Howdy! Or if you prefer, hey hey! WHAT’S UP?

So, here’s my case. I've never successfully managed to post a comment to this community, maybe because I've always been too busy to take the time to read the instructions of how to post and do it correctly, but I've just had a go at that today seeing as I’m on vacation and now I'm hoping that I'll ( Read more... )

My two absolute favourite non-AU J2 fics are:

The Courtship of Jensen's Co-Star - by qblackheart
Summary: Somewhere in the time between a handshake and a hug, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki went from being reel-life brothers to real-life best friends, and complete strangers to cosmic soul mates, no rhyme or reason to it that either of them could ever see. Jared was everything Jensen was not: friendly, funny, and full of life; one in six-point-whatever billion the Earth’s population currently stood at. Life was awesome. Work was amazing. Everything was fine until Jared kissed Jensen. Everything was peachy until Jensen fell in love. With desperate times unexpectedly calling for desperate measures, Jensen called Chad Michael Murray for relationship advice - because being in love led to temporary insanity obviously - so it really didn't surprise him that he couldn’t seem to win when it came to wooing Jared. Still, Pisces must’ve been in a really good place in the night sky or something because suddenly, right smack dab in the middle of the ( ... )

Bless you!

Thank you so much! I'm definitely going to have to read these fics. I can see why they'd be some of your favorite non-AU J2 fics of all time! Overall, they appear to be extremely well written and have amazing plotlines. That's super important to me.

I'm thrilled, they are both fandom classics, and I was worried you would have already read them.
You won't be disappointed hun, it took me a week to read each one, and each time I was left broken in the best ways and at the same time wanting more more more! :D

Just One Breath http://kee.livejournal.com/13376.html
Summary: Following a horrific event on set, Jensen's life hangs in the balance and Jared figures out what's really important. Alternate Summary: Jensen sacrifices like Dean. Jared angsts like Sam.

I'm not sure if this one is Non-AU enough for you but I added it just in case.

Imprint http://mass-hipgnosis.livejournal.com/47599.html
Summary: In a world where love at first sight is a documented scientific phenomenon, and potentially lethal, Jared and Jensen still meet for the first time when they've both been chosen for Supernatural; things just go a little differently after that.

Thank you muchly! :D

These look fantastic, although I must admit that the second fic appears to be an J² AU story (i.e. fantasy, fable, tale, etc.). To this, I'll add that although I love science and technology, I've never been much of a 'science fiction' follower, albeit the fact that I like Harry Potter because it reminds of my childhood.

I'll give it a go though! ❥

Who knows? Maybe I'll like it! P.S.- Thanks again for taking the time!

Seconded! :D
Both these are FANTASTIC fics!♥ I too wondered about whether Just One Breath was non-AU enough, but regardless it's a must read.

Oooh! And I adore Imprint too! Excellent recs :D

Here's one of my favorites. Love is a Funny thing by dugindeep

Summary: Everyone knows the story of how Jared and Jensen met and filled Sam and Dean’s shoes. They met in the waiting room and became instant brothers on-screen and best friends behind it. There were bar fights and red carpet fondling, Ritchie Valens and Thomas Kinkade, Christmases together and vacations apart, conventions, the writer’s strike, a broken engagement, a new co-star to love, living together, and then not. But what no one knows is what happened in the space in-between, and how Jared and Jensen had to find themselves, and each other, over six seasons of failed relationships, random hook-ups, and a coat closet confessional.

Just a few that haven't already been rec'd ....

When Things Come Crashing Down
The guys are back off Christmas hiatus and on their way to a location shoot when things go horribly wrong.

The Radio Wedding Verse
The Mystery Bride Jensen's family attempt to find him a mystery bride as part of a radio contest. When Jared is the one that meets him at the altar, the two embark on a marriage that neither of them expected.

No Codename
Jared's got a brand new show, tons of things to keep him busy, and pretty much the most awesome costar he's ever met. Okay, so maybe he has some less than entirely pure thoughts about said costar sometimes, but he's, like, eighty-three percent sure Jensen thinks impure thoughts about him, too. Sometimes. Possibly. Now he just has to stop being so chicken-shit and actually make a move.

Neon ShowmanThe love story of Jared and Jensen as observed by one Chad Michael Murray. While Jared experiences a journey of self-discovery in which he realizes he's gay, lands a role on Supernatural and falls for his new co- ( ... )

Sweet! ❥

Firstly, I love When Things Comes Crashing Down by angels3. I read most of this author's fics, and she's just a sweetheart. I'm happy to see that she's being recommended!

No Codername looks fantastic. I forgot to mention this, but no sex is alright (PG-13). I'm doing it for the romance/burning love, not for the sex.

Thanks chellexxx! ♕
