Fic Recs for Anti-Bullying Month!
It is Anti-Bullying Month. I wanted to write something from "The Faculty" fandom for this - a) I dipped like one toe in that fandom years back, b) I have been having the urge to write in that fandom again recently, and c) Casey is a good character to use for an anti-bullying fic - his ability to know which battles to fight (say for instance ones

There is a lot of me in Castiel's depiction here, as far as feeling helpless, and angry, and at a loss of what to do. It eats at your insides and, at least in my case, it completely warps who you grow up to be. Constantly being on the outside looking in changes something inside you, too.

There are two specific moments that stand out in my head; the first time Dean approaches Cas and Cas thinks it is a trick, that Dean is in it with Alastair. And later when Cas asks Dean if they can be friends and Dean is so shocked by this, because he thought they already were friends.
In my school days, there was this one boy that ever stuck up for me, that ever asked me how things were going. I was so full of trust issues at the time that I didn't realize that we were friends. Reading your fic really brought that back into my head ( ... )
