[SPN] Fic: Crossroads State (AU, Dean/Castiel, R) - masterpost

Title: Crossroads State
Rating: R (sex and language)
Words: ~54,000* (complete in 12 parts)
Pairing/Characters: Dean/Castiel, Sam, Gabriel, Anna, Balthazar... uh, ensemble. (highlight for spoilery background/side pairings) Castiel/Balthazar, Sam/Ruby, Sam/Jess, Gabriel/Kali, Balthazar/Lucifer
Warnings: This is seriously pretty tame angst-wise, but references to offscreen drug abuse and mental illness/institutionalization for minor characters. (Less seriously, also gross liberties with the geography of Bloomington, Indiana and environs. General insouciant handwaving of the ins and outs of gay clubs and academia, because obviously the fact that I've been clubbing a few times and know some professors makes me a total authority.)
Summary: Castiel has a nice predictable structured life teaching high school, even if he happens to be overqualified for it. Then this guy moves in around the corner and literally knocks him on his ass.
Notes: [livejournal.com profile] the_reverand deserves a freaking medal for helping me pick through this and holding my hand and patting my head and punching my arm during my flails. So does a fairly large contingent of my flist because I kept bitching. <3 Still, anything that sucks is my fault and no one else's.
*(Also, this may only be 51,000 words? Gdocs and AO3 don't seem to agree with each other.)

[SPN] Fanmix: Crossroads State soundtrack

Soundtrack to Crossroad State! If this were a movie, this would be more "music from the motion picture" than anything else, because I can't actually write a sentence without making a musical reference, but there are some generally-soundtracky bits too.

Note: Didn't realize I was doing it when I wrote it because it's been years since I read the fics in question, but there's a thing in this part that deserves a nod to (read: is basically a wholesale but unconscious-at-the-time and loving ripoff of) [livejournal.com profile] sam_storyteller's excellent Rules of Torchwood series.
