J2 engagement & marriage fics
Coffeemaker, Fettuccini and a Silver Ring by
thehighwaywomanI have such a huge soft spot for this fic. The Jared voice is funny and sweet and just pretty damn wonderful. In fact, that’s how the whole story. Jared ponders proposing to Jensen. “It's when he's slouching by the espresso maker, still yawning, tasting cinnamon when he breathes in and out, that the light bulb comes on, slowly warming to a glow over his head. He's waiting for the coffee to brew, inhaling appreciatively of the strong aroma climbing up his nose, thinking happily about the way Jensen wakes up when a strong mug of coffee is offered to him -- a puzzled frown morphing to a small, sleepy smile, his hand lingering on Jared's when he accepts the offering.”
Derelict by
tru_faith_lostIntricately written with a wonderful build up and an exciting dollop of angst. Jared buys a ring and decides it’s for Sandy…maybe. A trip away with Jensen and an accident, force him to reconsider.
Gold Band by
splashpinkShort, sweet, sexy story of Jared’s thoughts on his and Jensen’s wedding night. “Jensen hadn’t been a good blushing bride. He’d blushed alright, but then he did that every time he dropped his pants in wardrobe, and he’d pulled off the whole ‘too pretty to be true’ bridal ideal with far too little effort. But there had been no threshold carrying, and Jared had been raised on Disney, thank you very much. There was always threshold carrying.”
Hitching Post by
destinaThis tale has such a great mix of the funny and the hot and the schmoop. From the wedding planning to the wedding night, the boys are both snarky and romantic. All of which adds up to a whole lot of fun. “"It's for chicks," Jensen said. He waved a hand. "Pleasure of your company, blah blah, marriage of their daughter Jensen." With one hand, he reached down under the table, then reported with a grin. "Good news! Just checked. Still a man." He leaned forward and whispered, "I'm open to a second opinion."”
I Wanna See You Go Down (On One Knee) by
waterofthemoonJensen and Jared appear to have gotten married whilst drunk out their minds in this very funny story. “It began like any normal day. The alarm went off, Jensen woke up enough to fumble for the sleep button... and froze at the sight of the very masculine body in bed with him. The very familiar masculine body, who was currently asleep with one hand resting on Jensen's bare hip and the other curled in front of his own face.”

With This Ring by
babyofthegroup and
Wifey by
phaballaSo many adjectives could be used for these. Charming, dorky, funny, cute etc and all are true. The boys are wonderfully themselves, while the wedding fits around it all. “In some parallel universe, Jared is sure, this goes off without a hitch. In this one, he's sweating through two pair of socks and there are darkening circles spreading out from his armpits. He knocks on Jensen's apartment door by habit, even though they've been, for lack of a better term, dating for months now. It's part good boy manners, part fear of pranking; the inflatable dinosaur incident is not something he's going to forget soon, no matter how much he wants to.”
Witnesses Appear by
unamagaThis fills me with so much glee. It’s so incredibly comical and adorable and I love every perfect word of this story about the boys getting married. I only wish it was a billion times longer. “The date’s set for sometime in May, after the last episode of the season has aired. Jensen’s parents seem pretty resigned to having Jared as a son-in-law. Jared’s are just relieved Jensen doesn’t eat like an animal.”
