Don’t Let Me Hear You Say Life’s Taking You Nowhere (J2)
Title: Don’t Let Me Hear You Say Life’s Taking You Nowhere
Author: Livingthepielife
Movie Prompt: A Knight’s Tale
Pairing: Jared Padalecki/Jensen Ackles
Rating: Mature
Word Count: 33,375
Summary: The thud of horses’ hooves. The crash of lances shattering on armor. The crowd roaring. Jousting had been a part of Jared’s life for over a decade, more than half of his life, but never the way he wanted. He dreamed of being a knight, but his low birth meant he could never be more than a squire. Until an opportunity presented itself and he took a risk, that is, but with the threat of discovery at every turn, how long could it last?

Notes: A Knight’s Tale has been one of my favorite movies for a long time and I’ve been thinking of doing an AU of it for just about as long as I’ve been in the SPN fandom. So when sign-ups for SPN Cinema crossed my timeline this year, I decided I was going to do it. Then decided not. Then talked to a friend who told me I should, and here we are.
Thank you to the SPN_Cinema mods, who are not only running a delightful challenge, but are super nice and helpful to clueless newbies as well.
Thank you so, so, SO much to NaughtyPastryChef for the super last minute beta and letting me scream at her since sign-ups about this and not killing me (even though you encouraged me to do it).
Any mistakes are my own.
This is in no way historically accurate. The movie it is based on took liberties with history and I took liberties with those liberties. For example: in this world no one cares who you love, there is no homophobia.
The title comes from from Golden Years by David Bowie (my favorite song, and scene, from the movie)
