Summary: Jensen works as a Chrono Tech, which is just a fancy title for being a time-traveling mechanic who fixes holes in the fabric of history. It's not exactly glamorous, but Jensen has learned to be content with his lot in life. Then he meets Jared and, suddenly, there's so much more to his life than just being content.
But Jensen's first loyalty must always be to the integrity of the time stream. And when Jared's very existence threatens to turn all of history inside out, Jensen is faced with the only decision he never wanted to make.

On AO3 ART POST Author's Notes and Acknowledgements: Oof, this one was a challenge. Between work, an unexpected trip to the hospital last week and me being, well, me, I'm vaguely surprised this one got finished at all. I'm sad that I didn't get to write about more of their time travel adventures, but I'm reasonably pleased with how it turned out.
