j2 fic make the world go around, the world go around...Fic recs
My internet cut out for a couple of hours this morning and I went into complete withdrawal panic mode. It was so sad.
But on the cheerful front, HAPPY BIRTHDAY
ulysses3_de. I hope you have a truly fantastic day hon.
And how good is
abouttwoboys? I thought I'd rec some new & old stories that I love before I literally ended up typing a list of everything that's on that comm. As per usual, you've probably read them all...but they're so good I can't help myself. I'll add them in to the main lists.
Jensen/Chris
Excessive Heat Warning by
sweptawaybayou
Written for
cracktrailer
Fantastic AU set in the vivid heat of a summer in the South. Chris and Dave give poor boy Jensen a ride. “Shit, Jensen had absolutely no problem with that at all. After these two had picked him up off a heat sticky asphalt and gravel road, given him a beer and some weed and a ride to a lake that shimmered like a mirage under this blazing sun … fuck. If getting down on his knees and blowing them both would make it even, Jensen was all for that scene.” Jensen/Chris/David Boreanaz.
Jensen/Chris Jensen/Jared
Motorcycle Drive-by by
thatotherperv
This is a beautifully written bittersweet story about how Chris watches Jensen grow though his time in Los Angeles and how their relationship responds to that.

Three Guys, One Afternoon by
jadedpen
Add in a video camera and some dirty talk and you’ve got…gah! Complete hotness. ““You like his mouth?” Jared asks off-screen, and Jeff grunts, flicks his eyes at the camera. He’s flushed hot already, chest sheened with sweat, and he shudders when Jared says, “He getting you nice and wet? You gonna come in his mouth?””
Hiatus & holiday
Bound To You (Where I Wanna Be) by
arabella_hope
Adorable ‘awwwww’ inducing fic. Jensen joins Jared for a family picnic where he meets the family and tries to beat a small child in a three-legged race.
Come Visit by
ethrosdemon
Jensen really gets to know his TV brother when they stay at Jared’s grandparents farm. “Jensen doesn't really get to know Jared until they spend some time together during the first hiatus. Sure they spend every freakin' waking hour with each other, getting into the sort of codependent situation that men only admit to in regards to their mamas, but Jensen only knows away Jared. He knows grown up, on his own, presenting himself as he chooses to Jared.”
Illness and injury
In A Mirror Distorted & Indistinct by
felisblanco (bulimia)
This emotionally gripping story about a scarred and hurt Jensen is candid and heartbreaking. But thankfully there’s some light at the end of the tunnel in the shape of Jared Padalecki, who forces him to get some help.
Getting together
Carbon by
setissma
Jensen kisses Jared and things happen from there. This is soft and slow and you can really feel the friendship between the two boys even before they get closer, all thanks to the detail of Jared’s inner monologue. “It's not bad, but it's not a first kiss, not a kiss that changes anything - it falls somewhere between welcome-home kisses at the airport and Christmas morning kisses, delicate and not quite awake. Jared knows the familiar curve of Jensen's mouth, the taste of his chapstick, the kind Jensen's been using and Jared's been borrowing for years. He knows the way Jensen exhales against his cheek from sleeping in the Impala between takes, knows the way he looks down, then up a little too fast - Dean's tell when he's unsure”.
Don’t Cha by
jeyhawk
Very funny, almost crackfic, that still manages to be sweet and hot. The boys get together to the sound of the Pussycat Dolls.
Make This House A Home by
oddegg
Written for
fluffandfold
The boys become roommates and then something more. This is really cute and full of great one-liners such as: “Then he bounced off to his bedroom like some freak genetic experiment that had crossed a yeti with Tigger, leaving Jensen blinking in the doorway”.
Ocala Nights by
not_refined
This is wonderfully written, full of easily pictured imagery and the exactly right emotional combination of sweetness and angst. Jensen finds a perfect home. During the first holiday, Jared and Sandy come to stay. By the next vacation, only Jared comes.
One Tequila, Two Tequila, Three Tequila…Oh Damn by
fricky_fiction
Jared gets drunk and horny and expects Jensen to help a guy out.
One Through Five by
affectingly
Chad sows the seeds of the idea in Jared’s head, and now he can’t stop thinking about how he doesn’t want Jensen. Really. He doesn’t. The story is structured around the ‘Five Stages of Grief’ and it works so well. “And okay, so maybe, if he ever got really, really wasted, he might think getting it on with Jensen was a good plan, but that’s only because at a certain point, his brain shuts down while his dick keeps working. After all, an ass is an ass is an ass, right? Right. So, that’s just natural. But Jensen, he’s too god damn pretty for Jared’s tastes anyway. If he’s in the mood for pretty, that’s when he fucks women. Men aren’t supposed to be that unnaturally gorgeous. They’re just not.”
Texas State Of Mind by
brynwulf
The boys are drunk and homesick in this hot and desperate first time story.
The End Of Fear Is Where We Begin by
technosage
Jensen has rules about dealing with co-stars, but Jared is making it hard for him to stick to them in this tender story.
Twenty Minutes To Jaded by
guard_the_cards
Sad but hopeful story about the history Jensen has with people objectifying his lips…Until Jared comes along and changes that. ““Freckles” and Jared says it like he’s discovered a new country, and he breaks into a smile, that nearly splits his face in half. “Dude, you’ve totally got freckles.””
Waking Jared by
jboogey78
Cute fic where Jared finds out about Jensen’s big gay love for him by passing around a ‘do you like me?’ note.
What Jared Wants by
ashley
A playful and sexy story, where tequila eases the way for Jared and Jensen to get together for some loving.
Toppy Jared
Take My Time, Make You Mine by
siubhlach
Jared gets all possessive and dominant after watching Jensen at a network party in this hotass story. ““Payback, pretty boy. Revenge for tonight. For every time you wriggled that fine damn ass in my direction. For every blonde tartlet you flirted with, in the full and frank knowledge that I was watching. For every come hither look and smirk you gave out tonight, not just to me but to every damn person in that room.” Jared’s hand shifts and then he’s popping the button fly of Jensen’s jeans; his hand slipping inside to continue that too-light massage through Jensen’s boxers”.
Waiting So Long by
unperfectwolf
In this fic, Jared leaves Jensen in a cock ring all day and he’s frustrated.

Epic retelling of ‘Coyote ugly’, J2 style. Way better than the film.
Days In Our Lives: A Very Porny Checkup, Outdoor Sports and Rockin’ On by
titheniel and
splashpink
Jared and Jensen star in very hot, very dirty and very kinky porn movies. Featuring toppy!Jared and bottom!Jensen. Yippee. “Jared chuckled against his ear, rubbing his knee tantalizingly over Jensen's ass. "See, the way I see it, you like it this way," He bit into Jensen's neck, pressing him tighter into the wall. "You like to play it tough, getting it as rough as possible, but you're still a slut who would spread his legs anytime if it meant you'd get a hard dick up your ass." Jensen's cheeks flamed up with anger and shame, and he tried to slide out of Jared's grasp, even if he knew it was pointless to struggle.”

This Fragile Heart by

Written for
abouttwoboys
Jensen finds love again after his boyfriend is killed. Except new man Jared is keeping a secret that might just tear them apart. This remake of ‘Return To Me’ made me all weepy with its poignancy and heartbreak. “Jensen swallowed hard as his emotions at the memory rose up inside him. “I miss you,” he whispered into the night. “But I don’t think you’d want me living the way I’ve been. I know if things were reversed I wouldn’t want you to be unhappy, lonely.” He paused and smiled slightly. “I met someone tonight. I haven’t felt this way around someone since I met you. Maybe that’s a sign, huh? That it’s time?””.
