SPN J2 AU: Inclusions (Masterpost)
Title: Inclusions
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Rating: R
Length: ~30,000 words
Summary: Earth is sending out her first planetary colonization mission, and only mods need apply.
Mods (legally known as Genetically Modified Persons) underwent a controversial prenatal procedure: injection of a patented DNA modification protocol that rewrote their own genome, streamlining it, removing both major genetic defects and minor imperfections. They’re optimized physically, mentally, immunologically, psychologically, every way imaginable. They are the best of humanity, and the obvious choice to brave the challenges of a new world.
Jared has a pretty decent genome, and an occupation that the colony needs, but he isn’t a mod. He’s desperate to go into space, so he hatches a plan that involves stealing his co-worker (and crush) Jensen’s DNA. He manages to beat the genomic screening tests, and gets accepted as one of the hundred colonists - as does Jensen. During the voyage, he and Jensen hook up, and by the time they land on their new planet, Jared couldn’t be happier. Things quickly start to deteriorate, though, as he discovers Jensen’s seriously prejudiced views against ‘natural’ humans, and as the colonists start being affected by a mysterious and disabling condition - to which Jared appears immune.

Author's Notes: Written for the 2012 round of spn_j2_bigbang. Art by ladytiferet, who picked me out of the anonymous line-up for the second year in a row! I love the mood she's evoked. <3 Thanks to laisserais for listening to me thrash out plot details and asking the right questions, and to deirdre_c for cheerleading. And finally, many thanks to wendy and thehighwaywoman for all their work in coordinating this wild ride.
