Title: I’ll Take Second Chances for $1000, Alex!
Author: __tiana__
Pairing: Jensen/Jared
Rating: R
Word Count: 24,500
Summary: Jared Padalecki is used to having all the answers. With an IQ over 170 and a near photographic memory, applying to compete in the Jeopardy College Tournament is a no-brainer. When he finds out his high school Quiz Bowl nemesis and epic crush, Jensen Ackles, is trying out, too, Jared is torn between anger and excitement.
Unexpected sparks fly when they meet again, but it's not long before Jared realizes Jensen is one puzzle he can't quite figure out. Instead of all the answers, he's got nothing but questions.
Title: Obliviously Lost/Accidentally Found
Author: raeschae
Pairing: Jensen/Jared
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~ 35,500
Summary: Jared is a people finder, passionate about reuniting broken and separated families, but he's about to uncover one family secret that may be better left buried and forgotten. Concept inspired by WEtv's The Locator.
Title: Palladium
Author: zuben_eschamali
Pairing: Jensen/Jared
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 64,263
Summary: Jared Padalecki was sixteen when Earth was invaded, shattering the world as he knew it. A year later, he was stunned when the leader of the human resistance, Jensen Ackles, was captured by the aliens, crushing the humans' last gasp of hope. Since then, Jared has made it his life's mission to rescue and restore Jensen, even if he never expects to get the chance to do either. But when that chance unexpectedly comes, Jared has to overcome the obstacles that he's put in his own way before he can work with his former hero, who's been a captive for years. If they can overcome the ways they've both been changed, they might be able to figure out a way to stop the invaders and maybe even save the world.
Title: Pick Up Your Crazy Heart (And Give It One More Try)
Author: akintay
Pairing: Jensen/Jared
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~ 59,000
Summary: Supernatural is easily the best thing that ever happened to Jensen - he's finally the lead on a TV show, plays a badass demon hunter every day, and works with Jared. Over time, their friendship grows, enough so that they spend most of their free time together and Jensen becomes unofficial co-parent to Jared's dogs. It works out perfectly, until things get complicated after a random hook-up that leaves Jensen confused and their friendship cracked. Jensen's never planned on settling down with another person; but when he realizes his feelings for Jared aren't going to disappear, he starts to wonder if maybe he's ready to give it a try.
Title: To Stand Close
Author: arabia764
Pairing: Jensen/Jared
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~ 63,000
Summary: This is a world where one country has cut itself off; closed and mysterious to everyone else. What's the secret it's hiding? Slavery. But the country goes on as normal, competes with the rest of the world at sport just as normal, to prove that it's the best.
Jensen accepts that, and is happy in his own small, simple world as a gymnastics coach. He accepts because he's never known anything else, but he stays away from the cruel realities of slavery till he's given a present he doesn't want.
As for love? Well, he loves his sport, isn't that enough?
Title: Those Were The Days (My Friend)
Author: antarshakes
Pairing: Jensen/Jared, Jared/Genevieve
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 37,400
Summary: It’s 1997 and Jared’s back in his small Texas hometown that he vowed he would never come back to. With a writer’s block and a fiancé left back in San Francisco and no desire to tell anyone about it, he runs into his three childhood best friends Mikey, Tommy and the guy who has been the cause of Jared’s vow: Jensen. Now that Jared’s back, he needs to reconcile who he once was and what he has now become. But with the help of the people who used to know him better than he knew himself, Jared might be able to figure everything out.
Title: We've Been Traveling Over Rocky Ground
Author: the_milky_way
Pairing: Jensen/Jared
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~ 37,000
Summary: Times are rough and the future is not as brilliant as people hoped it would be. Half of the country’s a desert, the other half constantly fighting winter. Access to technology is restricted, watched over by a corrupt government and people have turned back to a simpler way of life.
Jensen’s a rancher with a ranch that hangs on a by thread. He struggles to make ends meet. Now someone powerful wants to take away what has been in his family for generations. His land. And that someone is willing to kill.
Jared’s a rebel, in the truest sense of the word. He fights for freedom, against half of the government and is always, always at the front line. But then a mission turns too hot and Jared’s forced into hiding. As luck will have it he ends up as a ranch hand on Jensen’s isolated land in the mountains.
Fighting the same enemy is what pushes them together in the end.
Title: Zero Minus One
Author: hugemind
Pairing: Jensen/Jared
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 31,800
Summary: Jensen Ackles, a disillusioned loner who clawed his way from the neon streets to the hacker elite, vows revenge on LenCorp, the megacorporation housing much of world's information. He gets caught during a run when he runs into strange code in their system and ends up in Jeff Morgan's team at Dallas Tactical, partnered with street-smuggler-turned-field-agent Jared Padalecki. Jared falls for the surly hacker with silvery polycarbon lenses covering his eyes and Jensen slowly warms to the kid whose loyalty has cost him an arm. Their routine work is interrupted when Jared's former partner is found dead. That sets off a chain of events revealing details of a hacker resistance, a corporate conspiracy and the strange code protecting LenCorp's servers that forces Jensen to run and decide who he can trust.
