Summary
Ottilia (Otti) Shepard woke up after being dead for two years. She was revived by Cerberus, the Council still doesn't care about her or her cause, and the Illusive Man is a dick. She's plagued with nightmares and flashbacks, often lashing out at herself for things frankly out of her control. She's able to keep this under wraps from her crew. That is, until a turian with an obsession for calibrations decides to check on her after noticing the tendency to go directly to her cabin one too many times.
(In which Shepard is a mess, Garrus panics at the thought of his best friend suffering, and they end up together. Only Shepard is still, in fact, a hot mess.)
I will make a habit of putting content warnings on chapters containing self-harm as well as an indication of which paragraph you can skip to if you don't want to read that. Please take care of yourself while you read if it's a trigger for you. I won't have it mentioned too often, but it will be in there.
One other thing, my writing style has evolved as I’ve written this fic. The first 4 chapters stick very close to cannon which means it starts slow. I apologize for that, but I promise it gets better starting at chapter 4 and only improves from there!

Summary
Castiel is a hopeless romantic who is bad at flirting and knowing when he's being flirted with, and Dean is a massive flirt with a soft spot for the awkward, charming man Sam brings to trivia one night. Idiots in love, strangers to friends to lovers, and everyone ends up happy.
Or
My take on a fluffy little Destiel AU fic in which Cas owns a bookstore, Dean owns a bar, and Sam is determined to get them together.
(Rating this as explicit because I may or may not include smut at some point.)

Summary
Hollis Blake had a difficult upbringing. An emotionally abusive and neglectful mother, an absent father, and an adoption by a terrible aunt and her family leaves them scarred in more ways than one. But art is their escape. As soon as they get the chance, they move away and into their college dorm at Seattle University, hoping for a fresh start. That fresh start comes in the form of Leena Hopper, their new roommate and an absolute ray of sunshine. The two couldn't be more opposite, and Hollis doesn't know what to make of it. Slowly, Leena cracks open their rough exterior and they become unlikely companions.
But not all stories have happy endings.

Summary
Hello! I'm going to try to post every day or almost every day this month. I found a list of five word sentences by https://creativewritingprompts.tumblr.com/ and decided to use it as inspiration for some fics in honor of Promptober. I've listed the sentence prompts in the notes section. It will most likely be different fandoms and/or ships throughout the prompts. Just trying to have fun with it. I hope you guys enjoy!

Summary
The officer stares at him without blinking and Carwood doesn't think anyone has ever looked at him so intensely before. He thinks maybe he should be intimidated but… he’s not. Definitely not. Instead, he’s painfully aware, in a way he hasn’t been since he was first going through puberty, that he’s an omega.
(Years from now, Carwood will look back at this moment with clear eyes and know. Know that there was really only ever one outcome. That the point of no return had somehow already passed.)

Summary
Benny reached across, touched his fingers lightly to Dean’s where they held his bottle. Dean’s eyes flicked up to his, pupils dilating slightly and fingers twitching under Benny’s, like he had trouble keeping them still. Benny was fascinated. He thought he’d learned Dean’s reactions pretty well in that year together, but this was… something different. He rubbed his thumb over one of Dean’s knuckles, watching his eyelids flutter a little before he turned his face away, swallowing.
Benny leaned toward him, studying his profile, the tension in his jaw. “What’s goin’ on with you, cher?”

Summary
Dean didn’t expect to make it out of Purgatory, much less that his life would get even more complicated than it had been before. With Cas dead and Sam making everything into a fight, Dean decides to partner up with Benny, determined to turn the vampire into a hunter yet.
The side effects that follow definitely aren’t the expected results.
