High School AU's

Can people please recommend me their favourite high school au's? I've been through some of the tag, but there's a lot out there and I want people to recommend their favourites. I'm looking for things that are well-written and in-character.

(To give you an idea to what I like, I recently read this one and I love it and need more)

Many thanks!

EDIT: lots of links in the comments, thanks guys.

One day ill finish the one I just started posting called Gregarious. It is well-written but waiting for a beta and in character as far as teenage BJ is possible to be. Maybe just put a bookmark on it and check back in a few months if you don't like wips.
After shamelessy reccing my own fic I must rec adoringaudience's series 'Secrets'. She is a brilliant writer and hands down this is probably one of the best fics you will ever read. There are very few completed and not entirely predictable or just barf!tastic high school AUs out there. Be wary.
Here is the link to hers. http://adoringaudience.livejournal.com/tag/fic%3A%20secrets
:) enjoy it and another great fic of hers just for the hell off it is a story called Chance Encounters.

I don't know that it's in character, but a fandom favorite from back in the day was Cohorts In Crime (http://www.angelfire.com/folk/defensivewalls/cohortsincrime.html) by crazyfairy. Me and [livejournal.com profile] happier_bunny loved it enough to commission an icon for it!

Asking (begging nicely) again for you to please add a subject line ("High School AU recs?" or such). The post has some lovely fics in it, so I don't want to delete, but blank subject lines are one of my biggest mod peeves! lol

While you're at it, please add a brief update line to the post saying there are lots of links in the comments :) Thanks!!
