What happens when corporate, satellite radio and a small town disc jockey collide? Angel Radio needs a new hero. That is, they need a new DJ to anchor their classic rock channel, and Dean Winchester of Sioux Falls, South Dakota just might be the man for the job. That's the directive Castiel receives from his boss, Naomi: recruit Dean to leave his morning shift at KARZ and move to the Los Angeles, where a more lucrative career in broadcasting could await him. But Dean's not sure he can leave his friends and found family behind—not even when Castiel shows up looking like someone who could light his fire, and the attraction is entirely mutual.
There’s no better combination than Supernatural and classic rock. An AU where Dean is a free willed classic rock DJ and Cas is stuck in the corporate side of music is so absolutely perfect I can’t believe I haven’t seen one before now.
And it’s a great fic. The parallels between Cas and canon are delicious, the setting makes one feel like they’re touring LA right beside Dean and Cas, and the characterization is pitch perfect. The author's passion for music— especially classic rock, of course— is seeped into every word. It’s always great when a writer can combine two of their interests and readers are lucky when one of those passions is Destiel.
A treat to read!
