SUMMARY:

That summer, Dean and Cas found in each other a refuge from the heat and the chaos of their real lives. Believing it would all end once the seasons changed, they allowed the wildfire to consume them. But when Cas gets hired as a professor at St. Charles Academy, where Dean is about to graduate, they need to figure out a way to survive the school year without burning on the flame that lit back when they were living for the hope it all.

Watched a video of the commencement ceremony for the LBCC class 2017 so I could use an accurate quote from the valedictorian speech

Spent 4 hours figuring out which classes Buck would take, and how they'd work with his schedule, and what he would need to do in-between in order to make the timeline work. Proceeded to barely mention the classes at all.

Found the names of a real bar and a real café that made logical geographical sense for Buck to work at

Looked up weather maps of Peru

Researched bartending licences and schools and how long they take in different states only to basically disregard all of that info

Wrote out a timeline of everywhere Buck has travelled between when he left Hershey up til canon
