Does anyone else shamelessly use their cat as a hot-water bottle when the weather is bad? Also, is it possible to get addicted to snagging yummy Jensen icons?
My brain is addled in my old age, as I have once again remembered fics that I had wanted to include in previous rec posts. Oops. That means it's time for another update and, yay, as I'm doing that I can add in a couple of new stories I really enjoyed and then put them all in the main posts.
AU
Confidence by
_doodle (ongoing)
Intriguing series where conman Jensen needs to get to Jared to get to Jared’s money.
Fair Exchange by
annie46 (ongoing)
This has only just started but it's looking to be an extremely enjoyable J2 version of wife swap.
Monogatari by
winterliveWritten for
spn_j2_bigbangEpic storytelling that you can spend hours getting lost in. Set in a universe where Japan has expanded to include America, samurai Jensen must take of the training of his new student Jared. “Today is a big day - Jensen has impressed the shogun (and, perhaps more importantly, General Mifune) enough to earn the right to choose a shudo student. It's a mark of much respect among the samurai, to be thought wise enough, skilled enough, to take a young samurai under one's wing and teach them what they must know to become great.”
Smile For the Camera by
nicb0723 (ongoing)
Two straight guys meet when they pose for soft-core photographs for a gay magazine.
The One Where Jensen Is Coerced and Jared Is A Porn King by
notthequiettypeHeeee. Jensen gets talked into starring in an ‘AssMobile’ porn movie and of course that’s how he meets Jared. So much fun.
Post SPN
A Cage To Catch Our Dreams by
notthequiettype A brilliantly hilarious story about Jensen’s mad beard growing skills. Featuring lines like “Jensen's beard is at its pinnacle of awesome, just long enough that he has to trim it a little at least once a week.” Actually it’s about so much more than that, but you just have to read it to see (if you already haven’t).
I Thought An Open Door Would Bring You In by
light_upSweet gentle fic showing the boys slowly moving towards each other.
Putting My Heart Back Together by
dare_to_dream06Slow dreamy story about why Jared broke up with Jensen. I really like the repetition that’s used throughout as a constant reminder of time passing.
Ten Years and
Two Lies by
jelloh0530Sad, but ultimately hopeful, story about the way life can split people apart.
The Inevitability Of Desire by
notthequiettype The slow process of falling in love J2 style. Wonderfully written.
Jensen/Chris
Truth and
Blues Will Be Blue by
aynslee Blues Will Be Blue written for
Sweet CharityAn AU where Chris and Jensen meet at university. It’s …something…at first site but Chris is cautious and Jensen naïve. This is great - the language, the plot, the characterisation all work so so well. And it’s such an enjoyable read on top of all that. “Fun isn’t the right word-Jensen jacked off thinking about the way Chris’s voice sounded, the way he looked while he sang, and he figures that’s a little more than just fun. But no, he is not going to let Chris know all that, isn’t going let him have the upper hand. What did his brother always tell him? Act casual, Jensen. Act like you’ve got shit under control. It had been aimed at dating girls, but he figures he can improvise. “It was alright.”.”
Jared/Chris
Here Now by
tempestquillSweet story where Jensen subtly match makes for Jared and Chris.
Thanks to
rockthelink for the rec.
