I still have two more fics left to read but here are the recs for now.
Title: East of the Sun and West of the Moon
Author: laulan
Pairing:: Jared/Jensen
Rating: R
Word Count: ~31,000
Summary: A practical carpenter, Jensen doesn’t believe in magic or fairytales--but when a messenger appears from thin air looking for him, he finds himself drawn into a quest to rescue a man he has no memory of, who just happens to be trapped in a place no one knows how to get to. No pressure, right? Set in modern times with fantasy elements.
Title: In retrospect (I’d rather have been a poet. Or a farmer)
Author: jasmasson
Pairing:: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 23,000
Summary:
“It’s in the car,” Jared said, slightly sheepishly.
Jensen’s look spoke volumes.
“What? It was just an errand.” Jared said, shrugging. “You shouldn’t need automatic weapons just to go to the bank. And anyway. You always do the shooting. I do the talking. The planning. The charming.”
Jensen snorted indelicately. “Thank you, 007.”
Title: Like Tipping an Hourglass
Author: _leafy
Pairing:: Jared/Jensen, Jensen/Steve
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~23,000
Summary: Working at the hospital ER can be stressful. Patients are being wheeled in left and right, the hours are long and the coffee is stale. Still, Jared Padalecki is a doctor who enjoys his job. He even enjoys spending time with his sometimes annoying coworkers, even if they tease him about his crush on a certain physical therapist called Jensen Ackles, who just happens to work at the same hospital. Jensen is a guy who likes to keep his personal life private, but that's okay because Jared's pretty sure Jensen isn't even gay, and being friends with him is more than enough. But what happens when one day the patient you are treating turns out to be the boyfriend of your not-so-secret crush?
Jared is forced to face his true feelings while Jensen struggles to decide what to do with his life. Should he stay with the man who needs him, even though their relationship had already been over before the accident? Or should he move on with his life and pursue his own happiness instead?
Title: Mirror, Mirror
Author: candygramme
Pairing:: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 29,477
Summary: Jensen Ackles is a well-respected photographer, courted by the media and the shiny people of Tinseltown. Sadly, he's getting bored with success and beginning to become self destructive. In an attempt to break Jensen out of his ennui, his friend, Steve Carlson, offers him a challenge. "Take the first person we meet when we leave the party and make them into a star before the year is over..."
Title: Tell Them We're Like Magnets
Author: _mournthewicked
Pairing:: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 83,000
Summary: The story of Jared and Jensen's life together reads sort of like a fairytale. Come on, childhood friends growing up and falling in love? It doesn't get much sweeter than that. But now their perfect summer has ended, and it's time to go off to college. They're more than ready to tackle this new chapter of their lives together, but deadlines, scheduling conflicts, and epic misunderstandings threaten to make the journey harder, and the outcome uncertain. The boys soon learn that not everything comes easy, that sometimes just being in love isn't enough, and they find themselves struggling to keep their grip on what matters most - each other. (Fifth installment in the reinventing love 'verse. Previous reading is highly recommended.)
Title: Topspin
Author: lazy_daze
Pairing:: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~50,000
Summary: Defending Wimbledon champion and world No. 1 tennis player Jensen Ackles is determined to hang on to his title, no matter how good Jared Padalecki, rising star on the tennis scene, thinks he is. With Padalecki's new reckless style, explosive power and natural grace pitted against Jensen's own beautifully strategic, strong and watertight game - all that's for sure is that this is going to be one Wimbledon final match not to be missed. With a media-painted rivalry turning into a mutual dislike that's almost as explosive as the badly-hidden attraction sparking in the air, there's more than a tennis ball flying between them.
When tension explodes into more, and more becomes again and again, how will this unexpected connection affect them, their games, their careers? Will they be able to put aside everything that's against them and make something real out of what was never meant to happen in the first place? And as emotions get stronger and the competitions fiercer and Wimbledon's upon them again, history will repeat; and under the English July sun, new history will be made.
Title: With You Under A Cold, Bright Sky
Author: arabia764
Pairing: : Jensen/Jared, Chris/Steve
Rating: NC17
Word Count: ~120,000
Summary:At seventeen, Jensen thought he knew what his future would be; a life spent in the circus, and so he didn't see much point in attending a sports camp for gifted athletes. Until he met a brilliant young gymnast called Jared. Together, all their hopes and dreams were just within reach when one split second of carelessness shattered everything, tearing them apart for years.
Back together as grown men, they try to create a new future, with new dreams, on a cold mountainside on the other side of the world.
