The Means for Our Own Destruction, Chapter 4: Jumelage
Title: The Means for Our Own Destruction
Pairing: Sabriel, some background Destiel, and quite a few lesser
touched upon pairings and flirtations. It’s college after all.
Fandom: Supernatural
Rating: PG-13/K+
Beta: tseecka (yay!)
Disclaimer: Still don’t own any of these characters, I can only claim
my characterization and my understandings of these folks. I can,
however, 100% verify that this is my writing. All of it. Yep.
Warning: Mild language, mild plot, mild references.
Summary: Sam begins a new, short day of class that becomes
unbearably long when he learns it’s a course he shares with Gabriel
Descieux and receives a piece of even worse news.
Author’s Notes: London is hot a humid and I’ve been working right
in the middle of it all, so I must apologize for the delays…again. I
should also take this time to say some thank yous.
First off, many thanks to andlatitude again for the encouragement and
for helping spark this story, for listening to me ramble off ideas and
scenes at stupid o’clock in the morning, for responding so amazingly,
and for all the inspiring art. Aside from that, she’s an indispensable
friend all round. I say the same to getthesaltnburn, tseecka, remivel,
swordcane, and anyone else I have inflicted with my enthusiasm and
derp with regards to this story. Thank you to rosemcphee and
praisethemoftiss for helping me expand my potential audience. Thank
you to everyone reading, reviewing, and favouriting this story. Thank
you for reading in the first place, for your reassuring and uplifting
words, and for your patience. Also, one final set of thank yous to
Colombia for all the coffee I’ve imbibed, England for all the cheeses
I’ve sustained myself with, and my grandparents for investing their
time and patience in me, and for helping me fix most of my computer
problems.
There holds some fascination in the beautiful simplicity of everyday British life.
Three pairs of shoes falling effortlessly in line as they tread over the pavement and through the puddles, the sky dull and grey but the conversation light, cheery.
Nobody notices the parade of brick passing by, far more concern with the steady stream of cars to the side, or the age of the cobbles underfoot. They are simply parts to a path that leads to a greater destination, the details irrelevant.
It rains, of course. The sky gave its warning that nobody heeded.
The sound only complements the chatter, rounds out the sound, filling in any lapses, any silence. It has more to say than they hear in their preoccupation.

Title: The Means for Our Own Destruction
Pairing: Sabriel, some background Destiel, and quite a few lesser touched upon pairings and flirtations. It’s college after all.
Fandom: Supernatural
Beta: None, really. Though many thanks go to getthesaltnburn and andlatitude for reading over and reviewing some parts. You guys gave me such encouragement and instilled within me the most drive to carry on during the crazy times.
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: None of these characters are mine really though some of the attributed personality traits and character developments are my doing entirely. Basically, they all originated from somewhere else, I just molded them and warped them to suit my own needs for my amusement and, hopefully, yours.
Warning:This program contains scenes of nudity, sexuality, and coarse language, and also portrays scenes of a drug use, alcohol abuse, and violence. Viewer discretion is advised.Nothing much goes on in this chapter, hence the PG rating. It’s clean and wholesome unless you consider pie to be pornographic. If this is you, you may want to read at your own discretion.
Summary: Sam Winchester, with the aid of his brother and, grudgingly, his father, moves into his dorm at Kansas State University. As he prepares to adjust to what could be the biggest and best change in his life, Dean proves absolutely nothing has changed in his…yet.
Author’s Notes: I set up this story with little Easter eggs of sorts. Basically, bonus points to anyone who can pick up on references here as I think, as the story progresses, you’ll realize I’ve jammed them in en masse (but hopefully subtly enough that it doesn’t seem ridiculous - don’t worry, no dialogue that’s simply pages taken from the Back to the Future script or anything like that…) Not all chapters promise to be THIS long, but the only natural break seemed to be right here. Still, I have a feeling this story will be fairly lengthy as I don’t want to rush the progression of the relationships. Let’s keep it somewhat plausible, right?I’m not 100% sure on the accuracy of the layouts of anything at KSU as I’ve never been and all my information is based on the websites and my own university experiences. I’ve never even been to Kansas.

Reblogging for those who missed it and showed interest.
Another note on the AU
SORRY for the high volume of Destiel.
It IS a Sabriel centric fic but this is the preparation for the background stuff, etc. etc.
The level of Destiel here will not continue in future chapters.
The Sabriel will slowly increase but…they DO start out sort of hating each other. Fair warning.
I hope this does not upset too many people.
Trust me, later on down the line there will be fluff and angst and all sorts of loveliness to come.

Update on the Sabriel College AU situation
I am an idiot. I set up an FFNet account so as to post chapter one without delays this afternoon/evening.
Apparently there’s a 2 day wait to publish as a means of reducing spam.
This was news to me.
This changes absolutely nothing. Well, that’s not true, this changes things a little.
What it means is:
- The first chapter will go live today at the same time but will be posted directly to tumblr.
- In 2 days the chapter will become available on FFNet.
- If any of this becomes an issue I will open up an LJ account and post chapters there.
- Once my invitation arrives, chapters will be made available via An Archive of Our Own.
An additional note, updates, news, and the like can be found on tumblr via the KS College!AU tag.
Until my invitation to Archive of Our Own arrives (which last i checked will come in on July 17th) the long overdue Sabriel college AU I have been promising will be posted on fanfiction.net.
I apologize for the delays in posting. My living situation has been less than stable and I’ve had issues securing work and have been under a lot of pressure to find more secure lodgings.
Having said that, barring any internet issues, chapter one will go live tomorrow at 7pm GMT/12pm noon MST.
Well there’s a café and a bakery over there, Dean. It’s called a dining center for a reason you know, so relax. You’ll get to eat in a couple of minutes. Maybe,” he began, cutting his brother off before the words could ever leave his mouth, “you’ll even find some really good pie there.
They both knew it would happen. Everything had changed; the emptiness of the flat and the absence of him, those little reminders boxed away and pushed aside, even down to the bloody human detritus in the fridge, had hit all too hard, and now that he had enough mental clarity to actually remember where he was John had no choice but to get it over with before the idea teetered away into the recesses of his mind.
Two weeks after Sherlock fell, John picked up where he left off on day one, checking for signs that maybe, just maybe he was still alive.
He flicked on the television to check the news for signs or crimes that perhaps would pique Sherlock’s interest enough to very clandestinely study.
BBC2 was showing so music programme that unfortunately had to be showcasing the London Symphony Orchestra performing something by Bach that he couldn’t place by name butknewhe’d heard several times before. The violins broke him completely and he sobbed for twenty minutes straight.
He almost forgot completely what he was doing that day.
