Blood, Tears & Alcohol

by Fallen-Angel-Spirit

Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak...two very different individuals who happen to have a few things in common. Like, they are both studying nursing. At the same university. Throw in brothers, flatmates and the unforeseeable future...what could possibly go wrong? Eventual Destiel. Please review...I can't get better if you don't! *FF is being stupid and messing up my formatting!*

Disclaimer - I own nothing (despite my hardest prayers) except the idea for the AU and any original characters and places I decide to throw in.

Hi there! This is my first ever attempt at a Supernatural fanfic so please be gentle with me! This is a story that is half based off my own life, and half completely fictional. I've always wanted to write a Supernatural fic and so in the early hours of this morning while listening to drunken flatmates dancing round the living room I decided to open the laptop and type. This is the result. I can't guarantee that I will keep writing it or update regularly...life does take its toll on me. I live in the UK, so my fic is set in the UK. I can't and won't write about countries and education systems I don't wholly understand. Sorry guys!

This is a story in which the two main characters are student nurses. I'm sorry for saying that before we're even in the story but I feel that this should be made absolutely clear. I do not work in any sort of medical field, I don't study in any sort of medical field and beyond breaking a leg when I was little I do not have any experience in any sort of medical field. Nor do I know anyone with any experience in any sort of medical field. Therefore what I write here will be a combination of fiction and general research.

I do want to say this -

Recently, nurses have taken a battering in the UK media. Due to some horrific findings within the NHS (National Health Services), the reputation of nurses in general has been tarnished. But I would like to make this clear - 99.9% of nurses are absolutely fantastic people who are dedicated to their vocation. These people care so diligently for complete strangers. They provide patient-centred care for individuals, regardless of factors like origins, race, culture, gender, sexuality...nurses do not discriminate. Their compassion and empathy knows no bounds. Nursing is an incredible profession.

Nurses are also human. They are incredibly professional at all times within a working environment (and also at home, and anywhere else). But they are human and they do like to let their hair down sometimes, as do we all. My characters are students, and they will get caught up in the "typical" student lifestyle...parties, alcohol, et al. This does not in any way mean that real student nurses do this! Every character in this story is completely fictional (yes, unfortunately Supernatural is fictional) and they are in no way a representation of any nurses, nursing students, or patients (or anybody, for that matter). If anyone is offended by what I write...please tell me in a PM, but also remember that this is fictional.

With that said, please read on and enjoy! :D
