Summary
Flavia, brought up in the last lingering light of Roman Britain, was carried off from her burning home by a 'laughing giant' of a Saxon, in a raid during which her father and friends were brutally killed. Three years later, her brother found her again - married, and with a child by that same 'laughing giant'. Given the chance to escape back to the Roman British, with her brother and her child, she chose to stay with her husband rather than go with her brother.
This story explores what those years were like for Flavia, and how she could come to make that choice.
Contains one illustration in watercolour pencil. Although there is a threat of rape in this story, I don't feel it counts as non-con within the setting and culture of the period. Contains suicidal thoughts, Christianity, culture clash, Anglian pagan religion, magic.

Summary
The two women—Templar and Assassin—stood in the alley, lips pressed tightly together, for only a handful of moments before they parted. One was entirely lost to the flood of excitement and emotion, both literal and figurative, while the other was just now discovering something that had been growing unacknowledged for years. And in only a few minutes more, both would find themselves foes no longer. For the duration of the night, at least.

The Diary of Sam Winchester's Private Witch by allthebeautifulthings9828

Summary
Not all witches are cut from the same demon-dealing mold. Deep within French history exists a semi-immortal breed of hereditary witch, somewhere between human and inhuman, who call themselves Les Sorcières Du Vieux Sang (Witches of the Old Blood). Sam Winchester will be the first to vehemently reject any slurs against witchfolk, but no one—not even his brother, Dean—has guessed why. You see, Sam has a wife, Connie, one of these witches, stashed carefully away in Natchitoches, Louisiana, far away from Winchester hunting grounds. Their union, which occurred while Dean was in Purgatory, is such a secret that not even their daughter, Sophie, knows much about her father. But as Sophie reaches her sixteenth birthday many years later, Les Sorcières tradition dictates that she must know every secret of her heritage before she can mature into a full witch. This is Sophie’s story, discovering the truth behind her mother and her father’s mysterious marriage-by-distance.

Summary
Athelstan knows better than most: it is one matter to take prisoners, but another matter to be one. Confined to the local monastery after King Ecbert’s intervention at his crucifixion, our favorite former monk is given time to reflect on what home means, what friendship is and does, and where his heart truly lies. (Extra-canonical to Season Two; Athelstan, various monastic types, Ecbert and the whole West Saxon court. Archive warning given for a brief scene in first chapter and mentioned content in later chapters.)
