summary. Dean's life at twenty-four makes him feel like he's forty--he works two jobs to help pay bills for his house and put his genius little brother through private school, and has spent six years (on and off, let's be honest) working on his mechanical engineering degree at KU. With so much of his life devoted to his family, Dean has little time in his schedule for class and no time for social interaction. Then, while getting his classes together for the fall, he finds himself in a do-or-die situation: He must take his last literature class now, his spring already filled with those left for his major...except that none of the English classes will fit his schedule. This is how Dean grovels and begs Dr. Castiel Milton to make a special arrangement for him, and Dr. Milton does.
read this. I love AUs that take traits from canon and spin them in a way that is believable and moving. This story is a college AU that is so much more. The Dean and Castiel in this story will draw you in right from the start, and you'll love their friendship, as well as the complex heartbreaking ups and down of their relationship as they experience the challenges that come with opening up to someone else. This fic is an emotional rollercoaster, a beautiful love story, and a satisfying read.
