    Summary

    I heard a rumor that Misha was originally told that he would be playing a demon when given the chance to audition for Supernatural. So, it got me thinking. How would the show have turned out if Castiel was a demon that pulled Dean from the depths of hell?

    Summary

    Dean is a sheriff in a tiny town in Colorado, restless and unsatisfied with his life. It's not like what he's read about in the dime novels since he was little, capturing dangerous outlaws and being the last word of the law. More like tossing the town drunk in a cell to sober up when they get a little too rowdy.
    But Dean's chance comes when a thief rolls through their town. He pursues the thief, which puts him right into the path of Emmanuel, a notorious outlaw. When he is captured by the outlaw and his gang to be held for ransom, Dean starts off on a journey he could have never envisioned, and learns that perhaps there's more to Emmanuel than meets the eye.

    Summary

    Ed is an engineer aboard the Revenge, an interplanetary research vessel on a multi-year mission to study Jupiter's moon Europa. An accident requires that Ed awaken from cryostasis over six months early, and finds his only companion to be Stede, the ship's onboard AI. They develop an unconventional friendship, but is it possible to have more?

    This is classic mutual pining with a sci-fi twist, inspired by all of my favorite stories about the nature of personhood.
    -----
    “You–” Ed was struggling to parse what Stede was saying. “You’re playing your version of this song for me, right now? Like, in real time?”

    “Yes, Edward, that’s correct,” said Stede softly.

    Ed’s brain momentarily seized up. He supposed it made sense that Stede was capable of learning a set of rules to do something like arrange and play a piece of music. There was something unnerving about this song, though. It felt, well–it felt organic . Reactive. Almost collaborative in a way. Ed was lost in the push and pull of it, until the last notes softly petered out.

    “So, what did you think?” asked Stede. It sounded nervous again. Why the hell would someone program an anxiety response into a bot?

    Summary

    Hannibal catches the exact moment when Will’s eyes widen. 

    “Hannibal, your 7 o’clock,” he whispers, leaning across the table to close the short distance between them. “Unwanted company.” 

    Hannibal meets his partner’s eyes under his boater hat and gives a nod, so slight that only Will would notice. He waits a minute, eats another mouthful of his meal, then looks to his left, lifting an arm as if to brush a speck of dust off his shoulder. What he’s really doing is covertly glancing at the man loitering at the souvenir stand in the street behind them. 

    -----

    Hello! We are finally back with the sequel. Hannibal and Will have managed to escape to Cuba after wreaking havoc in Florence. But unfortunately, trouble follows them, in the form of Mason Verger seeking revenge for his disfigured face. Can our beloved Murder Husbands successfully beat this new threat, while navigating their evolving relationship?
