Title Beyond the Spotlight
Author Brutti ma buoni
Movie Prompt: Bridesmaids
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Rating R
Word count 7000
Summary Jensen never thought that much about weddings till his best friend got embroiled in the wedding of the year, at the same time that Jensen's life got flushed down the toilet. Tom's happy, and that's great, but he's moving further away from Jensen, the contrast of their lives pointed up in every damn wedding exchange, which Jensen messes up with depressing regularity. Meeting Jared is the only part of the wedding bullshit that's good news, but is Jensen spiralling so far down that he can't see the possibilities?
Notes/Warnings If you haven't seen the film, it is the one in which Kirstin Wiig is funny and tragic as a woman whose life is collapsing at the same time as her best friend is getting married with maximum hoopla. She has a bad, bad relationship with [Jon Hamm] and a possibly happier one with [Chris O'Dowd]. This story genderswaps and J2s it up, but it’s a fairly straight retelling. Jared's character merges two from the film, which will only bother you if you know the original. Jensen's messed up. He's sleeping with another man, debatably cheating on either him or Jared, depending on how you look at it, at one point. So, Jensen/Other and infidelity warnings. Though he doesn't enjoy it at all. *nods*
