Summary: Jensen belongs to a team of mercenary vigilantes that is trying to stop a group of anarchists whose goal is the dissolution of the USA. They get information that a student group on UT Dallas campus is harboring at least one of the major players, and Jensen is assigned to an undercover mission to infiltrate the group.
His first day on campus, he meets a final-year PhD student named Jared who would be exactly Jensen’s type - if he weren’t a prime suspect. Move by move, like chess pieces, actions escalate, and the stakes get higher. Jensen and his colleagues are dealing with computer espionage, bombings, and kidnapping threats, as the institutions of government waver around them, threatening to fall. Ultimately, Jensen is forced to make a choice that pits revenge and love against the greater good.

Jensen Ackles has done a bang up job of one and two but three has remained elusive for the better part of five years. Now, thanks to an unfortunate You Tube video post, he is not only coming out to the world but he has to do it as part of the world’s first gay Hollywood power couple.

Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 96,645
Summary: RPS fusion based on the movie Avatar. Marine Jensen Ackles thinks his life is over when he becomes paralyzed in the course of duty, but when his twin brother is killed in a robbery everything changes. Struggling to make sense of his loss, Jensen decides to take his brother's place in a mission on the distant moon of Pandora, where a private corporation has a large mining concern. New cutting-edge technology allows Jensen to form a psychic link with an avatar - an artificially-grown body composed of the DNA of both humans and the Na'vi, the aliens native to Pandora- and thus interact directly with the otherwise hostile, if beautiful planet.
In exchange for the spinal surgery that will allow him to regain the use of his legs, Jensen agrees to infiltrate the Na'vi. Once he's there, though, he becomes close with the tribe, particularly the chief's son, Jared, his guide and mentor. Under Jared's tutelage, a whole new world opens up for Jensen, along with the first blossom of love. But when tensions between the Navi and the military branch of the human operations run too high, Jensen is faced with having to make a choice between the world he comes from and the world where he has found love and where, for the first time in his life, he truly feels at home.

Seventeen and not a care in the world, he's not expecting the life that's waiting for him: endless days at the pond, laying out in the park and those nights pulled up in fields with the radio up high.
