Summary
After a harrowing near-death experience and a romance that changed everything he knew about himself, Steve Harrington is doing just fine, thank you. But when a simple errand with Dustin Henderson turns into a trip through time to the days of Will's disappearance, he has to navigate through battles of the past, friends unaware monsters exist, and a Steve Harrington he can barely recognize.
A revisitation of Season One that grabs themes (and some characters) from later seasons, with lots of Dustin-Steve bonding, mistaken identity, DnD metaphors, El being El, Steve and Robin vibing early, and homeschool for the temporally displaced.
Now complete! We have French, Spanish, and Portugese-speakers who've read and reviewed this fic. If anyone is interested in translating, please let me know.

Summary
When a frightened Trixie calls Dan from Rome, he knows he's going to have to pull himself together to be there for her. And when she demands Lucifer come too, Dan knows he'll need to rein in his rage at Lucifer for Charlotte's death.
But he could not have imagined what it would feel like to try and rescue Trixie from Chloe, a still-besotted Lucifer Morningstar at his side, in one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in the world.
A travel story, a love story, and a reckoning with too much and too little faith.

Summary
“I just confessed to not being able to score,” said Ray. “That’s supposed to be embarrassing.”
“Personal relationships are not a game.”
Ray blew out a rueful–sounding breath. “You never heard of first base, second base, playing for both teams?”
“I’m broadly familiar with the metaphor,” Ben allowed.

An absolute delight. Asexual Frasier and straight!Ray fall into a romantic relationship. Well-characterized, fun, and thoughtful.

Loved this... Sam and Dean and Cas and Jack are all immensely in character. Unfinished at 13 chapters

Summary
It took Sam a while to notice it. Longer than he’d like to admit. But to be fair to himself, he had been watching for impulses of a more murder-the-world kind, not whatever was going on now.
It all really boils down to this: Dean styles his hair. Which Dean has always done, and Sam has always known. But the hair gel is no longer tucked away in the bottom of his duffel bag; it stays out in the open of the shared bathroom of the Bunker, and Dean doesn’t hide what he’s doing if Sam walks in.
“Heya Sammy,” Dean greets happily, running a hand through his hair.
“Hi,” he says back, nervously watching Dean’s actions.
He’s looking in the mirror, and it’s not until he stopped that Sam realizes Dean’s always flinched at his reflection.

"No one hates you as much as you do," Crowley told him once. That's Dean's whole M.O. right there. His two fundamental truths are that it is his job to save everyone, and that no matter how many people he saves it will never change the fact that he is 90% crap.
Dean knows who he is. Yeah, he's done some good for the world, okay, he gets that. But deep down? The person he is inside is still worthless. Dean will never be good enough, never be any kind of role model. He's never going to shake that, so if that's what this whole seven trials angelic bullshit is about, then he and Cas might as well hold hands and drive off the cliff now.

Really interesting: Dean has to face seven gates that represent lifelong obstacles, with Cas along for the ride.
