In the weeks following the almost-Apocalypse, the men who fought to save humanity realize they have no idea how to be human themselves. While Dean Winchester struggles to make a place for himself in small town Indiana, his brother and his former guardian angel watch from a safe distance. Sam finds himself literally and painfully caught between his old life and Hell, while Castiel – fully human for the first time – copes with freedom, frailty and an intense new set of emotions. Reluctant to reveal their weaknesses to Dean, they hover around the edges of his new life. That is, until they sense that something darker and more sinister is watching Dean as well.
I loved everything about this. Wonderful explanation for Sam's state as of the end of S5 and Castiel's coping mechanism for being human is hilarious and adorable. I almost wish this was a canon start for S6

The status quo is this: Dean is the popular captain of the football team, and Castiel is the off-kilter nobody who doesn't so much as breathe the same air as Dean. Then senior year happens and the status quo is shot to smithereens.
I'll admit I was dubious when I read the summary as I couldn't see how a Dean/Cas high school AU could possibly work. It does though, and it does so brilliantly. I absolutely loved this. I was particularly impressed by the characterisation of Castiel who is an awesome blend of regular!Cas and future!Cas. Fantastic!

Jensen is Jared's roommate who is straight and works for a phone sex line. Jared is...frustrated.
This is hot, and cute, and did I mention hot?
