Tags: Canon Divergent, Stanford Era to Season 3, Gabriel and Castiel are the Winchester Guardian Angels, but undercover

Side Characters | Pairings: Castiel, Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester | Light Gabriel/Sam Winchester, and even lighter Castiel/Dean Winchester

Summary: Sam is happy as a student, even when it means working in a coffee shop. Then he gets this weird, memorable customer. And still he forgets him. Gabriel can’t help himself. He has to visit his charge while he is working, even if he has to clear his memory.

Years later, he is literally hiding under a pseudonym in a cave in the mountains, when Sam appears, looking for a way to help his brother retrieve his soul contract.

Snippet:

Sam laughed softly as the door shut behind her. “Thank you kindly, sir. How may I help you?” The man took off his sunglasses and Sam was mesmerised by eyes the colour of sunshine through whiskey. They beautifully completed the handsome face they were set in. Sam felt his gut tighten, even though his hunters instincts were a bit dulled by the three years at Stanford. “How much is it to fill a venti cup completely with espresso?” The man’s face was deathly serious, not even a twinkle in those golden eyes. Sam blinked. “Um… excuse me?” The man flicked his hand at the venti cup in the size display, then at the espresso picture on the menu. “This, full of that. How much?” he repeated without venom or talking down. Sam tried to shape the idea in his head. “Well… I’ll have to convert a bit. I only have a quad button for espresso. Not really a given price for…” He did a quick metal burst of mathematics. “Twenty ounces of espresso in a single… cup…” The sheer amount of caffeine and shots made his voice waver again. The man hung his glasses from the collar of his shirt and shrugged. “Price isn’t even close to on my mind right now. Just tell me how many ‘add shots’ it is.” A kind of primal fear traipsed up Sam’s spine as he did the next calculation. “So that will be a quad with…” He swallowed, his dry throat uncooperative. “Sixteen added shots of espresso. Sir, with that many shots, your drink will turn pretty bitter waiting for all twenty to be pulled.” A direct, solemn stare. “Taste doesn’t matter in the least for me.” The primal fear solidified in Sam’s gut and fired warnings to his brain. Someone ordering this concoction had to be something supernatural, if not eldritch. His instincts joined the primal fear and started listing off ways to get out of there unscathed.

are you guys hearing about this dude working to developing a vaccine for cats that he's hoping would like. theoretically double their lifespans?

[sergle]

turns out i wasn't making that up, his name is Dr. Toru Miyazaki! he also wrote a book called "The Day Cats Live To Be Thirty", so cats are kind of his thing.

apparently, cats' kidneys tend to be the thing that takes them down, something about their bodies being unable to self-clean their kidneys, and the vaccine is supposed revitalize the body's ability to do just that. It would be very VERY fucking cool to have cats suddenly reaching 30 years of age be the normal thing.

Could the macrophage-derived protein AIM save cats from kidney disease?

As they age, almost all cats develop kidney disease, from which they eventually die. Just as in humans, kidney disease i

[moki-dokie]

whoa wait i actually read the articles and it's so much cooler than just that!!

dude cracked the case about WHY kidneys fail, across the board as far as i can tell. turns out there's a specific molecule whose job it is to attach to waste and signal macrophages to come eat it. it remains inactive in cats for some reason, but the molecule is still there. basically what he's done is found the switch to activate them. this will be profound not only for our domestic babies, but for big cats too - especially cheetahs!

although his research was focused on cats, it's already being used to develop drugs for humans too!

on top of that, since these molecules are tags for waste, this could also dramatically lower the rate of fatty liver disease, liver cancer, urinary crystals, rheumatoid arthritis, and even some neurological cases! like, they're hoping it may have an impact on parkinson's and alzheimers, but it DOES have an impact on stroke recovery. like. holy shit.

furthermore, he's insisting that the feline drug be affordable if and when it rolls out onto the market. he wants this to be something anyone can get for their cat!! idk how much sway he'll have over the human drug, but hopefully enough that it, too, won't be that expensive.

annnnnd in his research that he's still doing for the human side of things, he's found a potential link between this molecule and estrogen. in the 20,000 samples he's tested, women between ages 10 and 29 had the highest amount of this molecule present in their blood (a higher amount means Something Fucky is going on, essentially. There's a higher amount of waste the body is trying to clean out) but it drops down to be almost equal amongst men and women after menopause. it hasn't been looked into yet, but fuck, just the fact it's noted and known and probably WILL be looked into soon??? imagine if this is what leads to figuring out all the various ways the ovaries and uterus fucks with people and how to fix it. or even like, maybe there's something about estrogen that makes it work better. who knows! but it's rad the link is there to be researched :D

man just think, not only could our kitties start living longer, healthier lives, but just maybe dialysis will become as rare and obsolete as the iron lung is for people. what a badass Dr. Toru is!

Montana Supreme Court Rules Its Constitution Entirely Protects Trans Citizens In Landmark Ruling

The ruling will have enormous impacts for transgender residents in the state.

HOLY SHIT

[definite-human]

"The Montana court separately declared that transgender people constitute a suspect class under the state's equal protection clause. In legal terms, a suspect class is a group that has historically faced such severe discrimination that any law targeting them must meet the highest level of judicial scrutiny to survive—the same standard applied to laws that discriminate on the basis of race. [...] The practical effect is sweeping: any Montana law that singles out transgender people will now face strict scrutiny, meaning the state must prove the law serves a compelling interest and is narrowly tailored to achieve it—a standard that laws almost never survive.

"Because the decision rests entirely on the Montana Constitution, it is insulated from the U.S. Supreme Court. Under the principle of adequate and independent state grounds, the federal Supreme Court cannot review a state court's interpretation of its own constitution, so long as that constitution provides more protection than the federal one. [...] What this means in practice is that Montana's transgender residents now have a constitutional shield completely independent of the Supreme Court of the United State’s decisions."
