I can never rec this one enough for your non-AU request. Eventual NC17-where's-the-ice slash, but this story is all about the characters, and there's absolutely no way you cannot be invested in them.

I know not everyone is into podfics, but I thought I'd mention that juice817 has made fabulous podfics of these three wonderful fics.

Oh.Em.Gee I just finished Courtship (maybe two days ago, but life.) And thank you! I plan on reading everything in order!!

Right!? :D
It's just...!♥
One of my favourite bits has to be the strawberry ice cream on a shared spoon in the basement while the party carries on overhead.
Hope you enjoy the others too :)

Clueless Two Point Whatever (http://caliofthecastle.livejournal.com/8251.html) by morcalivan:
Jared has never been lucky in love, and the last thing he needs is some pretty boy across the hall hitting on his exes. There is something distinctly off about his new neighbor, who seems dead set on making Jared's life his own. Kind of like Single White Female, but without the murder and the crazy.

Fratboy 'verse (http://strippedpink.livejournal.com/tag/fratboy%20%27verse) by strippedpink:
Jensen dives into the seedy underbelly of Pledge Week at UT for a news article and gets more than he bargained for.

Puzzle 'verse (http://strippedpink.livejournal.com/tag/puzzle%20%27verse) by strippedpink:
Sometimes you just can’t help yourself. (A tale of boylove between innocent high school boy Jared and confused college boy Jensen.)

These two are movie crossover/adaptations..

Good Girls Don't, But I Do... (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1183863) by dollydolittle:
After being set up for a crime they did not commit; Jensen Ackles, Christian Kane, and Michael Rosenbaum are kicked out of their fraternity and have to prove their innocence. Luckily Mike has a plan. A good plan. A great plan. A really awesome great plan that involves cunning, courage, and...cross-dressing? (movie: Sorority Boys)

More of a Marilyn, Less of a Jackie (http://archiveofourown.org/works/178197) by akadougal:
A J2 retelling of Legally Blonde. Jensen Ackles is determined to do anything to win his boyfriend back, even if it means going to Harvard Law School.

Oh wow - A Sorority Boys retelling with Mike Rosenbaum in it?! I have to read this!

Thanks for all of the recs!!! I am about to skip sleep so I can get started!!
