Jensen dials the wrong number and gets Jared (or vice versa) and they end up talking and interested. I cracked up a bit and then I got a syrupy smile cause it was all cute and funny. I love nervous awkward boys that are all anxious - its so cute.


Tomorrow the Green Grass by maerhys
J2 AU, NC-17
Arts High School AU. Jared and Jensen deal with growing up and life with a little help from their friends. I realize this has been rec'd to high heaven, but it really is that good and really does deserve to be again. There's love and sex and friendship and angst and schmoop and family and just all sorts of stuff that any J2 fan will eat up. Add in that maerhys is a really good writer its a win, you know. I read it in the chronological order as a continuous story, but each snapshot does have its own flow and ebb, its own feel and distinctiveness - I think that even adds to the story actually.

Whatever You Say (The Vehicular Displacement Remix) by keerawa
SPN, NC-17
Somehow, even when whammied by a spell that makes him do whatever Dean says, Sam still gets his way. This is an alternative ending remix of jasmasson's delightfully kinky Sam/Dean fic, Whatever You Say.
This is just flat out fucking hot. The original is amazing too. You also won't want to miss the other 2 stories of the 'verse the author is placing this in - especially Setting the Mood. Its an amazing mesh of Sam/Dean and Sam/Jess that is extremely hot, but Sam's grief also adds a touch of melancholy to it. Nice set of reads.

Boy Falling Out of the Sky by sylvanwitch
SPN, NC-17
When Sam steps in to rescue a boy and the boy's best friend from Green Bank Regional High School's biggest bullies, he expects trouble. What he doesn't expect is the trouble he gets. Sam is sixteen and keeping all kinds of secrets from Dean--about the boy he kind of likes and the supernatural situation he's found himself in. These secrets start to take their toll at home, where Dean is harboring his own secret, one that might be the most life-changing of all. This was really cool. Something a little different for me - a case fic with a decidedly Sam-focus. The main plot is not about Sam&Dean. Its about one of Sam's experiences in high school, homophobia and what is probably his first solo hunt. I really enjoyed it. And for me, of course, it was made all the better because it did lead to Wincest and Sam&Dean. I thought it was a win all the way around.

Give Me Splendid, Silent Sun by maboheme
SPN, NC-17
Down and out in Bogalusa, where the summer sun don’t shine, just burns and churns and turns so bright ... All I can hear in my head is Louis Armstrong's rasping gravelly voice singing "...Bright blessed days...dark sacred nights. And I think to myself...what a wonderful world." The other lyrics of the song don't have anything to do with it, but those just keep filtering through my head. Honestly, the writing style in this is not anything like the things I typically enjoy, but this one really is beautiful. Its poetic and lyrical, with a burning and heat that inflames from under the skin. Its all feeling and touch and hedonistic warmth.
~short


But then maboheme has that gift, you know? Bedtime Stories is one of the most lovely little Jensen&Jared pieces I've ever read. Again, that hedonistic warmth and poetic rhythm slide over your skin, only in this one tender and sloppy with a lightness that infuses the best kind of J2 stories. As it tells you, these are the kinds you listen to. Absolutely lovely, both of them.

The Dangers of Bullying by jassy3399
SPN, G, Gen
It's a very bad idea to mess with little Sammy Winchester. Because little Sammy Winchester is downright adorable, Big Brother Dean is pretty awesome and John Winchester is just hellahot as Cool Dad. *grins*
~short-ish


Ok, I *just* saw this rec someplace and can't remember where, but OMG, it is so good.
When It's Done by elizah_jane

Dean's not sure he and Sam have a beginning. Great storytelling that stirs and shakes up a linear time, creating a new world of fated love and happy endings.

Without Packages, Boxes, or Bags by valiant
SPN, NC-17
Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store.
This is one of those that you need to heed the warnings: PWP, underage (Dean is 16, Sam is 12), masturbation, voyeurism/exhibitionism, cuddling and brothering. Hot weecest fic. Yes, its feels dirty hot wrong (YUM), but it also has layers of love, angst and *Winchester*. You can see these two boys fighting so hard to be a family, hanging so tightly to what little they have. And Dean, doing the absolute best he knows how to take care of Sam, to make sure Sam never feels wrong or like a freak. And the sexual discovery, wooboy. Yeah, that part is completely YUM.


Blow Out the Candles I Still Hear Them Say by felisblanco
SPN, PG-13
Sam is turning fifteen and Dean is going to Hell. You know I've been looking for some more Weecest schmoop. This? Is not it. This is a flashback fic, posted over two years ago that is totally worth a revisit. felisblanco's stories have a way of twisting your heart around in just the right way. Making you ache at how life for the Winchesters is/was. Sam's desperate wanting to not be what John turning hiim - them - into and Dean's earnest attempts at being what everyone else needs him to be - makes you want to *whimper* at the angst of it all.


And just to offset the angst and Weecest...
Sweat Rags (ok, it doesn't have a title, but whateva) by aggybird
J2, PG
keepaofthecheez posted about at a retweet: "Jensen knows exactly where jared begins sweating first. and admitted that he mops him off between scenes" and then wanted JENSEN WITH A HOPE CHEST of Jared's sweat rags. LOLOLOL, everyone needs massive amounts of sexy cuteness to start their day with, I'm glad this was mine.

I don't kow why I'm All Over this Meme by dugindeep
J2 AU, NC-17
It wasn’t explicit, but they’re just 15, and it’s a decent sex scene packed into 90 minutes of college hilarity. How could Jared not feel something about it? OMFG so much yes. *moans*

I WANT THIS TO BE A REAL LENGTH FIC, omg, so much.

The Decisions We Make by garvaldmains
J2 AU, NC-17
Jensen is an orphan, fostered by the Padalecki’s, the product of a lonely childhood he is thrown into the Padalecki life and into the life of his new foster brother Jared. At nine they have nothing in common, at sixteen the introverted, closed off, snarky Jensen still has nothing in common with the wild child, firebrand, free spirit that is Jared, but the decisions they make in life mean that eventually this could all change.
This is easily one of the best AUs in fandom. I doubt there is anyone that read my journal that hasn't read this fic. I just happen to click on it today by accident and got caught up in it again. I think I've actually read it like 4 times - yes, its that good. I keep thinking I need to say something profound about a story of this caliber to try to do it justice with a description. But really, I don't need to. The very few that haven't read it can look at the many hundred - srsly - of comments to know that its a beautiful, amazing well written story. I've already posted about this story, but I figured anything I've read four times deserves another go.

So here is the deal, there was a recent post on spnstoryfinders asking for hurt Dean or something like that. Anyway, the topic interests me and there were a ton of links. I'm going through them. Some are really good. I'm still working through so there may be more to come.


We Belong Together by not_refined
SPN AU, PG-13
Wincest AU. Sam and Dean, growing up and growing closer together in the ordinary world. I'm not sure how I missed posting about this when I read it almost a year ago. But when I stumbled across it again I found it tore me up just as much the second time around. Hauntingly beautiful. Dean being fragile like this makes my heart clinch. I love how wonderful John is to both the boys in this. Anyway, I'm sure most people have read it as not_refined is well known for some really amazing stories. Like the Still Life 'verse. The damage done to Dean only makes him more beautiful. The innocence and struggle of life that make up the fabric of Dean and Sam's life in that story is breathtaking. These two stories just really touch something deep in me.


Nothing Dark by evening_spirit
J2 AU, NC-17
Jared thinks his life sucks (even if he denies feeling bad about). He starts college, which he didn't want and he swears he will not make friends there. But then he meets another student, a boy with emerald eyes, who draws and draws, and draws . . . Jensen is an amazing artist, he's mysteriously shy, and Jared finds himself fascinated to the point of obsession. Can anyone explain to me why stories like this are so immensely intriguing to me? I mean, yes, the writing is good and I like the characters and all that, but why is young, confused Jared and a 'damaged' Jensen so mesmerizing? (And I mean that in terms of 'damaged!Jensen', not as in someone with his disability being damaged, k?) Is it the childlike innocence that somehow can merge and weave seamlessly with mature, adult actions? I honestly don't know why, but stories like this always snag my attention. When they are written well then its a win-win for me - this was, btw, a win-win.


Of Black Dogs and ASL by smokeyhorse
SPN AU, PG, Gen
A miscommunication results in a hurt 10-year-old Dean and a heart-to-heart between Sam and John. AU - deaf!Dean. Schmoop! This is a short little thing, but it is absolutely touching and darling. Little Sam was adorably cute, Dean is more of a concept - and him being deaf is just plain interesting to me, and John is very John, but maybe he'll get a clue in this world. Anyway, I really really wish this were a larger 'verse. The author did the characters great and I love the emotion of the story.


Sleepless Night by prepare4trouble
SPN, PG, Gen
After being injured on a hunt, Dean tries to carry on as normal. Man, I think I might have actually sniffled on the last line. Poor Dean. My only complaint is that it is too short. I just got into it!

Everything Feels Like the End of the World by chash
J2 AU, NC-17
Jared Padalecki is ridiculously and pathetically in love with this hot senior who's really into acting. So, clearly, the only solution is to get into acting and go from there.
You remember that boy (or girl) in highschool that made your toes curl and your heart pound? Yeah, I remember him. I remember how it really did feel like I had something fluttering around in my belly and I think my fingers might literally burn off from the intense yearning burning through them to just touch him touch him touch him. I was madly, intensely, hopelessly in love in highschool. This fic? Feels just like that. It brought back every yearning, usting moment.

And then it flipped.

It became this completely mature, normal adult finding this person that they just clicked with. Someone they enjoy spending time with. Someone that makes you smile because they've left you a completely average text message. And you know what? The story became even better. The story became a realistic happy ending. The story became about two guys I might know. A story about two typical people possibly dating in what could be a typical relationship.
Yeah, chash owns my heart right about now.

LOL, the only difference between every highschool crush I had or remember my friends having? We'd never heard of cell phones... Oh, how times change.

I've read this before, but its just as hot the second time around. I don't care what canon says - This is Sam and Dean Winchester.


Dessertion by roque_clasique
SPN, Gen, PG
Dean and kids - There's a kid hidden in the Impala! So someone else just posted this as a rec and I can't remember who! But I want to thank them. This is a very sweet little gen Dean fic. The kind that makes your heart ache a little for Dean. The kind that kinda makes you want to hug him a little. The kind that makes you want to shake John and Sam for not realizes what an amazing person they've have their whole lives even when they treat him like dirt. The kind that make you want to read Daddy Dean fics! *sigh* Yeah, its just kinda sweet, ya know?


Happy Little Trees, or, The Bob Ross Fic by berrylicious877
J2 AU, NC-17
Jensen is unemployed and spends his days watching tv. He finds a show called Painting with Jared and becomes obsessed. I'm not sure what is more disturbing - the fact that someone wrote a Bob Ross J2 fic, the fact that someone wrote an NC-17 Bob Ross J2 fic, or the fact that I was strangely fascinated and now really want to hear Jared say 'oh some happy little trees over here' in an insane sort of way... *sigh* Yeah, its schmoopalicous, but as I said - strangely fascinating. LOL

The One Where Jensen's Off In L.A.... by waterofthemoon and unperfectwolf
Yes, its j2 crack, but its extremely funny j2 crack!


Stretch Right Up and Touch the Sky by felisblanco A J2 AU
Jared’s life changed forever the day Jensen transferred to his school two years ago. It must have been destiny that brought them together because Jensen was without a doubt meant to be his forever soulmate and the love of his life. Too bad Jensen had no idea Jared even existed
Its an awesome story. It's *not* crack - in fact it is a really good romance - but some parts were so funny I could not stop giggling! Ben - the OMC as Jared does not have a younger brother - was awesome, such an annoying little shit. And there were times when things just really 'hit', ya know? Like when Jared's parents found out. Ouch, but good reading. OMG, and the sex? Funny, hot sex. Glorious! OH! and Jared's hiccups - too funny! Okay, obviously I'm all over the place on this one, but it was really good and I'm just glad I finally found enough time to sit down and read it all!

EDIT In fact, I just went and read this for the 3rd time while updating my tags and loved it just as much. Its one of my all time favorite highschool AUs. ~ 10/26/09

A couple of Highschool AUs...*melts* I so love them in highschool AUs.

Judging Time By the Streetlights by toxica939
J2, hard R
High school AU. The one where Jensen isn't a miserable, tortured artist type but Jared is an Adonis. Disjointed and very emo, but crazily enough a really good story. It just has a great 'teenage angst/young love' feel that I adore.


Every puppy should have a boy by dev_earl
J2, NC-17
Seeing puppies clinging to Jensen's leather jacket that day wasn't the first time Jared fell in love. It wasn't even the thirteenth time.
The usting and the crushing and then finally the dating...yeah, still *melt*ing here. The sex is a little unbelievable for a first time, but still rocking hot. Of course, the bestest bestest part is the dating. Makes me want to either *swoon* or *flail* (and each time I read it I do both!) The idea of the two of them doing something as leisurely as Jared nuzzling up Jensen's neck after a game of basketball while hanging out with their friends? Yeah, gets me right *there* (dude, I meant my belly, geez! *winks*)

Shake Off the Ashes of Yesterday by leonidaslion
SPN, NC-17
Sam stayed in college, but Dean shows up at graduation and all those things they refuse to say to one another... they all get said. And done. This bleeds with Dean's uncertainty and weariness and Sam's vehement entreaty that Dean face this, face them makes you feel the deep wanting very clearly. The last line wraps up beautifully exactly who and what Sam and Dean have, who they are to each other.

Kissing 101 by selecasharp
SPN, PG-13, underage
Fic prompt from spnkink_meme - "Please, some kissing or mak[ing] out while they're underage (Sam between 12 and 14)". (Sam is 13) This had me *EEP* and *MEEP* by the end. Cute and sweet, but with a naughty hotness to it that I loved. And it left me wanting more - to know what happens next- omg, pleeez there needs to be more hot teenchester kissage (and possibly some heavy petting and groping!)

With Many A Winding Turn by lazy_daze
J2 + Jeff Padalecki, NC-17

Before I read this I wrote to lazy_dazy and said 'I don't want to read this'. I really really didn't.

Because..why? Because there is something different about adding Jared's real life brother to the mix? I don't know, it just seemed.. wrong. But that isn't why I didn't want to read it. I didn't want to read it because I knew I knew I would like it. lazy_daze is incapable of writing bad fic. I knew it was going to be good. I knew I was going to cross one more of those lines in the dirt that I never thought I'd cross. ...

Yeah, I was pretty much right.
Because the fic is damn good. Hot, sexy, unique and just that side of wrong and dirty to inflame your senses, but with enough tenderness, love and loyalty to make it a J2 classic. So, please be sure to read the warnings before you click.

In fact, here they are:
Jensen/Jared/Jeff Padalecki in all possible combinations as pairings and threesome; long-term Jared/Jeff.
A/N: YES, Jeff Padalecki, YES, Padaleckicest. Hence WARNING for (fully consensual) incest.

Possibly this is just an excuse to use that word! Padaleckicest Padaleckicest.

Remember, you can always just choose *not* to click, but don't bitch if you do.

...With Benefits by jellybean_slash
SPN, PG-13
High school sweethearts sometimes choose to mark the occasion when their relationship becomes monogamous, officially -- often referred to as 'going steady.' Despite their... unique circumstances, Sam and Dean don't wind up being all that different. You haveNo idea how intensely happy this fic makes me. One of the things that I crave crave crave crave is 'dating' fics.

In all my fandoms I just get madly excited about the thought of some non-canon couple 'dating' or doing 'dating' things while still in the context of their canon relationship. I loved Spike being Buffy's highschool boyfriend even though he was an evil old vampire. I adored Draco and Harry walking to class holding hands while arguing over quidditch with Ron and Greg. To have Sam and Dean still 'be' brothers (not just by having it stated, but by feelings and thoughts as this fic does) and yet bring in the actions and notions of 'dating' - I am verklempt with SQUEE. Sure, there are massive amounts of fics (great fics) that have them in some deep physical/emotional relationship, but this is 'dating'!!! This is BEING BOYFRIENDS. I just..I can't even explain what this does to me. I think - no, I KNOW this is why J2 appeals to me so much. Its almost all about dating in those stories. And I LOVE IT.

Gah, so that is my (not so) dirty little (not)secret: I love vanilla dating fics. Its my ultimate kink. Call me a Wild Child.

Anyway, this is short (would love to see MORE), but it hits my biggest squee factor in that it walks a great balance between teenage Sam & Dean being brothers and being boyfriends. And its got adorkable awkward Dean, which is even more of WIN.

*hugs fandom*

You And Me Baby...Ain't Nothing But Mammals by bimosexual

Sam has an affinity for animals, always wanted a pet. But Dean's sudden One Man Menagerie...wasn't exactly what he'd had in mind Charmingly funny! With adorable sweetness dashed on top.


In the Beached Margin of the Sea by rivers_bend
SPN, NC-17
Sam and Dean black out on a hunt, and when they wake up, Dean's having visions and Sam can't get new, strange feelings out of his head. When John finds out about the side effects, he'll do anything to get rid of the "curse". But Sam and Dean don't want to go back to the way things were before. This, of course, sent me into *FLAIL* after about 2 paragraphs. Ahh, so good. Sam and Dean and their angst and usting and devotion are awesome, but what really squeezed by heart tight was John. Such amazing job with John's character here. And, of course, 'John Knows' is one of my all-time favorite kinks.

After Hours by burned_phoenix
J2 AU, NC-17
Inspired by this: Today, while in our communal showers in the highschool football locker room, I started to swing my penis around because it feels good and I was alone. Two minutes later the rest of the team hops into the shower with me. 30 dudes, one self-induced boner. Dude, I mentioned earlier that cheerleader Jensen just rocks my socks. And this, my friends, is pure porn. Lovely, wet porn.


Your Silence Speaks Volumes by build_the_moon
J2, PG-13
Jensen has a very public flub that he can’t get over. It also leads him to confront the source of the flub – one Mr. Jared Padalecki. Just a schmoopy little fic about how we all wish it could be. *mopeysigh* And then I followed it with another of the author's fics Don't Confess (This Thing That Breaks My Heart) which I kinda love because Jensen is a perfect boyfriend. He isn't always a great guy. And that is probably much closer to a realistic portrayal than most fans want to admit. (I'm not saying he isn't a good guy! Just a normal guy- meaning he most certainly can be an ass sometimes.)

Sam and Dean love each other. And there is flirting and boy kissage and DATING. How did I not know this existed?!? This is adorable schmoopy dating your brother awesomeness! And the author also has an nice hot wake up sex ficlet. Until the Sun Comes Shining Through. Yum.


Beneath the Skin by estrella30
SPN, PG-13/R
Dean has a scar. Reading this feels like I've found an ancient coin in the sand or dusted off an antique from someone's attic. Its beautiful, and kind of painful because its such a reminder of how things were. This story was actually written before I even started watching the show. I don't know why, but it really touched me just now.

Days Like This by killabeez
SPN/AtS, gen, PG-13
Tentacles. Why did it have to be tentacles? I have NO idea why, but I got a wild hair and decided I wanted to read some Supernatural - Joss 'Verse crossovers. Came outta nowhere! Anyway, this little piece of fiction was just the ticket. Angel and Dean get stuck in the sewer while chasing something and Spike and Sam are the rescue team. Nice, easy flow and cool character interaction.

Which lead by to musesfool's Process Stories, another Supernatural/Buffy crossover. Only this has (het *gasp*) Buffy/Sam kissage. Dang it. How come there isn't more well written realistic xovers for these to fandoms?

Remember When You Had My Name Scratched On Your Heart by verbalavalanche
SPN AU, Hard R
It goes in this order: Sam, Mom, Dad, God. *deepbreath* Damn, this fucking about killed me. So heartbreaking. Beautiful and poetic, but so very painful and heart wrenching. And what sucks is that you finally figure out that Dean is choosing this path for himself, denying himself his heart. The tiny flashback to little Dean with Mary just about cracked my heart in two.


We Can Make Origami With the Kids For a while by wanttobeatree
J2, PG
In which Chad has kids and they need babysitting. As this author says: Here is a slice of ridiculous schmoopy plotless kidfic. CMM's children may be the most awesome kids ever - adorable little terrors! A fun, cute read. And I adore the massive use of 'boyfriends'. (And LOLOL - the part about united cooties!!!!!!)


Can't (But I Can) and I Hear Your Hand and Too Late by mishaphappens
SPN, PG, Gen (or pre-slash if you want, :D)
Sam has to work harder, harder than everybody else, because they can retain a hundred percent of their surroundings. Sam receives only eighty percent. You’re working with four out of five senses, John always tells him. Four out of five. Those are Sam’s numbers, the definition of his being, the handicap that describes who he is, the only thing he’s ever going to be. Beautiful and very well done story. Somewhat haunting and broken, but yet also not... Just a story about a family and their lives, the good and the bad. I love that Dean and Sam are just as close in this world as in canon - that they 'talk' so much. I love that they fight like any other brothers, but still love with that special Winchester fierceness. The last one makes you hate and pity John at the same time. Yet you know John wouldn't be so fucked up if he didn't love so very intensely. Just like his boys.



All We Ask by theyscreamofyou
SPN AU, R
When you were five, you met your father for the first time. This is not in a style I usually care for. Its stark with almost no dialog. But its very well down - there is a stillness to it, like a lake of deep pain that is so full but still and quiet on the surface. Its sad, but with a hopeful ending. It makes you stop and think and visualize what Dean is perceiving, all the while telling you exactly how it is in a detached sort of feel.



Centuries of Stony Sleep Were Vexed To Nightmare by britomart_is
SPN, NC-17
Morally-ambiguous!Winchesters, apocalypse, consensual sex with severe power imbalance. The Antichrist needs an heir. Ok so this also really isn't my usual style of fic. I am not a big fan of Evil!Sam or Sam as the 'antichrist'. (In fic, lets not talk about the show, k?) And although the sex is technically 'het', it really is Sam/Dean Wincest.
However, I don't want to sound like I didn't like it. britomart_is is a talented writer and made a plot I wouldn't normally care for a good read. Quality writing is kind of awesome like that. And if you do happen to like Evil!Sam then you really will love this.

(il)Licit by hegemony
J2, NC-17
There's a part of Jensen dealing with the business that has always been mysterious. Jared finds out what it is, but can he handle the enticement of the images that stay with him afterward? Porn and hot sex. ... *blinks* Wha? Really, you think there should be more? Go back and look *points* - porn and hot sex. Oh yes, there is even a decent plot too. *winks*


Through The Years by sammyndeansgrl1
J2 AU, NC-17
They've known each other Jared's entire life...this is a story of love, denial and prejudice - and reflecting back through their time together. You know what I really like about this story - I mean, it is a decent read with some schmoop, some pretty hot sex, a nice dose of hurt/comfort to give it some angsting and tension - but what I really like is how Jared and Jensen refer to the other as their husband. They aren't technically married because of state laws, but they had a ceremony and consider themselves married. Now, I know that may not seem like a big deal. But its the way the term is used. Not overly done, but when needed to make a statement "You forgot to mention I'm married!" or the casual use of 'husband'. I don't know, I just like it. I keep telling you guys, I'll read the kinkiest kink that ever kinked, but if you really wanna get my gears going then give me VANILLA baby - domestic fics with laundry, children and trying to get a quicky in without waking up your in-laws. *shakes head* I'm sure Dean would act very disappointed. (Which I think would be an act - I think Dean Winchester always has makes sweet luv behind closed doors and its Little Sammy that gets rough and kinky in the back alleys!)


Unlisted by vamphile
SPN, PG
It’s good to have your priorities in order. All I can say is that: There needs to be more of this. Its a perfect tone and could lead into a hella case-fic full of wincesty goodness. And: I want to know what else is on that list!


And So Never Ending by lazy_daze
SPN, NC-17
Loosely set in the same verse as the previous watersports fics, but you don't need to read, just know there's an established relationship with a D/s flavour. WARNING for very graphic dirty watersports. Dirty filthy raunchy vulgar indecent - so very much so. *whimpers* yes yes yes

Donuts and Deutschland by malcolm_stjay
SPN, NC-17
Sam’s having trouble with homework, so Dean helps him out. Things get a bit out of hand. Holy fuck. I might have had much better grades in school , (and to steal borrow the title from another amazing fic), but then my homework was never quite like this! LOL. Srsly, Sammy had the fucking (pun intended) champion of tutors.


malcolm_stjay also wrote Sub Rosa which is a Sam/Dean retelling of Beauty & the Beast. It is just too cute. At first you think it really doesn't read like Sam and Dean - then the Beast opens his mouth and he is so very *Dean*. Pie is awesome. It was cute and sweet and an interesting setting for the Winchester (not)brothers. So although its Sam/Dean it isn't Wincest as they aren't related. PG


Make My Head Spin by no_apologies_86
SPN, R
Dean gets Sam high and likes the effect is has on his brother. It feels like a snippet in the middle of an amazing epic story - 'how they got there' and 'what comes next' scenes are just flickering through my head like crazy. A seriously hot slow burn.


Schemes (Are Not Just for Melodramatic Bond Villians) by atimi
J2 AU, NC-17
While broadening his gay horizons, architect!Jared meets waiter!Jensen at a strip club. Jensen is shy, Jared is smitten, and Jeff is a smarmy bastard. A light hearted romcom with just enough angst to keep it from being over the top schmoop. The image of Jensen in this story is of luminous, fragile beauty which is so very alluring. But the real joy of this story is Jared's inner voice - it is cracktastically hilarious. I LOLed quite a few times.


Terraform by gilascave
J2 AU, R
Jensen works for the Terraformation Department, monitoring a planet almost ready for settlement. Jared is a bartender new to the station, who decides to make Jensen his own personal project. Will he succeed, or is Jared hiding a more sinister purpose? And with Jensen's own secrets to hide, will it ultimately matter? This was rec'd (by someone else) over at crack_impala and OMG! they were so right - "what's not to love"?! Its so cute and unique. Its so very AU, with robots and living on a spacecraft, but it is also so very much 'in-character'. A total WIN for this fic.
