You're Fucking Perfect (To Me) by TwinOne with art from nickelkeep (8600 words, T)
Every Thursday Castiel visits Samâs house, they share a glass or two of good whiskey and a bit of conversation like theyâve done for years. Everything changes the day he smells a new and intriguing scent as soon as he steps inside his friendâs house.
Itâs the scent of an omega. Not just any omega, but his true mate.
A story told using the lyrics of the song Fucking Perfect by P!nk as prompts for each chapter.

Steve? Really...Steve? by Hectatess with art from Acaademicqueer (7625 words, M)

Play It Pretty For the World by cactusdragon517 with art from PetraAmaia (10805 words, E)
It's an old story, in the end: Boy meets boy. Boy falls in love. Happily ever after. But how they get there is a different story altogether (after all, what can you expect from rockstars?)
Family Business is in need of a new guitarist and lucky for them, session musician Castiel Novak is available. Guitar in hand and a bag over his shoulder, Castiel arrives in LA with Family Business on the brink of making it big.
Internally, however, is a bit more complex. Dean Winchester, lead singer and older brother, has found himself navigating his brother's growing addiction and their band's impending success.
After tours and traveling the world, they go their separate ways.
Can Dean and Castiel find their way back to each other?

When Zachariah sends Dean forward into the world after the Apocalypse, instead of running into the National Guard, he runs into a person he thinks is his brother.

Only Physical by nickelkeep with art from PetraAmia (4470 words, E)
