Hi,

I hope you'll like some of these

http://archiveofourown.org/works/2669783?view_full_work=true tough guys don’t wear glasses,
No one needed to know that Dean wore glasses. They didn't need to know that he had a perfect 4.0 GPA, or that he could easily run circles around every nerd at mathematics... It wasn't important that Dean got letters from colleges all across the country, begging him to accept their scholarships and enroll in their programs... His teachers begged him to accept. Make his school and family proud. But Dean would casually glance over the letters, shove them in his backpack, then promptly reply,

"You should see my brother's grades."

***

While Dean tries to fly under the radar and pretend he is anything other than a genius, he meets Castiel Novak, another 18 year old who turns Dean's life upside down after an unfortunate deal turned sideways. Or did it?

Dean and Castiel become friends, but at the same time, Dean isn't good at the 'friendship' thing. And being friends with Castiel doesn't make it any easier. But with Cas by his side, Dean finds himself facing the demons of his past, dealing with his own insecurities, while also learning the real definition of friendship. And that maybe, sometimes, it's okay to love people too.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/1023484/chapters/2036603 best years of our lives, my ass,
AU after Season 8, episode 6, "Southern Comfort." Dean goes to sleep in a motel room in Texarkana, and he wakes up 17 years old, in his childhood bedroom in Lawrence, Kansas, 1996. He has no idea how he got there, why his parents are still alive, why his brother is an adorable freshman with no memory of his adult life, and why the only ally he has in this place is the angel he left behind in Purgatory – somehow also 17 years old. They have to get out, that's the important thing. Only, falling in love with his angel wasn't a part of the plan....

http://archiveofourown.org/works/2686778?view_full_work=true no day but today,
Dean Winchester is a 17-year-old high school student trying to make do. With his father checked out after his mother's death, Dean takes on the responsibility of raising his younger brother. However, when Dean falls ill, his younger brother tries to help out, and Dean may find love in an unexpected place.

High school AU. It's Dean's senior year at Lawrence High, and he's already given up on himself. It takes the arrival of the strange, intense, awkward Castiel Delacroix at the school to prove to Dean that maybe his life is worth saving after all.

Jensen has been hurt, and he is not about to put his trust in anyone, ever again. Things might change around the school however, when a new student arrives. But will Jensen allow the change or will the nightmares from his past ruin his last year in high school?

Castiel Novak's uncle warned him about Dean Winchester.

Oh wow, most of these I haven't read, and they look great! Thanks!

These are some of my favourite J2 stories :-)

As this sunset turns to morning (there is a short sequel as well)
http://users.livejournal.com/-mournthewicked/250450.html
Jensen spends his life hiding who he is from the family that would never accept him if they knew. When he’s uprooted in the middle of his senior year and suddenly becomes the new kid, his carefully placed mask begins to slip. Especially when he meets Jared – a loud, outspoken spectacle of a boy that fights for everything Jensen was taught to stand against. Jared has no problem going after what he wants, and now it’s just a matter of Jensen letting himself do the same.

College verse (scroll to the bottom for the first one)
http://kliqzcamelot.org/Aleia/AleiaIndex.html

we must reinvent love verse
http://users.livejournal.com/-mournthewicked/158648.html
With high school graduation less than two weeks away, best friends Jared and Jensen find themselves scrambling to tie up a few loose ends before they’re forced into adulthood. Jared ropes Jensen into helping him get the alcohol for Sandy's graduation party, and what should be a simple night of partying ends up turning into a series of mishaps and misunderstandings that all come to head when Jensen finally tells Jared the secret he wasn't ever planning on spilling. If high school has to end, they're going out with a bang

Jared and his friends are spending their last summer together before college on the beach in an out of the way town in sounthern California. Enter messed up Jensen with an odd fixation with the ocean. Jared's summer blow out just got more interesting.

Ah, yes, those stories are the very best! I was just coming back to rec As This Sunset! :)

Ooh, so much high school/college goodness here. Thanks! I can't wait to start!

Did you look here? I can't promise they're all epic length, but there's a lot of verses listed, so those are probably long. Each section is nicely labeled, so if you scroll down you'll see where both are college students, or college roommates, etc.

http://j2-recs.livejournal.com/tag/high%20school

I can tell you the underbelly verse (college) and the parental eggsperiments (high school, kind of into college) are both pretty long.

Have fun!

Thanks! Yeah J2 is always my first go-to. My favourite site!
