fic: J2 (RPF); to dream you wide awake (masterpost) (big bang 2011)
SPN/J2 Big Bang 2011
It wasn’t Jensen Ackles’ first time working with Jared Padalecki. Jensen’s reputation as extractor of ideas proceeded him, and Jared had worked up to being a sought-after point man in no time-but despite the dangers of dreamshare under sedation, neither of them expected the mark to turn on them, and neither expected to be dropped down into limbo, the blank shores of possibility.
Away from the judgments of the world, Jensen lets Jared in. With endless creation only a thought away, he took his chance to shape himself into the one person he was always too afraid to be: himself. Together, the two of them take a gamble, and they win. But Jensen’s secrets are too much for even himself to handle, and Jared finds himself alone in a world he can’t change, too afraid to dream. They have to find a way to be the people they once were, to remake reality, and do it on their own terms.
