Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Because books.

That's more than participation, that's winning.

Oh, I see what you mean.

I didn't know they didn't give full rides to Stanford. Stingy of them. Harvard does, I think.

Much like Dean being a mechanic, but rarely an engineer.

I agree. I think the high school thing is hard, though -- I don't see Dean being painted as a scholar*, and the other kind of popularity is going to come from him being a total bad boy, which is also too lazy.

I actually wouldn't mind an AU where Dean is more like Cas in the one we were discussing -- not a stoner, necessarily, but more of a loner. A little mysterious, a little edgy, a kid who always surprises his teachers with how smart how he is given his attitude and his bad boy appearance.

edited to clarify: a scholar as in National Honor Society, earnest geek, acadeca, etc.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A little mysterious, a little edgy, a kid who always surprises his teachers with how smart how he is given his attitude and his bad boy appearance.

This I think I've seen happen more often in canon stories. D/C AUs seem to paint him as pretty mainstream. I'd love to see him be a gang member (with the requisite heart of gold, natch) or something like that--surely there are other paths to popularity that don't involve sports or GPA?

I have a depressing feeling I'm going to be actually making notes on AU premises this weekend. Why do I care?

Now, D/C does a fair amount of HS and college AUs. Well, AUs in general--dude, the romcom count is crazy. Are there a lot of HS AUs out there that are gen or het?

Because books.

No idea about gen, and I don't think I've seen a lot of gen. There are a crazy amount of HS or college AUs in J2 fic, for sure.

Now you've got me thinking about which AU premises I could myself writing. As if I needed to even consider that.

Mmm.

Always happy to help.

I want to make Dean and Sam carnies in the worst way. But I probably won't.

Does John run the carnival? Or did they run away and join the circus?

Amy - Aug 20, 2010 8:29:10 am PDT #12948 of 30002

Because books.

I think John runs the carnival. Or works for it, at least.

I have no idea where that's going, but it's attractive. To me, anyway.

Is the contortionist named Lisa?

I'm just curious...

YOU'RE NOT HELPING.

I think opinions will vary widely on that one.
