Awww, I am in love with this story. You're a terrific writer. I can't wait for an update :-)

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like it, it's my first attempt at an AU. I'm working on C5 right now, so it should be up soon :)

High School AU is one of my guilty pleasures, and this is lovely! I can totally relate to Dean because I've been there. I know how it feels when the future is just a huge, yawning hole of nothingness and the only way you can cope is to live day-to-day, put up a fake smile and bullshit your way through life. And I know that having someone that cares can mean the world.
Cas is breaking my heart with his discomfort about his family and his reaction to Mary's hug. I have a general abhorrence to religious nutjobs, so it really gets under my skin. I just want to hug them both and tell them everything will be all right eventually.

In short, I'm hooked like woah. I can't wait to see where you'll go with this!

Thank you! It's my very first AU and I'm really enjoying writing it, though I'm British, so I keep having to message my friends in the US with questions about American high schools.

I've been where Dean is too, and I've felt the same as him. It's not fun! I hate religious extremism as well, and I felt really bad for Cas and Anna writing this chapter.

I'm working on C5 right now, so hopefully it'll be up soon!

This is simply wonderful! I love that you are taking your time telling this story. You are doing such a wonderful job putting the reader in Dean's head and allowing us to grasp the total lack of self-worth that he has. It is heartbreaking to hear some of the thoughts Dean has about himself.

It was so sweet, and I couldn't help but get teary at Mary's story of how, as a child, Dean would wake up singing and how she and John would simply lay there and listen to him. A mother remembers things like that and wants so much happiness for her child, and you have captured so much truth of that with the character of Mary.

I also love how Dean and Cas' friendship got jump-started with Cas being the one to save Dean. The bruise on the arm from where he pulled him out....brilliant!

I am so taken by this story and greatly hope to see new chapters soon.:)

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like it. I've loved writing Mary. It always makes me so sad when we see her on the show, knowing that Sam and Dean were deprived of such a wonderful mother. It was really nice to play out what it would be like if she was still around.

I'm working on C5 right now, so it should be up soon!

Bah there needs to be moooore! I'm really sort of caught up into this. You've painted an interesting picture of Dean that I haven't run across before but it's very believable. I'm anxious to find out what happens in his life, with Cas and especially if Alastair shows up again or if anyone finds out about what might have happened.

Really enjoying this. Update when you can. :)

This is a brilliant story! I love your characterization of Dean and Cas, you translate their thoughts and feelings from the show into this AU world perfectly. Poor Dean, I hope Cas and make him realize that he is worth everything and more. Can't wait for more!

[lafleurdumal85]

Thank you :D It's my first AU, so I'm glad you think I've managed to still make the characters true to how they are on the show. I'm writing C5 right now- hopefully it'll be up soon!
