RPF Fic: Safari

[triquetralmoon]

Done for a prompt over at the J2 meme at spn_hurtcomfort
First time doing real J2 and anything remotely slashy (and it probably shows), only second time trying out RPF (and my first attempts suuuucked).

Unbeta'd.

Prompt: J2 (though gen's okay). Jared's used to getting over colds really quickly, so it's no big deal to him when he gets sick--until

Eee, this is awesome! I love how Jared was constantly sure that the next day everything was going to be okay, right up until he keeled over.

[triquetralmoon]

:) Yay! I'm really happy you like it! Thank you!

I never read sick!Jared stories. Ever. But I made an exception because it's from the h/c meme, and I am so glad I did! I love, love, LOVE this. It fits the prompt perfectly and it's just the right balance of reality and schmoop. This is awesome, thank you! :D

[triquetralmoon]

That is a huge compliment - wow. ::really huge dorky smile::

I'm not generally one for sick!Jared or much for sick!Sam - either. In fact, I think the only reason I got interested in RPF at all was from reading your stuff! (Whether present reality or completely AU stuff)

I'm psyched you think it hit a good balance of reality and schmoop. I'm never sure where I am on that scale.

You're the third or fourth person who's told me that. I do kind of like the idea of my writing being a gateway drug. ;)

I'm never sure where I am on that scale.

I'm well aware that I write the RPS equivalent of Hallmark Hall of Fame movies. I like them and my readers like them, so I'm okay with that. :)

I liked this fic because I could see that really happening, and because you tempered the really unpleasant stuff with comfort and sweetness.

Do you *know* how utterly squeeful you have made me? I am SO freaking happy right now, I can't put it into words! X3 ♥! This is utterly *PERFECT*. It's exactly, exactly what I was hoping for. Heck, it way exceeds what I was hoping for! ^______^ I'm so thrilled someone filled my prompt, but with something so long, and doing so so very well! :D :D :D You hit everything that makes me happy in a good h/c fic, and everything I've been craving for with a sick!Jared type story

[triquetralmoon]

Awww! I made someone squeeful?! I think you just made my week. Yay!

I am absolutely ecstatic that it is what you were looking for!

This is so great. I love h/c fics and you've written an awesome story, certainly upped my squee factor.

Seriously hope you stick around and write more J2.

[triquetralmoon]

Aw! Thank you! So happy you liked it.

(Is that...is that icon Jared picking his nose? Hahahah)

[blueeyedliz]

LOL I can see why you would think that. Nah, it's from the Season 2 gagreel - when Jared (as Sam) is trying to unlatch a window from the outside, using a knife, and failing badly. :D

[triquetralmoon]

Hah! Now I see it! I loved that part of the gag reel. "I'm gonna kick your little 5'4" ass!"

[ariadnes_string]

This is wonderful! I loved the slow build (or I guess I should say slow decline ;))--and unobtrusively awesome!Jensen--thank you!

[triquetralmoon]

Thank you! So glad you read it and liked it! Glad you appreciated Jensen doing all those little things that add up to a whole lot.
