I know you said you just wanted AUs and chances are you've read the fics already but I can't help it but not rec them. I really loved them.


The Jared Padalecki Untitled Project (http://audiofic.jinjurly.com/search/node/The+Jared+Padalecki+Untitled+Project)


A Slow Cadence (http://audiofic.jinjurly.com/search/node/A+Slow+Cadence)

So they are both not completely AU but for me it was enough (I prefer AUs as well). A Slow Cadance has lots of angst for Jensen but it doesn't make him look like a wimp or anything. The Jared Padalecki Untitled Project is great as well because it has all this lovely pain through misunderstanding, rejection, pride... So just listen to them :)
