Title: Tell the Ones That Need to Know
Words: 18,500
Rating/Warnings:: R, language, angst
Summary: It's been five years since Supernatural, since Jared had a steady job and really felt like himself. When he decides to spend the holidays back in Texas, he's ready for the guilt trips, the tension, and feeling vaguely unwelcome. But he's not prepared for the men who show him what life used to be like, what it really is, and how it could be.
Notes: A J2 retelling of A Christmas Carol. Title and section titles are from The Avett Brothers' "I and Love and You."
Betas: Huge thanks to both timehasa_way and neros_violin for handholding, cheerleading, and overall beta and grammar checks. This gave me a headache on a semi-daily basis because it was always hanging around, since I started it way before 12 Days of a J2 Christmas, and then all that holiday-good-timey-schmoop totally ruined the tone of this story. I finally got through it, and have to give huge hugs to the girls for helping, and especially timehasa_way for running a final beta within 12 hours &hearts
