Mark Silver, a man who could practically be McGarrett's twin. With Catherine leaving again, Steve's been argumentative and difficult to work with and Danny, at the end of his tether, pairs with the new Agent and sparks fly. When the case takes a nasty turn and hits home (quite literally) for Danny, he needs to do everything he can to survive and get back for his son. He won't let a drug cartel stand in his way.
As Danny and Mark grow closer, Steve finally gets to grips with the emotions he's been wrestling, but his timing sucks. After months of their equilibrium thrown off, Steve and Danny go on a weekend therapy retreat as a last gasp effort to save their (work) relationship.

When a string of couples goes missing on the east coast, Dean and Cas decide to investigate—and find themselves trapped and hunted on a couples’ counseling cruise. Although battling monsters at sea is dangerous enough, sorting through emotional baggage proves to be far more deadly. (And, in which Cas embarks to find his missing grace and Dean is put out. Not necessarily in that order.)
