This Nerd HG interview is adorable. I thought I'd watch a couple of minutes but I am almost all of the way through and totally laughing at the amusement factor that JP brings.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you want D/C S/G HS AU with epic whumpage, check out princess-aleera's BB entry. Stayed up a bit late reading that one.

Not sure what I thought about that. Yes, lots of whump and pain, but Dean wasn't Dean enough for me, the fragility ramped up a bit too much. Although I liked how it created the manwhore personality. And Gabriel didn't annoy me because he was a completely different character.
But, yes, I also stayed up late to finish it.

I'm never going to ask for Gabriel to be in character in a S/G fic, because that way lies no S/G for me.
I did like what she did with Dean. It was more extreme than what we see of him in canon, but an acceptable diversion, considering the huge difference she made with John.
And I thought the brotherly love was massive and beautiful. I don't even mind that they compressed the age difference, which usually bothers me.

I have to agree with you on needing Gabriel not being Gabriel in order to handle S/G.
The age difference, wasn't it 15 and 17? A year short.

I guess that was in order to make S/G palatable, and to keep them in the same school. They're normally four school years apart, right?

Dean is almost four and a half years older than Sam, and Speight is 13 years older than Jared. Gabriel seemed to be done with school?

I figured Castiel, Dean, and Gabriel were about the same age, although I don't think it was dwelt upon.

Sam was mentioned offhand as 15, and I believe Dean was waiting to turn 18 to ditch John and move out with Sam and Gabriel didn't seem to go to school.
Jollysnidge has a couple of updates up at FF.net, woot!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
You figure in AUs they kind of have to play with the angels' ages, what with them being hundreds of millions of years older than the Winchesters in canon.
