Summary: Castiel spends the first two weeks of college in much the same way he spent the previous years: alone with his books. He’s fine with it—he enrolled in college to learn, after all. Then in his first chemistry lab, he has the bad luck of being paired with snide, good-for-nothing Ruby, and the further misfortune of sitting behind Dean Winchester, the world’s most beautiful distraction. Ruby catches Castiel staring at Dean and makes him an offer.

This is just not fair. Fan fiction is supposed to be my happy place, my escape from reality, not this honest recreation of those painful moments of unrequited love, of love you think is not returned, of love you lose just because you said or didn’t say something at a wrong moment. So, yeah, this fic takes me back and if you have never been in such situations, you are one lucky bastard.

First of all, I must say that this is one of the best destiel college au fics I’ve read so far. Dean and Cas actually study and talk about their subjects (to each other and to their professors). They have friends and their friends have their own stories. Female camaraderie among Bela, Charlie, Anna, Jo, and Ruby is a force to reckon with, while Cas and Ruby’s friendship is just too precious for this world. And, even if it is nice to read a Dean and Cas slow build up relationship story where nobody is a jerk, it is still a very painful experience because they just can’t get their shit together! I had some sad moments while reading this fic, when the only reason I still believed in them was the promise of the happy end (written for dche challenge). My god, it is like 80% of this fic is pure UST and then the last 20% is well deserved (and well written) smut with some angst.
My rating: A+

I’m making this post on behalf of my friend, Lavi (thecocklesofmyheart). She’s the best person I know and most definitely one of the strongest, but right now she needs some help. She’s recently decided to go back to university and get the degree she’s always dreamed of getting. The problem is that her family has no money at all and that she has to finance everything herself.

Her dad covered her family in debts and she had to drop out of university a couple of years ago (even though she only had one more year to go) and get a job so she could pay the rent of the apartment they were threatening to lose and make sure they’d have money to buy food. For longer than anyone should, she’s been stuck at a job that causes her to feel anxious and like shit on a daily basis, working 6 days a week from the early morning till late in the evening, leaving her with almost no free time or some time to spend on herself.

Even though she’s putting as much money aside as she can and though her grandmother decided to start paying their rent starting from June in her stead, she doesn’t make enough to sustain herself for 3 years and put herself through university in the meantime. When she starts to attend college in September, she won’t be able to keep a job since she’ll have classes and practices that will take up her whole day.

The truth is that she just can’t do this all by herself and much as I know she hates asking for help, she really needs it right now. She estimated how much she would need to get her through these 3 years and she needs around €8,000 (10,333 dollar) in total. Luckily, she thinks she can put aside about €4,000 (5,165 dollar) which means she’s 4,000 (5,165) short. Which is kind of the point of this entire post. She put up a paypal account and if there’s anyone of you guys who can miss a couple of euros/dollars you can send them to this email address: d.save87@libero.it (remember to select the option to send money as family or friends) or donate them using the donate button on her blog or simply by clicking through to this link. I can’t possibly describe to you how much it would mean if you chose to help her. This whole situation kills me because she deserves a life of her own, she deserves to live the life she’s always envisioned herself having, and mistakes made by her parents shouldn’t be allowed to take that away.

Any help is welcome. Any help is appreciated beyond believe.

If you can’t help her money-wise, please be so kind as to reblog this post.

I really can’t thank you guys enough.

yeah, so, hi! this post is about me. The people who know me know i’d do anything not to have to do this, but my friends made me realize that asking for help is okay and i don’t have to feel guilty or bad because of it. This is why this post is here.

My situation at home, as some of you may know, is very bad on many levels. I’m not going to complain or enter into detail, but it is and it obviously gets on me. I’m trying to work hard to help because i need it and my mom needs me, but the kind of help I’m giving made me put aside what i wanted for myself. Now i have a chance to try and build the life I’ve always wanted and really, i want to give it a shot.

That’s why i’m here. I really need you, guys. If any of you is willing to help me reach my dream i’ll be grateful forever. No words can express what it would mean to me. Just, thank you for reading and for everything you can do. Thank you so much.

It’s after a week of Castiel sulking and generally being miserable that Dean slaps down a piece of a paper and a pen on the kitchen table in front of him.

Castiel stares uncomprehendingly at it a moment then peers up at Dean. “What’s this?”

“You think being human sucks so bad? Fine. I’m gonna show you just how awesome it is.” Dean’s voice is forcedly optimistic, and Castiel knows that it’s for his own sake and is grateful. “Write down the top 5 things you want to learn as a human, and I’ll teach you how to do them.”

“You’re not serious.”

“Yup, I am.” Dean’s eyes brighten and he grins. “Hey, I can be like your, uh, your human Yoda.”

This, Castiel thinks, cannot go well.
