Ugh, I don't do well with OOC AUs (mostly). Spot-on in character AUs could work... I want to get why. It' s odd to me that Cas isn't that characterized in AUs! He's even more specific than Dean, on the show! Writing Cas like you do is hard, cause you write him magnificently. But writing a recognizable Cas? Overly literal, long looks, personal space perhaps, that combination of experiencing needs/emotions and talking about it in a way that's not as aware of social conventions - should work. Should probably be recognizable as Cas just from that innocent overly literal thing he does, wouldn't you say?
