Witches' Sabbath by Silbrith

Neal and Peter call on Dean and Sam Winchester for help during an investigation into the mysterious circumstances surrounding the disappearance of the Dutchman. May 2005. Crossed Lines story #2. Witches' Sabbath occurs after the events in Whispers in the Night (Crossed Lines series) and Raphael's Dragon (Caffrey Conversation series). Crossed Lines is a fusion series of the Caffrey Conversation AU of White Collar with Supernatural. Peter Burke already crossed the line to recruit con artist Neal Caffrey. To work with the Winchester brothers, he'll have to do the same. Similarly, Dean and Sam need to let Neal and Peter into their world. The stories are set within the Caffrey Conversation timeline but can be read separately. The Caffrey Conversation universe was created by Penna Nomen. In that world, Neal Caffrey--expert forger, thief, and con artist--is recruited by Special Agent Peter Burke to work for him at the FBI. Neal begins his new life in December 2003 when he is twenty-three years old. Unlike the TV series, Neal was never convicted of a crime and didn't serve time in prison. Penna Nomen is the creator and chief muse for Caffrey Conversation. She is also my writing partner. The complete list of all our stories is on our blog, Penna Nomen & Silbrith Conversation. This story is for fun. I don't own the rights to White Collar or Supernatural.

Waking You Up by RimyAllen

John dies and Sherlock blames himself, so much so that the guilt begins to affect his life. However, he keeps getting dreams of John talking to him and assuring him that he's not dead. Eventually Sherlock doesn't seem to know reality from dreams and everyone around thinks he's crazier than usual. As it is, Sherlock was in coma for awhile and John, very much alive, had been by his bedside constantly and talking to him in hopes he wakes up. Inspired by my favorite Futurama episode.

Sequel to 'Despite the Odds'. When there is a mysterious crisis, it is the unspoken rule that our favourite consulting detective will be called- whether it is in the 21st or 19th century. Right?

Barry's life by irisekkeri

Two people fall in love in unlikely circumstances. They have a lot of psychological issues and mistrusts in the order of things to prevent them from finding themselves and each other. I am a reader of crime novels and hard science fiction almost exclusively, and yet this story, which I have been writing for a long time, is a love story, I can't explain it even to myself. The characters will have to work through hardship and evolve to be able to surrender to the magical things around them and the flow of the universe and the love of other people. This story still is a work in progress, it has holes and it is to be continued
