Fic: Pharmakon [Jared/Jensen; NC-17]
Title: Pharmakon
Author: cherie_morte
Characters/Pairings: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC-17 for explicit sexual content (including somnophilia) and mental illness (which is handled badly in the universe, but the story is aware of it and tries to be critical about it)
Word Count: 35,221
Summary: AU: Jared is a farm hand, the sole breadwinner of a poor and growing family. When his brother steals an herb from a witch to save his sick wife, she curses the entire family, turning them into swans.
Jared returns home to find his family missing. The witch makes a deal with him: if he can knit six shirts out of poisonous nettles in three years and put one on each of his cursed relatives, it will break the spell. But Jared must also promise not to speak…which seemed like a pretty easy thing to do, until a beautiful prince stumbles upon him and takes him in. Basically, a J2 retelling of The Six Swans fairytale.
