I'm actually the same about rape themes, and I really didn't want this story to go down that route. But then I wanted to give Dean a normal, happy life, but still have him be damaged and need Cas to heal him, and the whole Alastair thing just kind of... happened. But yeah, there was no way I could have gone into detail about it, I found it upsetting enough as it was. I cannot read fics that have graphic descriptions of rape.
OMG, I am loving the everything out of this story. You're capturing exactly what I love in a HS!AU. Can't wait to go on and read the rest. Your Dean!Voice makes me sympathize with him and shake my head in frustration, all at once.
I, um, hate to do this, but: Could we get a non-con or dub-con (or 'references to non-explict dub-con', whatever) warning on this chapter? Thanks, and sorry to be a nuisance.

This is really interesting. Usually when I read AUs and there's a new student, they always mention how the main character can't stop thinking about the new student every five seconds, but this is totally different.
And Dean's inner monologue and self-esteem problem: perfection.
Thank you so much! Yeah, I always thought it was a bit unrealistic when they immediately become obsessed with each other in AUs. It just doesn't happen like that normally!
I wasn't quite sure which chapter to comment this on, so I just went for the first one ^^ So, today I was randomly thinking of this story and it occured to me just how brilliant it is. While I was reading, the whole Cas' family are religious and kind of freaky seemed a bit random(I'm not the brightest crayon in the box xD), but when I thought about it it all made sense. It's actually a really clever way to keep something of the original, but to make it completely your own. And the way Cas saved Dean from drowning. So yeah, this probably occured to everybody else while they were reading, but it took me a little longer to appreciate the sheer brilliance of this <3
Thank you so much! I did try to include as many parallels to canon as I could, and put the characters in similar situations, albeit in a 'normal' environment. I'm really glad you liked it :)

I must admit that I don't like to read story with rape themes, but yours is being very interesting.
When you made Cas talk about Henry James, you made me remember that specific scene (With Dean and Alastair). It was very smart of you too. :D
Well... It is 4am ........ :| I should go sleep and come back tomorrow to read more :)
