Title: I Am It
Author: standing_fic
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 30,569
Summary: AU. Jensen's just left his entire life behind in Chicago to prove to himself once and for all whether he's born to be a dancer. He really doesn't think so, but fellow dancer Jared has never been more sure of anything else. When Michael Jackson dies suddenly, leaving this whirlwind of a tour at a stand-still, Jensen, Jared, and the rest of the dancers struggle to make sense of the fact that all they just worked so hard for has just exhaled into a fading sunset.
The goal of any artist is to be able to celebrate passion, creativity, inspiration, and the relationships that get us through it all. Jensen's journey tells the story of Michael Jackson's influences, the impact he's had on everything that came after him, and how this elite group of modern hip hop dancers pulls it all together and makes it their own
Title: I Know What a Prince and Lover Ought to Be
Author: anamuan
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC17
Word Count: 33,360
Summary: AU. There are two things that young Prince Jensen knows: a) the Padaleckis are liars and traitors, and b) Jay is his best friend. Unfortunately, while it is quite easy to avoid Padaleckis, it's rather difficult to sneak out into the woods to play with Jay, so it takes a long time for them to collect the magic pebbles Jay needs so he can wish for a puppy.
Title: Redemption
Author: ancastar
Pairing:: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC17
Word Count: 102,565
Summary: AU. It's a different world. Space has been colonized, the wealthy fly to work rather than drive, and slavery is legal.
Jared's family has been ripped apart by tragedy. The only way he can save the ones left is to offer himself up as a bondmate. The more he's willing to give, the higher the price he can command. And Jared is willing to give a lot.
Jensen is wealthy and heartbroken after the wife he adored walked out on him. He isn't looking for love. All he wants is a relationship he can control. Buying a bondmate seems like the perfect solution.
Yet when he purchases Jared's contract, he gets more than he bargained for.

Pairing: Jared/Jensen, Chris/Steve (background)
Rating: PG13
Word Count: 24,497
Summary: AU. My name is Jensen Ackles and I'm a wizard. No, seriously. Hell, I even advertise. Cross my heart. Check the Yellow Pages, I'm right there. Under 'Wizards'.
When Chris Kane, detective with the Special Investigations Unit, asks Jensen to consult on a gruesome murder case, Jensen doesn't know what he's getting himself into. Within days he has to find the killer, solve the case and try to stay alive, as apparently more than one powerful creature is interested in the outcome of this case. Or rather with the case never being solved.
Title: The Kids Are Alright (And the Sky is Blue)

Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Rating: R
Word Count: ~ 59,000
Summary: AU. Jared comes back from a semester abroad to find his sister in the hospital and his entire life uprooted. Still reeling from the 28 hour trip and the news that his sister had kept from him, Jared finds himself thrown in the deep end at the hospital. With his entire life in chaos and Jared fighting to keep his head above water, he finds a lifesaver in Jensen, the guy who volunteers and always seems to be in the right place at the right time.
Title: The Lake House
Author: sanann
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~ 27,000
Summary: AU. Based on the movie “The Lake House”. Jared is a doctor working in Chicago, moving out of the Lake House, built with glass. Jensen is an architect and a new owner of the Lake House.

Title: The Tragedy of Life
Author: lizzywinks
Pairing: Jared/Jensen,
Rating: NC17
Word Count: 54,000
Summary: AU. The only luck Jensen seems to be having lately is bad - he's accidentally come out to his family and been disowned (sort of), had his lyrics stolen by his best friend (now ex) who he last saw sipping champagne on an episode of CMT Cribs, and is one late rent payment from being thrown out on his ass because apparently no one wants to buy insurance from a guy with an eyepatch (don't ask).
But things finally start to look up when he meets his hot new neighbor, Jared, and of course that's when Jensen has to go and get himself killed.
Turns out the afterlife? Not all it's cracked up to be. And his death coach is kind of a douche, too.
