Rec Right Now
Dead Like You | strangeallure | Jared sort of figured that death would mean a change in location. He just didn't think he'd have to move to Los Angeles and start working as a grim reaper. Every day, he and his colleagues (Jensen, Misha, Genevieve and their boss Loretta) meet up at the Bavarian Waffle House to get their assignments. After a rough start, Jared and Jensen just click - and decide that there's really no reason for dead guys to play by the rules. They have questions, and a road trip to Texas might help them get some answers. (While this fic is based on the premise of "Dead Like Me", it's not a retelling. This universe has its own rules and its own story, sprinkled with occasional references to the source.)
GOD I think this was one of the most satisfying BBs I've read this year, to date. I'm so jumpy right now because this story had just such a ... I don't wanna use satisfying again lol but I will! ... ending that I'm excited over it. I had planned to sit down and read this over a few nights, but I just couldn't stop and kept going, wanting to see and know more of Jared in this new world of his, of him and Jensen developing a great friendship and all that. There are sad, tense moments that are treated with great care, and then those that are supposed to be light and easy and hysterical and I was right there with each one. Beyond a great, winding story and fun characters (Misha is pure fun), the narration is wry and playful in all the right places. And it features cranky, funny Jensen, which is always aces in my book.
