Tech support!
You know how when your computer starts acting up a little (AKA: the moment you have that realization that the end is coming!), it just seems to throw you behind on everything in life? That's kind of where I am at the moment...and why this post took so long to make. (SORRY.) SO. I initially was going to focus on my computer troubles with fic that involved beautiful tech support fantasies, but that was a pretty narrow (Smith and Wesson, mainly) field. Instead, please take this compilation of J2 recs that involve computers/games (and their many uses in our lives) a little more broadly. From tech geniuses to video games to reading fanfic, these fics cover a wide spectrum! All of them help me feel a little better about the mortality of my computer. ;)
A Job Well Done by Fiercelynormal (NC-17, Jensen/Jared)
Computer tech Jared Padalecki gets called to CFO Jensen Ackles' office to fix his laptop.
I'll decrypt you wide awake by SanAnn (R, Jensen/Jared)
a J2 AU story in which Jared is a computer genius and Jensen is his unsolved mystery, the Voynich manuscript.
My Zombie and Me by tebtosca (NC-17, Jensen/Jared)
IT tech Jared finds The Walking Dead fanfic on his work crush's computer and decides to do something about it.
Your Princess Is in Another Castle by cleflink (PG-13, Jensen/Jared)
It's not easy being a video game Bad Guy. Luckily, Jared is awesome and everyone likes him anyway. Now all he has to do is convince the attractive, antisocial Good Guy from the arcade's newest First Person Shooter that being a Bad Guy isn't a bad thing. And that they should totally date.
You're in my head (but not in my hands) by hugemind (PG-13, Jensen/Jared)
They say that AI code has the soul of its coder, but Jensen's code has the soul of his soulmate.
