Summary: Jared was a cop moving up in the department, happily married until a hostage situation went horribly wrong, and Jared had to deal with the tragic loss of his husband. Jared left the LAPD for a fresh start with the sheriff's department in small-town Middlebrook. Though still troubled by nightmares about the day his husband died, Jared's moving on, meeting new people. Jensen plays guitar and sings in a local band on weekends, and Jared really wants to get to know him better. But for all Jared's charm, Jensen just isn't interested in sex. As they get better acquainted, Jared realizes his path to happiness includes letting go of the past, and a different way of loving.

Artist's note: For this year's SPN/J2 Big Bang I had the pleasure of working with the fantastic fufaraw. Her story intrigued me from the beginning and it only got better and better as it progressed. It took me slightly too long to decide on which scenes to illustrate (there's just so much!) which means that I haven't been able to finish my illustration of Jared, but I'm hoping I'll be able to finish that one somewhere this week. It really didn't help that I felt like I needed to completely change the style five times... I had loads of fun doing these illustrations, though. fufaraw's enthusiasm kept me going and I can't thank her enough for being patient with me! So, without further ado, if you haven't already, go read the story!
Artist's note 2: I have now added the second character illustration!
