Summary: Jared finally left Jensen when he was tired of always being the second choice to the other man. He worked thought the hard times on supernatural but was happy when the series finally ended.
Jensen was broken when Jared finally had enough, even though he always knew in the back of his mind that thing would eventually fall apart. He only realized what a fool he was letting Jared go after he had ruined things between them
This is the story of what happens when they meet again four years after supernatural ended.
Authors note 1: This is part of the
heartbreak verse, but reading it not requited.
Jensen looks at Jared and he knows his boyfriend is just as nervous as he is. The past few weeks had been hectic, and a lot of planning had needed to be done. But they were together and it had mostly been smooth sailing after their big fight
previous chapter They had shot the pilot for Kripke’s new show. Jared stared as the main character and Jensen directed. They even got Joseph and Olivia to play two minor characters. Jensen had lots of fun that one week they all spent on that episode. He and Jared had been ecstatic when they heard the show had been picked up by HBO.
Kripke’s PA comes walking into the room telling them they should come on in ten minutes.
Kripke had organized some kind of a series of interviews to announce his new show. Even though Jensen was behind the camera this time, Kripke had requested he be there to attract the interest of their old Supernatural following. He is sure that once they watch the pilot, they will be hooked.
Jensen had agreed, on one condition.
“I can’t believe Kripke has agreed for us to come out before the show even airs,” Jared says. It is obvious he is trying to make small talk to forget about his nerves, just like he always did.
“Are you kidding me?” Jensen says laughing. “Most of the Supernatural fans were rooting for us to hook up. This will make it big on that fandom. I thought he was going to kiss me when I suggested it.”
Jared smiles, but, before he can say anything, the same PA as before enters again. “Five more minutes,” she says before scurrying away.
“Are you ready?” Jared asks and there is a slight tremor in his voice.
Jensen nods and they both stand up. They can hear the fans through the door.
“This better be worth it,” Jared says with a grin before he kisses Jensen.
“Ever after,” Jensen whispers, and slides on his ring. He shows it to Jared.
Jared nods and slides on his own ring. The light above the door turns red, indicating they should go on stage. “Ever after,” he says and opens the door.
And they lived (ever after)
Authors note 2 There is a quote by Joshua Loth Liebman: "And they lived happily ever after” is one of the most tragic sentences in literature. It is tragic because it tells a falsehood about life and has led countless generations of people to expect something from human existence which is not possible on this fragile, imperfect earth. The “happy ending” obsession of Western culture is both a romantic illusions and a psychological handicap. It can never be literally true that love and marriage are unblemished perfections, for any worthwhile life has its trials, its disappointments, and its burning heartaches. Yet who can compare the numbers of people who have unconsciously absorbed this “and they lived happily ever after” illusion in their childhood and have thereafter been disappointed when life has not come up to their expectations and who secretly suffer from the jealous conviction that other married people know a kind of bliss that is denied them..Life is not paradise. It is pain, hardship, and temptation shot through with radiant gleams of light, friendship and love.
This is my take on that.
