Summary:
Life is what happens while you're making other plans. They've got it all figured out. Their life, their house, their mortgage, 'til death do us part - until that's what actually happens. It's way too soon when Jeff dies and leaves Jensen and Jared to sort out what they are without him. And then there's that guy at the funeral home with the sympathetic blue eyes who's the first and only one to get what it means to lose someone in a polyamorous relationship. Over the following months, Misha worms his way into their lifes and leads them through the painful process of mourning, until it's clear that they function way better with him and fell for him hard.

Author's Notes:
So this one has been on my ongoing List of Plot Bunnies To Use for Bigbang Challenges since about two years ago. I'm very happy that I finally got to write it and I'm also pretty happy with how it turned out! Have fun reading it!
Special Thanks:
To my artist alexisjane, for capturing the mood and the message of the story perfectly with her art! The black and white theme really fits the melancholy theme of the story, the depression and grief, and yet, the colorful details represent how the characters slowly regain the will to live and learn how to enjoy life again. Thank you so much for all your hard work, I'm so happy that you chose my fic and made such wonderful art for it!
To my friend and beta blow_me_cas - Do I even need to say anything anymore? Except that I'm SO SO VERY MUCH looking forward to reading your fic for the DCBB? Also, thanks for beta'ing this one. As always, you did a stellar job! Thank you!
