Warnings: recreational drug use

Comments: So originally, I was writing this for spn_j2_bigbang. But then I lost my inspiration and, well, I couldn't write the story I was planning to write. More on that later. For now I need to thank wendy, babyofthegroup, and madame_d for their kind words, attempts to help, and helping me see that I don't owe anyone a love song story. Also thanks to llamabitchyo and kira_j for their input and for telling me this totally makes sense, even if it doesn't.

( Jensen's only been in love twice before, and only the once that he'll actually admit to anyone but himself, but he knows what this feeling is. He smiles to himself and thinks, third time's the charm. )

Southland Tales (The More Things Change)

Fandom: CW RPS
Pairing: Jensen/Jared
Rating: Adultish
Warning: Extreme schmoopiness ahead!

Comments: A sort of sequel/epilogue to Chicagoland, which I wrote for spn_j2_bigbang about ten million years ago. As requested by madame_d for her birthday: Jared and Jensen decide to have another baby. Four sort of-connected vignettes from the future. Happy birthday, madame_d! I hope this is what you wanted :)

( So Jensen never planned to have more kids because it just never seemed like the right time and he was pretty happy with the ones they had already, it just never even really came up. Which is why he's pretty surprised when Jared says, 'I wanna have a baby.' Also because Jared's dick is in his ass at the time, and it's really not the appropriate venue for this discussion. )

Because I am a complete and utter shmoop, I made a fanmix for the Chicagoland prologues. Yeah, ANOTHER fanmix. I can't help it. Their love is so... pie-filled! Also, I stole this fanmix layout format from dontyouwaitup because it is awesome and makes WAY more sense than mine.

The Worst De-Virginizing Ever

Fandom: CW RPS
Pairing: Jensen/Jared
Rating: Adult
Comments: Written for madame_d, who requested a Chicagoland timestamp: Jared's first time on the bottom. I think this mostly stands alone, so you don't have to go back and read Chicagoland itself. Almost a year after Easy As Pie.

( Jensen had it all planned out, how things would be for Jared's first time. )

My first timestamp fic!

SoLa Land

Fandom: CW RPS
Pairing: Jensen/Jared
Comments: A ficlet that takes place 6 months after Chicagoland. The boys move to LA.

( It's not quite white picket fences, but it's pretty damn close. )

As a side note, writing this really makes me realize how much I love writing these particular incarnations of Jensen and Jared and how complete they feel to me. I think I have issues writing J2 in other ways, now, because these characters are so ingrained and I just like them so much. I even struggle writing them in Mannequin Fic because my head resists writing them as anything other that my Chicagoland boys. SIGH.

Last Stop: Chicagoland
by phaballa, art by affectingly

Before Anne was actually and officially pregnant, before the whole test tube mixing, baby-making science experiment thing happened and they were just talking about it, just looking through egg donor catalogues and joking about whether the chick sounded like she had big tits or not, before Jensen had to endure way too many digs about Jessica Alba and having part-animal bits—before all that, Jensen didn't really think too much about what it meant to have kids. He never really thought he would because, hello, gay and a man and really not equipped for that sort of thing, but Jared was so excited and had all these ideas and before he knew it, there they were on the floor of Jensen's—their, whatever, he was still getting used to the idea of them together and sharing and all that—apartment with brochures spread everywhere. No pictures, because they didn't want to be all superficial about it, but personality profiles, likes and dislikes, test scores, IQ scores. Jensen looked at all of it and thought it would be really cool to have a super baby. Although not if actual animal parts were involved. He was willing to give up the super baby status to ensure an all-human kid.

Jensen came home one night from rehearsal pretty much dead on his feet and wishing he'd never agreed to do this summer thing with the Neo-Futurists, because he loved the whole Too Much Light, short-plays thing and it was fun and exciting and every night was different with live theatre, but it was exhausting, too, so yeah. But Jensen came home after a show and it was two in the morning, it was a Saturday night and Jared waited up for him. He was just sitting there, grinning, and Jensen knew. Anne was pregnant. Knocked up. In the family way. It was done. Anne was going have their kid.

It wasn't until that moment that Jensen started freaking out.

A Completely Biased, Not Entirely Accurate Walking Tour of Chicago


So it's yoga three mornings a week, weekends too if Jared is home, the daycare two mornings, and time with the girls for the rest. He tries to take them someplace once a week—a museum or down to the lake or Navy Pier if it's not too cold.

(  They don't get to talk that night because Charlie is up with a stomach ache like Jensen knew she would be, and Jensen almost feels relieved about it. )

Comments: This is for wendy, who asked for more Big Bang schmoop. And I think I'm allowed to say now that the artists have chosen--my BB is called Last Stop: Chicagoland, so we can consider this part of Chicagoland. But it takes place long before that story, and you don't need to know anything about it for the purposes of this.

( Jared officially and completely hates Thanksgiving. First off, because he's pretty sure it's a holiday based on the oppression and genocide of an indigenous people which is, you know, a seriously bad thing, but secondly, because he totally sucks at baking. )

And for wendy, I wrote some secret pre-Big Bang fic:

Dating on the Regular

Pairing: Jensen/Jared
Rating: Adult
Comments: Stealth pre-big bang fic. But it'll definitely make sense without knowing anything about my big bang.

( Jared's not gay, but he's maybe a little gay for Jensen. )
