J2 in a band & College AUs  
Hey everyone!

I'm looking for some new stories of my two favorite tropes.

1.) I'd love to have your recommendations and most favorite band AU stories. Preferably with both of them on tour and how their life on the road is (on a tour bus, living in hotels etc.).

Here is what I have already read: "Beautiful disaster", "Melting the shattered pieces together" and "The bitch of living". I'm basically looking for similar stories because I loved the pace and atmosphere in them. I'm hoping you can help me :-)


2.) I'd love some J2 College AU stories. It woulb be great if you knew some really long epic stories or verses, such as the "College!Verse" by aleia which I totally loved.

But please no sad or dramatic stories, like the fabulous "Emo!Jared Verse" by jeyhawk (which I also adore, don't get me wrong, so if you haven't read it go read int now!) but I'm in the mood for something uplifting and happy, so no drama for the boys please :-) It's also always a plus if the CW crew is there as the supporting cast :-)

Thank you in advance!

PS: I know of J2 recs, but I really don't feel like going through a long rec list at the moment, cuz I'm lazy

Band AU
Thunderbird Wine (http://senorwences.livejournal.com/2194.html)
Rock & roll J2 AU, and while it has moments of angst, it's mostly fun. Jared is a singer, with big time aspirations and a huge crush on the drummer of Thunderbird Wine, Jensen Ackles. Coincidentally, Thunderbird Wine's singer goes off the rails, and the label wants him gone. The band needs someone for 12 shows and an album to fulfill their contract. Think shirtless, sweaty, tights, hair extensions, and living on a bus with a Machiavellian manager, a ferociously cheerful bassist, a lead guitarist who’s more than a little rodeo and the prettiest damn drummer in the industry.

To Wake a Captive Dreamer (http://sophie-448.livejournal.com/48001.html)
Once upon a time (ten years ago to be precise) something terrible happened to Jensen. He’s been dealing with it, or failing to deal with it, ever since. His best friend, Chris, takes care of him and Steve takes care of Chris. They’re one precariously balanced little family who also happen to play in a band together. When Jared becomes their new bassist, everything changes. An unorthodox retelling of Sleeping Beauty.

And I have a few College AUs here (http://previous.delicious.com/chellexxx1/College!AU), you're welcome to take a look

Thanks for your rec! I just read Thunderbird Wine and I thought it was just perfect. And also thanks for the college list, there were also a few on there I haven't read before...
