Recipe for a Successful Relationship (Masterpost)
Title: Recipe for a Successful Relationship
Characters/Pairing: Jared/Jensen, brief mention of past Jensen/JDM and Jared/Misha, Genvieve Cortese, Jake Abel
Rating: R
Word Count: ~12,300
Warnings: language, gratuitous food porn, mention of casual drug use
Summary: If there’s one thing Jared Padalecki knows, it’s food. His butter-poached lobster with a butternut squash gratin could make you weep and if challenged he could julienne a carrot with his eyes closed. He’s at home in the kitchen and now-busier than ever with his own restaurant-he occasionally feels like the kitchen is his home. That isn’t to say he’s not happy, though-because he is. Real happy. In fact, things outside the kitchen are better than ever as his relationship with his best friend, Jensen Ackles, begins to evolve from casual sex into something more. All that’s left is to figure out how to balance his personal and professional life, which should be about as easy as the perfect consommé.

Notes: First and foremost, I would like to thank my lovely artist lamapan. This is my first year participating in the challenge and I was immediately inspired by her prompt. I've always wanted to write a chef AU and am thrilled she provided me with the opportunity. She made every step of this crazy process a complete joy and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to collaborate with. I recommend you check out the art post immediately because gorgeous doesn't even begin to describe her illustrations. Thank you, darling! So happy to have worked with you.
I’d also like to thank the wonderful tsubasalove87 for their speedy beta work. Any remaining mistakes are my own.
Also, thank you to the mods at spn-reversebang for running such a great challenge! ♥
