Why this must be read: A different take on the College AU. We see the bandom people as various professors, doctors and teaching associates. Written for the bandom big bang and a 'take your fandom to work' Akire gives us a glimpse on the other side of the academic world that as a student you barely glimpse.
The deadlines, getting students butts in gear and the laugh out loud emails from the administration staff are the tip of the iceburg for this wonderful gem of a fic.
Give it the good old college try and remember to have fun!
There had been no warning, no lead in, no time to prepare or reflect. Somehow, he had gone from grad student to job interview to saying yes. Then there was nothing but the flurry of writing, packing, severing all ties.
It wasn’t until he was on the plane, accelerating down the runway, did it hit him.
“What the fuck have I done?”
“Excuse me, dear?” Ryan blinked, unaware he had spoken out loud. The old woman in the seat stared at him through heavy spectacles, her eyes strangely bulbous under glass.
“I just finished my doctorate, packed my life up into a dozen boxes, and am flying halfway around the world to live in another country I have never been to before for at least three years to work my ass off,” he rattled off, unable to stop himself as the enormity of it all hit him in the face.
She patted his arm distractedly. “Ahh, an adventure. It will be good for you.” She had then tugged up her blanket and fallen asleep.
