Summary
Yeah this is something new im trying out. It might be fun.
In this AU Dirk is a neanderthal of sorts. He wears a dinosaur for clothing. Velociraptor mongoliensis to be exact. (like this http://sta.sh/0256ct339cux ) John finds him, or rather Dirk finds John while the boy was on his way back home from Dave's place. John is then followed home after feeding the crazy spaz dino boy. At first John was completely against the idea of keeping another human as a pet like figure. But after Dirk's show of capable intelligence and human speech, John decided to give it a shot. No one really knows where he came from or how he came to be, either way he’s totally Wild. -

He wakes up.
It is not the first time, but he is not dead (he didn't count on that). His father is with him, looking worn out and tired, but he smiles.
The pack is there too, grasping his hands and taking his pain, touching his skin as if they want to make sure he is alive.

Good Things Do Happen – Dr. Sexy Edition by MashiarasDream, tinnydandelion

Summary
Dean has hit rock-bottom when he wakes up from a coma after causing an accident while driving drunk. He doesn’t see that it's rock-bottom, though. He believes he's still in free-fall because the darkness that has killed John Winchester and has almost claimed Dean’s life, too, is all he can see.
But then Dr. Novak steps into his life, a guiding light in Dean’s darkest hour, and no one can blame him if he notices just how attractive the doctor is. If it only weren’t for the problem that he’s falling hard for this man, which will most certainly lead to a broken heart and more whiskey. Because that’s what happens when a washed up drunk like Dean Winchester falls for a doctor who is sexier than Dr. Sexy. Or isn’t it?
Then there are also Dr. Novak’s brother Gabriel, who isn’t ashamed of watching Dr. Sexy, and Balthazar, who has a tendency to blurt out the most inappropriate comments at the most inopportune times. And of course don't forget the issue of family. Because Sammy is in Stanford and better off without Dean. And Dean is happy for him, he really is, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t still hurt. Or that it doesn’t have to be dealt with if Dean really wants to take up the fight and heal. -

Summary
The ladies at the local yarn shop knew him by name now. Sometimes, he sat in one of the ancient soft armchairs in the store with them, frowning at his work as he struggled to maintain his tension.
“How’s it coming?” Edith asked, settling across from him in another chair, working on a delicate lace shawl with a pattern Derek couldn’t even fathom yet.
“It’s… better.” He hedged.

Summary
But her big brother’s unwillingness to touch anyone, like he thinks he doesn’t deserve it isn’t the only thing she notices. She also notices how Stiles doesn’t touch him.
Everyone reaches for Derek in some form or another, but Stiles- Stiles is something different altogether because he reaches for Derek but he never makes contact.
He’ll be trying to shimmy past Derek and instead of putting a hand on his arm like most of them do, he’ll reach out with a hand and stop it scant centimeters away from Derek’s skin.
Or they’ll be walking alongside each other and Stiles will hover a hand on Derek’s lower back.
It’s both fascinating and tragic to watch, like NASA lost control of one of their robots and instead of it landing on the moon it’s fated to gravitate around it.

You never let yourself have the time to do the same. There was so much to take care of anyway. Before you knew it, months went by and the storm calmed down. Peace finally settled on the town. There was nothing to sustain your denial, not that your mind didn't make a desperate effort to try. So what was left to do if not crumble?

Summary
Derek stands frozen for a moment, disbelieving, before his hands come slowly forward. Its fur is surprisingly soft, and he buries his fingers in it as he strokes his way down its back. He catches its hindquarters on instinct when it springs out of the cage and onto his chest, shoving it face cold nose-first into the crook of his neck, and beneath the rumble of its purrs Derek can still make out the careful ticking of its heart.
If he leaves it here, it's going to die alone. It's a sentence he knows all too well.
“What sort of paperwork do you need me to fill out?”

When Dream feels his heart rate speed up at the end of George's Livestream, he knows he's too far gone.
"This feels so wrong," George says and repeats. Dream clicks off the stream, the sounds of labored breathing filling the room as he tried to stem the panic he was feeling.
The next day, after he had just barely dragged himself away from the edge of oblivion and heartache he would never return from, he felt the first tickle at the back of his throat. He coughed roughly, it sounded like he had fluid in his lungs or something. Pneumonia, maybe?
But instead of coughing up mucus or phlegm, his eyes widened in shock at the taste of blood in is mouth.

“The place you give the Bite has meaning," Derek says. "Biting someone on the side is to make them your beta. It makes them your subordinate, but it also invites them into the pack with the full protection of the alpha. Biting someone on the legs indicates that you’re turning them to an omega. And biting someone on the arm, particularly the wrist, turns someone as your equal. It’s a mating ritual.”
Stiles nearly chokes on a mouthful of granola. “A what?”

Summary
Bucky doesn't understand why no one ever says anything about Tony's PTSD.
A year after they have all come back, after they all hugged and made up, Tony is still jumping anytime someone speaks to him. His hands shake when Steve raises his voice. All he does is work and drink and apologize for being around.
And nobody notices except Bucky, because he is looking. Constantly. Watching Tony as he goes through his day to day.
Bucky looks and LOOKS, until he is having a hard time even wanting to look away from short spiky hair that begs to be mussed, deep brown eyes that always looks so sad, and perfect lips that Bucky just wants to kiss forever.
Bucky looks for so long that now all he wants to do is touch and hold and fix everything. But Tony can barely be in the same room as Bucky, cant even look him in the eye.
So Bucky doesn't know what to do about Tony, but he is determined to do something.
Because all he wants is to look at Tony, and see Tony looking back with a smile.(re-editing and dividing into chapters)
