Summary
Dean finds an interesting symbol in Kevin's angel tablet notes and, against Sam's counselling, uses it in the heat of battle with a pair of angelic assassins. Side effects include pain, disorientation, and uncontrollable new appendages for the Winchesters. A disgruntled Castiel and a delighted Gabriel show up to help. Hunting (and life) gets interesting when wings are involved. Includes artwork!
(Both relationships are featured in detail, but the plot happens to be *slightly* more Sabriel-driven.)

Summary
When the attempt at healing Uther backfires and kills him instead—thereby reinforcing Arthur’s hatred of magic—Merlin decides that the time has come to give up on destiny and leave Camelot before he can make things even worse. After giving up his magic so that it might guard the citadel in his absence, he sets out for Ealdor for some much-needed rest. He is pleasantly surprised when Gwaine rides out after him to escort him on the journey. The question is why…

Summary
Hob seemed to be the only one to notice him, the older looking man drifting in and out of the funeral, disappearing in between moments, never in the same space as one of The Endless.
One chance meeting later, Hob petitions Time to send him back to try and change Dream’s fate. Betting on the immortal’s inevitable failure and being an absolute arse of a cosmic being, Time does send him back. A few thousand years too early.
Or—
Sometimes altering the past makes everything worse before it gets better.
Alternatively titled: Hob’s semi-accidental sexcapades through time while desperately attempting to change history so Morpheus doesn’t die.

Giving Sanctuary by Avelera for Steerpike13713

Summary
In 1689, Hob Gadling and Dream meet once more, after Hob has lost everything. That night, their meeting goes on longer than expected when the conversation turns to what it means to live, to lose, and to be the fathers of dead sons. Unable to bear the thought of sending a man who so echoes Dream's own grief back into the night alone, Dream breaks his own rule and invites Hob to stay with him for a time, at least until he can get back on his feet.
The story of two grief-stricken, divorced, and widowed fathers to sons they lost too young truly seeing one another and there, at their lowest point, doing their best to put themselves and each other back together.

Summary
"Flying was everything I had ever wished for, and more. It’s one of the best experiences I ever had in my long life, even though it was during wartime.”
Hob goes on to explain how much fun he’d had in gliders between the two wars, and how he’d been a pilot again during World War 2. He describes the race to space, and how it had really wrenched his heart that he could not take part in it. It would have been way too dangerous for his anonymity.
“And that’s why, when the 21st century started, I decided I wanted to understand how it worked. I got a degree in aeronautics, and before I knew it I was in the middle of a PhD. That’s how I became a physicist.”
“I remember recruiting two physicists in 1909, to work for me," Dream says pensively. “Henri Bénard and Theodore von Kármán.”
Hob’s eyebrows lifts.
“You had a bit of a vortex problem?”---
Or, Hob decided to study aerodynamics, and uses his knowledge to investigate the phenomenon of the dream vortex. And falls in love in the process.

“When you died,” Hob said. “How old were you?”
“Sixteen.”

Edwin shrugged. “Life is, I’m afraid,” he said.
“Can be wonderful, too,” Hob said. “I promise.”- Language:

Summary
On a dark night long ago, Sirius Black took a wrong turn and never found Peter Pettigrew. Instead of Azkaban, Sirius settled down in Little Whinging to keep an eye on his godson, and hired Remus Lupin to run his bookshop for him. Then one day when Harry was eight, Sirius found out how the Dursleys treated him, and stole him away.
Stealing Harry is an alternate universe version of Harry Potter's life before his time at Hogwarts. It is the story of Harry's family: Sirius and Remus, Ted and Andromeda, Nymphadora, Neville Longbottom, and even Severus Snape, all banded together against a newly powerful Peter Pettigrew who is still searching for a way to resurrect Voldemort.
Laocoon's Children follows Harry through his time at Hogwarts as he develops a very different group of friends: Hufflepuff Draco Malfoy, Ravenclaw Padma Patil, and Gryffindor Neville Longbottom, strange companions for a Harry who was sorted into Slytherin -- the house of his beloved Professor Snape.
This universe ends in Harry's third year, and is partially incomplete. As it is not likely to be finished, the last story in the series is a group of notes I made on where the story would have gone and how it would have ended.

Summary
It's the first winter after Pitch's defeat. Jack is happy, he's not alone anymore, and his memories are gradually returning. But when a treasure hunt gone wrong puts Jack and Jamie in danger, flinging them through time and space, they find themselves on an island neither of them have heard of before. Jack's first priority is to get Jamie home safe, but Berk's inhabitants - human and otherwise - are certainly not making it easy.
Knowing they will leave Berk and the Vikings behind as soon as they know how to, Jack is not going to risk the pain of growing close to any of these people (or dragons, for that matter). But Hiccup Horrendous Haddock, wearing his heart on his sleeve, doesn't seem to want to take the hint.

Summary
The Dead Boy Detective Agency is trying to find a way to bring Niko back. They need to find a way to contact an obscure bear goddess, which leads them back to the only god-adjacent creature they know who might actually help them.
“The bloody Cat King. I thought we were done with that prick once we left Port Townsend,” Charles grumbled.
“I know,” Edwin sighed wearily, as this was the third variation of the same rant in the last twenty minutes. "And I know you will never be fond of him, but he is fond of me, and I am almost certain we can ask him for information without him wanting to extract too troublesome a toll.”
“Fine,” Charles huffed irritably. “But I’m coming with you.”
“Of course,” Edwin smiled fondly. “I wouldn’t dream of trying to convince you otherwise.”

When I Didn't Know The Answer, I Found It In Your Eyes by ironfamjam for muguetmuse

Summary
“It was never supposed to end like this. You were both meant for such happier things.”
“I was always meant to be a tragedy.” Arthur disagrees.
“Dearest darling, you are the king of kings, this will not be your end.”
With Arthur's death comes a single chance to go back to the beginning and save everyone he's ever loved. Seeing home in Merlin's eyes and a hope for a better world in Morgana's, Arthur knows what he must do.
Only bringing magic back to Camelot will prevent the future he knows is coming from happening, but in his way is the only mountain he's never been able to climb; his father won't change for anyone, not even for his son.

Summary
Emma almost has everything. She's got a wonderful son, a beautiful, tender friend and co-parent, and a family she can count on. It was all she ever dreamed of, once upon a time. At times, she thinks she finally understands what authors mean when they end their story with: they lived happily ever after.
But the feeling always leaves her by the morning. Sometimes she thinks her real happy ending has disappeared somewhere in the past, somewhere in between the curses and forgotten memories. And now it is only a possibility lost to her memories.
If she could go back...
(or in other words, season 6 emma goes back in time and accidentally makes season 1 regina fall in love with her.)

Summary
“Many travelers feel nervous about accepting rides for the same reason,” Hannibal says. “There is uncertainty on both sides of the equation. I have no way of knowing if you’re dangerous, just as you have no way of knowing if I’m, say–” He hesitates, licking his lips, and pushes the envelope. “A serial killer, for example.”
Will snorts his laughter, shifting to tuck his hands under his arms. “Come on,” he says, turning his head to look over at Hannibal. “The chances of two serial killers being in one car would be astronomical.”
Inspired by the tweet. You know the one.

So, the first thing that happens is Castiel comes back.

"Right," Dean says eventually, gruffly. He looks down at his shoes. "I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life, man. It's—you know, yours. Do your thing, love who you love, whatever. I can't really stop you from loving me, if that's what you've decided to do, but I don't—I can't—"
"I know," Castiel murmurs, still just smiling a little, not looking heartbroken at all. "Don't worry about it, Dean, that's all I ask."
"So we're—" Dean risks a glance up, swallowing thickly. "We're good?"
Castiel hums. "We're good."
