j2 fic make the world go around, the world go around...Fic recs

[lexzilla]

My internet cut out for a couple of hours this morning and I went into complete withdrawal panic mode. It was so sad.

But on the cheerful front, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ulysses3_de. I hope you have a truly fantastic day hon.

And how good is abouttwoboys? I thought I'd rec some new & old stories that I love before I literally ended up typing a list of everything that's on that comm. As per usual, you've probably read them all...but they're so good I can't help myself. I'll add them in to the main lists.

Jensen/Chris

Excessive Heat Warning by sweptawaybayou
Written for cracktrailer
Fantastic AU set in the vivid heat of a summer in the South. Chris and Dave give poor boy Jensen a ride. “Shit, Jensen had absolutely no problem with that at all. After these two had picked him up off a heat sticky asphalt and gravel road, given him a beer and some weed and a ride to a lake that shimmered like a mirage under this blazing sun … fuck. If getting down on his knees and blowing them both would make it even, Jensen was all for that scene.” Jensen/Chris/David Boreanaz.


Jensen/Chris Jensen/Jared

Motorcycle Drive-by by thatotherperv
This is a beautifully written bittersweet story about how Chris watches Jensen grow though his time in Los Angeles and how their relationship responds to that.


J3

Three Guys, One Afternoon by jadedpen
Add in a video camera and some dirty talk and you’ve got…gah! Complete hotness. ““You like his mouth?” Jared asks off-screen, and Jeff grunts, flicks his eyes at the camera. He’s flushed hot already, chest sheened with sweat, and he shudders when Jared says, “He getting you nice and wet? You gonna come in his mouth?””


Hiatus & holiday

Bound To You (Where I Wanna Be) by arabella_hope
Adorable ‘awwwww’ inducing fic. Jensen joins Jared for a family picnic where he meets the family and tries to beat a small child in a three-legged race.

Come Visit by ethrosdemon
Jensen really gets to know his TV brother when they stay at Jared’s grandparents farm. “Jensen doesn't really get to know Jared until they spend some time together during the first hiatus. Sure they spend every freakin' waking hour with each other, getting into the sort of codependent situation that men only admit to in regards to their mamas, but Jensen only knows away Jared. He knows grown up, on his own, presenting himself as he chooses to Jared.”


Illness and injury

In A Mirror Distorted & Indistinct by felisblanco (bulimia)
This emotionally gripping story about a scarred and hurt Jensen is candid and heartbreaking. But thankfully there’s some light at the end of the tunnel in the shape of Jared Padalecki, who forces him to get some help.


Getting together

Carbon by setissma
Jensen kisses Jared and things happen from there. This is soft and slow and you can really feel the friendship between the two boys even before they get closer, all thanks to the detail of Jared’s inner monologue. “It's not bad, but it's not a first kiss, not a kiss that changes anything – it falls somewhere between welcome-home kisses at the airport and Christmas morning kisses, delicate and not quite awake. Jared knows the familiar curve of Jensen's mouth, the taste of his chapstick, the kind Jensen's been using and Jared's been borrowing for years. He knows the way Jensen exhales against his cheek from sleeping in the Impala between takes, knows the way he looks down, then up a little too fast – Dean's tell when he's unsure”.

Don’t Cha by jeyhawk
Very funny, almost crackfic, that still manages to be sweet and hot. The boys get together to the sound of the Pussycat Dolls.

Make This House A Home by oddegg
Written for fluffandfold
The boys become roommates and then something more. This is really cute and full of great one-liners such as: “Then he bounced off to his bedroom like some freak genetic experiment that had crossed a yeti with Tigger, leaving Jensen blinking in the doorway”.

Ocala Nights by not_refined
This is wonderfully written, full of easily pictured imagery and the exactly right emotional combination of sweetness and angst. Jensen finds a perfect home. During the first holiday, Jared and Sandy come to stay. By the next vacation, only Jared comes.

One Tequila, Two Tequila, Three Tequila…Oh Damn by fricky_fiction
Jared gets drunk and horny and expects Jensen to help a guy out.

One Through Five by affectingly
Chad sows the seeds of the idea in Jared’s head, and now he can’t stop thinking about how he doesn’t want Jensen. Really. He doesn’t. The story is structured around the ‘Five Stages of Grief’ and it works so well. “And okay, so maybe, if he ever got really, really wasted, he might think getting it on with Jensen was a good plan, but that’s only because at a certain point, his brain shuts down while his dick keeps working. After all, an ass is an ass is an ass, right? Right. So, that’s just natural. But Jensen, he’s too god damn pretty for Jared’s tastes anyway. If he’s in the mood for pretty, that’s when he fucks women. Men aren’t supposed to be that unnaturally gorgeous. They’re just not.”

Texas State Of Mind by brynwulf
The boys are drunk and homesick in this hot and desperate first time story.

The End Of Fear Is Where We Begin by technosage
Jensen has rules about dealing with co-stars, but Jared is making it hard for him to stick to them in this tender story.

Twenty Minutes To Jaded by guard_the_cards
Sad but hopeful story about the history Jensen has with people objectifying his lips…Until Jared comes along and changes that. ““Freckles” and Jared says it like he’s discovered a new country, and he breaks into a smile, that nearly splits his face in half. “Dude, you’ve totally got freckles.””

Waking Jared by jboogey78
Cute fic where Jared finds out about Jensen’s big gay love for him by passing around a ‘do you like me?’ note.

What Jared Wants by ashley
A playful and sexy story, where tequila eases the way for Jared and Jensen to get together for some loving.


Toppy Jared

Take My Time, Make You Mine by siubhlach
Jared gets all possessive and dominant after watching Jensen at a network party in this hotass story. ““Payback, pretty boy. Revenge for tonight. For every time you wriggled that fine damn ass in my direction. For every blonde tartlet you flirted with, in the full and frank knowledge that I was watching. For every come hither look and smirk you gave out tonight, not just to me but to every damn person in that room.” Jared’s hand shifts and then he’s popping the button fly of Jensen’s jeans; his hand slipping inside to continue that too-light massage through Jensen’s boxers”.

Waiting So Long by unperfectwolf
In this fic, Jared leaves Jensen in a cock ring all day and he’s frustrated.


AU

Can’t Fight This Feeling by jeyhawk
Written for abouttwoboys
Epic retelling of ‘Coyote ugly’, J2 style. Way better than the film.

Days In Our Lives: A Very Porny Checkup, Outdoor Sports and Rockin’ On by titheniel and splashpink
Jared and Jensen star in very hot, very dirty and very kinky porn movies. Featuring toppy!Jared and bottom!Jensen. Yippee. “Jared chuckled against his ear, rubbing his knee tantalizingly over Jensen's ass. "See, the way I see it, you like it this way," He bit into Jensen's neck, pressing him tighter into the wall. "You like to play it tough, getting it as rough as possible, but you're still a slut who would spread his legs anytime if it meant you'd get a hard dick up your ass." Jensen's cheeks flamed up with anger and shame, and he tried to slide out of Jared's grasp, even if he knew it was pointless to struggle.”

Feels Like Flying by micawbish
This story manages to have a great mix of the sweet and the funny. The boys are in a band with some of the other CW actors.

Hollow Years by jeyhawk
Incredibly long AU crossover with Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Jensen and Jared are in love, but fate conspires to force them apart. Featuring angst, adventure, monsters, hell dimensions and prophecies, this will keep you entertained for hours.

Love and Fishing by sasskitten (ongoing)
Jared wants true love forever with Jensen. Jensen keeps panicking and breaking up with him. This is adorable.

So Close To My Heart by audrarose
Written for fluffandfold
Dr. Jared is in love with single father Jensen in this sweet and romantic story. The world created is nicely rounded out with all the usual CW crew but Jeff’s eyebrow may steal all the limelight.

This Fragile Heart by agt_spooky
Written for abouttwoboys
Jensen finds love again after his boyfriend is killed. Except new man Jared is keeping a secret that might just tear them apart. This remake of ‘Return To Me’ made me all weepy with its poignancy and heartbreak. “Jensen swallowed hard as his emotions at the memory rose up inside him. “I miss you,” he whispered into the night. “But I don’t think you’d want me living the way I’ve been. I know if things were reversed I wouldn’t want you to be unhappy, lonely.” He paused and smiled slightly. “I met someone tonight. I haven’t felt this way around someone since I met you. Maybe that’s a sign, huh? That it’s time?””.

Three Eastwards From Helena by apostrophee
Yay. Zombies. Jared & Jensen reunite under dire circumstances in this evocative, creepy and atmospheric tale.

Underneath This Texas Sky by lostt1
Written for abouttwoboys
Jensen sees a way to buy his ticket to popularity in this cute J2 version of ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’.

You’re My Heaven by ysbail
Written for abouttwoboys
After Jensen leaves a mean and possessive Jeff, he rents a flat that may have another inhabitant. A J2 remake of ‘Just Like Heaven’, this is schmoopy and adorable with just a smidge of angst so it doesn’t become too saccharine.


Sequels

Titled: Aslant by thehighwaywoman
More back-story is revealed in the third part of this fantastic saga.

So how are you all doing on this fine Sunday? Any news? Gossip? Random rants?

*hugs*

Comments

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Aww, many thanks again for the rec! And wow, you quoted my favorite part of the story, too! :-)

[lexzilla.livejournal.com]

Hee. I really loved that line too. *cuddles Jensen*

[ulysses3-de.livejournal.com]

Hey you, thanks so much for the birthday wishes. I had a fantastic weekend. My boyfriend got me a wellness weekend with candelight dinner and all. Still on cloud nine *g*

Oh and I'm going to work myself through this loooong list of recs of yours. Wow.

[lexzilla.livejournal.com]

Yay. I'm so glad you had a good time. That present sounds lovely and relaxing...mmmmmm. Me want too!

[siubhlach.livejournal.com]

Muchas Gracias, senorita!

(but it's actually called 'Take my time, make you mine' - I am one of those wicked bad people who doesn't put my fic title in the subject line...:D)

You want random rants? I have one. Driving instructer - cushiest job ever! Because, as far as I can work out, they don't actually teach anybody to drive! What the hell do they do in that hour? I don't remember cutting up, tailgating or driving without paying any attention to anybody else on the road being on my driving test! Grrrrr *is cross*

[lexzilla.livejournal.com]

You're welcome :-)

(Doh! I is special. It's totally fixed btw)

LOL. All I remember from my lessons is having to make really uncomfortable small talk in between him shouting at me not to grind gears or use clutch control. Painful. You rant as much as you want hon.

[siubhlach.livejournal.com]

You is very special. That's why we like you :)

*laughs* My overriding memories of my driving lessons is actually of my instructor sitting with one eye closed, trying to work out what monocular vision felt like *eyeroll*

[lexzilla.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwww.

Hee. Mine told me not to trust drivers in hats! Apparently they're always bad!?!

I'm grumpy because my interweb cut out again. Booooooooooooo. I think my wireless thingmajig (yes that is the correct term) has ben killed by air. Damn it.

On the other hand - I'm in love with my new icon. Mrrrow.

[siubhlach.livejournal.com]

Eep! Flat cap drivers! Run away, as fast as possible, in the opposite direction. Those guys are terrifying!

And you need new interweb!

But the icon is of the pretty (recieving a blowjob face, methinks :D). I approve :) (I'm quite fond of this one though...)

I need to go find a Wentworth icon I think, to go with the Wensen. Which is finished! Unbeta'd as yet, but finally finished. Go, me!

*goes icon hunting*

[lexzilla.livejournal.com]

It's so grrrrrrr inducing. I've only had this since October. *hurrumph*

Yup. That's totally where my brain went too ;-)
We're twins! And yes your icon is cool & of course true...

ITS FINISHED...YAY YAY YAY Indeed go you. *makes grabby hands*

Oooh if you find an icon of the two of them having teh sex I will be totally jealous.

[siubhlach.livejournal.com]

Meh, technology. T'is evil. We all know this.

Christ, two of me, that's a terrifying thought. Not sure how the world is going to cope with that one...

Patience, young padawan. Good things come to(s)he who waits. And because I'm a tease, I'm going to make you wait :D

I am completely failing on the iconage. I am even struggling to find a Wentworth one I like. I might have to default to this one.

[lexzilla.livejournal.com]

Two would be cool...Think of all the porn. Plus double the sleeping hours!

*whines* But I want it now.

You might have already been, but I found a couple I liked here: http://community.livejournal.com/wmiller_gossip/?skip=5

[siubhlach.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm, well, when you put it that way...I'm all in favour!

God, you really, really don't. I need to beat it with sticks and remove the crap bits first!

But you are made of awesome. Look at the pretty icon! Although now I'm all out of icon space. Argh!

[lexzilla.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'll be patient. Just about. Maybe.

Oooooh. Icon very pretty. I keep changing my icons because there are always so many shiny Jensen ones. How does a girl chose. Hee. So I'm ignoring them & using my sg1 boy kissing one. You know you love it *secretly*

[siubhlach.livejournal.com]

Good call. As an example of the broken pron-fu that is afflicting that fic at the moment, I just realised Wentworth never actually takes his clothes off...*facepalm*

By making variety the spice of life. And look what (Dean and) I think of your smoochy stargaters...

:D

[lexzilla.livejournal.com]

...but a fully clothed Wentworth and a naked Jensen is HOT! Is Jensen blushing? Is Wentworth (politely & sophisticatedly) leering?

Kitty says mrow!

[siubhlach.livejournal.com]

Oh, don't get me wrong, I lurve the clothed/naked dynamic. Mmmmmmm. But Went really does need to at least unzip...unless he has gay superpowers.

I got distracted by naked Jensen. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it (apparently so did Wentworth, hence why he's still dressed)!

[apostrophee.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks for the rec darling!

xoxox
Maddy

[lexzilla.livejournal.com]

Welcome. Zombies + J2 = totally irresistible :-)

ps I love your icon. Tura Satana is awesome.

[moorspede.livejournal.com]

Yay! You always post as I'm finishing the last lot.

Your internets disappeared for awhile? Putting some civit shit coffee in the post for you to calm your nerves :o)

[lexzilla.livejournal.com]

And it went again for a little while tonight. Bah & humbug. My interweb sucks!

But sweet sweet coffee totally eases the pain. Thank you :-)
(I'm still ignoring the whole poo thing)

[athynto.livejournal.com]

I had a long long working day today. And now I can chill out with all your nice recs. Thank you very much. This is awesome.

[lexzilla.livejournal.com]
