Re: Or they like AUs.

[(Anonymous)]

Step 1: take any 2 random coffee shop/college AUs from different fandoms
Step 2: swap the names between these fics
Step 3: can you see any difference?

Destiel college AU looks the exact same way as a Drarry college AU or a Thorki college AU. If you want to see your favourite characters in a setting not explored by canon, you can grab any random college AU to another canon and you'll get the same results by copy-pasting the names of characters onto it.

Not all AUs are coffee shop or college. The secret poster just wrote about human AUs. Maybe Dean is a mechanic and Castiel is an escaped mental patient who thinks he hears angels. Maybe Dean is a burnt-out former Marine who meets performance artist Castiel. Maybe Castiel is the sheltered youngest child of a messed up royal family and Dean is a crass knight. Maybe Dean's Batman and Castiel is someone Joker did experiments on. You can absolutely keep characters in character in AUs, you just have to have a little imagination. But, hell, let's go with a college AU, Dean is Good Will Hunting his way through failed projects at the engineering lab while being the night custodian and Castiel is the accounting student who changed his major to drama student after he had a near-death experience that changed his perspective and his behavior.

Honestly, none of those sound “in character” to me. They sound like cool stories, though. (Although if you make Dean a Dick Grayson-style Batman and make Cas a disillusioned member of the Lantern Core who’s got the Guardians of the Universe after him, you might Have something .)

Well, they're just broad character sketches that could lead to personalities and behavior consistent with the characters. You'd have to fill in the details a bit, like you did.
