Summary
In the spring of 1944, the 104th Medical Battalion of the United States Army is disbanded, and its men reassigned to various infantry companies in preparation for their invasion of occupied France. For First Lieutenant Novak, this is less than helpful, as he has so far met his platoon’s designated medic a grand total of twice, and has both times found Sergeant Winchester to be the optimum combination of reckless, arrogant, and downright insufferable so as to make cohesive platoon function near impossible. When the time comes to move out, however, Castiel has to reconcile himself to the fact that men are going to go down and trust that Dean Winchester may well be the only person who can put them back together again. WW2 ETO infantry AU.

"Don't worry, Batman. I won't let him get you." Her fingers slid into his hair, what little there still is of it- scratching to his ears, familiar, and he still doesn't know if he's dreaming, if this is some kind of cosmic joke, concocted by his sleep-addled mind.
"But you're dead," he whispered, and she laughed at that and was gone, the miniature universe shrivelling away with her.

Summary
Above her the Sphinx snarls, then throws back its head and roars again, but she can barely hear it through the pounding in her head, the sound muffled beneath the beating of her heart, loud, so loud, in her ears, frantic like a drum and she times each beat to the pulse of blood that drips between her fingers. Her vision clouds, dances, grows hazy as she hits the ground, her head dizzy, the air shifting about her, time tastes heavy in her mouth, the temporal flux that surrounds them once again making itself known, and fuck, she's going to age again and die as an old woman, this is not at all how she wanted to go--
Vex'ahlia drifts into the darkness, and without an anchor she never lands.
Or, the one where the battle with the Sphinx goes poorly, and Vex is thrown, injured and bleeding out, into the past. After being saved by someone unexpected and brought to Whitestone, she must make the choice to either let fate take its course as she knows it, or to try and change the events of the past despite not knowing how it may affect the future; a choice that's complicated more than is fair by a young human lordling who is far too familiar and yet a complete stranger all at once.

Summary
The first thing that came to Zayn’s mind when he read Liam Payne’s file was that he was certainly, definitely going to die before he was thirty. The word they used in The Office for such a case was reckless; reckless meant that, perhaps, the person wasn’t at fault, but the universe and said person’s energy didn’t happen to match. That made terrible things happen to that person.
Liam Payne was a classic case of recklessness.
[or: A modern times AU where Zayn is a guardian angel and he's been sent down to protect the most reckless human he's ever met.]

Bookmarker's Notes
"But, no, I understand if there's an emergency that you have to leave for. You have responsibilities, really a bunch of them, which aren't fun at all, and it's fine."
"There will be no emergencies," Derek says firmly. In a way that probably isn't supposed to make it sound like his entire pack is currently tied up somewhere, so they can't get into trouble. Even if that is a hilarious mental image."God, I thought it was a whole training thing, so I could be more helpful the next time we end up menaced by something supernatural. I figured you brought me here on my own so the pack wouldn't laugh their asses off when I ended up sucking at everything. Which I was giving you points for by the way."
"No," Derek says. Oh, and now he's clearly pissed that Stiles is taking away his points."You're allowed to repeat things you know. We can do stuff we've already done. We could see another movie, you could pick, unless you have awful taste and then I will veto all your choices - that was a joke, stop glaring. Seriously, doing things you had fun doing the first time isn't against the rules."
Derek seems to think Stiles is teasing him, either that or he actually thinks there are rules and is pissed Stiles hasn't shared them. He probably doesn't think there are actual rules...shit, are there actual rules? Stiles isn't exactly sure about that himself.This is a completely unexpected, and almost normal, last-minute emergency. A real life emergency - though he understands that considering everything supernatural related 'not real life,' probably won't be healthy in the long run. That's just asking for the next traumatic head injury to end up convincing him that he made it all up, and then where the hell would he be?
“Seriously I'm not exactly qualified for this, but there was no one else qualified, or volunteering. Or in the general vicinity. It was a small pool of applicants is what I'm saying."
"There, you're officially a veterinary assistant's, assistant's assistant. Which I suspect means you get paid nothing at all and have to live in the basement. Also, I get to boss you around."
Derek lets him, even past when Stiles's fingers stop being helpful and just drag indulgently through his wet hair. Because he knows how much he'd miss this, if he didn't have it any more, and he hates how often Derek makes him think about that.
“I thought I was mad, but figured you get these chances in life, when if you don't take a stab at the really insane things then they definitely won't happen. But if you do - well that's immediately more than zero chance."
"I just want you to be honest, and I want you to make the big decisions too. I want to know that if I do something crazy and stupid, like fall in love with you -" he swallows the lump in his throat, stiff and aching. Because, yeah, if he does something stupid like that. "That you'll stick around, and we'll work it out, all of it. Even when it's hard and you don't want to talk about it. The parts where we're both a little messed up. Where you have intimacy issues, and I have - I don't know - issues where I don't think I'm good enough, and all sorts of ridiculous crap like that. Because I'm seventeen and you can't leave all this on me. You have to help, you have to want this too. I need you to want this enough to stick around, when it's really fucking hard as well. I need you to want this as much as..." he doesn't know how to finish that, doesn't know how to say what he means without it sounding stupid.

Summary
When another pack of werewolves descends on Beacon Hills, months after the kanima incident, Stiles knows that none of them are prepared for it. As people start dying, it becomes obvious that something has to be done if they want to survive — they have to unite. And Stiles is determined to see it happen.
He just hopes that it will be in time to save those he cares about.
OR: my take on season 3 — written before it was aired — without the Alpha Pack.
