AU: Hiro is trapped under the remains of the Science Hall! As he struggles between dreams and reality, his loved ones work for his rescue! Includes alive!Tadashi.

Tadashi died, or so it seems. Hiro is just starting to move on with his life at SFIT when he suddenly receives a call from the police, informing that Callaghan wants to see him. He eventually agrees, expecting nothing but the worst from his former foe. In truth, however, he is unprepared for what truly lies ahead...and behind the entire saga all along.

Hiro has the house to himself for a few hours, and completely ready to spend the day with gummy bears and his DVRed shows. He's not ready for a panic attack to hit him. He's also not prepared for Tadashi finding him hyperventilating in the living room.

A hat shop owner (Castiel) is cursed by a witch after being mistaken for his brother who had rudely insulted her. After fleeing his home, he finds himself aboard a flying castle along with a powerful wizard (Dean), his apprentice (Sam), and a fire demon (Crowley). Castiel endures sass, kidnapping, copious amounts of rubbish, and quite a lot of yelling. (Based off book and movie)

Tadashi didn't die in the fire, but he emerged from the ashes as a whole new person due to mysterious circumstances. Hiro learns this the hard way when he manages to knock the mask off of the person who attacked him and his friends; and when he manages to get himself kidnapped by the person he used to call 'brother'. (Yokai!Tadashi AU. Spoilers Inside.)

A kingdom thrown into chaos, where danger and corruption lurk in every shadow, waiting for the right time to strike the hearts of the innocent. Monsters take the forms of both humans and beasts. The righteous princess and those she loves struggle desperately to overcome a thousand-year curse. (Dragon's Curse AU)
