Summary: Jensen's life is predictable and safe, and she likes it that way. At the beginning of her last year of grad school she knows exactly what the future holds, and it seems like enough, until she meets Jay. Jared Padalecki isn't a typical anything, and her arrival in Jensen's life shakes everything Jensen knows about herself into disarray. Jay has never done anything the way she was supposed to, and falling for her hot TA is no exception. As she gets closer to Jensen, she realizes nothing will ever be the same again - and she can't wait.
Notes: I am basically constantly on the search for more long femslash romance and/or romcom AUs, because there are simply not enough of them in fandom. I eventually decided to put my money where my mouth is and write one myself. I enjoyed working with Jared and Jensen's common fanon personalities to explore what they would be like as women in a university setting, and had a ton of fun. If I managed to write a good femslash romance along the way, I will be extremely grateful. Huge thanks to
bree_black for betaing - without her, this story would have no plot - and to my partner for putting up with my three am brainstorms and ridiculous questions about academia. All remaining mistakes or plotlessness are completely my own fault. Huge thanks as well to
king_stitch for creating gorgeous art and being a wonderful artist to work with!
