So when Jensen comes back from his mandatory five day nondenominational holiday break and finds the door to the office adjoining his decorated with cut outs from a sea otter calendar, a bunch of dog photos, and a copy of some new age version of the scientific method, he knows the introductory lab students are totally fucked. It's just common sense.

Even though they're sharing an office door – one that Jensen makes sure to keep locked – Jensen doesn't see the new lab instructor for the next four days. Every time he goes to get a cup of coffee or to check on the frogs in the lab, though, the sea otters have increased in number. On Monday, the day before classes start, they're joined by a dolphin, a tiger, and a plush bat, thumb-tacked to the door through one wing. Jensen's very tempted to liberate it into the trash can. He doesn't.

Man, what a feel!good fic, seriously. No angst whatsoever, just sunshine and rainbows and happy people and bone model stealing dogs.
