Dean/Castiel AU. When a handsome stranger wanders into his bar one warm fall night, Dean Winchester is charmed by the archaeology professor. As their friendship deepens, Dean will discover that there are a few simple truths about love: it can sneak up on you when you least expect it, and it will level you without warning. But it can also save you, when you’re lost.I should probably start with the fact how I really hated this fic at some point but, then again, isn't that part of a good fic ? You hate it and you love it at the same time. I think so, so you shouldn't be that worried about me hating this at some point.
The plot itself is kinda boring. They meet, they try to avoid their feelings, they kiss, fall in love and then something tragic happens. Yea. Boring plot (okey, I find almost everything boring). But I don't care about the plot. I care about how the characters work and how they make me feel. And this fic is all about that. You can see how they are stupid and stubborn but also you can see how they grow and some things start to matter to them and how some things just seems not to matter anymore that much.
Especially Dean. He isn't intrested in guys but he really likes Cas so he has to learn how to act and not give a crap about some things. Because some people don't understand and those some people can also be his friends. That also is one thing that Im really giving credits, how the writer really put the other people's opinions there. Everyone wasn't supportive or there for Dean and Cas and they had to work their life around that fact. It hurt them (especially Dean) but giving up wans't an option after some point.
I would like to give credits about the whole life is short and sometimes not so good part. Not gonna spoil you if you wanna read this but something happens and Dean's whole life comes crashing down at some point. And that part is one of my favorites, even when part of it is really cliche. Normally in fics everyone feels like they are superhuman and undestroyable but not in this one. This actually made me appreciate life a little bit more. Because life is fragile and short and you can never know what could happen next.
So all in all. This really took me in and I probably missed something really important at class today because of this (all I can remember was how teacher told us to how to destroy Skynet) but not sorry at all. So really. Go read this and leave comments and yea. Respect life at least a little bit more.
